Saw this while on another topic in a different thread. Check out this link for Honda UK:

Click on "Exterior Styling." Not sure why Bluetooth is considered "exterior," but there it is at the bottom of the list - options for Bluetooth kits for the Accord Saloon (TSX). It's not cheap at all (about £302 installed, no price given for just the kit), but it would be great to have this in the TSX.

Anybody know anything about this kit? Any Brits out there who have this? It would be nice to know if it could be made to work in the TSX. There are different versions of this depending on which sound system you have in the Accord Saloon, so it's feasible that the TSX sound system may not have the necessary voice-in/mute function.

What do you guys think?

THe TSX has a mute pin on the back of the HU that is unused nd empty (the optional phone kit was ditched for the US at the last minute - I'm sure it would have had a pin to plug in there).

I am curious about the HU firmware, though... but this pin worked on 2004s if you stuffed a wire into it. It's since been found that that wire pin is the same as in the Honda radio plug, so we know where to get a lot more of those...

But yeah, where can we get these things?

I'm sure we could probably get them from England, but the exhange rate is, shall we say, not in our favor.

What about you Aussies on the forum? Can you guys get this part?

i can spare probably 5-6 of those pins from one of my spliced connectors if anyone needs em

I've tested the mute pin myself and it works in my 2004.

Beoshingus

Yeah man, can ya hook me up?

Our Accord Euros don't have BT as an option... We get the worse lot. No heated mirrors, no 200hp (ours is 187hp) and our 2003 and 2004 models came with 16" wheels. The 2005 Luxury model now has 17".

So with these pins, could you hook an aftermarket bluetooth handsfree device in there and have it work through the speakers? Or would this just mute the audio when a call comes in?

elduderino

It's a mute wire. I don't know about creatingthe rest... but I think cell-over-stereo-speakers is overrated.

the mute pin will just mute the audio when a pin comes in.... except if your nav is runnign. A weird exception to the fact. Go the av forums and search for 'bluetooth' you'll get several install thread results. And if anyone needs a pin pm me.
