    both down = iPod mode

    Do you have embedded album art in your music tags? I'm still trying to figure out why the ice-link and now possibly the new unit disconnect.

    Sorry for the repost but didn't get a reply to this one on a previous page:

    I'm still confused on the Random and Repeat buttons. Are they active on the unit being sold now through this buy?

    If not, are there plans to make those buttons active? If so, will there be a way to update the firmware once the unit is installed.

    I know these issues have been discussed but I don't remember a final-final word on these.

    Thanks,

    --Matt

    I spoke with one buyer who reported the DiscRand and Rand work. I didn't ask specifically about the RPT. Could someone please confirm this?

    My understanding is that the firmware will not be able to be updated by the user.

    Donno, I'm on vacation for the past week or so :eek:

    I get back to socal on friday, then it's a heavy night of birthday drinking with a girlfriend - hopefully I'll be able to catch up to my life on saturday.

    I did give my car a goodbye gift - a wash and oil change. I'm sure my mates have been enjoying my lack of being around as well as cheep gas for the past week. If they broke the 10,000 mile marker, I'ma gonna be annoyed.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(LurkAzusa @ Jun 21 2006, 04:59 PM) [snapback]274951[/snapback]</div>

    Well let me tell you what I do know, before I left. They were going to get all that stuff working before they started shipping.

    So, delivery is still up in the air, or has anyone received one ordered from PriusChat yet?...

    The 04-05 units are being shipped to me from Dension and then I'll be shipping them out once I receive them (UPS says they'll be here tomorrow). This method was able to keep the price down, but there is the obvious drawback of a lag in shipping.

    Tell me about it. I live about 100 miles from Dension, but the DICE will have to cross the country twice to get to me. :blink:

    Ah well, since I don't own an iPod yet, it's not that bad. And besides, patience and Prius seem to go together. :)

    You can set mine near the garbage can if you want. If it's after noon on Friday, wait until Monday to drop it off...

    Hey Danny. I have tried to contact you a couple of ways regarding my order. It looks like the system has my State listed as "Alabama" for shipping. Can you make sure it changes to "California" before you ship?

    Let me know how to contact you if you cannot track my order through my user name listed here.

    Thanks.

    I left my 06 yesterday with DICE for the week as I am going on vacation....so hopefully they'll get everything to fully function with all the time they have with the car.


    They had my car for a day last week and got the unit installed, but the display didn't show the text......

    It does not work on the beta version. Did they fix it in the latest firmware? How do I get my firmware updated?

    Danny -

    I'm unclear as to how we receive and pay for the DICE units once they're available. Will someone be contacting each person signed up on the list to obtain shipping address and payment method? Or will there be a number posted, and each of us has to initiate the transaction? Is it possible for you to post this information on your original notice of the group buy so the information is readily available -- in case someone hasn't had time to log into the group and misses postings from a number of days?

    Thanks.

    I'm curious how long it takes to receive the unit from the prius accessesory shop.
    I ordered on the 17th and still don't have it. I checked "My Account" over at the Prius shop but there is not any tracking going on.Called Denison and they referred me to speak to Danny over here. Guess I'll PM you Danny!

    ps.....
    Does anyone know a good Mounting system for the Ipod and a bicycle?
    I found this one....

    Good point. I was wondering if there'll be any sort of notification for all the other people who signed up. I'm not sure if they check this thread regularly and there seems to be quite a number of people signed up as "interested"
