2010 Civic stereo, USB and iPod question
I just bought a 2010 Honda Civic Coupe DX-G (in Canada) and I got them to include the i.Linc Kit for iPod connectivity.
The i.Linc Kit allows the stereo to see my iPod as though it's a CD changer, and so I create 8 playlists "Honda1", "Honda2", and so on ... and flip through them like they are CDs.
However, the LX model ($2000 more) comes equipped with a USB connector in the arm rest, and when you plug an iPod into it (via a USB-to-iPod) cable, you can browse songs by title, artist names, album titles, and playlists right from the display on the stereo. It's pretty cool.
My question is: Is the stereo unit in the DX and the LX the same unit? And is there a way to buy the USB cable or accessory from Honda (or elsewhere) that comes with the LX model, and use it on the stereo in my new DX-G so I can see the song titles and so on?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Re: 2010 Civic stereo, USB and iPod question
I've confirmed that the Civic DX and LX have exactly the same radio. The only difference is the LX has a built in USB connector that allows you to browse iPod by artists/song-title/playlist -- all displayed on the radio.
So my question is, how can I go about getting the parts from the LX so I can use the USB connector in my DX?
Thanks!
