Help with 2005 HK System Upgrade

Hi Folks:

Been awhile since I've posted here. I have an 05 Cabrio with the HK sound system and HD DICE installed. I was hoping to get a "Stealth" antenna for the HD DICE unit (the window unit is ugly), but they've discontinued it.

So, two questions.
1. Does anyone know where I could find one of the Stealth HD antennas for the DICE HD unit?

2. If I wanted to upgrade my stereo Head Unit, I undsertand the HK amp and speakers are special. Crutchfield used to have an adapter that let you use the factory HK amp and speakers, but I can not find any reference to that part anymore. Does anyone know what is needed, and where I could find said adapter/part?

I don't really want to replace my Amp and speakers and rewire the whole dang thing, but I'm not really happy with the DICE setup, especially the goofy HD antenna.

Thanks for the help!

Regards,
Lee

Search eBay which might find parts you're looking for.

There exists an HKenabler that tricks the H/K amp in to working with an aftermarket HU.

What is DICE? Maybe theres a different add on for the stock HU that does similar functions?

DICE is a unit that adds an iPod interface and HD radio to the stock system.

Any idea where I can find the HKEnabler?

Thanks!
