I saw a post in an Acura forum showing the latest DICE unit. It integrates very well with the navi, displaying track info using the XM channel.

Check this thread and scroll down for a pic. http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159814

I read (there or elsewhere) that it also works with Honda nav's.

I just put in a USA Spec PA11- Hon2y integration unit, and it is the best thing I have ever seen. I had before that a Blitzsafe which just came with a headphone adapter, but it was garbage for the iPod. When I would charge my iPod and play music you would hear a whining noise, furthermore I couldnt use my steering controls to change the track. THe USA Spec sets the iPods volume to the optimum level, and lets you control your iPod from your stereo, and even charges your iPod too. Whats even better is that all the parts that are neccessary come with it. Your XM radio wont be gone or anything. Even more reasons to get it, they refined the USA Spec system and added Hybrid mode, you can use your factory deck to switch tracks, and now with the new Hybrid mode can actually change the track on your iPod. After having Blitzsafe, and the actual OEM Honda Link iPod integration system, this is the only one I reccomend. I bought mine from a seller on ebay who offers a one year warranty on all of his products, and sends the package the same day. The guy has a whole ebay store dedicated to USA Spec products and does what I deemed a very good job. The instructions are thorough, and this seller offers a 30 day money back guarentee, I believe his eBay name is Integrationsolutions or something of that sort. Just put in PA11- Hon2y in the search field, and most probably his listings will come up. Crutchfield has been out of stock of this item for about a year now sooo its your call. Good luck.

hey everybody.

i just got a 2007 accord EX model (xm ready?) but anyhow, I wanted to get 2 auxilary inputs , one for my sirius radio and the other for an ipod. Does anybody know what adapter I need to get? I dont really care for the controls on the steering wheel or the screen text, etc. I just want the basic 2 inputs. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks, i appreciate it!
Steve

Ok all I finally decied to go with the Dice I-HONDA-R3 Gen2 its sounds great and the factory controls work, but I lost the XM not that I use it.
If you have Navi then you need the R4 kit. Trust me You Need It. Great thing about this unit is that you also have a aux-input jack.

Will a basic aux input cable supply high-quality audio transfer if it's hooked up to an ipod on one end and a head unit w/ aux input on the other end? Is it about the same quality as using a cd, or is there any difference between the two?
