Honestly it is a little sad how popular ass gets kissed, I guess this is a Hs thing till death do us part.

In reality, an aux input would be sufficient for non media related press.

$250 isn't bad for the amount of integration with the other systems in the car. I'd be willing to pay for it.
I paid $2k for a navi which I think was worth every penny, and you know what, I'd gladly shell out $250 if it means being able to use the navi screen to navigate playlists, select songs by artist, etc. with the iPod itself neatly tucked away in the glovebox recharging.

And all this on the 06 TSX makes it a hell of a nice deal. I'd expect it on the TL/RL, but the TSX sure is being treated nice for 06. I guess they're feeling the pressure from the new IS!

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.

sounds pretty definitive it's 2006 & forward only

iTrip sounds like shit and in some areas (like around here) the FM bands are so congested that it's hard to get a good transmission unless the ipod is next to your antenna.
Besides, this thing in the 06's isn't just for iPods as I read it, it's essentially an OEM aux input in the console for any MP3 player.
