6. Reboot iPod by pressing on MENU and CENTER buttons for +5 seconds and then reconnecting to the DICE cable after the reboot process is completed.
Let me know if these steps correct the problem.

I tried this last night (based on one of your previous posts) and I attempted this again after receiving your message. However, I still get the same results. DICE support recommended trying to use Text Display 6 (Nav) for some reason so I tried that as well. One thing interesting is that when the radio switches to FM and then I switch back to CD changer, the radio says CHECK CD and I cannot select any of the disk numbers. Then the radio gives up and I can no longer here the music after it clicks a bit.
You think maybe because I have an older car and a newer DICE unit, this is causing compatibility issues?
