^^ It's an Ipod interface made by Dice electronics.
It's pretty easy on the TSX, just like install of all of the other AUX input units. You just need to remove the storage bin and plug it into the bottom of the factory stereo.

Open the door to the top pocket, put both hands in, and press hard outward and pull it straight out. There is only 1 plug on the underside of the radio, and thats the 1 you want.
If you need more info, there's a button up top that says "search". it has everything you could want and more!

Last question.
How do I get text on the display?
I currently have both sides of the dice unit in the ON position.
I want to be able to see the text, control from the steering wheel, and control from ipod.
Any help. Thanks

I just received mine and want to install it myself.
Question for you - did you remove the storage above the 'this is not an ashtray'? How did you secure the dice unit? Did you have to drill any holes? Can you send/post some pics of your post-installation? Thanks!

Here you go
Here is how to Install the Dension ICE>Link or SnHond3 adapter, in a 04 or 05 TSX, I haven't had the opportunity to take apart a 06 TSX, so I am not sure if anything has changed... The Original ICE>Link requires the SNHond3 to be installed, however the newer one is its own unit, with the SNHond3 I also would recommend a Ground Loop Isolator, which you can buy at your local Radioshack.
DISCLAIMER: as with all DIY's, there is some risk, however in this case its extremely easy, and I wouldn't be too worried, also please forgive the pictures, these were taken with my Camera Phone a few minutes ago, so some of them are blurry
Step 1: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY this unit will not work if you skip this step
Step 2: Remove the Storage Bin, this is done by tugging gently on the top and bottom of the bin, it should pull right out.
Step 3: Using a Small Mirror, locate the Aux Port, it should look like this:
Step 4: Plug in the Aux Imput Cable, on the SNHond3 unit the cable has 2 RCA plugs and a Black plug, on the ICE>Link it looks like this:
Step 5: Plug the Cable into the Main Unit, here is the SNHond3 with all cables attached:
Here is the ICE>Link
Step 5: Hook the other side up to an Ipod mount, or any other desired product: (ICE>link shown)
Step 6: Tie everything down (Due to the length of the ICE>Link's Chord, I actually mounted mine behind the glove box), Reconnect the Battery and Enjoy! :mardi:
Note: Navi TSX's will require modification to the SNHond3 or ICE>link cable to work, the modifications needed can be found here
