First: the coax from the DICE DSP adapter goes straight into the DSP amplifier and not to the radiomodule? That's how I understand it.

Secondly: everything is working, but no sound. I can control the Ipod through the steering wheel controls and Ipod text is running in the cluster display.

In my trouble shooting I have found out that the DSP Dice board is not getting 12V across the + and - terminals. At the end of the power adapter I get 12.xx volts. Is this right?

Lastly: I have 16:9 nav but the BM23 probably cannot display the text messages on the nav display, it's not scrolling right... Do you know if the BM23 supports nav text scrolling.

TIA for your response.

Regards,

Adwo
Adwo,

The BM23 (a radio we do not have in the US) does not support NAV display, it will overwrite other text on the screen. I would recommend moving up to a new BM53/54 tuner or having the text display on the OBC by pressing the CD6/TRACK3 command.

As per the DSP part of your question, you're correct - it will plug directly into the DSP amp in the boot area. Try connecting the DICE directly to the battery for testing purposes, then relocate as soon as you are verified up and running.
