hey guys,

Has anyone "seen" the Acura Music Link yet? There has to be a picture floating around somewhere.... i searched the forum and have not seen anything. There is however, lots of speculation on whether the Music Link Adapter will display ipod track/artist info on the nav screen. A feature that would be VERY VERY nice. Does anyone have confirmation on that? As I understand it...the only car that offers ipod display integration is the bmw 5 series, an i-drive feature.

Also wondering how "integrated" this feature will be...(there are some posts on the forum that suggest the Music Link will be much like the is250/is350 in terms of a port/dock in the center console to plug into...though this doesn't seem realistic. so is it going to be a wire hanging out of the glove box? doesn't seem to fit the Acura asthetic...

any info greatly appreeshed....

 

look at google....... nvr heard of it

 

Acura Unveils iPod Music Link Accessory

Acura today unveiled the Acura Music Link iPod(R) adaptor, which allows seamless integration between iPod and Acura audio systems. The new accessory developed by Acura enables drivers to listen to their iPod in digital sound directly through the audio system in the 2006 Acura RL, TL and TSX sedans and MDX SUV. Acura Music Link allows drivers to select their music by artist, album, genre and play list through the standard controls on the audio system head unit. Additionally, the Acura Music Link adaptor will be the first to include text-to-speech capabilities or VoiceID, when searching through the iPod music library with the audio system controls.

"We are very excited to partner with Apple and offer the Music Link accessory to our Acura customers," said Stony Furutani, manager of Acura accessory marketing. "Acura vehicles are equipped with the latest audio technology and we are pleased to expand the audio experience to iPod users."

"We're thrilled to team up with Acura, to provide drivers with a seamless iPod experience," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of iPod product marketing. "Car companies are embracing the iPod, and over 30% of the cars sold in the US in 2006 will offer iPod integration."

The Acura Music Link adaptor provides outstanding sound quality while charging the iPod battery at the same time by a cable conveniently located in the glove compartment. The adaptor will be available starting in mid-December exclusively for purchase and installation at Acura dealers. Suggested retail pricing for the Acura Music Link will be approximately $250 plus dealer installation charge. Acura Music Link is backed by a full Acura factory warranty. Consumers should check with Acura dealers for specific restrictions.

iPod's are available at in the U.S. through the Apple Store(R) at www.apple.com and at selected retail outlets.

 

nobody has it yet because its not out yet, it will come out in december and can't wait, you will most likely not find a picture of what it will look like because like i said before its not out. i too agree that it will be a great feature and hopefully it goes into the center console or something where its hidden because it will be voice activated. which is even more awesome, the one thing i hope...is that it is applicable for the 04 and 05 TL, most likely you will be able to apply it to the 04 and 05 TL because everything is similair (visually) for the most part. but im hoping they won't opt to not offer it.
