iPod integration on Canadian 09 MDX Elite ?
Hi all, new member here.
I just bought a Canadian 2009 Elite. As I understand it, this is a combination of options from two or more US trim levels - built in navi, rear entertainment, plus probably some cosmetics.
I was looking for either good bluetooth integration via A2DP, OR iPod integration. A quick search found a bunch of posts telling people to avoid Acura's iLinc.
Elsewhere I found people talking about the USA SPEC PA15 ACU XL, which looked to be exactly what I wanted.
I contacted a Canadian USA SPEC distributor, who said this part will not work on a Canadian MDX.. They wrote:
Good morning. You will actually require a PA15-HON2 for your Acura. The US models are a bit different then the Canadian MDX's. These unit are not currently in stock but am expecting the end of this week. The retail for $219.99 CND.
Is the above advice correct ? Has anyone connected a USA SPEC unit to a Canadian MDX ?
Since the HON2 requires connection to the head unit, this is somewhat less attractive to me, but at the end of the day I just want the right part and as much functionality and integration as I can get.
Thanks !
