I have the Dice, keep the ipod in the rear CD cubby and control via steering wheel, no need to ever touch the ipod. Dice allows you to control the ipod from the ipod or via dash, you set the jumper switches to your desired preference. The dash function works great but I do scroll slower to avoid lock up between the ipod and Dice box. Slower scrolling is about 1-2 seconds rather than rapid firing 15 clicks in a row. Not a bad compromise at all. The sound is CD quality. Many Aux inputs are barely better than radio quality like my Saab 9-3- I rate it as poor. I have not yet created playlists so can't comment on the Dice in that regard..
