Solution
Make sure dip switches are set correctly according to the dip switch setting diagram.
Use CD button to access the DICE unit. Also check connections, making sure power,
ground, and wake-up wires are all attached/tapped in properly.
Try resetting the iPod and insure that the iPod cable connections are tightly connected.
The unit may be stuck in Auxiliary mode.Select DISC 5 and set to Track 01. Switch back
to DISC 1 and try changing track.
Check all connections. Try resetting the iPod and make sure iPod charges while
connected to computer or wall charger.
Make sure all EQ and BASS boost options are turned off on your iPod.
Double-click the next track button or hold the next track button for a little longer and it
will skip to the next song.
Make sure the factory CD-Changer (if equipped) is disconnected and by-passed with
the fiber-optic cabling.
Solution
Reset the iPod by holding down the Menu button and center button together until the
Apple logo appears on screen. New models of iPod may not charge because of altered
charging method (4th gen. Nano, 2nd gen. Touch, 3G iPhone).
This may be because the fiber-optic in and out cables are put in backwards. Just swap
the two fiber optic cables in the connector from the DICE kit and the flow of light should
be back to normal.
The red wire must be connected to Constant 12V power, and the black wire needs to
be attached to a ground source.
Make sure the factory CD-changer is disconnected and the fiber-optic cables that were
disconnected from it are connected to our unit properly.
