Peripheral iSimple PXAMG/PGHTY1 Toyota/Lexus iPod Adapter w/Aux+Text Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this for a 08 Toyota Camry and 05 Tundra w/ NAV. I have the USA spec adapter in my tundra now and I have to say I am pretty dissappointed that it stopped working they I wanted it to (no more playlist option) as soon as Apple did an update to their ipod line. The PXAMG installed fairly easily and is firmware updateable which I like. I made sure to run the latest firmware update which it already had and the customer service was great confirming all my questions through the install. Two thumbs up for this product.

DICE i-Toyota-R-5v iPod Integration Kit for Toyota, Lexus and Scion Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this installed for about a week, so I'm still playing around with it. But I hope this review still helps....
I installed this on a 2007 Camry LE. It has the basic factory radio (not navigation) and steering wheel controls. Installation took approximately an hour with an online guide to get to the back of the Camry radio, and some previous experience on other, similar cars.
The Car Configuration and iPod Configuration switches were in the default position (both up).
I Plugged in a 2nd generation iPod Touch with firmware 3.1.3 and it worked (text showed up on radio and could control from the radio and steering wheel). However, (This is where it gets finicky) when the car was turned off, then on, the ipod would sometimes continue from where it last left off. Other times, it would start from a song originally selected on the ipod. Ideally, the ipod should pause when the car is turned off, and continue where it last left when the car is turned back on (I have a 2010 Altima with the iPod integration factory installed). Yet, it did work, so that was good.
Later on, the car radio would display text as though I was scrolling through options (Bass, Mid, Treble, Software Version and some other things) and text that showed time (like a track was playing), but there was no sound. At this point, I could occasionally get a song from the iPod to play, but it was the same song and I could not figure out how to change it.
At this point, I thought it was not going to work anymore, until I started playing with the switches.
I decided to put the iPod Configuration switches both down. Both up makes the iPod display an accessory connected (such as an iPod dock) and you can only control from the car radio/steering wheel. Both down let's the user have control from both the iPod and car radio/steering wheel. According to the manual, both down is for radios that do not display text.
Anyway, after putting the switches down, everything started to function normally (Controls from radio/steering wheel, text on radio, and iPod paused after turning the car off and played after turning the car on).
Hopefully, everything continues to operate well.
I recommend this product.

Dice i-Mazda/Mazda 3 & 5 /Protege/Tribute/ IPod Adapter w/ Aux Audio Input Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit for my '07 Camry with Navigation after DICE Electronics assured me that it was compatible. While I guess you could say that it works with my stereo/nav unit, it's so unreliable that it is almost useless. I go on long drives and listen to a lot of audiobooks on my iPod. If I make a quick stop, upon restarting my car, I often find that the book (or podcast, or song, or whatever) has been reset back to the beginning. If I didn't happen to notice the exact hours and minutes of the audiobook, I have to search through it to find my place. Very annoying and a real time waster. It also randomly pauses my iPod without me touching it, then restarts it again a few seconds later. It is capable of displaying the title and track name from the iPod, but then inexplicably blanks this information out. If I switch to map view and then back, the info reappears. If I disconnect and then reconnect the iPod (and who wouldn't, as that's kind of the whole point of having one), the DICE unit makes the iPod "forget" my place in the playlist. Upon reconnecting, it will always play the same track, out of the 10,000 or so on the iPod. I mean, I like "...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead," but I'm damn sick of hearing the opening of that one song. Finally, I should mention that when I sent this complaint via their online system, it took 6 weeks before anyone even posted a "say, did anyone ever help you with this?" When I answered in the negative, I never heard another word. Apparently, they don't care if they have unhappy customers. Do yourself a favor, buy a VAISTech unit instead. It does the same thing, and while the reviews have been mixed, they have been far better than the DICE's.

DICE i-VW-SAT-5v iPod Integration Kit for Volkswagen with Auxiliary Input for Satalite Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)1st let me say that my issues have nothing to do with the seller at all. The product was shipped promptly and received ahead of schedule.
As for the device itself, it's a piece of [...]. I followed the instructions line for line. The included harness makes it quite easy to install. However, the second i installed it and turned on the car I got alerts on the dash display that my airbag was faulty. I thought it was just a coincidence, and took it to the dealer. They disconnected the dice adapter, and reset the error and the error did not come back after restarting the car a dozen times. The second they re-connected the adapter the error came back.
They had the car for 2 days and could not figure out why the dice adapter was causing an issue with the airbag so they disconnected it. Getting in contact with someone from dice support is like pulling teeth. I used their online chat and it took over an hour for someone to respond, then i was told it must be something with my car and there was nothing they could do about it. I tried calling the phone number listed on their website several times but could not get anyone that could/would help me.
For the brief period the device was connected, the controls are clumsy at best, the track info displayed on the screen was just jumbled text. Switching from the ipod adapter to the 3.5 mm aux in adapter on the unit worked, switching back involved me having to disconnect the adapter to reset it.
Bottom line, the unit is worthless and is now sitting on my shelf because it's garbage and dice will not stand behind their product. Don't waste your money

Dice i-BMW-T Silverline Pro BMW/Mini Cooper IPod Adapter w/ Aux Input Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I chose the Dice Silverline over the unit sold by BMW because of it's ability to navigate by Artist and Album in addition to Playlists. BMW's unit requires you to set up playlists BMW1, BMW2, etc. The playlists are then accessed directly via the radio buttons 1-6. While the Dice concept is great, I'd have to give the design execution a failing mark. Scrolling is EXTREMELY slow; which in itself would render the extra navigation features nearly useless (unless you're driving cross-country and have all day to press a button, wait 2 seconds, and repeat many, many, many times in order to find that Artist who's name starts with "M"). The real problem is that if you happen to step through your list too fast, either the iPod or the Dice unit (and sometimes, both) lock up and require a reset. Resetting the iPod is pretty straight forward. Resetting the Dice unit requires either removing the glove-box to get at the unit or taking your trunk apart to get at the connector. Alternatively, you can disconnect both your battery terminals and wait the 1/2 hour for the Dice to reset. This also requires you to reprogram your radio presets on recovery. No matter which method you choose, it's a royal PITA. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW YOU ARE STEPPING TOO FAST UNTIL MELTDOWN OCCURS! I realize that the speed of execution bottleneck is probably in the iPod and not the Dice unit. Nevertheless, the Dice unit is in-line between your radio control and the ipod. It should, therefore, be able to at least monitor and inhibit your input enough to avoid the melt-down. If this requires more than just a simple firmware modification (e.g. a more sophisticated micro-controller) then Dice should upgrade it's electronics. I'd certainly be willing to pay the up-charge, if any, required to effect a better design implementation.
As it stands, if you avoid using the effectively useless Artist and/or Album navigation and stick with Playlists, you're still ahead with the Dice versus the BMW in that you are only limited in the number of playlists you are willing to SLOWLY navigate. And you're not required to set up any device-specific playlists.
Bottom line: Best available but needs work -- use with EXTREME caution if you're not willing to constantly remove, reset, and re-install.
