Dice Vs. USAspec
#161
Wait so if I dont want to lose the XM there is no way to get text. Then would it be better just to buy the $99 dollar kit vs the $159? Is that what you did beaner? (lol that sounds so racist) Also, how much is it going to run me to have the dealer install it? Does someone have a diy thread on this?

Question after reading 7 pages in this thread, or I just missed it. Are there any glitches with the ipod touch? I'm assuming it should be the same as the Iphone, but wanted to make sure before I make my purchase.

That's a hell of a price drop. Makes me nervous as to problems and them trying to unload them. Only $32 price change on the USA Spec.
Hmm...anybody swear by these things that has used them? (Dice)

Well from the other thread you can see that I just ordered mine for $88 shipped from Cardomain. Dice has been making Apple certified ipod kits for longer than any other company. I would think that their customer service has to be fair. Espically with Nick on here helping us out I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Nick,
Will the DICE, or rather can the DICE unit be interacted with a device that is used for TV? I want TV and the Ipod intergration in my 06 MT NBP TL and I am searching for the best solution for both. Help if you can please!

1. Yes!
2. Yes!
3. If you have the 1st or 2nd gen Nano, Yes! If you have a 3rd gen, then No!
4. Yes! Your internal CD deck remains uneffected.

Also, sending new ones to all? Is that everyone that has registered the product with dice? How does that work?

Very few Honda/Acura cars are having a problem during the radio start up process. The Honda radio does not recognize the extra input. This is a very rare problem and has occured about 4 or 5 times in the past 5 months. It happens with almost all aftermarket iPod adapters/AUX adapters on newer Honda cars.
It's time for a new iPod, yes? The 3G iPod are known to have issues with any iPod adapter. They are all "compatible" with the 3G iPod. But..... your functions are sometimes limited and slow.

Now, as Uncald4 said your iPod is going to cause some problems. It won't start playing by itself, have trouble advancing/rewinding tracks, and may not stop correctly. The 3rd gen didn't have alot of the remote capabilities that later generations had.

Well I'm pleased with the Dice adapter so far.
Only negative from the USAspec a can see right now is skipping to the next song. I'm used to reaching to the next song/skip button on the cd changer to skip to the next song, but with the Dice it just starts fast forwarding. It works on the skip button on the steering wheel and ipod, but very quirky on the cd player controls. Its just easy to switch that way, gonna take some time to get used to not reaching for that. Cause once you touch that button it won't stop FF......

I know its about time for me to get a new Ipod, My 3g can still play music though!
But I have a newfound problem that isn't related to the ipod.
I have my Dice installed on SAT mode with text, which works fine- Then i found out my HFL problem was being created by the XM Being unplugged. (See: https://acurazine.com/forums/console-computer-gaming-13/rpm-vs-acl-tonight-8pm-144087/#post1876574 )
So I went to put the DICE in CDC mode (Flipped all jumpers UP), unplugged the battery for a minute, and turned the car on.
I can not find out how to put the car into CDC mode. Was that feature deleted in the 2007 models?
If not, can someone please tell me how to get the DICE to work in this mode? I tried holding the CD Button, and searched through all the menus. Couldnt get it to work, so i flipped it back to SAT mode. and that still worked...

hey nick, quick question...
are individuals who currently using the dice product (w/ text display) able to use a video module to install i.e. a back up camera or dvd player?
I currently would like to install the Dice product, have the pirks of text display through disabling XM, etc.. but would also install a back up camera. Your insight on if this is possible would be great!

Thanks for the response... not the answer i was hoping for but an answer nonetheless... looks like i am going to have to choose between a back up camera and having an ipod adapter with all the perks. so many toys.. so little space!

Assuming I get the switches up, what is the correct procedure to switch the stereo into CDC Mode on a 2007? I see no mention of it in the car's manual, Im really wondering if the feature was removed since the MusicLink thing is no longer around, and there is no need for an external changer since there is an internal one.

The camera and the ipod adapter are completely separate of each other......

Ahh, yeah, after reading it over again, it made better since. I think I'm going to take a peek in getting both of these installed. I also checked out the external HD mod which looks pretty awesome, but might be over kill for me. Thank god today was payday! time to spend money!
Are there any screenshots of what the interface looks like for the Dice adapter in the Navi screen?
