No More iPod Music Link For TSX?
We had the iPod Music Link installed by an Acura dealer in our 06 TSX despite the negative reviews. When I leave my ipod plugged in, when turning on the car, the iPod and whatever XM station was playing on XM2 came on simultaneously, with the CDC (disc changer) information displayed. See my problem post:

Went in for service in an attempt to fix this issue and talked with the service team lead who told me that (1) this is a software glitch and currently not fixable; and (2) Acura is no longer selling the Music Link for the TSX because of this glitch. He told me that the Acura/Honda engineers in CA are working on a fix -- they don't know whether it is a head unit issue, or the Music Link adaptor unit. Can anyone confirm?
Fortunately, the dealer is giving me the option of waiting for a fix or de-installing with a refund.

OK, I missed that the first time I read it. This is very bad news - I was just getting ready to purchase one of them. Did they say that they discontinued it ONLY for the TSX? If so, that would most likely indicate a problem with the head unit. Not good.

My guess is that it is a HU issue with how the call is made when the HU boots up. But there no overlap between XM1 channels and the Music Link. And, there is no overlap between the CD changer (playing discs) and XM1 or XM2. It only occurs with the Music Link and XM2. This gives me some hope that it can be fixed with firmware/hardware for the music link adaptor unit since it appears to use the CD changer input (CDC indication, etc.).

I just installed my music link a couple of days ago. I been trying to reproduce the same problems you have but mine works perfectly. No XM bleed thru.
I can also confirm that Acura sent out a bulletin saying that the music link wasn't compatible with the TSX (I'm guess because some ppl ran into your problem)

If it doesn't use the dock connector then I am also interested in it.

This was actually my first ipod and it was meant to be an introductory one. My feeling is that within a couple of years, flash memory will power the big ipod and maybe there will be some features that will allow me to control it remotely.
Ipod listening represents approximately 90% of my listening time in my TSX. I look forward to the future.
