Let $M$ be a $d\times d$ real contracting matrix. We consider the self-affine iterated function system $\{Mv-u, Mv+u\}$, where $u$ is a cyclic vector. Our main result is as follows: if $|\det M|\ge 2^{-1/d}$, then the attractor $A_M$ has non-empty interior.
We also consider the set $\mathcal U_M$ of points in $A_M$ which have a unique address. We show that unless $M$ belongs to a very special (non-generic) class, the Hausdorff dimension of $\mathcal U_M$ is positive. For this special class the full description of $\mathcal U_M$ is given as well.
This paper continues our work begun in two previous papers.
