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 ?

In smart mode, if the iPod is left unlocked - full control us avaialble via the touchscreen/clickwheel or steering wheel controls. Lock the iPod and control is available through the steering wheel only.

The CD Changer cannot be retained with the DICE kit. Keep in mind you will still have CD playing capabilities with your in-dash unit.
