DICE i-Honda-R4 install with PICS
Good day...
Yesterday I had the pleasure of installing a DICE iPod interface into a 2007 TL-S. The TL belongs to Acurazine member donc. For liability reasons I can not tell you how to install this adapter into your personal auto. But donc and I snapped some helpful pics throughout the install. It is a fairly easy process once you get the center console and dash apart. It took me about 3 hours and worked excellent. Please feel free to discuss this install.
Thank you again Don for your patience. Very few people can stand there and watch their brand new car being dismantled for several hours.

esp getting behind the radio..
i installed my musiclink along with my salesperson (who knew nothing about working on a car) @ the dealership parking lot in 10 mins.. and thats going along with not knowing how to do anything yet.. (i just got the car.)
we have a huge cabin of space once you remove the center pocket.. and form there its a piece of cake.

The correct way in a TSX should take atleast 30 to 45 minutes.

The install above might be a bit overboard for some.
You don't need to remove the glove box unless you are planning to keep the iPod stored there. You could, alternatively, store the iPod in one of the small front storage compartments.
The plug behind the head unit can be accessed by removing just the driver's kick panel (+ metal trims). It will be a tight squeeze, but very possible as many have done so. You don't need to go all out and remove the head unit, although doing so would make accessing the plug easier.
Thanks for the snaps nevertheless.
Since you have experience with the install, where can you install the DICE brain? I can't tell from the last picture whether that is behind the head unit or the glove box (or neither). I'm just trying to get an idea of how long the DICE harness is. Thanks.

What uncald4 didn't mention was the removal of the music link installed by the (never will work on my car again) dealer. The install of the music link took 4 hours (I waited) and was not done well (damaged the shift link cover when unlocking the shift lever). I have nothing but admiration for the installation of the DICE R4 kit and plan to have uncald4 install my new audio system in my 05 S2000.
