    i saw this a little too late. the HD DICE doesnt' show up on the list here:
    http://priuschat.com/shop/index.php/cPath/1

    i ended up ordering the standard ipod one by mistake. guess i need to reorder and hope they'll take the ipod one back. :(

    (and you might want to take down the rebate offer as it expired a couple of months ago)

    Save your bucks, its not worth it. Its cumbersome to use and the receiver is not that sensitive. I have another HD radio in the house and can receive this AM station in HD, I drive by the transmitter and the DICE unit in the car will not go into HD mode. I am definitely not happy with this unit.

    Haven't posted here in a while. I was waiting for PriusChat to add the HD/iPod unit to the Store.

    That link brings me to "Product not found." Did I miss the boat on this one?

    I've noticed that the Priuschat shop and Costco have both stopped carrying the HD DICE. In fact, Costco does not offer either DICE anymore. Is DICE on its way out or is there an imminent update coming?

    Costco is still offering DICE. We'll be doing a store rollout. Right now a few of them have our desktop HD radios already.

    Cool. So, they will actually be available in-store? Probably just the desktop radio will be in-store, right? Their website shows the iPod car kit but says they are not available. They used to be...

    do not know. I'm assuming they went out. The desktop radio's are for sure going to be carried in store.

    Hey Ken,

    I've been seeking the same info re: the iPod interface, have you had any luck finding out? I saw that Coastal Tech has an XM radio for GM that has FULL iPod functionality, not for toyota yet though.

    keep me posted, and I'll do the same if you like,

    alex

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Vagabond @ Oct 16 2007, 01:28 PM) [snapback]526462[/snapback]</div>

    so, Vagabond any word on whether the iPod i/face is any different/better w/ the HD radio/iPod set up than w/ the iPod only connector???

    thanks,

    alex

    Huh? I'm not following your question. Are you asking if the HD kit with iPod is better than the iPod kit by itself?

    Yes. Any functional difference to the iPod interface on those?

    No, none. As far as the iPod is concerned, it's the same product. Why would there be?
