Default It works like the dice/ice link. The first 5-6 playlists it sees as CD's and then you have up to 99

tracks per cd. So it works just like a CD changer.

I liked it. It is simple and easy to use. No messing around and having to worry about a display to look at. Which takes away from driving IMO.

You can keep the Sat also if you do some wiring. THere is a write up in the tech section. I did it and only cost me about $30 in parts.

Default dice/ice link work differently. with the dice, you can control via the device too

which I thikn is a HUGE benefit! ice link only allows you to use the steering wheel or headunit.

does the audi OEM let you control via headunit?

Default I would never try to control the ipod directly. It's a pain to do while driving and a huge

distraction. ice link does allow you to control it via the ipod. I had one.

Default i do, and i often have a passenger with me to do it for me

if you cant control the ipod directly, you are really limited to your 6 playlists

Default Dice gives you access to unlimited playlists. Plus, you can browse

by album and chapter (if you're not in a playlist).

Also, you are not limited to 99 songs per playlist. At 100, it just resets back to 1, but goes to song 100 on the iPod. I don't know if the Audi one does this. People make it seem like it resets back to song 1.

Anyone know?
