As far as the battery cables being disconnected, I don't think I did. I don't remember that in the instuctions.

You're in CD5 (Source Selector mode), press CD1 to get back into song browsing mode and for text to appear.

I have a similar issue. The song title is coming up on my dash but it's not appearing on my navigation unit. I've followed a number of different threads on this. I'm on disc 1 and id just says CDC 1 with no titles. If I switch to track 2 on Disc 6 I lose the text on the dash and all it says it *Dice* on the left side and then TRC 1. No song titles on the nav screen. Any suggestions?

You can have the text appear either on the MID or NAV, but not both at the same time.

How do I get it to appear on the Nav? Is it a track on Disc 6 because I've never had it appear on the screen.

DISC6/TRACK6 will get text on your NAV screen.

I've got a Silverline kit (not Pro) which I upgraded from the original DICE kit. Now it won't charge with the Iphone 3GS so it looks like I've either got to purchase a new cable or a new Silverline kit.
I notice the Silverline Pro has a new SMART mode which appears to allow browsing on the Iphone and via the radio/steering wheel controls. Currently I can access the IPhone menu and other applications but not the Ipod functionality.
Once the Iphone is plugged in, does it allow control from both at once or do you have to switch between the two?

In smart mode, the iPhone is fully unlocked.

So I don't have to do anything on the iphone to enable it? Will I still have full control from the radio/steering wheel?

Any iPhone can be used - it is not "married" to the system. All control can be through the iPhoner touchscreen or steering wheel controls.

Ok, so it can be done with the iphone OR steering wheel. The instructions you posted for the SMART mode suggest this can't be done at the same time - it is one or the other depending on whether the 'hold' button is selected on the Ipod before plugging into the DICE. The Iphone doesn't have a hold button, so how does its operation differ?

If I buy a new kit, is it just the DICE unit and the cable to the Ipod/Iphone that need replacing ? i.e I can leave the CD changer -> DICE unit cable in-situ ?
