Important update on DICE HD unit for Prius

lol... RIGHT.... I installed the ice:link Plus iPod kit from DICE early last year. It freezes up at least once a week. The solution is to power reset it. So I installed it unit behind the plastic hump below the radio where I can reach it whenever I need. I contacted DICE, they promised an update in "a few weeks", but never happened.

Then later on that year, they come out with a new unit called DICE iPod integration kit. After numerous email exchanges and phone calls, they finally agree to exchange ice:link Plus with DICE iPod kit. After about 1 year of use, DICE iPod kit froze once, which is a lot better than ice:link Plus.

An 05.... and between you and me, (all very hush hush) the root problem is known and should be fixed in a few weeks.

 

Can someone with the HD dice post photos of the interface on the MFD when using the HD Radio and iPod functionality?

I've checked the manual on the dice website but it only talks about pressing the hard buttons for track up and track down and that sort of thing. If it integrates well and is easily navigable with the MFD then I'm buying one as soon as people starting saying the bugs have been worked out.

Thanks.

Shoot me a PM with your complete contact and car info. Also where you bought it from and I'll pass it along.

And now, according to my calendar, it's been more than a few weeks. A few months, actually. Any update from them? I'd really like to add this unit to my '05, but, so far, I haven't heard much positive comment on it....

Thanks,

Chuck

The current (gen 3) generation has been solid. You should see some report of people using them crop up over the next few weeks.

I don't yet know if it is DICE related or not, haven't heard from the dealer yet, but my MFD stopped working, Identical to TSB EL002-05. The DIce has been in there at least a month or more without any problems. I don't know how it could affect the MFD since it connects into the radio first, and that is working fine.

Can you get to the unit? And tell me the digits written on the bottom? They should say like 54 or 56 or something like that. PM me your info and we can setup an exchange to be safe.

 

Bought via Priuschat site and installed mine a couple of months ago and everything was fine until last weekend. Unplugging and replugging at the DICE unit reset everything. Mine's installed behind the bottom glove box along the L wall, so it's easy to get to by just pulling the bottom glove box out.
