I was thinking of buying the NEW Dice unit supplied by DICE and Dension in the US. Anyone using one ? Is it any good ? How does it compare to the Vais Tech unit ?
You may want to read the DICE group buy thread, as it should answer some of your questions. There is even a comparation between the DICE and VIAS. I have a 2005 #6, which has the NAV and JBL, and the beta testing shows that the DICE works with that model. I'm planning to get it when the testing is done.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mark Whaley @ Jun 16 2006, 11:33 AM) [snapback]272328[/snapback]</div> FWIW, I've been using the VAIS SLI product in my 2005 Prius for a few months now, and it works very well. The features are virtually identical to the DICE unit, except they seem to handle playlists a little differently. The VAIS unit is more expensive (US$299 when I bought it), but it is available NOW.

Well I called DICE (Dension USA) and I found out that they are located in Long Beach, CA (about 30 mins from where I work), so I drove up there at lunchtime and bought a unit. I installed whilst I was there in the car park in 10 mins and all is working great ! They even offered to help me install (and their was no mention of cost for doing so !) $173.10 out the door, but I did not see the posting showing the cheaper price above until after, besides I am impatient, so waiting a few more days would have killed me.
I'm glad it works! I just ordered mine. Heh, 30 minutes after my first post on this thread, Danny made the announcement. Now to get an iPod,
