craaaaaaaaaaap...............
hmmmmmmm
I just bought it through the latest group buy that just started on June 16th! So........I think the "unit" said "Dice" on it!.....

The new DICE system includes an AUX Audio Input (for those of you without a 2006+), and has 3 different modes:

What exactly can I do with the Aux Audio Input?.....I have an '05 Prius!

I think you have the new DICE unit then.

I believe the new DICE unit has additional AUX input. That way you can play audio from non-ipod mp3 players.

Right, or you can use it for a portable satellite radio.

When I get mine I plan to leave it in the lower glove box. I've got the cable routed in there now.

I receive my DICE unit. I attempted to install it on Saturday.

Before I put the dash back together, I thought it wise to test it. When I powered up the car with the DICE unit plugged (the iPod was not yet plugged it). The MFD acted strange.

The outside temp was not displayed and the battery state of charge was blank (no bars). I initially thought I must have accidently disconnected something, but that was not the case.

When I have the unit unplugged (either from the back of the radio or disconnect the interface cable from the DISC black box, all returns to normal.

It looks like I have a defective unit.

Do I get it replace by going directly to DICE or via Danny?

I think you started the car in ACC. mode. In ACC. mode, you press Power once without pressing brake, you will see the exact same thing you described. Not caused by DICE and it's normal.

Thanks for that reply, ScottY, that's good to know.

You probably disconnected the wire assembly on the left which routes the player and the display infromation into the Prius. I know from experience......

When the DICE is disconnect, everything works as expected. I also had the car in "ready" mode.

I have installed the DICE unit following the VAIS instructions (with some help from the DICE ones as well) and am confused as to how it is supposed to register success. I have a 3g iPod (so maybe this is the problem) but so far my iPod is not being charged and I can't access any songs on it through the menu of the prius--any recommendations?
