DICE unit in 2007 Prius #3 (bluetooth no Nav) ARGH

[OlsonBW]

I've got a 2007 Prius with package #3 (yes bluetooth - no nav).

I bought a DICE unit direct from company and received it two weeks ago.

1) I absolutely can NOT get the conneector to snap-in in the behind the radio. No big deal execpt that it is loose enough to pop out at the first bump.

2) I get absolutely no text no matter what seting I put it in. Yes I have controls. No text. Half of what I wanted this for was text. My switches are set to UP- down-UP-UP.

Note that I don't see any CD buttons. No anything in the middle of the screen at all. Up above I see CD Change 2, NO CD number, I do see the track number.

Note 2: All the controls appear to work. Hitting the up < and down > change to next/previous songs. Holding it in until it beeps and then next album or something.

So the only thing I'm missing is that I can't get the connect to snap in tight in the back of the radio and I'm getting no text of any kind.

I received the unit two weeks ago (finally found the bolt to pull out the "big white box" and it is supposed to be the latest update for '07 Prii.

I took a look at the fuse box, but I couldn't tell which fuse was for the radio. I looked on the back of the plastic cover but I must be dense as I couldn't tell which fuse I needed to pull.

In the main engine compartment fuse block, it's the fourth one up from the bottom, I think it's marked "dome".[/b]

I have no idea if this is the problem I've having with not seeing any text. I saw this post. What else should be not working if I blew the dome fuse? Should the dome light not be working? It is on my car.

Try putting the dip switch in MP3 position or Sat position. Try: Down UP ; UP UP

Hi, sorry I missed this thread. Did you verifty it was in MP3 mode? If it doesn't work, how about SAT mode?

If neither of these things worked, I'd like to exchange the unit. You can leave the cable attached, I would only want the box.

Yes I tried the other options (SAT, MP3, and CD) with the car off and the DICE unit unplugged from the cable going into the back of the radio and also from the iPod. After changing the settings I waited 10 seconds then plugged everything back in and turned the car on and ... at best (everything up) I get great sound but no disc number or anything in the middle of the screen.

We talked on on the phone about a week and a half ago. You mentioned something about being able to send me a new unit and then me sending my current one back to you when it arrived. Just let me know what I need to do.

Ah, sorry. My memory is horrid. All I'm going to need you to do is to PM me with your personal information and I'll create a RMA in the morning, then I'll give you a link that will guide you through the rest of the exchange. I'd like to ask that you put Attn: Nick in the return packaging as well.

I got it, and I replied with the info. I forgot to add that you're not going to get charged for anything, we only take CC info in case the customer fails to send in the old unit. Can you write on the return box or on a piece of paper inside saying Attn: Nick please?

"Can you write on the return box or on a piece of paper inside saying Attn: Nick please?"

Absolutely. Sorry about not answering before. You answered all my questions (and quickly) so I didn't think to check back before now.
