Attention installer! Please read the following!

DICE strongly recommends that the unit be installed in an easily accessible place!
DO NOT PLACE IT BEHIND THE RADIO AND DO NOT HIDE UNDER CARPET!

Whether the unit is professionally or self installed, put the module where you, the end user can get to it easily
in the future. (Have the installer show you where the interface module is installed.)

Installing the module behind the radio will make it difcult to:

-Add possible future upgrades, changing software, adding new features, improving operation;

-Access the AUX input on the module to attach any audio device;

-Access the DIP switches located on the module;

-Remove the unit in case of failure.

MAKE SURE THAT THE MODULE IS IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE!

Internet Radio Application support (iPhone/iPod touch)

This kit includes support for internet radio streaming apps available on
the iTunes® Store. Thousands of stations can be streamed through data
connections. Supported apps include Livio Car Internet Radio, Pandora,
iHeart Radio and more. Supported features such as text display on screen,
and next/previous track functions will vary by app.

To learn more about each app specically, please visit the website for the
app you need information about.

Data connection requirements (3G/4G/WiFi)

Users must have an active wireless data connection in order to stream music from an app while in the car. Data
connections including “3G” or “4G” through wireless carriers, or a third party wireless Internet access point
connected to your mobile device through WiFi will work. Because this app requires a data connection, it will only
work on connected devices such as the iPhone and iPod touch.

Controlling Internet Radio Apps

NOTE: The following features may not be supported by all apps. For
demonstration purposes the following examples will show the features
for the Livio Car Internet Radio app.

The app must be active on the screen of the device. To do so, simply tap
the app’s icon and it will load.

Next/previous TRACK buttons execute application specic features
such as skipping stream or cycling between station presets. DISC/
PRESET (1-6) buttons are associated with station presets when used
with the Livio Car Internet Radio application.

iPhone operating system iOS5 enabled application developers to share
the “now playing” screen information. For example, when using the
Pandora App, you will see artist, album and song information on the
radio’s screen. When using an application that doesn’t implement this
feature, or running iOS4, only the name of the application will be shown.

Please note that although iOS 4 (4.2.1) is supported on iPhone 3G and
iTouch 2nd generation, applications do not run in the background. As
such, loading the app takes longer than on devices where the app is
present in the background.

25

26

If your listening experience is interrupted by a call, under most conditions, the app will resume playback at the
end of the call.

Music playback apps running on your iPhone are sent to background automatically when the home button of
the phone is pressed, but the music playback itself is not stopped.

To resume playback of your iPod music library, stop Livio playback by tapping on the screen below the Livio
Radio logo. An icon representing “stop” will show on the main Livio screen. Press the home button to send
the application to the background. (Other apps may need to be terminated manually. Please see next page.)

A few seconds after this, the iPod music playback application will reinitialize itself and become active again if
the iPod was locked when it was connected to the kit. (This is indicated by an Accessory Connected message
being shown when the iPod icon is tapped.)

If the iPod was in unlocked state when it was connected to the kit, press the play button on the iPod application.

Text display from the Internet Radio App

Text that scrolls across the radio’s screen is associated with the stream shown on the radio and displays current
song or station information. Stream must be playing before information on the display is updated.

27

Terminate (kill) the App

If you need to terminate (kill) the app please follow the steps below:

1. Double-tap on the home button of the iPhone to bring up the list of running apps. If you don’t see the app’s
icon right away, swipe the screen left or right to locate it. Note: If you do not see such task bar but rather a
music control popup then you have an iOS device that does not support background run of apps, therefore
this section is not applicable to you.

2. Press and hold the icon of the app until a red minus icon shows.

3. Tap the red minus icon shown on top of the app.

4. This will close the app.

5. In a few seconds, the iPod music playback app should reinitialize itself and become active again. This can
be veried by going back to the list of running apps and swiping the screen unit the music control section is
shown. The iPod app icon next to the music control sections shows that iPod is your audio source.

Internet Radio App Settings

Many radio stations offer lower bitrates. Selecting streams with a lower bitrate will reduce data usage and
may reduce stream interruptions during the drive. For example with the Livio Car Internet Radio app, to adjust
bitrates manually, users can: Go to the Setting menu of the device, select the Livio Radio settings the change
the Maximum Bitrate Filter and set it to 64K. Other settings such as Buffer time and Reliability lter may also
help in getting a more stable connection.

28

Auxiliary audio source (only with optional AUX connector)

The DUO AUX cable (ACC-106-AUX) can be used to connect an auxiliary device, such as an MP3 player,
DVD player or other audio source.

The auxiliary audio source can be accessed in both CDC and SAT emulation modes.

To access AUX audio source:

- Plug the mini DIN connector of the AUX adapter cable into the SIRIUS receptacle and connect the 1/8” mini
stereo jack to the sound output of your audio device.

- Enter AUX mode (see pg. 15).

- All music playback is controlled through your audio device.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

Radio/NAV display only shows DISC
and track number and there is no iPod
control.

No text display on radio.

Radio/steering wheel controls do not
operate iPod.

31

Make sure DIP switch settings are correctly set for text display (refer to page
8 for DIP switch settings).

Make sure DIP switch settings are correctly set for text display (refer to page
8 for DIP switch settings).

Reset iPod and make sure most recent iPod rmware is installed.

Music is distorted or sound level is too
low with iPod connected.

No audio from iPod source.

Make sure all EQ and BASS boost options are turned off on your iPod.
Adjustments to the gain setting may be required (refer to page 19).

Reset the iPod. Verify proper connection to iPod/interface. Check for
compatibility. Older iPod models don’t support USB audio.

32

Problem Solution

Sirius tuner can’t be selected.

Ensure the cable connecting SIRIUS tuner is securely connected to the
correct receptacle.

Why does the radio display show
“EMPTY/STOP” and no music plays?

Cannot select the interface.

Radio/ steering wheel controls do not
operate iPod.

Why does category read
“PRESELCTD”?

The iPod has reached the end of a playlist. Please select a new Playlist.

Verify that the correct button is used to access the interface (RADIO/SAT).

Reset iPod and make sure the most recent iPod rmware is installed. Check
vehicle user manual on how steering wheel controls work, long presses may
toggle alternate function.

Playback of content selected on the iPod before it is connected to the
interface continues until new content is selected.

Problem Solution

Why does the message “iPod
UNLOCKED” display on screen?

The radio displays channel 99 (”CH99”).
Track up/down controls do not work.

33

When the Silverline DUO is playing iPod music in UNLOCKED mode,
browsing mode information isn’t available so the “iPod UNLOCKED”
notication is shown. To view information associated with browsing modes,
ensure the iPod’s hold button is set before connecting it to Silverline DUO.

Track 99 indicates that the Silverline DUO is in auxiliary audio (AUX) mode.
