There's been a fix for this issue since last summer. I think your dealer was just a little behind on m-tips.

I thought the Am/FM antenna is located on the rear hatch glass, not the windshield. I could be wrong, though.
Anyway, I think the previous poster was asking about the sat radio antenna.

Sorry for the long response time. I do have full control of the iPod now, to include the steering wheel controls. I would say the main strength comes from being able to skip forward or backward in a playlist from the steering wheel controls. It claims to be able to change playlists and artists but I haven't master the complicated system yet. It is just easier to select these choices using the iPod itself. Hope this helps.

I will assume this is the Dice R2 unit, setup in the Dice mode. Did you install it yourself or have someone else do it (3rd party or Mazda Dealer)? If you did it yourself was it difficult? Any pitfalls? If someone else installed it how much did it cost? Where did you have the ipod hook up - in the center console or glove compartment? Lastly, at $50 extra, did you purchase the craddle unit to hold the ipod?

Correct you are... some times I get my gl(ass)es mixed up... 
If they were reffering to the Sirus ... that antenna varies upon installation...

Dice and some other question

My first post in here. I bought my 2008 CX 9 Gt a week ago. I have the Bose package(no NAV, no DVD). Currently I have my iPod hooked up by using a simple patch cable and another cable that charges it. It looks like that the Dice unit will both play and charge the iPod at the same time. I also have a Dice in my BMW. How hard is it to install the Dice in the Mazda? Do I have to open up the console? It is a very install in the BMW. Also, Dice's site mentions an R2 unit for the 06 and 07, but not for the 08.
On another note, I was also looking at the Crutchfield noise isolator. Again, how easy is it to install?
It looks like I will be spending some time on this site...

Yes, it is the R2 in Dice mode. I had it installed by the dealer at no charge since they were unable to get the Mazda iPod Integration to work with DVD Nav. I had the iPod installed in the glove compartment and didn't purchase the cradle. The system works as promised.

I had a Dice R2 installed as well. Unfortunately the dealer who installed it has no idea how it works. The instruction for the Dice unit leave one hell-of-a-lot to be desired. From what I understand, with Navigation and no Sirus satellite system, you're supposed to run the unit thru your SAT (button) system. Great, the sound is much better than what I had before when using the AUX port, but I have no idea how to display anything what's more change channels. How complicated can this be.
Can anybody help me?
