Unless you have the XM button on your headunit (I don't think 03 Pilots do) you're not going to have text. But your steering wheel controls will work just fine.

Yesterday I spent some time experimenting with the Wiki software as a demo for my company but since the DICE store is acting funny in regards to compatibility I'll link to what I did. This is a chart for all Honda cars and here is one for all Acura cars.
After you find the right kit for your car, you can use these links to take you directly to the correct item:
i-Honda-R3 and i-Honda-R4
i-Honda-R2

Nick,
I obtained an IceLink Plus Honda R2 interface from my friend, and it is not working properly on my 2003 Acura MDX w/ navigation (no DVD entertainment system).
All the wiring connectors fit, the Dension UI shows up on my Video Ipod (Gen 5.5), but the radio will not control the Dension UI. The radio displays a flashing number 1 (where the CD number is usually displayed), like it is trying to load CD1. Sound works perfectly if I start playing the song before plugging the Ipod in, but the radio controls never work. I was also able to load the latest firmware (2.17) into the IceLink but that didn't solve the problem.
Have you seen this problem before? Is the hardware on the Dice Honda R2 any better than the IceLink, or will I have the exact same problem if I purchase the Dice?
Also, I was wondering if I could buy the Dice AUX Ipod integration kit, and reuse the wiring connectors from the IceLink. From the pictures, the connectors look exactly the same. Thanks for your help.

The IceLink was junk for Honda - most kits never worked. The hardware and software is completely different, they're not related at all. If you get the AUX kit you'll have to swap the cable to the back of the radio. Keep in mind that you won't have radio control but it will charge the iPod.
If you get the i-Honda-R2 kit (the DICE version) it will work correctly and it will use the same cable as what's plugged in right now. You won't have text, but you will have headunit/steering wheel controls.

Yes, no problem. You'll see full text - you don't need Navi to use either product. I would recommend you use our kit in SAT mode so you have text display, it's alot easier using HD Radio with it.

You can keep your XM, but you'll lose text display from the iPod/HD kit only. If you remove your XM, you can have text from the iPod/HD kit.
