About the DICE MediaBridge for Toyota
Looking for a lot more from your factory stereo, but don't want to buy a whole new receiver? Or maybe it's not so easy to change the stereo in your newer car. Just install DICE Electronics' MediaBridge, and suddenly your boring factory stereo gives you iPod control, an auxiliary input, and a connection for a satellite radio tuner.
Browse your playlists with your factory radio
Just mount the compact hideaway box in a hidden location in your vehicle, and connect the included 40" harness to your factory stereo. You can plug your iPod or iPhone® into the USB input on the MediaBridge, then browse your music library by album, artist, or playlist right from the radio or with your steering wheel audio controls. The direct connection to your stereo gives you superior sound, and your iPod will stay charged while you drive. You can also plug in a USB thumb drive loaded with MP3, WMA, and AAC files.
Satellite radio and more
Add an optional SIRIUS tuner, and you can tap into the wealth of entertainment satellite radio provides. Last of all, a mini-jack input lets your friends plug in their MP3 players or dock-and-play satellite radios.

Note: The factory radio must have TEXT button/option to be compatible. Please use the Crutchfield Car Selector to verify compatibility with your vehicle.
Song & Artist Display: The MediaBridge will display the song, artist, album, and playlist titles of your music on your vehicle's factory radio display so you know who and what song you are listening to. This also makes navigating through your songs a simple task, using only the controls on your radio.
Playback Control: With the MediaBridge all of the connectable devices can be controlled from your factory radio or vehicle's steering wheel controls. The DICE MediaBridge lets you use your vehicle's factory radio or steering wheel controls to navigate through your music from your connected devices. The MediaBridge will either emulate the factory radio's MP3, CD, or SAT controls (whichever applicable and based on dip switch settings).
Digital USB Audio: The DICE MediaBridge features a USB type-A port and comes with a 13' USB type-A extension cable to connect your portable flash-drive, MP3 player, or portable USB card reader for playback of music files. The MediaBridge supports playback of MP3, WMA, and AAC (M4A) music files formatted in FAT16 or FAT32. The unit will support up to 8 levels per folder, 200 folders, and 1000 files per folder. You can browse folders and songs using the factory radio or steering wheel controls. Artist and song title information will be shown on your factory radio's display. The MediaBridge provides digital USB audio with level matched audio output to your vehicle's factory radio. This means that the MediaBridge will provide the best sounding connection possible for your USB connected portable devices.
Note: This unit does not support DRM encryption audio files. The unit's USB connector is not compatible with USB hard drives, USB hubs, computers or digital cameras.
iPod/iPhone Compatible: The DICE Electronics MediaBridge is "Made for iPod" and "Works with iPhone" compliant allowing a full featured iPod/iPhone experience over a USB connection in the vehicle. Your iPod or iPhone simply plugs into the MediaBridge's USB port using the Apple Dock Connector-to-USB cable that came with your iPod or iPhone. The MediaBridge offers audio playback, music navigation, information display, and charging of your iPod or iPhone. The MediaBridge lets you browse your iPod/iPhone's music by song, playlist (unlimited), album, or artist. The artist and song title will be shown on your factory radio's display. You can also choose to control your iPod/iPhone from its own clickwheel or touchscreen. The MediaBridge supports the following iPod/iPhone functions (as of July 2011).

- SiriusConnect Vehicle Kit: The SiriusConnect SCVDOC1 Vehicle Docking Kit turns your Sirius Dock & Play or Portable radio into a dedicated tuner, allowing your to listen to Sirius Satellite Radio from your vehicle's factory audio system. The SiriusConnect Vehicle Kit allows your Sirius Dock & Play or Sirius Portable radios with universal docking capability to be connected to and controlled by your factory radio.
Note: A subscription is also required to receive satellite radio programming from SIRIUS. SIRIUS Satellite Radio features more than 120 streams of original programming beamed coast-to-coast, including 65 streams of commercial-free, digital-quality music, and news, talk, sports, entertainment, and children's programming.
Auxiliary Input: The MediaBridge features a minijack (3.5mm) port to connect any portable music player which features an audio output or headphone output.
Dip Switches: The DICE MediaBridge (MB 1000) features two dip switches to configure the module for your compatible Toyota, Scion, or Lexus vehicle.
Vehicle Harness: The included vehicle harness connects to the small connector on back of your Toyota, Scion, or Lexus factory radio.

Then plug your vehicle's factory harness into the cable receptacle on the MediaBridge's vehicle harness.
Installation Note: DICE Electronics recommends that the module be installed in an easily accessible place (not placed behind the factory radio). This allows for easier connection and disconnection of your external audio devices, as well as future firmware upgrades.
