Does anybody know if the 04 headunit w/o XM and Navi have the ports for a external CD-Changer??

Im in my planning of my carPC so just want 2 make sure that Im gonna be able to use car2pc HON1 model.

Thanks!

 

As far as I know all 3G TLs (US and Canadian) have the CDC plug in the back of the head unit. You can check for yourself by performing a search for members with aftermarket interfaces (PIE X3, USA Spec PA11-HON2(y), Blitzsafe, etc). All of the interfaces connect to the CDC plug.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, I just received a mail from car2Pc guy, he says that If I have the CDC , it's gonna work for sure.

Et voilà! If you guys are searching for a car2Pc adapter just visit car2PC
and check the model that fits your need.

Thanks again man!

 

VmtSquad,

Have you been able to get your car2pc to work with your acura? I have the 05, and so far I'm not having any luck.

 

I believe car2pc works on TLs with no navi...but having issues with the TLs with navi. I have tested and got it to work with the navi but have to do the "delay" method...u'll have to turn on your car, turn on the radio then wait at least 10 -20 seconds, plug in the car2pc unit onto the XM connection port behind the radio. You can then switch to CD-C by pressing Tape/CD twice. Car2pc is working on this issue and hopefully they will have a fix soon.

 

Well, I still haven't been able to get mine to work with the non-navi, but I haven't tried the delay option. Once you do that does it work for good, or are you screwed once you switch from CD-C mode to radio?

 

If u do the delay trick, it will stay on CD-C even you turn off and turn your car back on. But once you switch to other source to radio or CD, then you screwed and have to unplug the unit to do the delay trick again. At least that's what happened on mine. I am thinking of hooking a relay to switch the power wire of the car2pc unit manually so I can delay the power up of the unit to see if it will work. Haven't try this method yet becase the guys at car2pc said that they will have a fix soon...it's been over 2 weeks and still have no answer yet.

 

That would really suck. I've been talking with the Car2PC guys and this is the last email that I got from them:

That doesn't look too promising, though I would really like for it to work *sigh*
