About the same price as Dice.... I think I paid around $160 for mine from ECS Tuning...
Just checked their site and the kit they show is $179.86. Looks like the kits have changed some since I installed mine. This one looks to be more plug and play and does not require the re-pinning of the connecter.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=225HP&mo del=TT%20MKI&submodel=Quattro&category=Int erior">http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=225HP&mo del=

DICE or CD Changer, not both, on a 2002 coupe anyway...
I have DICE in my 2002 Coupe. I installed it about 5 months ago, and haven't had any issues with it.
The way the cable is hooked up in my car, the CD changer is unhooked from the back of the radio, and the cable supplied by DICE is attached to that port. The changer won't work in conjuction with DICE. One or the other, not both.
I have a second gen Nano, attached to it, and DICE is charging the Nano. The Nano is controlled through the factory radio/cd player.

I went with the simple solution of an aux three way switch and charge cable from Soundgate.
I still have the CD if I want it at the flip of the switch and have room for another device if I feel like it. No, I can't control the iPod through the head unit but so what, just put it somewhere handy and in reach. I did a custom armrest install where I can slide the iPod out from underneath the armrest to access the wheel.

so the vehicle cd changer cable that you disconnected from the back of the HU>>
you didn't reconnect it to the red receptacle as instructed in the manual? and don't you have one cd in dash and six in the changer?

Yep, that is the one I had. It looks like the kit on ECS is an updated version to handle the newer
version Ipods. I noticed with that Dice had to change their units to accommodate the new generation Ipods. My Gen 4 Nano does not charge on my older Dice kit, however the unit I just installed in the Mercedes was designed for the newer gen Ipods. It has a larger cable that connects to the Ipod so that it will charge the new gen Ipods.
