Attention installer! Please read the following!
DICE Electronics strongly recommends that the unit be installed in an easily accessible place!
DO NOT PLACE IT BEHIND THE RADIO!
Whether the unit is professionally or self installed, put the module where you, the end user can get to it easily
in the future. (Have the installer show you where the DICE interface module is installed.)
Installing the DICE module behind the radio will make it difcult to:
-Add possible future upgrades, changing software, adding new features, improving operation;
-Access the AUX input on the module to attach any audio device;
-Access the DIP switches located on the module;
-Remove the unit in case of failure.
MAKE SURE THAT THE MODULE IS IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE!

By default, the interface creates a Playlist having a name that is the same
as the name of the iPod. This Playlist is the very rst on the list of Playlists
shown while browsing in Playlist mode. This Playlist contains all the songs
on the iPod. Once a Playlist is selected an Artist may be selected within
that Playlist using the Artist Mode. Albums by the selected Artist within
the selected Playlist may be selected in Album Mode. “ALL ARTIST” and
“ALL ALBUM” designate all available content in those categories.
The interface automatically charges the battery of the iPod when
connected and your vehicle ignition key is in the ACC/ON position.
Charging may be shown by an
icon that appears on the upper
right corner of the iPod screen.
May vary by model.
