Anyone here heard of dice electrionics ipod solution.
Dice Electronics Ipod Kit
I currently have an 06 EXL without Navi or RES. I am looking at all possible solutions for my ipod. I had the icelink plus in my previous car which disabled my sat radio. It looks like this will disable sat radio also but the pros are that you will have an aux port that you can use a aftermarket XM/Sirius radio. Also you will have text capability on your factory radio. I called them and its currently $159 for the base unit and $59 for the cradle.
Here's another interesting feature, a video out capability.

| I spoke to DICE today and she told me the Honda will not display text. She did say the unit will be available in about a week. |

I do not think there is anythin out there that displays the text. I do like there dock/holster thing it looks hot.
I have the SPEC HON2 Interface myself. |

The Crutchfield site says the SPEC unit does not work with factory installed CD changer. Is that true or am I missing something. I have a CD changer but no XM so can't I just use the AUX/XM port?
The DICE rep told me that Honda radios specifically, does not display text so they did not even write logic for the Honda units. |

I guess I got the wrong information.
As for being ready in a week, its the same thing I hear from Blitzsafe about their HON/Mlink1. |

| Trend : they say it does not work because you will ahve to disconnect the CD changer bus cable then plug in the calbe from teh device. BUT if you get teh splitter it splits the bus on the radio into 2 ports; one for the CD changer and the other for the ipod. |

I have the same Pilot. Any more info you might have gotten regarding the Dice unit vs. the USA SPEC unit?

You are correct in your info about the usa-spec. If you have the regular EX-L w/o Navi, you can only use the USA Spec Ipod adapter if you use it in the input of the CD-changer which would obviously disable it. One option is a Y adapter with a splitter. The downfall is that you will need to have the CD changer playing in order for the input to work, and you'll also need to route a splitter switch somewhere convenient enough to use as needed.
Let us know if the Dice works out for you. |

I was looking into the same for my I-Pod for my Pilot EX-L w/o Navi or Entertainment system.
So, let me get this straight. I know I need to unplug the CD changer input and connect the new adapter to it. Does the CD changer mean the built in CD Player or the auxiliary multi-CD changer? I will not be able to use the CD player at all?
It's my I-Pod, but my Wife drives the Pilot for now and would love to be able play her CD's. I would love to have the I-Pod converter for those long family road trips.
