I have talked with DICE who has confirmed text should work on their DICE Ipod kit in the TCH. They are sending me a replacement unit. Fortunately, I put the unit in the big storage compartment at the bottom of the center instrument stack so I won't have to take apart the car again to plug in the replacement.

IMPORTANT NOTE: According to tech, there is an "MP3 mode" which is NOT listed in the documentation and is how you get ipod text on the radio. Their tech said: "What xxxx meant was that MP3 mode is with the second car switch in the ON (down) postion. So basically, from left to right, the switches should be UP, DOWN, UP, UP (Off, On, Off, Off). Make sure to reconnect the DICE module after changing the switches. "

I tried this MP3 mode and, well, no dice. Sorry, couldn't resist the pun. I will report back once my replacement unit arrives.

With an 80GB ipod (about half full) I never listen to the radio or CDs and have no urge for XM. Wish the ipod have wifi so I could update it from the garage!
