The Aux in is not powered and really doesn't offer the BEST sound quality since it is not digital.

If I get that Belkin charger/player it plugs in the docking port and then transfers the audio to the aux in in a NON-digital fashion.

With my TSX it was all digital right from the docking port into the audio system via the blitzsafe.

Do I have any options like this that WON'T Screw up my NAVI and XM Radio?

OR am I stuck with the Belkin option?

do you want to hook up an IPOD or other MP3 player? Would you mind losing XM for text on the radio if you plugged in an IPOD?

you have 2 opition that are simple and effective:
USA SPEC HON2Y, this keeps XM, has AUX in, NO IPOD TEXT, AND CAN CONTROL IPOD FROM STEERING WHEEL AND CLICKWHEEL AT SAME TIME
.
DICE UNIT,
OPTION 1 KEEPS XM, NO TEXT, AUX IN, IPOD CONTROL FOR STEERING WHEEL ONLY
OPTION 2 LOSE XM, IPOD TEXT, AUX IN, IPOD CONTROL FROM STEERING WHEEL ONLY.


I might be wrong about steering wheel only for the dice unit. I have the USA SPEC HON2Y and love it, CD quality and still keep XM, plus it charges the IPOD, and is plug and play, no splicing power wires or anything, it draws power from radio and many members use it.

csmeance has given you a good summary on two popular iPod interfaces for the 3G TL.

If you are looking for other options, there is a summary for them (as well as good links to each) in the 3G TL Audio & Electronics FAQ.


BTW, the '07+ TL comes with a built in aux input. You'll really only need to buy an aftermarket audio interface if you want iPod integration or additional inputs.
