    Thank you; that's helpful. I don't know what the RCA vs. 1/8" on the aux means. And am I understanding correctly that I can use all the iPod controls with the DICE unit?

    RCA cables are those red and white plugs common to stereo/TV systems. 1/8" is a plug like a headphone plug that fits in the iPod.
    Yes, you can use all the iPod controls with the DICE unit.

    Ok, I got signed up for the group buy....glad I made it in. :D

    Does anyone have an update on the video cradle? Earlier Danny said that they weren't available yet for the Prius....does that mean the video cradle is proprietary to the car? Is it something that can be added on after I've received and installed the DICE unit?

    Maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself... :rolleyes:

    I don't think the cradle is proprietary to the car. It can be added on later. It just replaces the cable that connects the DICE box to the iPod.

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that everyone with a backup camera has the high-res screen. Mine certainly seems to fit the descriptions I've read on here. Is it a screen problem or a NAV problem? Has anyone tried it with a non-NAV 2006? I have everything except the NAV, will it work for me? If it's not known, I would be willing to test it, provided DICE will allow me to return the unit if it doesn't work and they are not able to provide a fix.

    Dumb question- but when are these units going to be available? I signed up for this a month ago....
    Perhaps I need to read the fine writing........?

    It isn't that, they aren't ready to ship yet. I don't know if they're still working out the bugs or still gearing up to manufacture them.

    Okay thanks for the info. I remember a date back in May so I thought I might have been forgotten.

    Thanks again

    Well, they're still beta testing.. apparently with no firm shipping date given. I'm not sure how long this testing will last.

    Since they are not shipping yet, can the event end date be extended. I would really like to signup for the group buy.

    Thanks

    XM Radio?? I don't want ths for the Idod, but to connect the Terk XMDirect to the system. I know it says it will handle sat radio thorugh the aux plug, but was that audio only? Will this work with the Terk and give me XM Radio text on the MDF? If so, it will cost me half the price of the Vais SLX. Thanks!

    Hi everyone. Sorry for not updating this thread lately. I've been waiting to hear back from the DICE folks as to the results of the beta units. Here is a message I received from them - have we had a 2006 owner have the problems they are describing?

    "Here’s the only issue I see to date. Apparently the 2006 Prius has a slightly different head unit that doesn’t allow the text to display. I realize many of the people participating in the group buy will like have the 2006 model. If you think the masses would be okay with a kit with no text display for the 2006 then I could have the order ready by this Friday at the latest. What we desperately need is someone who could bring their 2006 into our shop so the techs can actually plug it into the computer and work with the code. Do you happen to know anyone in the southern California area who fits the bill? Any input from you at this point would be greatly appreciated."

    PS - I've re-opened the RSVP for more reservations. Once the 2006 issue is dealt with, I'll open up ordering.
