iPod adapter shootout: Dice vs. Neo

[MarkCarbone]

Many have posted here that the Dice and Neo adapters are both good ways to connect an iPod to the factory audio system. Since they both use a direct-wire connection, audio quality should be very similar. Both apparently allow control from either the car controls or the iPod controls. Cost is also similar and can be compared easily on the web. So what are the detailed differences? Specifically, is one better at the interface to an A4's controls? I have a boat-load of albums on my iPod, and it can be a bit cumbersome to find things even with the iPod click wheel. Does either the Neo or the Dice have an advantage in terms of quickly scrolling or searching through many artistes or albums? All notes on operation and comparisons are welcome. Thank you. Mark

I have been thinking about this as well, and any input would be great. I think they both have the same functionality (ipod charging + control via ipod/radio/steering wheel + another regular aux input for non-ipod mp3 players) and both lack text display on the audi radios.
