I took mine to the dealer. CDR23. They charged me $70 to enable CDC - hmm... I told them how to do it (I was the first one asking) but they said they had to cover for the software. It took 3 min. Oh well. I have it working:-)
Only thing left is to figure out best place to get power for my more long term install. I have it in the trunk and the fiber connected to the amp (no CD). Any thoughts/suggestions where/how to tap into power appreciated. I feel a little bit uncomfertable cutting cables.

As an aside, the reason that CDC must be enabled is that the Dension/iPod unit emulates or appears to the headunit as a CDC, since there is no Dension/MOST/iPod node recognized by the headunit (MOST master) as it did not exist and is not in the S/W.
You are therefore limited to CDC functionality with your iPod.
Just the limitations of reverse engineering an OEM design.

I was charged $50 for the same 3 minutes and I, too, had to show the tech how to do it...
