I'm going to install the DICE iPod on my Symphony tonight in my 02 A4 1.8t. Any advice before installing or anything to look out for? Also I have two radio keys... Should i be using four keys? Thanx.

can be done with 2 but it takes more effort. also may need to pull the radio fuse and reboot.

I found that the head unit was pretty snug on my car and having all 4 definitely helped.

How would i go about doing those things?

...but it is advised that you disconnect all of the cables from the headunit. It just makes it easier to work on the headunit because all of the attached cables are short. Once you've disconnected/reconnected the cables your headunit will be in safe mode. Make sure you have your radio code handy and follow the instructions in your manual to re-enable your headunit.
Also, I set the dip switches to be in ipod mode, not dice mode. It does not transfer the song and playlist numbers correctly, but it accesses them quicker and I found the ipod mode to be less buggy.

I'm about to do this, is there plenty of room to get the cable back through the dash and into the center console?

cable behind the dash first ... put it on a hangar and fished it back out.

so there is room, gotta pull the glove box or anything?

MB The Body

fish the hanger through (or fish if you have) then just tape one end of the cable to it and pull. You can put your hand in there to help make room so it comes through nicely and there is plenty of room. Mine comes out on the driver's side and not the passenger side, but there is enough space on both sides.
