3. Touch both battery cables together (away from battery terminals) for 5 seconds.
4. Leave battery cables removed for 5-7 minutes.
5. Reconnect battery cables, negative last.
6. Reboot iPod (extra step) by pressing on CENTER and MENU buttons together for +5 seconds.
7. Connect iPod to DICE kit after reboot process is completed. This will give me text on my nav screen as well as control of my iPod.

Does this all seem correct?

One additional question: Since the current cable being shipped w/ the dice does not enable iPod charging, when the new cable is available, and I purchase it, can I just swap out cables or will I need to go through this whole battery disconnect/reconnect/initialization process again?

Thanks for your help.

Leave the DICE connected (with iPod disconnected) during the cycling of the power. You will need to program text as soon as the battery cables are reattached.
