DICE R-3 installed in 05 TL non-nav, sub question
 

I just got my dice r-3 in the mail yesterday, got it on ebay for $144 and I absolutely love it. I was skeptical at first cause Ive never used an Ipod adapter like this before, but Im glad I bought it- its definitely my favorite mod Ive done so far. It took me a little while to get it set up correctly, but now that im used to it its really easy to use. I just leave the Ipod in my center console and all the controls on the radio work for everything. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an Ipod adapter. The text display is great, I can use the steering wheel buttons, I can scroll through my playlists, and the sound is crystal clear and loud. Ill put some pics up of the text display, because when I was researching what to get I couldnt find any pics of the non-nav displays...

While Im in here I do have one question about my subwoofer setup-- I have a Kenwood 500W amp and a JBL 10" sub and its no where near as loud as it should be. I think it has something to do with my line output converter. I have it hooked up to the speaker wires going to the right rear deck speaker. It says its best to splice it into two speakers, but I couldnt get to the other speaker wires cause I did it behind the rear seat.

What I wanna know is should I disconnect the factory sub and splice it into those wires, or just splice it into the other rear speaker as well as the one that already hooked up??? Its weird cause its loud sometimes, but you can barely hear it at other times...
Thanks

would love to see some pics of the non-nav display with ipod info!!!

remove the factory sub and use those wires.

would love to know if this is compatible with iPhone 3GS / iPhone4. Does it play music from both and does it charge the phone as it's playing music? I emailed customer service at Diceelectronics.com but no response yet

they will email you back, I emailed them too and it took a few days. I dont know about iphones I dont have one so I cant help ya. Ill take some pics today

iirc, yes it does work with iPhone 3GS / iPhone4

it'll say "This feature blah blah blah" but it will charge and play music or any other sounds coming out of your iPhone

thanks for letting me know that. On their site it says that r-3 is for acura TLs, non-navi, and no XM button.

OP do you have that button? I know that most of US guys have this and we in Canada don't. Technically this should work on my car but I just have to make sure.

Go with the factory sub wires. The rear fill is most likely crossed over and that's why you hear it sometimes and not all the time. It cuts out after a certain frequency - most likely the lower 80hz and below (but I'm not sure what the cutoff is). Hope that helps. I did the same thing over the weekend and it works great.

sweet, Ill rewire it asap. Mine does have the XM button on the dash. Heres some quick cell phone pics:
