Yes. You can use both XM and the DICE kits.

The cradle outputs video to a RCA plug.

So that's what I have as the settings (down,up on the 1st bank, up,up on the 2nd bank) and still getting the behavior as described before. Have unplugged from the car and plugged back in. Any other ideas? Thanks.

 

I just ordered a DICE unit, but the email I got regarding shipment just said it's part of a group buy and didn't give any specific time as to when the unit will ship. Does anyone know when can I expect to get it?

I'm assuming you ordered it from this site, and he has stock so I don't think it will be long.

Hello Paulisme.... Have you recieved your Dice unit or any info about when it will be shipped. I'm also waiting for my unit to be ship ?

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Vagabond @ May 4 2007, 10:08 AM) [snapback]435496[/snapback]</div>

My bad, he'll have stock soon. Thanks to UPS a shipment got delayed by a few days.

I sent an email asking for a shipment date and received a reply that said they plan to send it out Thursday.

Hello Paulisme......Have you received your Dice unit yet ? I still have not got my yet,still waiting.

Yep, I got mine. Of course I only live about 100 miles from where it was shipped, so it got here in two days.

Need some help. I received my DICE iPod integration kit, but it did not have the cable to connect to my iPod. What do I need to do to get this? Kurt

Nevermind. I found the cable. It got mixed up with some other stuff. Installed the DICE. Now to try it out.

OK, we are now resolved. I sent back all replacements and I was sent the most recent replacement, which
actually has a newer model number than my last replacement. My last replacement was the first with
the updated firmware. No indication of what is new about the current replacement. It came with a fully
updated installation manual. Once installed, it worked as described from the get go, no special power
disconnects or anything required, just plugged into the old connector. That also confirms that the prior
replacement was indeed defective. Sound is good except on only the highest level outputs. I will listen
for any sign of degradation over time. It took half a year, but there is sometimes a cost for being an
early adopter. I am pleased that they have been willing, with little discussion, to repeatedly replace the
unsatisfactory versions on my request.

Thanks for this. If you need anything else answered, let me know.

 

I've got an 06 Prius with option package 8. So I've got the NAV system, CD changer and Aux input. I also have the toyota XM option installed.

I saw on the DICE website that the kit hooks up to either the CD or SAT connector on the radio (which are both already in use on my vehicle). So is it possible for my to install the DICE ipod system with my current setup and still get all of the integration features(i.e. steering wheel controls, info display and browse capabilities) without disabling anything?

If so, what connector would the DICE hook up to?

Does anyone else have the same setup and use the DICE kit?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

If it's like the 2005, the first connection is a "Y" connection. To install the DICE you'd disconnect the SAT and plug it into the "Y" connection, then connect the "Y" to the radio (where the SAT connection was at). The remaining end connects to the DICE unit. That way you have your old SAT controls and the new DICE controls.

B)

You'll be able to keep your SAT radio without loss of functionality. The DICE kit also supports MP3 and MD modes on the off chance you have a external CD changer.

 

I have a Prius 2005 and I purchased the DICE unit and am having trouble installing it. Can you recommend someone in the Woodland Hills, CA area to install it? No matter how much I try, I'm unable to insert the connector in the rear of the stereo.
