Should i have the DIP off off and off off or should i have it on off and off off. I have the 01 w/ tape deck. In the manual (page 9) it states that the early models w/ tape deck should be on off (car) off off (ipod). I had this way awhile back then you told me to have them all off
thanks

My text scrolling usually comes back after the unit has been in operation a while, sometimes after I change playlists as well.

It does not bug my wife but bugs the hell out of me. I am a person if i buy something i want it to work they way it is stated to work. I just wanted to see if Tom had any info that i missed but i have done everything that was stated in the set up.

You should call DICE and let them know. 1.888.342.3999 ext 114 was Adam that i have been talking to since Aug. Really nice guy and you should just let him know that it is happening. The more people call about this issue then maybe they will move faster. I called yesterday and he took my name down and said he was going to talk to the techs and tell me when they will have in upgrade ready.

I have them all up (off) but wanted to double check w/ u. Just on page 9 it states:
CAR configuration switches:

dip switch 1 dip switch 2 (off and off)

Recommended for late model Businees This setting is to be used on
CD and Navigation radio systems

dip switch 1 dip switch 2 (on and off)

early model Business Cd and Business cassette units

I have the Business cassette unit so that i why i wanted to ask you if i had them right, all up (all off). I just do not know what years are early when they state "Early models".
