Default Ipod Integration from Dice Electronics

http://www.diceelectronics.com/ipod_integration.htm

Anyone see this yet? I called the company today and they said the cost would be about $180... looks to me like it would even output the text of the iPod's screen. Do you think its worth it?

From the article: "Radios supporting CD-text will also display text from your iPod allowing you to view song title and artist name right on your radio's display."

Then you have this post: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=201814

Did you ask about the 2nd gen IS specifically? I called the about the Soundgate LEXPD referenced in Ken's link and they said that their product did not work with the 2nd gen IS radios...

The lady I spoke to said "yeah no problem"... call for yourself, they dont rush you off the phone... the woman also said that the website will be getting major reconstruction done so that more info and ordering can be done via online...

I also like the HD option there as well... but only if it is capable of multicast reception.

I'll wait for the website to get redesigned to provide more information but the "sure no problem..." sounds like sell-speak for we make anything work.

I'll buy it if they will give me a 100% refund if it doesn't works work as they promise.

hmm, if this actually works I'm all over it. why does something just seem a little fishy though? Almost too good to be true. If anyone gets it and confirms it works please scream!

I 100% agree. Please inform. I would love not to have to look at my IPOD all the time. I used to have an alpine in my previous car that let me control the ipod while it was in my glove compartment. This would be very cool.
