1) Connect iPod
2) let it initialize
3) cut car off, then on again after a second or two
4) press menu button repeatedly on iPod, then let it go (like 5-6 times), and play with scroll wheel a few times, then wait for it
5) if it doesn't work, repeat it from step #3
As you can see from my pics, it works!

Hi Lavo --
May I ask what else needs to be done after hitting CD? Do any other buttons need to be pressed? I'm having the same problem and I tried hitting CD but it doesn't recognize the DICE. I lost the manual that came with the adapter and it's not posted on the DICE website...thanks in advance for your response.

Also, if you have an 07, (at least for me) The dice does not work on the CDC mode.. 1 out of 3 times it will come up, but most of the time it just doesnt work.
It sucks, I am forced to use XM mode...Dice says its not an issue they know of..

Regarding the shuffle/repeat business, I talked to Adam at DICE last week and he said it definitely is not supposed to be resetting those. In other words, if you set the ipod to shuffle off and repeat off once it should resume with those settings automatically when you turn off the ignition and return later. He was not aware of this issue, but apparently many of you are having it, and I still haven't found a solution for it. All the previous tricks people mentioned don't seem to work for me :-(
Adam - Have you figured out a solution yet, or is this a bug?

Given my vehicle, should I purchase DICE or USA? Will I be able to play XM and CDs through the changer? From reading all this thread I understand that is the case but I want to be certain.

I have the original Ipod right now. Still love it. Will the USA and the Dice be compatible with it???

FYI: I talked to dice today about my shuffle/repeat issue and they said that they will have a software update next week sometime. He got my name and number and will call with the details on how to get my Dice Silverline back to them for the update.

As far as using the newest iPods with the DICE unit in XM mode. After the car has started and seized control of your iPod, hold down the menu and select buttons on your iPod for around 5 seconds. This will "reset" your iPod. When it comes back, you will have control through the iPod only. You lose the text display and track control from the head unit, but you'll be able to navigate those 1000's of songs a lot more easily.

i have 05 tl, with NAVI and i will be keeping XM.
I have never opened a car's console or radio compartment, so I am very reluctant to do so now.
Can anyone recommend a reliable place that would do a DICE install, in the NYC area? I am in Queens, but anywhere in the NYC area would be fine.
TIA

I first contacted DICE back in March about the shuffle/repeat issue and I was given a time frame of 7-10 days for a software fix. I called again in early April and was again told it would be a week to a week and a half before they expected a working solution to the issue. Both times the tech support representative took my name and number and promised to call when there was a fix.
I followed up today for a third time and was told that finding a solution for the issue had been de-prioritized and that tech support just started working on it this past Wednesday. When asked for a specific time frame in which they expected to have a solution to the problem the representative could only say "maybe two to three weeks."
Personally, I'm not pleased with the Silverline thus far and I do not think it is worth the price I paid considering it doesn't do a single thing it was advertised to be capable of doing. If there's not a fix soon I am going to ship it back to DICE and I'll wait for a product that actually works.

I've had similar results talking to DICE. Did anyone have the shuffle/repeat issue with the R4 (or was it R2?...can't remember), or is this only with the Silverline? I was always told that the DICE and USASpec were very comparable (if you don't want text), but now I'm starting to wonder....

My XM trial ran out and i decided not to renew it so i switched my silverline over to show text. ive figured most of it out but i noticed a problem
When im playing the ipod while the radio is on xm, when i turn the car off the ipod pauses for a second and then continues to play. it plays till the artists song run out then turns off. when i had the XM, it paused the ipod when the car was turned off.
I noticed that if i switched to the radio or whatever, the ipod pauses and stays paused, even when i turn the car off. any thoughts?
also can someone explain what hitting the #6 button does. i know its something with scroll but i need to know more. thx

I contacted DICE today and spoke with Adam; he said they came out with a "fix" last week - as far as I know this update only addresses the shuffle/repeat issue. DICE is supposed to be mailing a replacement module - I'll let you know how it works out...

The IPOD played the same songs in random order.

I tried the scan button to change the shuffle setting but it didn't seem to work on mine. Will you actually see it change on the ipod screen itself if you are in the "settings" screen? I'm still manually having to set shuffle/repeat to off every time I start the car (or worse, while I'm driving).
I also think I'm getting some bleed-through buzzing on my XM now. Is that common? It's faint, but you can really tell when you're listening to the XM traffic/weather station (or is that just the station?).
Another question - If you're not using text mode, is there any sanity to the Disc +/- and Track settings that are on the Nav screen? Seems to me like I just chose one that worked but most of them cause problems (lose my track button functionality, etc). Seems like you just leave those alone once you find one that works....

I received the replacement module from DICE last week. Hooked it up this weekend and the shuffle/repeat problem is gone. Still have a minor problem with getting the NAV screen to display the CD-C mode (to recognize the iPod) sometimes but usually turning the car off and on fixes it. Thanks to DICE for addressing the shuffle/repeat issue and specifically to Adam S. for getting the replacement module out to me so quickly.

Hi guys,
I've been reading through various threads on iPod integration and I'm still not clear on something...
I have an '06 TL with NAV (I'm not using XM so I can disable it) and I have an 80G iPod classic. With this Dice Silverline, can I control my iPod classic from the iPod itself? I'm not interested in controlling it from the steering wheel or having the text on the display; I just want to control the iPod from itself.
Is there a mode on the Dice to make this work?
Thanks for the feedback.
Mark

Ive been searching through these threads and this one seemed as good as any to ask, I have a non navi 05 tl and I just want something that I can control with steering wheel controls, (preferably see text but depending on price) and i want to make sure I can control it on my ipod as well, and have it charge my ipod. What unit out there would be good for me? I looked at DICE but their website has new stuff for XM which i dont need. Any help appreciated, pm me if you know a good bit about these things and want to help a brotha out.
