Not sure about the audio

As for the spoiler, All I did was cut the screws off of the bottom of the spoiler (if OEM it will come with screws sticking out the bottom) and I attached it with strong 3M outdoor/indoor double sided tape. No problems for a year now, even going through car washes.

I didn't want to drill holes because I didn't want any possibility of rust. And 3m is really strong stuff.

When installing the spoiler, make sure you follow this very useful advice regarding the 3M sticky tape: http://www.heeltoeauto.com/installs/...foam-tape.html

PLEASE SEARCH before creating threads. You're new, I understand, but you already created a thread asking a question that was answered in late 2006.

Here's a link to the 3G Garage, which is the Holy Grail for the 3G TL here on Acurazine:

As for the spoiler, some require you to drill holes into the trunk to securely fasten it to the trunk. As long as you follow the instructions and add some double sided tape to the spoiler, no matter how powerful the system, it won't fall off.

I don't have navigation but I have an aftermarket subwoofer integrated to my stock system and it works fine.

I don't want my post to sound like I'm talking down to you but threads like these are created all of the time. The moderators have spent considerable time organizing the 3G Garage so people can find answers to their questions quickly. Do the right thing and read through everything before creating a thread.

I personally wouldn't ( and didn't ) install a type s spoiler with tape, especially with how much these are being stolen nowadays.
