you guys are getting good results? i saw this article and wondered about overall quality http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/c...analog-models/
can anyone test and confirm reception on a weaker station?

The exact wiring diagram is attached for people without BMW's. For people with BMW's you can use this as long as you have a second I-BUS interface not connected to the car's I-Bus interface. I will be working on a solution to let all the BMW owners including me which will allow us to use only one interface to perform both functions.
For some reason it wont let me post the image so here's the link to it.

OK, great.
How about for sound out from the Dice?
Also, is it true that a 1K ohm will work, or should we stick with the 10K ohm?
Thanx again,
Ron

Sorry abt that here is the audio pinout. I personally experienced a few problems with the 1K, but anything above 5K should work. When I get my car tomorrow, I will measure out the actual voltage on the IBUS line and calculate the exact resistance required, until then I can vouch for anything above 5K

Alright guys, I should have a beta out for the guys who contributed tomorrow evening once I receive the unit and test a few things out. Everyone on the list please PM me your e-mail addresses and I will mail out the beta software. At the moment it does require .NET v2.0 to be installed on the system but I will be rewriting it as a pure C++ application once we get most of the bugs ironed out, it was easier to write it in VC++ .NET while testing. I will include a readme which will explain how to use the software.

Mine is up and running here on the bench.
I am picking up 6 HD stations (x2 feeds each) with the antenna stuck out of the window. I am in central NC, so to say the least I am impressed.
I hope to install in the car tomorrow.
Thanx for the hard work so far, guys!
Ron

I read most of this thread but am still confused(could be because it's 3am) as to what one needs to have this running once it's released..
You need a dice unit plus what else? And is it hooked up via usb?
how much is everything going to cost?
thanks

so the end manifestation of this will be a proven guide for a DIY project/mod, and not an actual complete unit, correct?
