DICE ipod integration vs. usaspec
#321
I just received my unit but will wait until this weekend to make the installation.
Before that I want to know if anyone can tell me the time response differences between Ipod mode and Dice mode? (i.e. How long does it take to change track? is it a big difference like 1 sec vs 3 sec?) Also how long does it takes to initalize in DICE mode?
If I put it in IPOD mode, when you are switching tracks, will there be a track number displaying (something like 01 to 99 ?)
I'm trying to make the decison if I should use Dice mode or IPod mode. Thanks!

There's no reason to use iPod mode really.

ok I took out my factory MP3 player and got the Dice unit installed. It's a pain, since I had to remove the center console to get to the metal brackets that hold the MP3 player together. But after the non-navi to navi conversion, nothing is impossible to do. The sound quality for the Dice unit is great. The sound quality is pretty the same as the factory MP3 Player. Track changing is pretty fast too. Maybe faster than the CD since it's accessing the data from flash memory rather than a CD.
I started out by putting the Dice unit in SAT mode. I can hear sound from both the Ipod and the XM receiver. After taking a look quick through my electrical troubleshooting manual, I noticed the audio from the XM receiver is running to another connector at the front passenger door before going to the Audio unit. Since this is easier to access than the XM receiver in the trunk, I decided to unplug it and I was able to get music coming from the ipod only.
One problem with this is that since I only disconnected the audio from the XM receiver, I still see text coming in from the XM receiver too. So half of the time I get the text from my Ipod and half of the time I get text coming from the XM receiver. I then figured that I could find out where the rest of wires from the XM receiver go so I could disconnect that and everything will be fine. But after going through the manual these wires happen to go into another connector that contains other wires that could not be disconnected. Therefore I could not just unplug that connector to disable the text coming from the XM receiver. At first I thought I've found a better place to disable the XM receiver than getting to the XM unit in the trunk, but I was wrong.
So after all of this, I decided to put it back to CDC mode. What's sux about me is I'm using a 3rd gen Video nano. Once I plugged that thing in, I lose user interface with the Ipod. Right now I can only change tracks throught the buttons on the steering wheel and the dash. I can't do anything with my Ipod, so it's pretty much useless after I plugged it in.
What I've also noticed is that the Random, Repeat, ect. on the screen is not functioning. So now I'm stuck with skipping throug the songs one by one.
I also tried to turn the car off and on to see if the song will start back at where it was when the car is shutted off and that works great. A plus there.
I took the car out for a ride and on the way back I notice something is not working right. I cycled from the Ipod mode to CD to listen to some song from there. After 3 songs, I cycled back to Ipod mode and I hear no music. I thought it's a song in my Ipod so I change it to a different song, but no music there either. I then cycle through all the sources and back to Ipod again, this time the music came on. I will try to run through this scenario again tomorrow and see if I can get the same thing to occur.
Question to Nick: Can I use Disc 2, Disc 3, ect. in CDC mode to change playlist and album? If can, how do you do that? I can't seem to be able to change playlist or album while in Disc 2 or Disc 3. The only thing I can do is to change track number in Disc 1 and Audio source in Disc 5. Disc 6 doesn't provide me the Firmware version either. I use the CH + and - on the steering wheel when I have the Disc selected, but nothing happens in Disc 2, 3, 4 or 6. when I press the + and - the track number changes as if Disc 1 is selected. Do you know why?
Okay this is it for today. I will get more report in once I can figure out how to get to the XM receiver. Right now I'm having problem to take the trunk apart so I can get the the XM receiver. If anyone have instructions on how to remove the stuff in the trunk to get to the XM receiver, I will be happy to read it.

Okay I might have found the answer to changing between playlists. I need to use the Tune knob to change it right? I will test this out tomorrow morning.
One other feature that I left out on the previous post that I had tested is you can hold down the SEEK >> or << to fast forward or backward the song.

Okay after another day of driving around. It seems like I'm keeping getting the same problem. If I turn off the car and leave it in CD-C mode, after I came back and started the car, the song will start playing (no startup issue here). After playing the song for a couple minutes the music stops. I tried changing to a new track, but that didn't help. I would have to cycle through the sources and came back to CD-C to hear the song playing again.
I've also tried leaving CD-C mode and cycle to CD mode. If I leave it in CD mode for a long time and coming back to CD-C mode, I would get the same problem. I will lose the sound from the Dice unit. This time instead of cycling through the sources, I decided to switch to Disc-5 and changed the audio sources (Ipod and Aux) instead. This fixes the sound problem and I can hear the music playing again. I've tried cycling through the playlist and album, but that didn't help. You can get the sound back from cycling through the source or switching to Aux and back to Ipod without leaving CD-C mode.
Note: I was able to select playlist and album by using the + CH - on the steering wheel, not the << TUNE >> knob as I thought earlier. I think I have the same songs in multiple playlist that's why I thought I wasn't working.
I still lose the user interface to my 3rd gen Video nano when it's connected to the Dice unit. This is the greatest lost to me.

Okay done with removing the connector on the XM unit.
I have a question though.
I want to change the text display function on my TSX, but I don't see any DISP - Mode button as stated in the manual (I think the TL or accord has this only). Is there any other way I can change the text display settings on my TSX?

Thanks I got it
I think the audio problem is causing by the unit pausing the song. Since I lose the user interface with my ipod I cannot restart the song. This might not happen on other types of Ipod though.
I get this audio problem pretty consistency. The text will show up "PAUSE" when this is happening. Maybe the DICE unit thinks that I switched to another audio source so it sends out a PAUSE signal to stop the song? Once I cycled through the sources then it will not pause the song anymore. Everything works fine from that point on.
About the text display function, I think it's pretty useless to have it in scroll mode. One example is that the text will cycle from Artist*Album to Song name (before finished showing the Artist*Album) and back to Artist*Album (before finishing the Song name). The time to display each field is varied, causing the text to flash back and forth (very distracting). This happens only on the sub-clock display. It will scroll fine on the navi screen.

Hello Nick,
I just went through 14 pages of reading up on this. I was seriously thinking of picking up the USA Spec unit based on more reading within the forums and how the HU/Steering wheel controls work.
What caught my interest with the Dice unit is it displays text.
I'm in Toronto Canada, and as per your post, you mentioned you have units that will work with an 05 TSX with NAVI. Question is, since we don't have the XM button, what button would we use? Can you provide us with details on how this functions with the TSX's up north?
TIA

Do you have any authorized dealers or know of any places that sell your product within Canada? I'll also be heading down to Pennsylvania over the weekend, so I'll be passing by Buffalo. Any dealers in that area as well?

Yes, it's been tested in an 05 TSX Canadian.
You can contact uncald4 here on the boards, he ships to Canada from Seattle.

All I did was downgrading my Ipod firmware back to version 1.0.1 and the pausing problem went away. Everything works perfectly now with the exception of losing the Ipod's user interface with the new Ipod gen. Other than that, I'm very happy with my purchase.

I just read through all of this and I have a few questions about the DICE unit.
I have a 2007 TSX non-navi. I used to own a 2005 TSX non-navi and I had the Neo iOn installed in it. I still have the Neo iOn and I intended to install it in my 2007 when I get around to it (assuming it will work on a 2007, hmm...). I loved the simplicity of the Neo iOn - it charged my iPod, allowed me to control my iPod directly, paused/unpaused the iPod when I turned the car off/on and allowed me to skip tracks using the steering wheel controls.
I'd be perfectly happy sticking with the Neo, except that I want text!
My questions...
1. Does the DICE unit provide all of these capabilities?
a) Charge the iPod
b) Allow me to control the iPod directly (I know newer models don't work, I have a 5th gen)
c) Pause/unpause the iPod when I turn the car off/on or switch to FM, etc.
d) Skip tracks using the steering wheel controls
I believe the answer is yes, based on what I've read, but I want to be sure - and I haven't seen much talk about a) or c).
2. Is it difficult to install? I installed the Neo iOn without even taking out the head unit (http://www.tangledupsidedown.com/ipod.html). Do I have to take everything out to install the DICE?
3. Where do you put the DICE unit itself? Is it small enough to fit behind the bins like my Neo did or do I have to run the wires somewhere else?
Thank you!

It is very easy to install in the TSX. You can place the DICE module in many places. Just pick a spot that you are comfortable with.

Dice ipod interface
New to Acurazine. This is a great source ofr info but I'm hoping you guys can save me a bit of reading. I have an 06TL with a factory stereo with XM and 6 disc internal CD changer, no Navi. Will the Dice R4 unit hook up to my system allowing the CD changer and XM to function. I believe to keep XM I will not get text. Please confirm. Also where's the best location to buy the Dice unit and does anyone have the stereo removal instructions for an 06 TL. Thanks

Is there some sort of manual i can download or buy from acura for my 2005 tsx non navi that would show me how to disassemble the car so i can install this device...?
I remember i had a scooter once and i was able to buy a really thick manual for $50 that showed you how to practically disassemble the whole thing... does acura have something similar?
thanks in advance

To those who are experiencing a 'Pausing' problem with the new iPod Classic or 3rd gen Nano:
Apple released a new firmware that addresses this problem. Update your iPod's and please let me know what happens.

Does anyone know if the iPod v1.2.3 update for the 5.5 generation iPod breaks anything with the DICE unit? When Apple says it fixes bugs, I wonder if it "fixes" the 5th generation iPods so you can no longer control them directly when they're connected.

But I seriously doubt it. Apple has had PLENTY of time to lock it up, there is no reason to do it now.

But I seriously doubt it. Apple has had PLENTY of time to lock it up, there is no reason to do it now.

ok, so now that we're in the holiday season, i was thinking of bundling together the Dice with the new Nano for the girlfriend...after reading through this entire thread, i'm pretty much set on everything, so please let me know if im missing anything...
gf's car: '07 Accord non-navi with XM (but 3-month trial ended and no desire to continue, so i would just take out head unit connection), so R3 Dice
is the $149 price still good these days or any sales currently going on??
i'd be willing to take lots of pics if need be

Or you can just PM me if you're ready to order. I just need your email address so that I can send you a PayPal invoice.

How do we get an updated unit? I'm one of those that have been experiencing the startup issues (06 TSX non-navi). Also, have the issues been fixed for those who have the updated unit?
Thanks
