Do I lose functionality of any devices in my
vehicle that were factory installed?

External CD-changers are disabled (mainly on
some 2002-2004 models), other factory options
can be retained.

If my vehicle’s factory radio does not have a
TEXT button present, does this mean my
radio won’t support text display?

No, it does not. Many late-model touch-screen
navigation systems in Toyota/Lexus (2005-2008)
will have a TEXT button appear on screen to
cycle between text-fields.

Will the i-Toyota-R support video playback on
my navigation screen?

No, our iPod kit only transfers the audio and text
information for the audio through your stereo
system.

What are the different emulation modes for?

The i-Toyota-R kit offers four different modes of
operation (CD-changer, Mini-DISC, Satellite,
and MP3). Depending on the radio in your
vehicle, one or the other will offer TEXT display
support.

Can this kit be used on vehicle sold outside
the US?

MD changer emulation is ideal for customers in
the U.K. and Japan.

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!

Because there is less

mode has the fastest
response time.
