SIMPLE MODE - Simple ipod mode is best selected when text display is not supported by the radio. Track numbers are times are not synchronized between the ipod and radio. Because there is less data transfer between the Ipod and radio, this mode has the fastest response time.

Comes with installation instructions.
The DICE ipod kit allows you to control your ipod songs depending on which DISC you have selected.
For example, if you select DISC 3, the next button on your radio will select NEXT ALBUM and so on.
-- AUX INPUT
Selecting DISC 5 and then pressing the next track or previous track button will toggle between the Ipod and the AUXILIARY port. AUX device support does not include controls from the radio or charging. While DISC 5 track 1 indicates that the iPod is selected, the track 2 indicicates that the AUX is select. This allows you to easily toggle back and forth.
The auxiliary input has settings for gain, bass and treble in order to optimize sound. Gain should be adjusted if the input level from the auxiliary device is too low or too high. If you hear distorted audio while playing the auxiliary device, you need to reduce (-) the gain setting. If you notice the audio is too quiet while listening to an auxiliary device, the gain setting should be increased (+). Default settings are 50, 68 is default for gain and the values can be adjusted between 01-99
In addition to these settings, when listening to the aux device you can adjust the gain, the bass, the mid and the treble settings. The disc 1-4 modes select what function your next previous/next previous bittons will have.
This unit comes with control for your Ipod and also charges the Ipod. Direct sound into your factory radio. Also has a 3.5mm small microphone jack auxiliary port for your car video, carpc or other audio accessory (we sell 3.5mm headphone to 3.5mm cables and 3.5 to rca cables, see related accessories)
