I installed DICE last Saturday on my 04' Prius. When I first connected it to the MFD all worked fine, I got text, could change playlists, albums, the works! After putting the car back together, the MFD stopped working (not responsive to keys, not showing any info, etc.). I disconnected the DICE unit and reconnected it, and now it's working in "reduced functionality" (tried to disconnect and re-connect several times and didn't get any different result). What I mean is that in the 6cd changer, only the 1cd icon is enabled. I can listed the music from the iPod and change tracks, but I no longer see the music meta (artist, title) nor the time, the track number is not in sync, etc. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks Fabio

This is a well known problem, and I experienced it myself. See http://priuschat.com/MFD-Failure-NOT-t27530.html All I did was power reset the DICE unit, unplug from power for a while. And it works normally ever since.

DICE mode -> iPod mode b. powercycle c. iPod-> dice mode d. power on now all works fine, but I placed the dice unit in a location more easily accessible because I feel I will need to do it again in the future.

My dice worked fine, but then stopped displaying song titles (and could not be controlled from the steering wheel), and then, after changing the DIP switches (as suggested on this forum), stopped working completely. (I of course changed them back...) I have a 2005 with no CD changer, so now I can at least use my single CD again Thanks, Jonathan.
That's now happened a couple of times, so I've installed the DICE unit in a position where I can reach it easily. All I have to do is to unplug it from its connector and plug it back in (i.e. powercycle it). <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(jdoakley @ Mar 22 2007, 08:52 PM) [snapback]410686[/snapback]</div>
I have a simmilar problem except the whole NAV,Climate,audio, and all steering wheel controls stop working sometimes not consistant at all and the screen reads external system not connected. OUCH!!!!! <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Fabio @ Jan 11 2007, 01:33 PM) [snapback]374152[/snapback]</div> <_<
