Does the kit come complete with all cables, i.e cable required from the CD changer socket to the module and cable from the module to the Ipod? What is the length of the cable from the Module to the Ipod?

Thanks again

Steve

The DICE comes with everything you need - the trunk harness is 12 feet, add another 3 feet from the iPod docking cable for a total of 15 feet.

Tom - installed the DICE this weekend that I purchased from EAS and have a question - sometimes instead of getting the song title, I have gotten "PAUSED" or "INIT" or "CHAPTER" while the iPod is playing. Any ideas??

I'll need to know your what Generation iPod you have and it's firmware. Procedures can be found on our support page:

I have a 4G Nano with I am pretty sure Version 1.1.1, but I will confirm.

4G Nano with Version 2.1 software, using it on a non-DSP system with Business CD. When I first installed I was getting song titles but now I am getting commands - INIT, PAUSE, CHAPTER, STOP, etc. - this all while music is playing.

Sounds like you are on CD #4 (Audiobooks) and trying to control. Press CD #1 and try the steering wheel commands to see if the same commands appear.

This is on CD#6, Track #4. I went to CD#1 and see no titles - steering wheel controls move from song to song on iPod.

Is the ignition on when testing? If not, no text is displayed.
