DICE solution overview for iPod, streaming, etc
Batman,
I love the VaisTech platform and think it is so damn cool for those guys who want audio/video.....i.e, passing the cassic iPod screeen to the Navi screen........ But, for a simple audio solution (with good Text coming across the factory Nav Screen) I do believe that there are some very Viable options.
Lexus owners please know that I cannot speak for other Manufacturers but Dice has iPod integration available for Lexus Models but our Sound Quality is awesome. Yes, Awesome!!! I have a Toyota, I have Dice Media Bridge(Same unit used for Lexus), and my system Rocks. I have a 6 Speaker 1500 Watt Factory System in my car and I use our Media Bridge Product via A2DP Audio Streaming from my HTC EVO and I rock the neighborhood. I go to dealers daily and show my system off and get ooh's and ahhs constatly. I also recieve calls from extatic customers soely calling to thank me for giving them such an awesome soluion.
In short I just don't think that the only solution is VaisTech.....yes I will admit the integration is awesome, but for those who want to spend a less, Have full Text Display, who want Blutooth and A2DP Wireless Audio Streaming, Sat, an additional Aux Port, a kit they can install easily themselves if they choose (plug and play), a firmare updateable piece that will be in their car for as long as they own it, USB connectivity, and very importanty working with an Authorized Apple Partner who has to submit any and all product to Apple and get run through a Gauntlet before product can ship our Media Bridge is definatley a piece that has proven itself to be a VIABLE solution.
We also have our standard Lexus integration kit the Silverline DUO, which gives standard iPod integration with Sat........same as Media Bridge but no Bluetooth and no USB, just a mini USB for firmmware uptates.
So all my Lexus people please know VaisTech is not your only solution....if you are an audio purest as am I, Dice just may be your best solution.

Scion System Mistake in Wattage, Typo Error
My Apologies.....I have a Six Speaker 150 (I hit an extra 0) Watt Speaker System With a Tube amp in the rear and the system sounds great. Here is the link http://www.edmunds.com/scion/xa/2006...tyle=100570405 on the option. The last thing I want to do is misrepresent my Company or my intentions. Although pointing out a misnomer might be thrilling to some the bottom line here to this post is that there is a great iPod/Smartphone integration solution available by Dice for factory Lexus systems. I hope I can help those who need help, and to those that feel it their responsibilit to pick out misnomers I am happy to oblige. We all make mistakes, and I did by hitting 0 twice. I am a customer service representative at Dice Electronics and I have access to a team of technicians and a team of engineers. If anyone has questions that are posed and actually have something to do with iPod integration you are well taken care of. And, for the many Dice useres I have had the pleasure speaking to directly or via e-mail due this forum I thank you for all your business and your support.

The DICE Media Bridge seems like a great solution, especially that Bluetooth integration feature since it will allow '06-'09 2IS's in particular to add that feature, which comes stock in the '10+ cars with 6th gen nav.

I looked into DICE as an option for my BMW but too many owners were complaining of constant dropouts in the signal. I ended up doing a solid hardwire through the AUX MacGyver style.

"It's all good"
Just trying to throw out some love to all and felt like I was being "lit up" my bad.........just a regular dude here trying to do my thing. I like to help. Dice has some killer stuff...I work with it every day. We have had our growing pains, but as a whole I get some really good input.
The BMW thing is kinda weird....BMW is "our thing", that is kinda of a know in the integration biz from what I have heard???? .....I have only been here a couple years and don't know all the history. All I know is of the product now and my personal experiences, which have all been pretty good. I have worked for Manufacturers all my life and the guys here really have something here. CES was huge for us.
My Bad and I am chillin like a villain. Just wanted to get Dice back on the map as a viable solution....want to help...my buddy has a lexus, we did a video on it with the Media Bridge which came out great....been waiting for my guys to get this to me, when I get it out I think all will enjoy.

DUO sounds great. for about a week!
product is awful on my Lexus GS 350 2007. in mp3 mode, no text display on my Navigational unit. to make matters worse, it would stop working after a week. BUT after disconnecting the car battery, plug it back it... then i can listen to ipod output again. im getting tired of disconnecting car battery now!
i shoulda kept my Vaistech.
