On an 06 Accord v6 with XM radio, is it true that you can buy a splitter and still be able to use the XM function and the DICE? I remember reading people using this for spec-usa devices. Does it work the same for DICE?
What’s the deal with losing Text is you have XM radio?
How gaudy is the antenna sitting in the window. Will horizontal installation really not work well? Pictures anyone?
Is there a manual for the Honda's out yet? If so where can we download this at?
Why is it sad that only SAT text can be displayed? What’s the differences, advantages / disadvantages?
Hopefully someone can clear up some of these questions.
Yes, there's a splitter. The R3 kit does not have it, and the R4 does have the Y included.
Honda only added text input from the XM source. So if we want to send text, we have to use it in XM mode and pretend that the DICE kit is a XM kit. The car can only handle one XM kit at a time.
It's not very gaudy if you take your time with the install. Horizontal will work, but not as well as vertical. Radio waves travel in an Up/Down range.
Manual? For what exactly?
There are no differences between SAT mode and CD mode other than text is working in SAT mode. It functions exactly the same either way.
