    Model:
    N/A
    Setup :
    Toyota Prius 2006 (Australia)
    Single CD player (text), no SAT/Aux
    DICE Mediabridge MB-1000-Toyota
    iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 2G, USB drive, Aux cable

    I don't get any sound in any mode, except with the auxiliary cable.

    Tried all jumper settings :

    SAT mode (down/down) :
    - no connection

    CDC mode (up/up) :
    - ipod accessories connected
    - no sound
    - MFD says CD changer, with 6 CD's
    - display counter starts immediately, playing a 'ghost' song
    - press CD1 then TITLE will give title and track info as VOL, CD2 as BASS, CD3 as MID, CD3 as TREBLE, CD5 and CD6 as nothing
    - pressing seek/track button advances the 'invisible' tracks, and I can hear the sound of the drive motor of CD player moving

    MP3 mode (up/down) :
    - ipod accessories connected
    - no sound
    - MFD says single CD player

    MD mode (down/up) :
    - ipod accessories connected
    - no sound
    - MFD says MD Changer for 6 MD's
    - the rest is as in CDC mode

    I have no luck with mp3 in USB thumb drive too.

    Any ideas what am I not doing right ?

    Best regards.

    Maybe you have a bad Dice unit or a bad cable? Have you called Dice tech support?

    I have emailed Customer Support. Just waiting for a reply. I have taken some photos if they can be of any help.

    Surprisingly, it worked today. Set it to MD emulation mode. Once iPhone indicates that it was connected, I did a successive radio button press beginning with Power then CD, followed by Seek/Track. Managed to get sound and track information from then on. Apparently, all these steps must be done within seconds (5 seconds according to the manual). Glad that $250 spent was not a waste.

    What are the advantages of the Media Bridge over the regular ipod adapter?
