SNHOND3 look-alike?

I found this item while digging through some older threads:
http://www.autotoys.com/x/catalog/HO...d_0_p_200.html

I didn't see anyone talk about this part, so I'll ask here: does this do exactly the same thing as the Soundgate SNHOND3?

The difference for me is that this place ships to Canada (and it's cheaper than a SNHOND3 actually). It sounds and looks the same, I just wonder if there's a catch. Anyone tried this?

They don't even seem to have a catchy name for this thing, it's just "HONDA AUX INTERFACE ACCORD 2003+ & 2004+ (FOR 03+ ACCORDS and 04+ TSX) #200"

I called a local place in Ottawa and they said they could get the SNHOND3 for CAN $229, which is a LOT more even with shipping and customs.

How much is $229 CAN in US Dollars?

If you get someone from the US to send you a SNHOND3 and mark it on the custom slip as a gift...then do you still have to pay for the customs tariffs?

I have posted on this item before....it is 75 for a non nav and 115 for the nav version...which makes it cheeper in both cases than the shondo3. i have my on order right now and am waiting to test it out...stay tuned for the report.

With taxes if I buy in Canada it turns out to be about US $200. If I get it from this website I can probably save about CAN $100.

I think I'll put in an order... I just hope it fits in that compartment, from the picture it seems a little bit more bulky than the SNHOND3. Is there room left over in there after installing that one?

This works fine. I'm going on almost 8 months with mine in and have had no issues. I have installed 4 of these in other TSX's as well and they work great

I just got a new tsx with navi... should I get this one? it seems cheaper and less trouble than the Soundgate one since that has to be modded to work with the navi, right?
