iPod integration!!

hi.

wanted to fill in folks on my new project. today i'm getting the Dension IceLink:Plus for my '05 accord (from logjam electronics www.logjamelectronics.com). it will replace the XM on my factory stereo, and has a ton of features:

ipod control from the head unit (and sterring wheel controls!) including playlist selection, track advance/rewind
automatically play/pause when iPod input is selected
charges iPod (for 20mins after car is shut off too!)
text display of track information on the factory stereo (for XM-enabled, which mine is)

a downside for some is, you have to disconnect XM...i don't subscribe anyway, so no problem there...

anyway, it will be arriving in an hour or so, and i'm doing the install myself (with the help of http://distantcreations.com/accordipod/). if this works as advertised, i'd recommend it to everyone. updates to follow...


when is that UPS truck gonna get here?!?!?

well, i drive an accord, so the link above is a DIY for this.

the text display does not work with my radio...sigh. it's still displayed on the iPod itself.

sound quality is vastly superior to the FM transmitter, and it's a clean install. took me 20 minutes. i removed the console pieces and plugged it in. no wiring at all.
