OEM Honda ipod solution!

[tsxnation]

I just picked up an OEM HONDA ipod interface and it works amazing. It is definitely quite a bit better then the soundgate adapter I used to have and is obviously better then the blitzsafe and usaspec ones out there. Can't go wrong with oem honda quality and a one year honda warranty. No need to splice any wires and comes with the 'y' adapter for vehicles with nav.

Oh ya, you can control your ipod from the steering wheel!

oh ya, i paid 230 tax in at acura woodbine which is a steal of a deal considering the price of aftermarket products

Hmmm...maybe i need one of those.

More info please. Is it for 04-05? Where is the ipod held?

Haha. Wait until it starts locking up on you, or whatever problems everyone was having with those. It's "obviously better than usaspec?" How so? Have you ever tried the USASpec? It owns the OEM one and also comes with the Y adapter and is controlled by the steering wheel, and it's cheaper, and also has an input for other sources such as Sirius, or a DVD player, or whatever else you wanted to connect and play though your stereo. Enjoy your overpriced POS.

Wow, there is a 1 year Honda warranty so what is the issue here? I don't have any problems and it works for all the years of the tsx. I don't have a problem and I prefer the satisfaction of knowing the product I have can be easily exchanged at a honda dealership as opposed to fighting people to try to try to get a warranty service performed with soundgate (as i am right now) or other aftermarket manufacturers.

Where can i find one for an 04 with nav? Im a newbie.

[AcidLotus]

Personally, I'd rather spend $135 bux or whatever it was to get the USASpec and not have any issues (and even if I did, not care, still have plenty of money to buy another one) than to be in and out of the dealership over the course of a year to have them sit on my car and diagnose and repair or replace their OEM iPod hackjob.

Honestly, for my car (05 TSX non-navi in Canada so no XM) the Dension Icelink has been working fine for quite some time. Cost me what? like 40$CDN from ebay. I can control my ipod from steering wheel just as the rest...

But i suppose if you have XM or navi the icelink won't work, can someone give me another reason not to use the icelink other than these reasons?

the oem Aux input on my 06 that comes with the car is THE BEST! and it OWNZ all your aftermarket stuff!

you may ask why? because it was FREE! Well....it comes with the car so whatever...hehe. anyway, i wish they would do the music link, to be able to control the ipod on the nav screen and use steering wheel, something fully integrated. that would be awesome.

The kit is very high quality. Acid Lotus seems to be very bitter of an item he/she doesn't even own. Works perfectly and install is easy.

keep us updated on your experience. would love to know more about it.

I know better than to own it. Read all the negative comments about it all over the Internet. I'm an informed consumer, not bitter. I didn't just get robbed by the stealership either.
