I'll be picking up my new 2006 LX Sedan on May 26 once I'm done with school. Very excited! Went with Galaxy Gray.
Had a quick question on the stereo. When you play an MP3 CD, does the song information get displayed on the display? If it does, does it pull it from ID3 tags or from file names?
Thanks! I'm sure I'll be posting around here often. Seems like a great site

Are those mainly for the DX model that come with no stereo? It doesn't seem like it adds any functionailty over the stock stereo that comes with the LX/EX/etc, but it just piqued my curiosity. Thanks!
Congratz on the car, I am getting the exact same thing this Friday, picking up I mean.
Awesome! You'll have to let me know how it is!
I just emailed my sales guy and had them add on the AUX audio port to the LX. Much cheaper and more verstile than the iPod link thing. REALLY getting anxious to get the Car... a month from today...
^^^ Why a month, did you special order?? A month would kill me, me waiting from this saturday was a pain in itself, getting it tomorrow.
Because I'm in school right now and am getting it when I get home. Where I'm going to Grad school there's little reason to have a car, but I'll need it for when I start my job in May and when I get married in June. I suppose tests and papers should drown out my anticipation, but it's not.

Nope, that stuff would not get my excitement down. It would kill me to wait but good things come to those who wait.
I just picked mine up, love it, can't wait to get it on the road a little more other than a boring commute from work and back.
I have a long trip for camping coming up, to upstate NY, that should be real fun

It shows each song with the navi display and if you have them sorted into seperate folders you can see that also. I usually have pretty detailed info on my ID3 tags but also use just the song title as the filename for each mp3. Not sure about the regular stereo.

Well, an update with my dealer for today. I asked him if the add-on aux port for the stereo ( http://www.collegehillshonda.com/sto...an/auxjack.jpg ) could be installed on the left rather than the right to save on cable mess. He said the accessories guy wasn't sure, but if possible, he'd put it on the left.
Also, I asked if they could not put their little "College Hills Honda" sticker on the back end of the car. He said no problem. I figure it's no big deal; if they forget I'll just hairdryer it off.
Also, I should be getting the VIN number any day now so I can kick things into gear with my insurance. It's getting so close! I can't wait!
Really happy with my expierence with this place. If anyone is looking for a Honda in northern or eastern Ohio, I recommend them whole-heartily at this point.

The aux port on my EX came on the left of the center stack right under the 12 volt outlet. I have had a hell of a time finding the right cable for it. I found a Belkin cable at Circuit City but it is only 6 ft and I think I need about 10 ft. Do you use an MP3 player or Ipod?

The EX's built in port is in a nicer position in my opinion than the accesory port installed on the LX, but I really couldn't afford the EX so this is a great soultion. Only $130 or so to have it installed, when it would've been closer to $1500 to get the EX over the LX.

Hey, good news! My car arrived at the dealer today! Still 15 days before I'll be home to go get it, but it's there waiting for me now
I signed up for the Honda Owners Link and thought I had rad that you could download a PDF of the owners manual through that site. Is that not true? I couldn't find anything other than ordering it on CD or another book.

Galaxy Gray w/ AUX audio port added
I've got an aux port in my center console/adjustable armrest (behind the dual cupholder, along with a 12v port too (cig lighter).
I don't currently own an ipod but was thinking of getting one.
So I'd be able to get one of those 1/8" male to male cables that you linked to, plug it into my ipod and into the aux port and be able to listen to the ipod through the car's stereo system?
If so, that's pretty cool and would cost me waaaay less than installing a 10 disk cd changer in the trunk.
I'll be ipod shopping if this is the case...please let me know if this is what you mean.
Thanks!
Went with Galaxy Gray.
