Features

integration for iPod

The auxiliary input has settings for gain, bass, mid and treble in order to optimize sound. Volume (Gain) should be adjusted if the audio level from the auxiliary device is too low or to high. If you hear

distorted audio while playing the auxiliary device, you need to reduce (-) the gain. If you notice that the audio is too quiet then the gain setting should be increased (+). Default settings are "50" ("68" for gain) and values may be adjusted in increments between 01-99. Bass, Mid and Treble should be adjusted to compensate for the acoustic presets of the radio.

Note: If you are using an AUX device that uses the vehicle’s power source and not its own battery, you may have to use a GROUND-LOOP isolator to avoid grounding and engine noise.

FAQ for iPod integration

Will my factory radio support text display?

Yes, select CD-text and/or SAT capable radios can support text display.

Do I have to disconnect the CD changer in my vehicle?

Externally mounted CD-changers (glovebox, trunk, etc.) need to be disconnected. In-dash CD changers built-in to the radio however, are retained.

Can I keep the factory satellite radio in my vehicle?

Yes, various operating modes are supported with the DICE integration kit to allow for the most flexible install. See specific kits for more details.

Do I need to have a navigation radio to be able to operate the kit?

No, non-nav and navigation head units are both supported.

Will the DICE integration kit charge my iPod/iPhone?

Yes, all iPod models and iPhone models are supported for charging, including the latest 5 volt iPod/iPhone models.

It appears that the DICE kit uses the same mini-din connector for the iPod dock cable as other kits. Can I use an iPod cable from another 3rd party system?

No. While cables may appear identical, the internal connections can be very different. Using a non-DICE branded cable can damage both the integration kit and the iPod.

What makes the DICE iPod integration kit different from others available on the market?

Our kits offer multi-source integration (can operate as CD/MP3/MD/SAT), text display on various vehicles, user-friendly interface, and more!

In any way can the DICE kit void my vehicle manufacturer’s warranty?

No, when the DICE kit is properly installed and operated, the vehicle’s warranty will not be voided.

If my vehicle has a CD-changer connection in the glovebox, can it be utilized for DICE integration for iPod?

For most vehicles, the glovebox connection can be used to integrate the DICE kit.

Can I use older iPod kits with my new iPod?

While control and music are available from older integration kits, they will only provide 12 volt charging which is no longer supported by new iPod models. New iPod cables are available for 5 volt charging.

Vehicle Specic

Can I keep the iPod controls active?

Yes, the iPod can be controlled directly if the DICE unit is set up in iPod mode. In this mode, text display may not be supported.

Which iPod does the kit work with?

4th generation and newer models (excluding Shuffle) are supported.

Can I install the kit myself?

Yes, the kit is end-user installable with the proper tools. However, we do recommend professional installation.

Will the kit direct my phone call through the car radio?

integration for iPod

No, however the iPhone will pause the music for the duration of the phone call and resume once the call has ended.

What does “made for iPod” logo mean?

The MFi logo can only be used by Apple licensed product developers who certified the product to comply with guidelines set by Apple. Only licensed developers have access to authentic dock connectors that ensure the highest quality connection and longest reliability.

What does the “works with iPhone” logo mean?

The WWi logo is an extention of the MFi program with even tougher certification requirements ensuring interference-free operation with iPhone.

Will the DICE kit support video playback on my navigation screen?

No, our iPod kit can only transfer the audio and information for the audio through your stereo system.

If the vehicle is equipped with factory satellite radio, can it be retained?

Yes, the factory satellite radio can be retained with an additional satellite harness.

My vehicle is equipped with a digital DSP amplifier, is this supported?

Yes, digital DSP amplifiers are supported; however the additional DSP kit (i-BMW-DSP) is required. DSP can be

verified by checking the factory CD Changer connections: if 3-pin and mini coax connectors are present, the DSP kit is required. However, if a 3-pin and 6-pin connectors are available, then DSP most likely will not be needed.

Installation Tips / Check List

When routing the vehicle specific harness to the front of the vehicle, some BMW models have a panel below the glovebox where the DICE module can be stored for easy access.

When installing a DSP kit, you can temporarily attach it to the battery for constant power for testing purposes, but it should NOT be installed this way.

CD changer connections are normally coiled up and hidden well when a CD changer is not present. Please make sure to use the CDC connections and not the wiring harness of the phone system—as they both look the same! Check Connection Diagram above for detailed information.

BMW/Mini Specific Technical Notes

Problem

Why do the radio buttons need to be double-clicked on my early model 3-Series?

Radio/Nav display only shows DISC and Track number, but there is no iPod control.

On earlier models of 3-Series and Z3 (1999-2002) vehicles, double-clicking is required when text is being displayed because the first button press clears the text and the second button press performs the command.

Select DISC 5 and make sure it is set to Track 01. Here you are making sure that iPod mode is selected, and not AUX mode (Track 02)

Problem

Cannot select the interface from the radio.

There is no audio from the iPod source.

Audio is present, but controls from radio/steering wheel do not operate iPod.

The iPod does not charge.

Music is distorted or sound level is too low.

Pressing the next track button only cuts out the audio for a brief second and continues on the same song.

Unit is connected directly to head unit, but is not being detected.

for MOST kit:

Problem

My iPod does not charge or synchronize with the DICE system.

Solution

Make sure dip switches are set correctly according to the dip switch setting diagram. Use CD button to access the DICE unit. Also check connections, making sure power, ground, and wake-up wires are all attached/tapped in properly.

Try resetting the iPod and insure that the iPod cable connections are tightly connected.

The unit may be stuck in Auxiliary mode.Select DISC 5 and set to Track 01. Switch back to DISC 1 and try changing track.

Check all connections. Try resetting the iPod and make sure iPod charges while connected to computer or wall charger.

Make sure all EQ and BASS boost options are turned off on your iPod.

Double-click the next track button or hold the next track button for a little longer and it will skip to the next song.

Make sure the factory CD-Changer (if equipped) is disconnected and by-passed with the fiber-optic cabling.

Solution

Reset the iPod by holding down the Menu button and center button together until the Apple logo appears on screen. New models of iPod may not charge because of altered charging method (4th gen. Nano, 2nd gen. Touch, 3G iPhone).

The navigation screen does not come up with the regular menu, it just stays on the “Mercedes” display and will not operate anything.

Where do the red and black wires need to be attached to?

My navigation system comes on and the sources are operable, however I cannot consistently operate or access the CD-Changer source.

49

This may be because the fiber-optic in and out cables are put in backwards. Just swap the two fiber optic cables in the connector from the DICE kit and the flow of light should be back to normal.

The red wire must be connected to Constant 12V power, and the black wire needs to be attached to a ground source.

Make sure the factory CD-changer is disconnected and the fiber-optic cables that were disconnected from it are connected to our unit properly.

Porsche Specific Technical Notes

Problem Solution

The fiber-optic cables in my 2004 Porsche do not fit the fiber-optic set in the kit, what can I do?

There is few seconds of delay when selecting to browse playlists, artists, albums or genre.

The navigation screen does not come up with the regular menu, it just stays on the “Porsche” display and will not operate.

Where do the red and black wires need to be attached to?

My navigation system comes on and the sources are operable, however I cannot consistently operate or access the CD-changer source.

My iPod does not charge or synchronize with the DICE system.

For 2004 model Porsche vehicles, an additional fiber-optic cable set is required (#800007).

This is normal. Loading content from the iPod to the radio takes some time.

This may be because the fiber-optic in and out cables are put in backwards. Just swap the two fiber optic cables in the connector from the DICE kit and the flow of light should be back to normal.

The red wire must be connected to Constant 12V power, and the black wire needs to be attached to a ground source.

Make sure the factory CD-changer is disconnected and the fiber-optic cables that were disconnected from it are connected to our unit properly.

Reset the iPod by holding down the Medu button and center button together until the Apple logo appears on screen. New models of iPod may not charge because of altered charging method (4th gen. Nano, 2nd gen. Touch, 3G iPhone).

FAQs Before Purchasing the Kit

Toyo ta

Do I lose functionality of any factory-installed devices in my vehicle that were factory installed?

Only an external CD-changer needs to be disabled (mainly 2004 and earlier models), other factory options can be retained because of DICE’s multi-source integration.

What are the different emulation modes for?

The i-Toyota-R kit offers four different modes to be operated in for retaining factory options (the mode options are CD-changer, Mini-DISC, Satellite, and MP3). Depending on the radio in your vehicle, one mode or another will offer TEXT display support.

If my vehicle’s factory radio does not have a TEXT button present, does this mean my radio won’t support text display?

No, it does not. Many late model touch-screen navigation systems in Toyota/Lexus (2005-2009) will have a TEXT button appear on screen to cycle between text fields.

About Dip Switch Settings

The configuration switches located on the DICE module are used to set the operation of the interface by the installer. Incorrect dip switch settings may cause the DICE interface not to work properly or not to operate at all. Disconnect the vehicle harness from module and cycle ignition off for 50 seconds

after changing the switches!

factory SAT is installed and user wishes to retain it. Selected vehicles from 2003 offer CD Text - these radios have a Text button.

OFF

ON

Recommended for

early model year radios with external CD changer. MD Text

is only available on very few radios, typically navigation ones.

ON ON

Recommended for radios if SAT

module is not present or disconnected and an external CD changer is used.

SAT mode is supported by high-end radios in selected models from 2003 in the US only.

OFF

Recommended for

late model Navigation radios only where factory SAT is installed and user

wishes to retain it.

Radios must support MP3 text.

New MP3 navigation cars support only MP3 text not CD Text.

OFF OFF

DefaultDefault

This is best selected when Text display is supported by the radio. After connecting the iPod you will see the DICE logo on the screen. After the initialization the iPod will be locked for an increased interface functionality.

ON ON

This is best selected when Text display is NOT supported by the radio. Track numbers and times are not synchronized between the iPod and radio. Because there is less data transfer between the iPod and radio, this mode has the fastest response time.

* Not all radios support MD mode. If an external MD changer is present, it must be disconnected.

Toyota/Lexus radios are generally secured in with 10mm bolts. For 2004-2009 Lexus RX models, after removing the panel in front of the shifter there will be four (10mm)

bolts that need to be removed for the radio to slide out. Two are easily visible, but the other two are deeper inside at an upwards angle.

Setting up the i-Toyota-R in SAT mode can offer a more intuitive (user-friendly) interface.
