Best interface of stock navi systemw/Ipod ?

Are there any kits to allow a ipod to be connected with the stock audio/navi system in a TSX ??

Do any of the fm modulators work well ?

What are you guys using to play your ipods in the car ??



thanks Tim

the FM modulators suck. Some of the TSX members use the USASpec PA11-HON2Y. Just go to usaspec.com and go to the dealer locater and find a place you can buy it from.

The best ticket does seem to be the USA SPEC PA11-HON2y.

It has the Y cable needed for nav and/or XM cars, and it doesn't cause the interference with XM audio that some other units have.

If you have an 04, you can get a few more features out of a DICE module (If you have hav you will need to buy a $25 cable and the DICE does cost a bit more). None of them give you text on screen.

If you are interested in either we carry both. USA SPEC units have been backordered and we are getting more in next week. Email us at acurazine at avincar dot com.

Eldude...

Does this mean I can replace my current setup (see below) with the USA Spec interface, and GAIN the ability to control my iPod from the steering wheel controls w/o losing any nav or XM functionality? This would be great, because I can just install my adapters in my wife's MDX so that she can use her iPod too...

Current setup:
-Blitzsafe v2.x aux adapter
-Accele 8500 DVD player w/ audio routed to Blitzsafe
-PIE video iPod cable (I'd consider giving up the video output ability if I can control my iPod from the steering wheel) routed into my DVD player

USA Spec setup (Is this how it would work?):
-DVD player audio output into USA Spec HON2y
-iPod into USA Spec HON2y

If that's the case, I'll probably place an order with you Eldude...

Sorry for the questions (especially if redundant on this board) --- I've just tried SO many friggin' solutions, I don't want to waste more money than necessary!!!

Dice

Dice R3 or R4 is the best option with or without NAV.
