Which is the better and cheaper way to go, upgrade radio with aux compatible, or buy dice kit.
I know if i upgrade to a newer radio i will have to buy antenna adapter and Aux cable, , the radio i have now is a business HK from 01 sedan.

If you have a CD-changer, read this and this.

DO NOT BUY THE DICE KIT

IT IS A FLAMING PILE OF CRAP.

Both my friend and I have non functioning kits, he is worse of than I, but honestly, i can't explain how pissed off i am at this ****ing kit.. it's truly a bad solution.. skip it.

I agree on the DICE thing. Even though it's cheaper and easier it's TOTAL CRAP, I recommend a NEW headunit !

Negative comments aside, the DICE kit is perfectly fine with your stock radio, especially if you already have an iPod. It's also the most cost-effective solution in your case.

This is the kit you need:

DICE - SILVERLINE iPod Integration Kit for 3 Series/M3 99-06 (Trunk Interface)

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Had an iPod kit in my 325Ci, Mustang GT, and 530i and loved them. Did not have the Dice, so I can not coment on it. But I can say that if you like OEM then go for it, I had the Icelink Plus and it beat the hell out of burning CD's. I do not have that option in my Range now and it sucks hooking up to the Aux, using the iPod to navigate vs a system like the Dice and Icelink that is manuevered via the factory radio.

I'd do the DICE kit personally, if nothing more than for the radio and steering wheel integration. I absolutely love my kit and it's been a very popular upgrade for those that want an OEM like interface.
