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 by dohc97

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?

Bluetooth and Google 411 Rock by howardru

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!

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.

Can I Tranfer My Previous Sirius Account by mescalero
Jun 23, 2008 (10:48 am)

Hello Friends, I just got my Mazda CX-9 this past Saturday and I can honestly say it a great ride with a great color (Black Cherry Mica), that turn heads. I do need some info about the Sirius Radio though, I had the Sirius Radio on my previous Truck, so when I got the CX-9, I chose not to get it. My question though, is this. Is the radio in the CX-9, Sirius Ready? Can I just tranfer my previous sirius account to this CX-9 and ask them to activate it, or do I have to get the Mazda dealer to hookup the radio to make it Sirius Ready? Please advise.
