Hey everyone... Newbie here, great forum.

I recently purchased a 2006 Accord EX V6 with XM and it came installed with a tape deck under the comfort controls where the storage area would be. I am looking to install an ipod interface - something similar to the USA Spec PA15HON.

First, does anyone have any suggestions on ipod interfaces?
Second, if I take out the tape deck, what can I put in its place?

Thanks for the feedback...

 

You can do what this guy did:

or if you want to replace the radio, see this thread:

Looks like this installation doesn't allow for the ipod to charge. I know there are some out there that have more features.

 

I have a 2010 TL that has the ability to play iPod via USB, aux jack and Bluetooth.

I have used all three now, and there is a discernible difference between the Bluetooth (great!), USB (great!) and aux jack (just good).

I'm just mentioning that so that if you have a choice of finding a way of using USB + proprietary Apple plug, you should choose that, IMHO.

I'm an old guy who is hardly an audiophile, but I can tell the difference.

 

I think honda accessories has the interface you might need.

 

I have the USA Spec for my Chevy Trailblazer and it's awesome!
Good product - key futures for why I bought it were the use of the iPod connector interface, charges the iPod, and allows the radio controls to control the iPod. There is also a set of RCA connectors if I ever choose to hook up something with an AUX jack (use an AUX to RCA cable) like a portable DVD player, PSP, DS,.. whatever.
The cable was long enough to pull into the CD storage console in the arm rest. I can leave the iPod out of sight in there.

 

I purchased the Blitzsafe cable. Easy install, charges ipod, and plays it through usb. Plugs right into the back of your unit

thanks for the feedback guys... any ideas on replacing the tape deck?

 

USA-SPEC is great...I have had it for my 07 accord with XM for 2 years, works wonderfully. What I like about the USA-SPEC is it gives you the ipod connector and has an extra set of L+R rca inputs so you can hook up a 3.5mm cable to connect other brand MP3 players (Zune, Zen, SanDisk, etc...)

Google enfigcarstereo, he sells the kit with every thing you need.
