Ijust purchased the R3 Dice unit for my 07 Civic Coupe (w/o Nav) to use with my Gen 5 iPod (just purchased). I have also used this unit with my Gen 4 iPod. I have the same problem with both units. Sometimes the Honda stereo doesn't recognize the iPod, which I can get around if I restart the car, and the steering wheel controls don't always control the iPod. Also I don't always get the 'time elapsed' displayed in the text display of the Honda stereo. Both my iPods and the Honda stereo work fine otherwise.
Any ideas?
