Hope someone can help here. Just getting ready to order/buy a 2007 civic si. my question is: what up with the audio aux jack? Can I hook my MP3 player to it (assume thru headphone jack on my mp3) to listen to my mp3 over the cars speakers? If so, then I dont understand why anyone would be $250 for that ipod jack in the glove box.
would appreciate anyones experiences here.
thank you

if it's a standard headphone jack, then yes, you can hook it up. that's how i hook mine up in my car. you just have to adjust the volume on the ipod and the deck. with the ipod connector, you can control the ipod through the deck also. that's what the HONDA MUSIC LINK is. just throw the ipod in the glove box and control it through the deck.

If you don't get the Ipod cable at first and think you might want to get it later, they usually go for $200 retail not including install. But if you knew any better you'd shop around and get the best deal and DIY. This cable gives you full control of the ipod through the HU and charges it. The AUX will just play audio and you control it from the ipod.

Anyway, yeah you're better off just doing a DIY. It will save you $$$$$$$ and lots of it.
Actually for that much money, you could even get a medocre head unit and iPod interface.. A touch of both words I suppose.
