My non-ML stereo on my 2007 GS350 displays CD Text and MP3 Text. But as described earlier... on my firmware of the HD dice unit, it's a little off... in that the song name (title) shows but not the album or the Artist (when using the Ipod).

No, that is the base.

If you go to the main dice page, and look for the support tab... it will take you to a page with pdf's of instructions... look for the HD antenna pdf... It will give you the directions for installing the antenna, which may give you a better idea of what I'm describing.

I would have linked it but, I'm not sure if we are allowed.

Well, my understanding (and the way this is installed) is that if you have XM or Sirius (or are planning to install it in the future), that it will not interfer with eachother... In other words they can coexist.

I emphasize my understanding.

If it does, I think this would be great! Anybody know if the non ML stereo's display CD text?
The non Mark Levinson stereos do display text, it all just depends on the CD. I Euge Groove's Jazz CD's and they display the text on the screen for the album title and song.

After the installation do you need to bring it to the dealership to have it activated???

Thumbs down HD DICE + ipod

I got this unit and i am sending it back in exchange for the vaistech unit.
The reason is that it is too big to put it anywhere i mean it only fits in the glove box . Second of all for the HD radio tha my regular FM sounds even better than HD DICE one. For the IPOD control it is very hard and tricky to use.
Does anybody know when is next group buy for vaistech unit?????
