I recently purchased the Dice i-Audi-T2 for my 2006 A3 2.0T. It is connected to the factory Concert head unit. Car config dip switches on the Dice are set to OFF, OFF and iPod config switches set to ON, ON (iPod mode). Problems I have so far:

1) After ignition is turned off and key removed, iPod pauses but remains charged. Have to turn on and off the head unit to make it not charge.

2) After starting the vehicle, ipod plays automatically even when the head unit is off. Then if you turn on the radio (in FM mode) you will hear music from the iPod in the background. Have to manually pause the iPod to continue listening to the radio.

1. It's supposed to do that, leave it alone. 2. Set the switches to DICE mode.

2. In DICE mode the iPod doesn't light up when skipping to the next track using head unit control

Mine's in the glovebox, so I don't care. When I want to use the iPod controls (rarely), I can do that too.

The backlight doesn't come on if you plug your ipod into your t.v. either, to save the battery.

as well as Satellite so as of right now Dice is telling me their iPod integrator will not work as there are no "free" inputs?...does this make sense?

You have to unplug the satellite from the back of the HU to plug in the Dice

As others have said, #1 is normal. But #2 is not, in my experience, especially the iPod playing "by itself."

To fix that, disconnect the iPod, key off, disconnect the DICE power (unplug it from the CD changer socket).

Sometimes you can reset the DICE box simply by turning the HU on and off in CD mode without bothering to unplug the DICE cable, but if that doesn't work, the cable trick will. I've only had to do this twice in many months of use.
