Thanks

Looks like Nadz is back in the highlands ! still no news...

Hi Nighthawk

Did you ever get a reply? I emailed them twice and never got an answer.
Now that the FM transmitters are legal I am considering buying one of those.

Why don't you go the Dension route??? That's only just over 90 quid, and has been proven on here to work a treat, and is neat and tidy.....

Seems a doddle to fit yourself too.

Not quite a doddle.....as it involves removing half the dash!!! But yes, it does seem the dension is the best option on cost. And with more functionality than the official ripoff Honda one.

removing half the dash isnt hard - honestly! Check my guide here:

[HOW TO] Install the Dension Icelink>Plus

I read your guide.....and I am afraid to a clumsy bloke with a short temper I would end up with a half destroyed dash and the bloody thing would still not work!!!

However I was tempted by your offer of free fitting...in fact I think I would rather spend £30 on petrol getting to Sussex than pay for someone at Halfords etc to do it!!!

Yes. The above and the loom, will cost you about £200 though.

I know it's from the US and it's in the Hybrid, but this video should give you a flavor of the Music Link...

PS You don't get the text to speech software in the UK.

Foggy69 · 16th May 2007, 16:07

Wow, the US get a PC Card reader and Aux connector fitted to the Civic.

Looks like a very good system, good (not really) to see that Honda charge other non UK customers highly for their accessories too.

The UK music link doesn't - AFAIK - offer full integrated iPod control. If it does, I'd like to know how, but can't see anything in the manual.

The US version (discontinued, last I heard) uses some terrible Text To Speech method of alphabetically going through Playlists and Artists, so offers more control than the UK version. However, I've not read a good review on the unit.

The UK version lets you select 1 of 7 playlists, play tracks randomly. Alternatively, it continues to play whatever you were playing when you connected the iPod to the Honda.

I downloaded the TTS software, but it didn't seem to do anything with the UK audio unit.
