Who had trouble withe CD43+DICE link?

[Jehu]

This guy says it will work plug 'n play on later model E34's if i read him correctly but I thought maybe Swenpro was having some problem getting it to work in some way. Recalling the group buy here a while back, why was a home made adapter needed, was that for older E34's? My bleeped up radio is making me consider emerging into the 21st C. buying an Ipod and digitizing my CD collection. That should keep me busy thru the Winter..

this is the thread where I discussed the issues I've been having with the DICE. MacV quickly replied that he too was having the same problem. I've been in touch with Tom who works for EAS (your link) and both he and DICE customer support have said the same thing--the CD43 rejects the DICE iPod module sometimes for unknown reasons, and the only way they will be able to resolve the problem is to have a unit in-house (SoCal) to do some datalogging.

The CD43 head unit is perfectly functional, completely plug-and-play, and definitely worth the upgrade. The special wiring pertained only to the DICE module.

I bought that kit in the group buy a few months ago, but still haven't put it in.

Should I send the box with the deck and the dice kit out to this guy for a test? would that help everybody, or just me?

lmk, and ask him to drop me an email. I'd just as soon send before hand as I have an installer who is going to upgrade some speakers and do the install. I'd rather have him install a perfect unit upfront than have to do anything twice.

I havent installed mine either.In my mind MAC or swenpro should send their units in ,because we know they are having trouble,yours might work!I would apreciate this,as the ipod is really the reason i got the cd43 in the first place!Its a bit far to send mine in!

One of you guys need to hook it up and see if you get the same problems. If you do then PLEASE send it in. I'll buy you dinner if they fix it.

Otherwise I'll be forced to send mine in to save everyone.

Someone be a sweetie and step up.

Err awfully far.... I'll have to order it local to you

You're correct though. We may need someone that has the newer wiring.

Did anything ever come of the Ipod /CD 43 link issue or is it still not strictly functional.

DAMN!!!

My car has been knocked off its feet for the past 3 months and I never thought to send my radio and stuff in for them to check.
