You know that you get special pricing on the DICE kits right? Send me an email or PM if you'd like to order one.

Thank you uncald4 for the response
So if i want to have HD Radio and have my Ipod working using the XM input (I dont use XM) in my 2005 TSX NO Navi I need the following cables
HD-Honda-R3 .................................................. ........ $XXX shipped within the U.S.
iPod cable for the HD unit ....................................... $XX must be shipped with HD
*Data from this website https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/dice-ipod-kits-exclusive-buy-acurazine-371815/ *
What are the shipping costs?
Question about the HD radio
It works just like the factory radio i have now except
1) I just get better quality radio
2) I get more raido stations
3) ALL my controls on the steering wheel and on the radio itself are still going to work right?
4) No monthly charges
5) Is the install going to be as easy as the iPod integration?
Thanks in Advance

*Mods i dont know if im allowed to mention prices here if not i would like to know please*

I'm sold on this item except for the part where it sometimes doesn't start up in the beginning. I am aware that you guys are looking for a car so you can check the on board computer for information on the problem. Ill wait until you guys have that single problem ironed out and stay subscribed to this with this thread for further updates. When the problem is fixed ill get this product for sure.
BTW are there any workarounds for this problem as of now expect for restarting the car?
Thanks for the reply Nick

I apologize for your frustrations. I assure you that the hard working folks at DICE are brewing a solution.

after a week with the r4...i have to say this is the best unit i've ever had. I haven't had a power issue as of today so hopefully it'll stay that way. changing tracks is instant. there's no delay at all. great product

I've had mine in my 2005 TSX for a few weeks now, overall I'm quite happy with it. The text is very useful, if a bit twitchy sometimes, but with strategic use of playlists I can navigate songs easily enough to find something I want to hear.
I do have the issue where the DICE unit will not be recognized after starting the car. Only recourse is to restart the car. FYI, I installed a DICE unit in my girlfriend's Mazda 6 and she too has the same problem, once in a while the DICE won't wake up. Hopefully they can work out this issue because it seems strange.
A few other minor nits. I was going to use the iPod dock that Apple sells to hold my iPod near the "not an ashtray." Apparently the iPod will get power but the DICE can't find it. I suspect this has something to do with the mode that allows you to control the iPod by itself or through the car, but I could be wrong. Another little issue I found was that sometimes the Artist*Album field won't get updated when it goes to the next song. This happens maybe once or twice on a four hour trip, the solution I've found is to power off the stereo and power it back on. Or just wait until the next song if it doesn't annoy you, it usually corrects itself then.
These nits aside, I am happy with the unit. If they fix the power on issue and add the ability to turn shuffle and on and off through the head unit I'll give it a 10.

Yes all your steering wheel controls will work.
There's an extra step of installing the antenna, but it's terribly hard.

Can't really speak about your ashtray thingie other than make sure the iPod is really secure. In a accident or sudden stop an iPod makes for a great projectile against your face or other body parts.

Still going to wait for the start up thing to be fixed before i get it...

Add a way to set Random (Shuffle) and Repeat modes from the car,
You replied

Just curious if there is an update on that?

Hey guys, I just installed the DICE in my '05 TSX (thanks uncald4) and had a quick question. After I go to the playlist function (disk 2) I can't figure out how to get back to where I can browse through all of the albums on my ipod, I can brouse through the albums in the playlist but I need to get back to the point where I can brouse through every album I have loaded. How do I get out of the playlists so I can just change through all of the albums?
The unit was easy to install and it sounds great!

On another note... how does that sub sound?

OK i'm running into this problem, i've disconnected the xm in the trunk, and hooked up my iphone but the text isnt displaying on the screen and its cutting in and out of a song, then it just cuts off. Any suggestions?

Forget my last post, i figured out what was going on. Forgot to change the config switch. Now my problem is that i have to play with the dock cable to get audio from both sides of the car, its only playing through the left channels...

Now that's odd. Make sure everything is plugged in very firmly.

Yeah everything is as far as it would go. I wrapped it with electrical tape and it seems to hold it in place, havent driven around yet though.

i dont think the dice supports text from the iphone. i have the r4 and it just shows INT on the navi...but it works perfectly with it other than that. for me, I have to have the iphone in ipod mode for it to play. I can't use the factory controls or anything. All controls are done with the iphone...only thing i have control of in the car is the volume...

BUT when a correct connection is established you'll lose the ability to change the music from the iPhone.

Nick, I've noticed a number of folks in other threads are having the startup issue with the DICE unit--what is the status of this fix? It's been about 2 months for me and it's still a super-annoying problem...will a replacement unit fix this?

As for the new iPod's we have a stack of each and every iPod that came out, both model and HDD size so I'll let you know what the story is on those, again tomorrow or the next day. However, I'm 90% certain there will be ZERO problems.
