New ipod module displays text
I just learned last night about a new ipod integration module being offered by DICE electronics. The new module connects to the HU and emulates a satellite radio and will display ID3 tag information on the stereo's LCD. It has the normal ipod integration features:
-connects through the dock connector
-charges the ipod
-lets you control the ipod from the stereo controls
-provides a 3.5mm auxiliary input for other devices
So far they've tested them in the 3/6/CX-7 as new as 2007, which is an improvement over the AXXESS which won't work on '07+ models. It's priced at $159 (the same price as the standard DICE module) which is a little higher than the audiolink, but with more capablities, and lower than the AXXESS, but with better compatability. Since it's connecting as a satellite receiver it's only compatable with HU's that have the "SAT" button (sorry '04 owners, you're out of luck unless you get a new HU).
Check my audio input thread for details.

Yeah this one seems like a good combination of the audiolink and the axxess (function-wise). Adam at DICE has been really helpful in answering people's questions too. Incidentally the cradle will work with any of the ipod integration modules to provide the video output..... the trick is making sure the screen isn't locked at all times or what's the point.
