Ipod interface

Hi I have a 2002 TLS with Navi and I want to connect me new ipod directly to the stereo. I have researched a lot of these threads and from what I see the Blitzsafe seems to be the best choice. I don't want to deal with any of the issues that the other brands seem to have. My question is, does anyone know the difference between BlitzSafe HON/M-Link1 DMX V.1 and BlitzSafe HON/M-Link1 DMX V.1D? It seems that both are specified for my car...so which do I get?

Thanks for the help.

Do you have the Bose 6CD in dash changer/cassette combo? I have that set up along w/ factory navigation and I've been getting mixed answers on if these adapters work. I've chatted w/ Nick@DICE on here and their set up DOES NOT work w/ the set up I have in my car..

I do have the factory Bose with 6 disc in dash. I bascially just want to hook up my ipod direct. I have read a lot of these threads and have concluded that the Blitzsafe will work best for what I have. I just don't know which one of those to get. Not sure what the difference is. I wrote an email to enfig car stereo and asked them, but have not heard back yet. Was hoping someone on here might know the difference or what I need to get.

Try the USASPEC. Call Enfig, it should be faster as they were quite friendly and helpful.

What or who is Enfig? Is he a store or seller off of eBay or something? And would you happen to have the number handy?

All this information is just a Google away.

I have a 2003 Acura TL with in-dash 6-cd changer, installed the Blitzsafe - HON/M-Link1 DMX V.1 a few years back, works beautifully still. When I installed it I took someone's advice I read somewhere (most likely here) and felt around the back of the stacker blindly until I managed to get it plugged in back there without having to take the whole stacker out .. took ~20 minutes.

Just got a reply to this message:
"Dear stereosource,

I have a 2002 Acura TL w/ factory navigation AND the Bose in dash 6disc changer/cassette combo. Is this PA11-HON compatible with my car?


- tmdynastyaccord"

And this is what I got....
"StereoSource (************@*********.net)

No, it is not. Thanks."

So the Blitzsafe seems to be the safest bet, the DICE R2 and the USA Spec PA-11 are not compatible. Still looking around though.

Try disconnecting the antenna from behind the radio. Mine wouldnt take the code either untill i unplugged that fucker. Sucks cuz you have to remove some panels

I just picked up the BlitzSafe from Enfig today and it's been great so far. The thing is tiny and can be easily installed by just taking out the passenger side panel.

I have a 2002 TL Type-S with Navi and in-dash 6-disc changer.

I am a complete newbie when it comes to cars. I purchased the Blitzsafe model BLITZSAFE_HON_AUX_DMX_V1 Blitzsafe HON/AUX DMX V.1 about 8 months ago for about $60 from Enfig. I used a link from this site on how to take apart the center console and get the thing installed. (I think the thread was for a CL, but it was the same for a TL). (I mainly opened up the center console because I was also going to wire a power supply to the cig lighter in the armrest).

In about 2 hours I was completely done. I'm sure other people got it done in about 10 minutes, though. Amazingly simple, and I think the sound quality is great. Since it gives you just a normal set of stereo right/left input jacks, you can plug in just about any stereo audio device (IPod, other mp3 player, satellite radio, etc).

Just remember, the Blitzsafe model I mentioned above is just for audio. No control of your device is provided by this model.
