AUX in Ice>Link Gateway 100 or DICE iPod Car Kit

smi99th · 26th March 2008, 23:08

I really need some sort of iPod integration and I think I've narrowed my choices down to these two, mainly because it appears I can still control the iPod whilst it is connected, unlike the official Honda connection for example.

Before I make the plunge, I'd be interested to find out the views of anyone who has either of these set up already!

I know Ice>Link appears to be the more popular - is there a reason for this??

Thanks in advance!

I have an Ice link gateway 100, and it works ok. Took a while to sort out the controls, but once there it's fine. Downside, you CAN'T control the ipod once it's connected - only via HU or steering wheel controls - no big prob.
And the HU screen only presents numbers, 1 thru x not the text titles of the playlist, album, track or artist.

Apart from these smalley probs it does what it says on the tin and mines working fine and has been for a few weeks.

You CAN control the ipod once it's connected, you just need to change the mode the gateway 100 is in, go to disc 6 track 2 and hold down >> on the headunit. that changes the mode to ipod user interface which allows you to control the ipod via the click wheel or the HU controls.

Just had the Dension fitted yesterday!

The job was supposed to take one hour but actually took 3! Was supposed to cost £150 but actually cost £175 because of labour! In sayting that, it does work and sound incredibly good, the wire/connector for the IPOD comes out in the little cubby hole (with door) just under the stereo, its all controlled directly through the steering wheel and there is no need to set up playlist (although I beleive you can), I have just had it on random which works well for me. If anyone needs the contact details for the company who did it please let me know (In Newcastle).

2 hours labour for £25 is not bad.

stuartlockey02 · 30th March 2008, 20:26

No, your right, im very pleased with it to be honest and sounds incredibly good. Here is a link to the company who installed if anyone is interested Online shopping, KTD UK Ltd

stuartlockey02 · 1st July 2008, 20:13

Yes, 07 Type GT.

Iluvtobrevved · 2nd July 2008, 10:25

did u have a panasonic or pioneer HU

stuartlockey02 · 2nd July 2008, 14:08

Not 100% sure, whatever comes as standard, think its the Pioneer. I just quoted them the make and model I found in the Wiki info.

Iluvtobrevved · 3rd July 2008, 07:35

ah u see i had a panasonic so dension and dice and connects 2 dont make there stuff for a panasonic HU.

iamholam · 14th July 2008, 15:20

How can you tell the difference between the pioneer and panasonic HU? I have the sat nav one if it's different?

stuartlockey02 · 14th July 2008, 19:50

Not 100% sure mate to be totally honest but I remember when I called them to book it and the guy said "is it the one with SatNav (no), it should be ok then", so presumng it does make a difference.
