I just bought a 2007 Honda Accord Sdn. Love it!! It came with a Visteon HD Car Cradle kit installed by the previous owner. I would like to find a way to convert this into an iPod connector with minimal invasion work on the car. I have no idea how the HD Radio works but in the back of this cradle there is a "DC In" (for power) and an "Ant Out" and an "Ant In." I essentially want an Aux form the car to my iPod. Is there anyway to do this with what I'm already given? Or do you guys think I need to buy some more parts and take out the HD Radio all together? Thanks for your help.

^that isn't as helpful as it requires removing the head unit and is 6th gen specific. the 2007 is a different method.

this is how to access the rear of the head unit for a 2007:

the cradle you have cannot be rewired for an mp3 player. the ant in is for the HD radio antenna and the ant out is for a specific FM modulator so the HD radio signal is simply injected into the factory radio antenna. this is funny because i see little benefit playing HD radio through the FM antenna system.

you need to buy a different part to do what you want. the first question, is if your factory radio has an XM button?

this is the part that adds an aux input to the OEM radio, provided you have an XM radio button.
