Also I am not able to use the steering wheel remote and the ipod together, I only get one at a time. When I first start up my truck the ipod is locked and will only switch through the steering wheel control. Once unlocked I can only use the ipod controls.

This is normal operation with the new Generation iPods. The touch, new Classic and 3rd Generation nano lock the iPod's Clickwheel when attached to 3rd party devices, this is an iPod-specific issue - not the DICE.

Earlier iPods do not experience this issue. All DICE-specific features are still available. If Clickwheel operation is desired, you can set the DICE module's DIP switches to Simple iPod mode to gain access of the Clickwheel, but will lose text display on the radio when doing so.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
