I have a 2008 EXL V6 with navigation and I'd like to be able to put my music on a USB drive and use it in my car. How can I add one? Is there an aftermarket kit to do this? I tried searching but the term USB is too short. Any ideas? Thanks!

BTW, I want to keep the stock stereo in it and the USB slot can be hidden or in the center console.

 

Is this even possible?

 

PAC-Audio, USA Spec, and GROM Audio all make interface kits for Honda. If the car has an available Sat radio input (XM) then the interface can decode the text and display - this is typically done for iPod interfaces. Reading USB is even trickier since the format can vary, and searching is more involved - usually you won't have track data displayed. The adapters are around $200. You may have to resort to an iPod interface for ease of control.

 

That is what it seems like. iPod or nothing. I wanted the ease of the USB and also not have to worry about killing the battery in the ipod with repeated short charges then not letting it completely run down.

 

letting a battery run down was something the old NiCd had issues with. new LiIon don't have those issues, running them down shortens life, doesn't prolong it.
