Who has bluetooth in their TSX that doesn't own a 2006 model?

Can the application that is in the 2006 TSX be installed in a 2004?

I'm curious to see what everyone is using....

No, the 06 application cannot go in the 04/05 cars because of the integration with the MID in the dash. You can either get an aftermarket headunit that incorporates it or you can get one of the many car kits made by Sony Ericsson or Motorola that can be installed aftermarket. These, however, cannot be integrated with the audio system in the same manner as the OEM application.

I use the cheap way, when i forget my bluetooth headset at home. I just turn the speaker option on in my motorola L7 (quite loud) and put it on the visor and talk loudly poorman's bluetooth..

On another thread, someone linked to the Euro Accord brochure regarding a coin tray. In going through that brochure, I noticed that Honda Europe offers an aftermarket bluetooth kit (the controls appear to attach to the driver's side A-pillar) for the Euro Accord. If I had an '04/'05 TSX, I would look into modifying that for the TSX.

lol
i do the same thing with my nokia 6230i.
Place it on speaker and just talk loud. poor man's way > *

actually,I would say use the headset if you want bluetooth.I have a 06,but I figured out that the voice dial really getting up to me If my speed is over,like say 50km/h,it won't pick up right.Maybe my pronounce is poor? but,every time,I say 604,it says 600,I tried 10 times 2 days ago and I was like
Maybe I really should creat a phonebook and use the name dial feature or dial by phone first and transfer?

While the in-car application does sound nice to have and easy to use, I am thinking that a headset might just be the solution.

I do love the ghetto bluetooth though

I think tsx533 (I have the number right ? ) has the aftermarket setup. I mean the WHOLE shbang, his car is like Circuit City on wheels

Whilst I am waiting for my Accord Euro to be delivered I have been looking into this as In Aus we do not get the factory bluetooth as an option.

Here is what i have found:

There is a a harness available to use with the Motorola IHF1000 bluetooth car kit. It allows you to connect with out having to splice any wires to get power etc. It mutes the stereo when making/recieving calls and plays through your speaker system. Here is the link to the bluetooth harness.

Have ordered this harness and now am waiting for my car to arrive to see if all works.

Sambo... this looks great! Let us know how it works out when you get the harness and install the Moto Bluetooth kit. I've been looking for a clean integration for a bluetooth speaker system w/o having to pick up another headunit. The control unit for the Moto kit will probably fit in the "not an ashtray" compartment

Tsx536

Haha...almost man. It's 536. Which happens to spell K E N on a telephone key pad. Don't ask why I use that, I've had it since the days of my motorola pager

I have the Nokia Bluetooth kit. It works well, but I would recommend the Parrot 3100K. Pretty cool kit. Taps into the driver side speaker for output, or you can use a seperate speaker and mount it in the sunglass holder like I did. Also has a nice little phonebook and display. Search the a/v section a couple of people already have it installed.

CHILL

Like TSX536, I have a non-navi TSX and bought the Pioneer AVIC-N1 (Navi, DVD, MP3 CD's, Sirius, voice-activated). I talked to Pioneer and they will be releasing an add-on component for Bluetooth, which will work great since my N1 is already tapped into my speakers and I already have a mic. Anyone with this setup may want to wait.

Tsx536

Wow...great find Chill. Thanks! ^^

I will definitely get that when it comes out. I didn't even know about it. I'm also going to be upgrading to the N3 firmware soon. The new firmware will have updated maps and also a new touch screen interface for the Ipod IB100 module.

CHILL

Cool...now I gotta return the favor and thank you!

Does anyone know? is it technically possible to hook up the blue tooth car kits..such as parrot/motorola directly to the speakers (without going through the radio) ... that way, there is no need for mute and you can keep the radio on and be able to hear the caller on the speaker???

i know this sounsd stupid but the reason is because I got subs in my car that are tapped out of the 6x9's..and the 6x9's are sitting there doing nothing... plus i can probably change the 6x9's out to maybe 3-way to get high treble for better quality in voice sounds...

what do you guys think? the kit i'm thinking about going for is the parrot ck3000 evolution...

Sambo

amadeus303...... no worries will let you know how it all goes. The harness will probably get here before my car so then I will be sitting here with a harness and no car to put it in...........doh.

One of the things I liked about this kit is the no fuss install and makes it easy to remove should I choose to. Also the Moto unit is quite small, looks great and has all the features I require so made sense to give it a go.

Over here in Aus I have been able to find anyone who was willing to install a bluetooth unit that had the radio mute and voice through speakers as they all keep saying cannot be done, too hard, warranty issues etc etc. So this seemed like the perfect solution, I just hope the harness suits the Aus spec radio as they could not promise me that when I ordered it.

Once it is installed will post pics etc.

greendestiny

so your tsx has the ISO connectors in the radio???

exexexex

actually,now I start to opt for the headset.The bluetooth seems to have a glitch,not really a glitch,but to me it is.
Like,if I carry my phone into the car.During the driving,there's an incoming call,no matter I use the answer button on the steering wheel to answer it or use the one on my phone,the voice still comes out from the car speaker,which made me kinda mad. Since I leave my bluetooth on all the time,and it bonds with the car right away when I start up,sometimes I have to hang some calls up cauz my wife was sitting beside me. Same happens to the lexus cars as I tried myself these days.Tried it on a IS350,GS300, RX330 and RX350,same thing.hummm.
And plus,the voice dialing feature I mentioned before in this thread...... I will start to carry my HS850 headset tomorrow.

Sambo

Sorry forgot to mention there is one other part in this kit you need peripherals MSS . The harness replaces the standard harness in rear of HU which then allows the bluetooth kit to be plugged in. Sort of like a y cable allows 2 inputs/outputs from one device. A link to installation diagram and info.

Sorry if my explanation sounds confusing, easier to understand if looking at diagram then me trying to explain.

RyanDe680

I've heard good things about the Parrot... I just wish I knew more about A/V to do this...

greendestiny

i completely understand now.... thank you!

greendestiny

so...i got another question... how do you make certain now that when you buy the motorola ihf1000 kit...that you will be getting a Z02 harness and not the Z01 harness??

thanks!

Sambo

^^^
you cannot but even if you recieved the Z01 harness it is a rather easy job to change the plug.

Will let you know next week when my mot IHF1000 kit and harness turn up.

Again the only issue is when is my Euro getting here...........grrrrrrrrrrrh. Have to wait till monday and they should then be able to give me an exact delivery date.

Sambo

Just been told will have car on Tuesday and my kit should arrive either Tuesday or Wednesday so will let you know how it goes after the weekend when I have time to install it.

greendestiny

cool dude..i'm about to order one too! oh yea, take LOTS of pictures if you can!!!!

aparnold

I have bluetooth in my 05':

My Bluetooth DIN install

Sambo

Ok bluetooth kit arrived and has been installed. Will try to take pics tomorrow or asap.

Kit is very straight forward to install (I even recieved the Z01 harness that need cutting). Once you get around the fact we have larger hands than the men who put these together. I have only one problem in the storage box wont open fully as something is fouling it half way up. Will try to resolve this and take pics tomorrow if not asap.

I have installed the Moto IHF1000 in my 05 TSX, and it works pretty well when not on noisy highways.

I'm pretty thrilled with how I installed the controller (built into the arm rest plastic, facing the shifter), and the mic is hidden pretty well right in front of the rear view mirror. The installation looks very "OEM" indeed.

In fact, the IHF1000 has some features that the OEM kit does not have:

If the person's name is in its phone book, it speaks the name when someone calls. Otherwise, it speaks out the caller ID number of the caller. The OEM only displays the phone number on the MID. It also has nice features like instant redial, and dialing a voice tag on your phone's internal voice tags!

While I'm sure the quality of the mic is not as good as OEM, it does try to do a lot of noise cancellation. It seems to work well unless you're going high speed on a noisy highway.

I use the as-shipped speaker and mounted it above where the driver pedals are, and it sounds OK. It has options to tap into your stereo speakers, but I didn't want to mess with that.

However, it does automatically mute the stereo when a call comes in, which is great.

RogerPodacter

so what is MID? i've been away for a while. i heard that this also controls the trip computer in the 06, so i will lose that function when i swap a 06 dvd drive into an 04 tsx w/ navi. anything else i will lose?

also gonna add the factory xm into the 04, using the 06 dvd drive. and can i add the aux input from the 06?

JDMPLUS

i guess you just have to go with after market

JDMPLUS

you can try carrot 3200 or something. has display too.


motorola aren't so bad either

RogerPodacter

well i cant go with after market because i still have no control over my A/C functions, radio, cd tracks, etc. i need to gain those funtions back with an acura system. but i already ordered the parts so its project time! i ordered the 06 bluetooth as well, and integrate that

tsx 2 nv

is there a way to use the factory mic with the parrot or motorola bluetooth kit?

spoonfed

If anyone is really interested in the Parrot kits, I am going to be installing a kit into an Acura CSX. Basically the same as the Honda Civic with Nav.
The kit that was purchased is the Parrot CK3100 LCD.
There is also a harness you can buy which turns the kit into plug-and-play. Goes inline of the factory plugs and then plugs into the ISO connectors of the parrot kit.
Here are a couple of links:
CK3100 LCD
http://www.parrot.com/usa/products/ck3100-lcd
Link to harnesses:
http://www.parrotkits.com
You just select the model of car, sound system and then the Parrot model being used.
It may be a little pricey compared to the others but well worth the seamless integration.

xenonhid

I got bluetooth in my Pioneer AVIC Z2.

Its integrated and I can dial out via VOICE or From Screen's touch pad.

tsx 2 nv

spoonfed, does the CSX come with voice recognition stock?

spoonfed

Both the CSX and the Civic are the same where the NAV system is pretty much the same as the TSX minus the Bluetooth.
So you can control all NAV functions as well as the climate controls. Only the climate controls are separate from the NAV.
There is a Voice button and a Cancel button on the steering wheel.

tsx 2 nv

do you know if the factory microphone will work with the kit, or do you plan on installing the microphone provided by parrot?
