Default I don't get text w/my DICE kit...

I called up DICE electronics and they told me that the audi stock radio won't display artist/song info. It'll just read as track 01, 02, etc...

Really? You tried flipping the toggles on the box itself?

Default nope, kept it as it was when they shipped it out to me...

The toggle switches are all switched to off so I could control it through the radio. The DICE kit in my 3er is set the same way as well, but that shows text fine. I called up DICE to see why I wasn't getting any text display on my radio, and they told me the audi radio won't display any info, just the track numbers. I'm going to be pissed if whoever I spoke to lied to me...

Default Interesting....

The instructions show two positions for those toggles on the box.

One position allows full control from the head unit with text. The other option does not show text, but does allow full control with the ipod.

Do you use the head unit to change songs?

Default I thought it did when I first installed it.

I tried both ways to see how it worked and I swore it was showing text. I have it set for full control through the iPhone now so it only shows the CD track. Maybe one of these nights I will switch it back to see if I was just imagining stuff. That does happen quite often with me. Cocaine is a helluva drug..........
