DICE Question: 3 pin or 6 pin?

I'm awaiting delivery of a 2006 MCS with Nav and H/K. The question I have is what to tell DICE with respect to what connection I need. On the website it has the following options, which do I choose?

Standard radio system. Trunk CD changer connection has a 3 and a 6 pin header.

or:

Trunk CD changer connection has a 3 pin header and coaxial cable. (+$90.00)

I want to get the DICE iPod kit installed as soon as I get the car, so what should I order? and why?

You'll have the standard BMW 3-pin and 6-pin connectors. The DICE interface you'll need is the I-BMW-T.

Just installed the BMW-T in my 06 w/ nav. You'll have to free the pins ends from the cable bundle in the right rear of the boot, then choose your routing path to the front. Works great, except for the text issue. Just so's you know if you haven't seen other posts, the text display takes over the nav - you have to disable text to get nav screen info back. ( That's what I know so far- I've only had it a day myself)

See https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=68267 for the whole story.
