DICE Silverline exchange info

Do you have a video of this working on a Prius? Do you also separately have details of what is different and how this works?

 

Let me be the first to say thanks for all the tech help (and (snarky) answers) you've provided for all of us in trying to figure out our giant electronic toys.

All the best to you and and yours in whatever it is that you pursue.

 

May be off-topic but if I buy one from diceelectronics.com or from the Prius Chat shop, will I be getting the Silverline model?

Also, does the Silverline model purport to fix the MFD issues for those of us with XM/Sirius integration?

 

So very sorry to hear about the family difficulties. Thanks for taking the time to help sort out this issue, while going through a bad patch.

Will keep you in my prayers.

Mine is ready to send back. Does it go to the same address?

So if I just purchased a Dice unit but have not received it yet, do I owe an extra $50 for the newer one, or are you just sending out the newest model when it becomes available?

 

I'm in the same situation, and I'm fairly certain the holdup has been that the Shop was waiting for delivery of the new units. In other words, you should be getting the new unit.

 

A video would be awesome...

 

I have it installed now and I can try and make a video this weekend and put it on YouTube. I'm still a little confused by the UI of the unit.

Well, I just got off the phone with support at Dice Electronics. I'm hoping the guy I talked to just doesn't know what he's talking about. He claimed to have NO knowledge of a free upgrade program for '08 users. He told me that it would be a $50 upgrade. He did take down my name and number and said he would check into it and get back with me, but I haven't heard back from him yet. When I mentioned the posts by Vagabond, he didn't even hesitate before jumping in with "Vagabond is no longer with the company" which kind of worries me.

I also just sent off an email to [email protected] asking about the upgrade program and copied Vagabond's two posts from above into the email. Hopefully I'll get some good news back, but I'll post back here with the results of my inquiry as soon as I get them.

 

I have an 2008 Prius, I have PM you my info. In face I'm the one who started the thread about the DICE not working in the 2008 model.
I'm not sure what I need to do! Do I need to do anything or will a new Silver DICE be in my mail box soon?

I shot a video installation today, i have trouble with my unit, once I get the whole thing working I'll complete the video with a tutorial, assuming it works right.

 

Post what you have so far. If nothing else it would be interesting.

 

I bought a DICE unit March 1st, 2007 for my 2007 Prius Tour Package 3 (yes bluetooth, no nav).

I called DICE this morning and they gave me an upgrade price of $99 for the Silver so I ordered it. It is shipping ground so it will probably be here in a week.

Note that they said not to bother sending the old unit back to them because it is too old.

 

i was in touch via email with them, mine was bought 1/5/08, hopefully they will hook me up with something that works,

I will work on the video footage as fast as I can, editing takes a lot of time, maybe I'll just throw it up without editing so you all can see what I did, and all my battle wounds, LOL

 

Same here (I got my DICE in May 2006). Since this is going within So Cal it should arrive tomorrow or Thursday. I did get the tracking number.

 

I'm tempted. But even though I bought just around a year ago, the thing never really worked right from the start. Well enough, yes, but "right"? No. $99 seems a bit much just to get something to work right... :/

 

$99 is for the added features that I will be getting with the new version. That's why I'm upgrading.

 

did you have to send the wiring harness AND the unit, or just the unit?
