Took apart my DICE HD. I've taken pics, will post them soon.

The unit consists of 3 PCBs, the main PCB has the Antennae connector, dip switch1, the Ipod interface, and the audio out connector. The tuner PCB is a Samsung HDRMUHHN00PTA rev 2.2c and plugs into this board and sits on top of it. The car interface PCB sits to the side and connects via a 10 pin ribbon cable, this connector has the car interface and dip SW2.

Now for the goodies...

The main PCB uses an HCF 4066 chip for driving the communication lines to the car interface PCB, which uses a PIC18F2410T-1/SO to convert the Ibus data format to the tuner data format.

So it looks like it would be possible to build an interface board with a USB port on it that would talk to the main board.

I'd be willing to bet DICE can't do this per their licensing agreements with Ibiquity and their agreements with the RIAA. But there have been those that did do it with the XM and Sirius units.

Unfortunately that's about where my abilities end.
