Unfortunately not..you'll need the MP3 attachment part # 08A06-4E2-200. It's a MP3 CD player located in the empty storage bin below the center console. Cost is about $400.

Dont get the acura MP3 attachment. @$400 it's way overpriced and doesn't even display song titles. At this point yuo're better off burning your MP3's as CD and stick them all in the 6 disk changer.

Or... you can wait until acura figured out what's wrong with the 06 iaudio thingie since most are having trouble with it.
But IMHO the $400 is really not worth it.
Or... just activate the XM radio. It's got more channels than i know what to do with.

What does one need for jacking in an iPod on an 06?
Thanks.

I would prefer to use my MP3 CDs vs buy an Ipod.

Don't bother if you don't have anything to add to the topic at hand.
God forbid someone should want to find out things before they buy a car.

Let the guy get his info right. He's doing his homework before buying the car. Can you blame him for that?

But your asking about this BEFORE you have the car is kind of "weird"
It's like checking out a house you want to buy and you focus on studying the toilet bowl.
or getting a big thick steak and you asking the waiter about grill marks
If you are REALLY interested - get over to the dealer and study, think, play, meditate all you want.
And forcryingoutloud Who TF is still using MP3 discs anyway ???!!!
You gotta be the biggest dumbfawk if you get the $300 OEM MP3 player/attachment kit.

:whocares: WTF does it matter to you anyway? If you don't like the guy or what he says, stay out of the thread. Go troll somewhere else.
Let him gather all the info he needs. This site is for just that.

Don't spend $400 on a marginal quality head unit that doesn't even have a display capability. You can use one of the ipod adapters, or if you want something permanent in your car, get a good Alpine MP3-capable head unit for about $200, or a Phatnoise trunk-mounted mp3 player, better yet if you can find one (necessarily used), an Empeg. There's a post in the A/V section about how to use the SNHOND3 adapter and some cleverness to use a third-party external head unit (it's designed for an ipod but should work to connect the RCA outputs of any stereo that has em) even if you have a nav system on the '04.
PS: people who say the stereo is not an important enough property of a car to be worth checking out before you buy it are uncultured philistines at best

If I can mount that & hook it up properly then I'll go that route. Otherwise, I guess I have to buy a damn Ipod.
