I will try to get a picture tomorrow. Basically just tap into the wires from the 3-pin connector and run them to the IBUS interface, creating a parallel IBUS connection. This way you can use the headunit if you still have it in the car to control the dice unit along with the software.

I have not used the eedesign's IBUS interface but assuming its similar it should work no probs. Just make sure the CTS line on the serial port works as the software uses this to provide collision detection between IBUS packets.
