FM Based
Couldn’t find a compatible kit to integrate your iPod? FM Based The RBDS kit is the solution for you!
Finally a great sounding iPod car integration kit for ALL cars*. DICE RBDS connects directly to the antenna port on your radio to offer static free FM modulation. Radios capable of displaying RBDS info will also display the currently playing song information on your iPod.
DICE Electronics RBDS FM iPod kit not only plays the music stored on the iPod but sends track and artist's information as an RBDS message. The majority of the radios found in late model vehicles can decode the RBDS data stream and display it on the radio. It also charges your iPod to ensure hours of uninterrupted listening. You control the music on your iPod like you always do.
Radio Broadcast Data System, or RBDS, has been a standard used in radio broadcasting since the early 80s for encoding text of digital information over FM radio broadcasts. Several types of information are transmitted including music, time and station identification which is then decoded by an RBDS equipped radio.
Don't have RBDS support? No problem! The DICE Electronics FM iPod Kit will work just fine, just won't see text across your radio. Some radios have an RDS button which is the European equivalent of RBDS and it works the same way.
By capitalizing on RBDS's acceptance in the marketplace and currently integrated into almost every car radio, the engineers at DICE Electronics have taken RBDS to the next level; iPod integration.
How the DICE FM-RDS works...
What are the features...
Simply connect the Apple iPod to a DICE RBDS FM iPod Kit then to your vehicle's radio antenna input and transform your sound system from the ordinary to the phenomenal. Listen to your songs recorded on your iPod whenever and for as long as you wish in the comfort and privacy of your own vehicle.

HD Radio
Until now, to receive the digital transmissions, you needed to replace the OEM radio system with an aftermarket HD Radio compatible receiver. This option however is less appealing and very difficult to integrate to modern automobiles having a tightly integrated entertainment system. The solution is HD DICE. HD DICE is an external HD Radio tuner that integrates to the factory radio the same way as an external SAT radio tuner would. Vehicle specific connectors are provided to shorten installation time, and a HD Radio specific antenna is used to receive the digital AM/FM signal. DICE provides several different flavors of HD DICE manufactured to match the communication system of the target vehicle.

This tight integration allows users to change and select HD Radio stations using the buttons on their existing factory (OEM) car radio or using the entertainment system controls found on the steering wheel. The intuitive user interface allows radio listeners simply tune to their favorite stations and receive them in either a digital or analog format depending on their station. Tuning up or down will step through any sub-channels that may be available on the selected frequency for each digital radio stations transmitting in multicast, or will tune to the next frequency if multicast is not available. To overcome the limitations of small display size present in many vehicles DICE will also introduce an optional display. This display will feature an adjustable backlight color to match the color of the factory instrument cluster. HD DICE is available with initial vehicle support focusing on selected models of Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Honda, Lexus, Mini Cooper, Scion and Toyota vehicles.
