Just "AC/DC" or "Shake a"??
Hope the Intravee will do a better job and show more info or artwork on this big empty screen.

No kit will show album art without a video converter.

We are using the top field for text, which scrolls the song title, artist and album title. I'm not sure what additional information you are looking for.

[Eric Le Baron]

Song title, artist, album information, genre, rating, total time, actual time, size, next song.
Isn't the large black square available for text?

You are asking for a lot of options that even the stock system does not allow for. The square is another field that is specific for text - but is not used on the DICE (and ice>Link) since the fields are very short in length.

I'd not really call them very short

This is displaying information (song title, Artist and Album) the DICE already displays, just in a different format.

Ya, whats up with that big black area not being used - even in my Nav when in the radio is on [split screen]? You would think the map would be put into there.

Any case, when looking for a iPod add on I would want the text in the larger black area then at the top. If not I'll just pass on it.

The DICE does not write text in this area, the scrolling text on the top line aloows for a large font that's easy to see while driving and makes the best use of the specific field that's available.

It's an Intravee with KCA-420i Alpine iPod interface.

Yes, just the standard output of the Intravee on a Nav screen.

I'm a tester, you can contact Simon through the 'Contact Us' option on the Intravee web site www.intravention.co.uk Ideally add any computer experience you have and type of vehicle, age of vehicle, type of head unit and geographic location.
