ego flash bluetooth and DICE works together

I wanted to add handsfree bluetooth on my car and also use my iphone as a music player. Bought an EGO FLASH off NAM. It was very easy to tap into the factory harness with the supplied kit and install was a breeze.

Bluetooth works very well. Problem was that the mp3 input on EGO did not work since the EGO unit already utilizes the MINI aux in. The iphone does not support A2DP protocol which simply sends music over bluetooth technology.

SOLUTION was that i used a DICE ipod kit with the EGO flash. The key is to install the DICE on the headunit first then ego flash onto DICE harness and finally attach it to the car harness. This only took me 15 minutes and no wires were cut.

So now the car has handfree bluetooth which stops music play on iphone and resumes play automatically. All while charging the iphone.
