Blitzsafe for IPOD
#81
I just order the haines piece mentioned above...it hooks up the same way and it allows track changing via the OEM radio. now I can just have my ipod chillin in the glove compartment instead.
The cost was $95 and I spoke to Charlie on the phone. He had one instock.
I love it baby!!!!!

Also one more quick question...what is the best way to bring in an aux audio line? The reason I ask is I hook up the dvd converter module, I would most likely run the audio into the aux line, rather than use some stuipd FM transmitter.
Does the blitzsafe model offer an aux in along with the ipod or is it either or?

I know that they have an aux in converter but I do not rember if they have both for our TLs.
As for the guy 2 posts above, you cannot see the track name on the screen of the radio with any adapter in the TL so you may want to mount the iPod so you can see it without opening your glove box.

i am thinking of getting this unit as well, my only concern is having 2 outputs, i was thinking of picking up this unit instead..
http://www.logjamelectronics.com/soundauxmsthd1.html
i guess i can connect my ipod by plugging it to the rca cables with the 3.5 mm splitter from the earphone output http://factorydirect.ca/catalog/prod...code=CSTEREO-A
and still have one output for a satellite radio
what do you guys think?
is this the best way to have the best of the two worlds??
oh man they dont ship to Canada

All you have to remove is the passenger wood trim and knee panel. You can definitely get to the input that way. The entire install took me about 15 minutes!

-YES you can still use your CD player. Your CD button acts as a switch between your IPOD and your CD player
-YES you can still use your steering wheel controls for the volume, but NO you cannot use your steering wheel controls to forward songs in your IPOD with this particular adapter.
The correct model number for our cars is HON M-LINK DMX V.1 interface
In my opinion this is a much easier install than most think, and Blitzsafe has the best value. I got mine on a site for $75 shipped.
Anyway, I know all of this has been said on many other threads, but there were so many threads with conflicting "facts". So those were my facts and findings. I know how it is to read through all of the threads after doing a search and still saying...HUH? For anyone thinking about doing this...DO IT! You won't be sorry!

Is this the right one?
Any idea who could install this for me as I would probably butcher it. Thanks for the help.

So is it impossible to install blitzsafe adapter for ipod and trunk mounted oem cd changer at the same time? I have '99 TL with navi and trunk mounted changer and I want to install the ipod adapter but keep the trunk cd changer also.
Is there any way to do this?

First of all - Great thread! I just upgraded and bought a new iPod.... my old mini sucks. AND I've been using a tape adapter, which, well... just sucks too. So - I'm about to order the blitzsafe adapter for my 02 TLS Navi, and I read that great PDF someone posted from the CL's icelink adaptor. My question - before I buy the blitzsafe, is where do I put all the hardware? Is there room behind the headunit? Since I wont be able to control the ipod with the steering wheel controls, I'd like to bring the wires through the center console, so I can keep the ipod in the cup holder area. If someone can just tell me about where they placed the blitzsafe hardware (pictures on the website don't give an accurate size description I wouldn't think), I can go ahead and get the ball rolling and order my adapter!
Thanks again for all the info!

I was able to fit everything behind the radio and used a holder from proclip to hold my IPOD. Sorry I don't have any pics but if I remember correctly you will have more than enough wire to run it from behind the radio up through the console.

Any answer for my question? I guess that is impossible then..

Instead of sticking with this unit (its ordered and on the way) I found a cable that goes from ipod dock to video output (red, white and yellow rcas) as well as provide charging for the ipod. Since i don't need satellite I am getting a single input RCA adapter (ebay) and will hook up the red and white to this. Now the I have an extra yellow cable (video)...this will get fed back to the trunk and I will use this as a video source for my navi unit along with a back up camera (dvd2nav). Now I dont't need to get another dvd player...just load all of my videos on the ipod and control directly from ipod.
Let me show you what I bought

IPOD dock Video cable
Let me know what you guys think

Thats what I was thinking too... about the switch.
And I went ahead and ordered the blitzsafe. So excited! Is the sound clear just like a CD would sound? I have the tape thing and dispise it.... its awful!

05 Acura TL: a-spec
When I bought my car apparently the guy before me installed the blitzsafe for the NAV2DVD thing. So after a little digging I found this....
Now, I want to hook an iPod up to my blitzsafe adapter, but there is no ipod cord... nor do I see a place to plug an iPod cord into the blitzsafe. Do I have to buy a different blitzsafe unit?

Since you won't be running your DVD and ipod simultaneously...you should be fine. On ebay I think I have seen a RCA/charging cable that will allow you to have the clear sound as well as charging option.

This is a GREAT and VERY helpful thread! BUT... Can someone confirm that this is the route I should go?
I am attempting to hook up both my Sirius Radio AND my ipod (20 gig, non-video)
in my '02 TL with Navi and in dash cd changer.
I'm told that this is what I should get the following items:
Blitxsafe HON/AUX/ DMX V.1 - Auxiliary Input Converter $69.95
http://www.logjamelectronics.com/blitzhonauxdmxv1.html
THEN I believe that IF I also want to hook up my ipod I must get:
Blitzsafe UII Universal iPOD Interface $59.95
http://www.logjamelectronics.com/blitzuii.html
I want to "HARDWIRE" the power on the Sirius Radio, so I've heard that I could use the cig lighter adapter that it comes with, cut off the end and wire it directly to the back of the car cig lighter or power jack in the dash.
IS THIS A GOOD IDEA FOR THE POWER SOURCE?
To Mount the Sirius radio my plan was to use this:
"Pro-Fit" VSM Bracket $36.95
This connects just to the right of the radio where others are using the KUDA mount.
http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/vsm.html
I would try and come up with some way to run the power cord and anntena for the Sirius radio out of the consol area I guess?
Now as far as mounting my ipod, My plan was to run the wires through the center consol and keep the ipod loose in the top arm rest.
I really DO NOT like wires running all over the car in plain view!
I'm I going in the right direction??
ALL ADVISE IS WELCOME & APPRECIATED!

I'm looking to hardwire an iPod to my 2002 TL. Was curious- if I go with the Blitzsafe, do I have to hook the unit into the fuse box, or does the one cd-changer port on the back of the radio handle power as well.
#106
I found the way.. I bought P.I.E X3 with P.I.E X3 HON98 harness. This can connect to my CD changer port and my trunk CD changer can connect to this unit.
This unit provides three additional RAC inputs, and I can switch among my external CD changer, input 1, input 2, input 3. haha Hopefully this will work.

I would (and did) use the Kuda mount. I know it is expensive but there is ample room inside to run cables fully out of sight. www.kudausa.com Ill post a pic soon of it in my car with an iPod.
#108
What would I need for a 2000 Acura with cd changer in trunk to install an Ipod and also the cd trunk changer? Does anyone have photos of how they installed the P.I.E. unit (X brain)? Thanks

Oh man,
so i finally got around to installing my black blitzsafe adapter on the TL today. I can't imagine life without it. I thought that an FM transmitter or a tape deck transmitter was the only way to go - boy was I wrong! This thing sounds amazing! I friggin love it. It could only be more perfect if I could advance the song with my button on the steering wheel! But I don't really care about that, I'm just glad it sounds crystal clear, loud, and fantastic!!!!!

I have an 02 TL-S.
USA Spec adapter is similar to blitzsafe, but different company. Here is the unit I want/ will get soon: http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_s..._PA11_HON.html
The above USA Spec adapter has 1 iPod input, and 1 set of audio inputs (red/white for the dvd player sound). You may be able to shop around for a better price.

Why can't I find the correct adapters for the Acura TL 2000. I have an '03 and purchased the Blitzsafe since I have the cd changer in dash and I installed this to the CD trunk changer input behind the radio as noted in previous posts and it works like a charm. Now my brother has an 2000 with changer in the trunk and I am trying to look for the correct units to allow his ipod to work and in trunk dash. I don't see the 2000 year for the units I need. Also I read about the PIEX where does that get mounted? Thanks
#116
So I installed my ipod adapter into my acura over this weekend. The stuff I got from ebay (integration solutions) didn't work. It clicked into the back of my head deck and registered when I hit the CD button but wouldn't play anything from my ipod. Also after selecting aux input, i couldn't go back to the normal cd or radio.
I also tried my other solution...hianes enterprise and it worked flawlessly. From the steering wheel, i can select playlists and then go through songs. Full control from the oem controls. I could also still control from the ipod directly and it charges it also.
Later on in the day for some reason it did stop working, i think the wire came loose at the interface so now i gotta take off the right side trim pieces and make sure it's all secure.

I also tried my other solution...hianes enterprise and it worked flawlessly. From the steering wheel, i can select playlists and then go through songs. Full control from the oem controls. I could also still control from the ipod directly and it charges it also.
Later on in the day for some reason it did stop working, i think the wire came loose at the interface so now i gotta take off the right side trim pieces and make sure it's all secure.

honestly the haines adapter worked great...I just gotta follow-up with the installation to see what went wrong. I am pretty sure the ipod wire that plugs into the interface box came loose.
I think the best part about it is the oem control feature. i ran the wire to the center console and without making any cuts, i was able to fish it in there. very clean install if i say so myself.
