Hi Everyone,


Have been playing with the Dice MediaBridge unit with the new firmware. Use their NEW firmware uploader and firmware at

Odds are you want:
MEDIABRIDGE MB1500 - VW/AUDI(CDC)7107

When you flash the Mediabridge, MAKE SURE you also read the instructions as it WILL announce song names all the time and other things too (annoying imho) via MAT unless you change the options. In other words, all your current setting will be DELETED and you'll need to reprogram the MediaBridge plus make a new Bluetooth connection too. I KNOW you'll want to turn off or highly reduce MAT voice announce functions, so....


You have only FIVE seconds after turning it on in the car to choose DISC 1 TRACK 2, which is the Bluetooth section/MAT adjustment. Once it says Bluetooth, choose DISC 6 to adjust MAT via track up/down. I turn it off (no announcements). See owner's manual at

Firmware flashing is now very easy and load it from the web with the new firmware update software. Yes, reprogramming the unit is a major PIA to get it done but once done you're all set. They seemed to have made the connecting you want more reliable and she works fast and smooth.


They also added support for OEI Control App version 1.2 for Apple devices

Ok, you load the OEI app on the iApple device (requires iOS 6.1 or later) connected to the MediaBridge and you can easily change inputs, lockout inputs, Bluetooth options, change tracks, adjust treble/midrange/bass, etc. Works great! HUGELY, VASTLY, ENORMOUSLY BETTER than trying to use the various buttons on the Bentley to make changes.
