tom,

im really interested in this DICE setup. but is it really plug in play? do i have to install any SW into my IPOD to get the ID3 text to display? the reason why i ask is i already have the ICELINK<plus from you. but i've updated to the 60Gig ipod video and .. i have not updated the files to get the ID3text to work. but now im exploring new options like DICE. also, will the DICE allow me to ACCESS all my playlists without going into some goofy mode?

There are no more "modes", the iPod is 100% unlocked for browsing. No SW is needed for the iPod either - so the iPod is not "married" to the DICE kit.

You will have access to the entire iPod via the steering wheel (with exception of M3cs models, since there are no controls on the wheel) or the radio/NAV system.

Yes! This is a very strong point with the DICE kit.
