FAQs Before Purchasing the Kit
How can I tell if my factory Acura radio will
support text?
The factory radio must have an XM or SAT button.
Can the factory XM be retained?
Yes, factory XM can be retained with our
Y-harness that is included in the i-Honda-R4 kit.
Retaining XM requires the kit to be in CDC
emulation mode.

About Dip Switch Settings
The configuration switches located on the DICE module are used to set the operation of the interface by
the installer. Incorrect dip switch settings may cause the DICE interface not to work properly or not to
operate at all. Disconnect the vehicle harness from module and cycle ignition off for 50 seconds
after changing the switches!

Are any of the operational features different
between SAT-mode and CD-mode of the DICE
unit?

nearly identical in both emulation modes.
SAT-mode has the benefit of text display.

iPod?

iPod. Note: pressing and holding of the steering

ON ON
It is best selected when text
display is NOT supported
by the radio. Track
numbers and times are not
synchronized between the
iPod and radio. Because
there is less data transfer
between the iPod and radio,
this mode has the fastest
response time. Content is
selected on the iPod only.
