What mp3 players are supported on the USB pigtail in the center console? I know creative's arent' (which would figure, because that's what I've got).

I assume it's for iPods, but are they they only thing's that you can control through the headunit?

 

what USB pigtail in the center console?

do you have the music link or something?

if it's the music link, then it's iPod specific made to interface with apple's proprietary software.

if you have navi then there's a PCMCIA slot that you can use with an adapter and a memory card to browse and play music from.

 

I've got an 09 SI. :dunno: I didn't pay for any options. I'll take a picture of it tonight. It's just a gray USB pigtail in the center console.

 

my 07 si didn't have anything like that

so it looks like this with the USB symbol and everything?

 

Yep. It's got a cover that says USB on it and it's a standard USB Plug. I plugged in my Creative player and it recognizes it, but when you click on the aux button on the radio it displays a "Not supported" message or something like that. I tried to take a picture with my phone, but it came out really poorly. I'll get a decent one later at home with a better camera.

 

My 09 I have a phillips MP3 hooked up to it. also have had an Ipod Touch hooked up... both worked with no issues...

 

you have a USB input in your center console too, or are you just talking about the aux in jack?

 

09 come with usb inputs in the center console. where have you been?

ok. good info. now are you going to answer the OP's question?

 

Yes USB... standard 09

 

yeah, I got that in the previous post.

So you've had good results with ipod touch and phillips players?

 

Is bluetooth an options as well of the 09's?

 

I have read/heard quite a few times about Creative not synching with all software or devices. It's a cheaper brand so sometimes they don't synch up to everything, for whatever reason.

 

with a Sandisk 16gb flash drive for under $50 available at Costco I dont know why people just don't get that.

 

Only with nav.

 

Because sometimes, people like to be able to see the song they are playing, not just cycle through them in a random order. The flash drive would definitely be good for a party though.

 

I would think that the stereo shows the folders right? I know when I put in a MP3 disk the stereo shows the folders. I know on my flash drive each cd has its own folder.

 

So can this USB interface be integrated into the navigation of non 09 models? Or do they utilize the musiclink?

 

OK, this is weird. I just bought a used 2009 Civic LX and there's nothing in the center console. No cable, no plug, not even a hole where that stuff might go. How does this happen? Can you buy the car new and ask them not to put that in? Did the previous owner take it out because his kid was playing loud music?

 

'Cause the LX never had USB.

 

>>'Cause the LX never had USB.

Would have been nice of them not to put it in the user manual then. Can it be added?

 

Go to 8thcivi c, they have a DIY.

And, it is in the manual:
