There is a vendor on this site: uncald4 (Travis), who sells these units. Take a look in the "Sponsored Sales & Group Buys" section of the Black Market.

The DICE units will not initiate shuffle or repeat. The one on ebay is $150 plus $7 shipping.

My bad, 149 plus 7 shipping, still cheaper than the group buy.

Autotoys.com also has the regular R4 for 155 no shipping

You are reading what he said wrong...he said it won't INITIATE shuffle...but it will play it that way after you select shuffle on your iPod! I know because I do it! I can control my iPod from the controls ON the iPod using Classic iPod w/ firmware 1.0.3. (see pics below)

I cut the car on, iPod initializes, then goes to the regular blank screen. I cut the car off, back on, and then after iPod goes to the blank or ok to disconnect screen, I press on the menu button a few times, and VOILA!...the menu screen comes up for full use and operation! It stays that way as long as I don't disconnect the iPod, even when I cut the car off!

If you are not successful at doing this, you can always just set it for shuffle before you cut the car on and it will be that way thruout.






Ya'll know how I do!

Ya'll know how I do!

yo darksom what ipod do u have? is that the 3rd gen ipod nano? if so, how did u manage to get it to work like that? if trhats the nano can u explain a little clearer how you got it to work liek that? becuase when i hook up my 3rd gen, it locks the ipod and i can't control thru the nano. It happened a couple times when my ipod dies and it says " detached " on the navi, and when i reconnect, theres no display on the screen, but i can control thru the nano.

thanks darksom!

Correct me if I am wrong, but that looks like the Ipod video and not the nano.
