DICE Silverline Duo with SIRIUS and internet radio

Post by inkey$ » Fri Dec 30, 2011 2:09 pm

Anybody seen these before? Thinking of getting one but need to know if it's all I need to integrate my iphone 4 to my nav/steering wheel controls. Planning an ashtray dock conversion to go with it.

Wanting an easy to fit, non fussy and slick OEM look integration.

I had a couple DICE Silverline units for my iPod to Business CD, utter POS... not sure if they have upped their game but I would avoid. I know that a few on here have working units, but there are more issues that success stories.

SIRUS sounds attractive, but I don't think that part will work in the UK :(

Cheers Matt. As I suspected but good to hear first hand. Intravee II sounds the way forwards for me.

i bought one of these and it works great, clear sound and easy to install. updates have solved most the problems which people have mentioned.

I installed a DUO and SpecDock in my Z4M. As said, if you already have the CD changer it is very easy install. Firmware updates have improved the functionality and useability of the systems, however there are still some annoying background "white" noise on quiet parts of tracks, despite adjustment for gain being available. I don't believe this "hiss" issue is down to cable routing either, as I detected the problem before I fully installed and the unit was "rigged up" outside the car.

The steering wheel controls all work correctly, and with TomTom s/w on phone you get a very useable system for those without factory SatNav fitted.
