#115 of 187 Re: iPod Integration Update [imamg] by tucsonans Apr 16, 2008 (10:37 am)
Replying to: imamg (Mar 13, 2008 8:51 am) 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.

Replying to: tucsonans (Apr 16, 2008 10:37 am) 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? Replies to this message: tucsonans (Apr 26, 2008 2:25 pm) buzzard7 (May 02, 2008 1:27 pm)

Replying to: ceric (Apr 16, 2008 10:25 am) 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...
#118 of 187 Dice and some other question by dohc97 Apr 20, 2008 (5:45 am)
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...

Replying to: buzzard7 (Apr 16, 2008 12:54 pm) 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. Replies to this message: buzzard7 (May 02, 2008 1:27 pm)

Replying to: tucsonans (Apr 26, 2008 2:25 pm) 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?
#121 of 187 Bluetooth and Google 411 Rock by howardru Jun 02, 2008 (10:56 am)
The world is at your voice command   I’ve got a great tip for using the hands-free Bluetooth and Google Search.   Use the CX-9’s built-in address book and add “Google” to your address book. Program in the free directory assistance Google 411 phone number 1-800-466-4411. Now you can do a GOOGLE Search while driving your car, hands-free!   Now you’ll be able to use the voice CX-9’s voice recognition system to dial the Google 411 voice recognition directory assistance and search by business name or category (food, gas station, movie theatre, CVS etc).   The system will verbally list the top listings with address, connect you automatically to the business, and even send you an SMS text message to your phone if you say “Text Message”.   This is an easy way to find those Points of Interest that the built-in GPS navigation system doesn't have.   All for free without any directory assistance 411 or operated-assisted wireless carrier fees!

Replying to: howardru (Jun 02, 2008 10:56 am) Thanks for sharing!! Today I set it up and made a hands free, no cost, Google 411 directory assistance call !!   Really appreciate the tip!! Any other goodies to share? Replies to this message: howardru (Jun 03, 2008 5:28 pm)

Replying to: horseygirl (Jun 03, 2008 4:25 pm) More tips...sure...   Always wear seat belts.   and don't give rides to strangers even if you want to show off your sexy CX-9 I'll pass them along as I discover them. I've only had the car 5 days so far.
