    Post from Sweden :)
    On Prius US models there is possible to run DICE in SAT mode and use the Radio Tuner knob to scroll thru your Ipod library Artist/Album.
    But on European models of Prius there is no SAT button on OEM radio so I can’t use my DICE in SAT mode.
    Is it possible to get this scroll feature on DICE when running in CD changer mode, or in any other mode ?
    Is there any FW upgrade for DICE available for Europe to make this work ? ​

    Do DICE release FW upgrades on a regular basis, and if so how can I find/download FW upgrades.​

    satmode on the us prius is combined with a second function
    maybe press it 2x and you get sat?

    Thanks, but my ( EU ) Prius only have an DISC/TAPE button, the US ones have a SAT/DISC button I belive.

    yes but press it a few time's to toggle between the mode's
    will it bring up sat/dice input?

    Note that the OP has a 2005 Prius - does the SAT mode of the Dice work on that anyway?

    The US Prius has a SAT/AM button, which switches between the three satellite presets and AM radio.

    i guess that there are some ipod adapters that work as "sat" and some that work as "cd changer" and if your prius cannot do "sat" you just need to find an ipod adapter that tells the prius its a "cd changer" and all will be fine

    wouldn't make sense selling satellite ready radios in europe where you can't get satellite radio, right?
