Anyone tried this?
Has anyone actually purchased the HD Dice?
How well does it work?
How does it sound?
Does that tiny antenna actually work?
Has anyone tried using the stock antenna?
How does it pick up non-HD stations?
I read tuner sensitivity has been a problem with HD Radios.
Has anyone interfaced it with a carputer?
Does anyone have photos of an Accord install?
Thanks!

I have an 07 Civic EX sedan, do I have the text display? I've seen one website say on the SI has the text display. I cant decide between this HD unit and just the iPod connection. Will the iPod cable ($150) provide text output as well? And do I need a kit or harness and is it easy to connect?

The regular old iPod kit will display text, it's not exclusive to the HD kits. You either need the iPod kit or the HD kit w/ the iPod cable. It's not too hard to install in that car if you don't have navigation. If you do have navi, it's going to take you a little longer but still not difficult.

Hi Nick,
I have a 2007 Odyssey EX-L without NAV, and no XM installed, and am interested in one of your kits, but I have a few questions:
1. I have read elsewhere that there are problems with the DICE iPod unit registering as a CD changer when the car is started, and that people have had to re-start their cars to get it to register. Do you acknowledge that there was or is a problem?
2. Has the above problem been fixed?
3. Did/does the problem affect the unit if it's in SAT mode?
4. I am mainly interested in iPod integration. If I buy the HD unit and the iPod cable, does the iPod functionality work exactly the same as it would with just the iPod kit?
5. If I go through your vehicle selector, it doesn't offer the HD kit, but if I simply select Honda from the left menu under HD DICE, it's there. This *will* work, right?
6. If I select the HD DICE for Honda, under accessories it comes up with a cradle and a video cable. Neither of these has the dock connecter. Where is the iPod adapter cable??
7. Do you have any pictures of the HD antenna installed?
8. You give a price (elsewhere in this thread) of $70 for the install card, whereas your online store wants to charge $90. Has the price gone up, or is one of those wrong?
9. Can I see the list of installers near 02474 before buying the card?
10. How big are the units?
11. You list a restriction on 3G iPods -- what does it mean that it "Does not support Albums/Chapters. FF/RW Does not work from radio."
Sorry for the long list, but thanks for any answers you can provide.

Hello!
1. I have read elsewhere that there are problems with the DICE iPod unit registering as a CD changer when the car is started, and that people have had to re-start their cars to get it to register. Do you acknowledge that there was or is a problem?
2. Has the above problem been fixed?
3. Did/does the problem affect the unit if it's in SAT mode?
It was an issue in all modes, but we took care of it a few days ago. A very small portion of people were having issues.
4. I am mainly interested in iPod integration. If I buy the HD unit and the iPod cable, does the iPod functionality work exactly the same as it would with just the iPod kit?
Yup.
5. If I go through your vehicle selector, it doesn't offer the HD kit, but if I simply select Honda from the left menu under HD DICE, it's there. This *will* work, right?
Also a Yup.
6. If I select the HD DICE for Honda, under accessories it comes up with a cradle and a video cable. Neither of these has the dock connecter. Where is the iPod adapter cable??
It's a pull down on the bottom of one of the pages. It will ask about iPod's.
7. Do you have any pictures of the HD antenna installed?
In an Odyssey? I don't think so. I'll dig around.
8. You give a price (elsewhere in this thread) of $70 for the install card, whereas your online store wants to charge $90. Has the price gone up, or is one of those wrong?
I'll have to check in on that after this week. The SEMA show is happening this week and business pretty much stops in this industry because of it.
9. Can I see the list of installers near 02474 before buying the card?
Sorry, I can't even see it myself. The company who manages the network doesn't give that sort of info out, which makes good business sense for them. Not so much for everyone else.
10. How big are the units?
About the size of a child's shoe box for the HD. An iPod kit is about the size of a deck of cards, squared.
11. You list a restriction on 3G iPods -- what does it mean that it "Does not support Albums/Chapters. FF/RW Does not work from radio."
3rd Gen iPod's do not have the capability to do such things remotely. 4th gen's and above are much more powerful. It also will not start by itself when you switch to it, and it may not stop correctly when you stop the car.
