BUT here's what I found... the DSP amplifier HAS A COAX terminal on it - although nothing is attached... does this mean I need a Digital DSP adapter even if I have the 6 pin plug?

It's likely you have a Digital DSP setup, requiring the adapter. Here's the item you need:

DSP Kit for DICE iPod Integration Kits

This will likely be the missing link to get your audio back.

How I have to get a hex-key set.

Hey Shakiss... do you have a CD-changer in your trunk?

That's not true - some Digital DSP setups have all 3 connections.

Do you also see a coaxial cable coming from your amp?

No, the coax jack on the DSP amp has nothing connected to it, yet I have DSP on the radio and head CD.

If there was a coax cable attached, where would it have gone to? the head unit?

It would go to the CD Changer if equipped.

SO do you think the DSP kit will solve my problems?

How much is shipping to Toronto, Canada? postal code: M5S 1A8.
Can I return it if it doesn't work?

You can reply via email if you prefer. I'll PM you my email address.

The kit can be returned within 30 days if not needed, shipping can be determined on the website as soon as your info is entered.

Mine did not have a CD changer in it. I doubt that the cable in back of the radio is unplugged on mine - BSW sold me an XM radio kit with a blitzsafe as well as the Dice module. The XM radio works great - I get great sound with it and the XM works with the radio and steering wheel controls. I have a feeling that there may be a bad cable between the blitsafe and the Dice? My DSP unit does not have the coax cable coming out of it, but I do see a coax "female" connector on the upper surface of the DSP unit. So, does this mean that I also need a DSP adapter?

Sirius (which is what the XM Direct is emulating) has nothing to do with DSP. As a test, you can try removing the SLD01 interface and plugging the DICE in directly to see if audio is achieved.

I did try that - and I still have no audio. When I plugged the Dice in directly (when I removed the XM and blitzsafe), I had the same situation - scrolling text on the radio, but no audio.

You've just confirmed a Digital DSP setup. You'll need the DSP adapter.
