DICE harness problem

Hey all,

I installed my DICE unit in January and I had to un-install it last night due to a faulty wiring harness at the head unit. The entire radio was cutting off and back on, so I had to pull the radio out and upon inspection, with the slightest movement of the wires at the harness, everything would go dead. I re-connected the original harness and the head unit now works like a champ. Waiting to hear from EAS to see if they are going to exchange it for me, but I am sans IPod now.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Are you sure you had it clipped firmly? Those connectors are difficult to ensure a good fit and a slight misalignment will give the symptoms you describe

I responded to your email last night, we'll take a look at the harness and get it exchanged for you.
