Here are the parts.




First, rip the dash apart. The newer cars are actually much better about this than older ones. Pretty much everything snaps on/off. I did have to snake my hand around to the back of the radio to insert the plug into it. Thankfully, I have small hands.




Last, I put the Dice in the glove box. I'm still not sure if I have it setup the way I want it since you can set it up as an additional cd player, mp3 player, or satellite. They all seem to work a bit differently and have their own pluses and minuses.
Care to explain exactly what that device does? As I understand it, it plugs into the radio, then you plug in a USB drive with MP3s on it, similar to what's available in the 2010 Insight. Does it support one touch playlists and/or symbolic links? (In other words, how well does it integrate into the existing interface?)
