Any thoughts on this Ipod integration?

Has anyone ordered anything from mp3yourcar.com? I just ordered the Acura TSX edition, looks good, im excited and can't wait, since my CD player doesn't work and all.

I just watched a Video Podcast on CarTV.com's review of this device & they showed the install being done on a S2000. It looks like a very easy install, and a solid solution for 04/05 owners without satellite radios installed.

Let us know how it turns out!

thanks, but im kinda having buyers remorse, I was stupid and didn't read about the blitzsafe, that was $70.00, The mp3yourcar one was $253.00 to work with the navi. Oh well, can't wait until it gets here

but you get a lot more control than the blitzsafe so you cant really compare them apples to apples.

Good luck with it and let us know how it works. I'm trying to decide on the best solution too. This looks pretty good. I don't think there are any iPod kits that include a stereo display. I think the navi harness is just a necessary add on to make it work with the system.

Can I bypass the CD Player instead of the satellite radio? The reason I say this is that if I can plug in my IPOD, I will no longer have any need for my CD player, but sill still have a need for my XM.

I have a 2005 TSX with NAVI.

Also, any word on if there will be a factory option to upgrade to IPOD capabilities and bluetooth?

No you wouldn't be able to bypass the CD changer.

You could probably keep both XM and the iPod, you just need the Honda Y harness (http://honda.autowebaccessories.com/...1603_15657.php) and then switch some of the wires. See picture on this page to figure out which pins to switch: http://home.comcast.net/~x3ms1/

PS: this works with the Dension iPod adapter, but it should be similar for the NEO Ion adapter. Also the switch is so that the XM does not get engine hum.

It's actually the Dension IceLink Plus, not the product they advertise on their site. I was a little concerned when I opened the box and it was nothing like what they advertised. I called to basically say WTF and send it back, but I stuck with it anyway. It works great so far. I'm not so crazy about the Dension UI; I prefer the iPod UI which you can choose to use.

ipod integration with 2006 w/Navi?

I just bought my '06 car today and am a little puzzled about this ipod kit. I asked the parts guy, he presented 3 components that would be needed to be installed, costing a total of some $200! I'm thinking maybe the parts man assumes I have a model that doesn't have an Aux input jack. There's an AUX input in the center armrest console, that looks like a mini-phone jack hole (not sure, I can't tell), but it certainly doesn't look like wiring harness connections that the parts man is presenting.

Does anybody know more about this?
