Major ICE-LINK Plus Problem

I installed my ice-link in January and it has worked great until now. Now, when the ice-link is hooked up I have various electrical problems, such as loss of climate control, loss of turn signal indicators, dim dashboard illumination, doors lock immediately after locking them...but as soon as I unplug it from the cd changer harness, it everything works fine. Has anyone else had this problem? Do I now have $200 woth of junk?

I had the same problems. Returned the board for a new one and the problems still occured. Had it checked by the MINI dealer and was told the ice-link+ was grounding the kbus, which isn't supposed to be done. With the ice-link removed they said everything was fine. I now use the official MINI ipod adapter and haven't had any problems.

Edit: I returned my ice-link and got my money back for it.
