AUX in Ipod Adapter

Griffyn · 4th March 2007, 22:41

I know this is a repost but havn't been able to find any answers.

Ok ordered my Type-R last week and paid for the Ipod adapter

In my current car its hooked upto a Alpine HU and is so cool.

Had a go in the Type-R demonstrator and it played random tracks. Anyway to select an album???

Also the guy said something about making a Honda playlist???

Only plus points are you can control with steering wheel controls and means you can have X amounts of GB of music.

Ah don't be fooled by it's apparent attractions. It is rubbish. You can make 7/8 playlists named 'Honda1', 'Honda2' and so forth. You can only play these playlists so if you decided on the motorway you want to listen to the latest Garth Brooks album....no can do. I also had an alpine HU and it was excellent, full control over everything. The Honda connection is a half assed attempt to cover up the oversight in not including one as standard in the first place!

We are working on a solution, but it's not as easy as we would have hoped!

Griffyn · 4th March 2007, 22:49

I have been reading up on the solution. Does look good

But I love how you can control the Ipod on the steering wheel. It may meen I just have to delete all the crap off my ipod and then make Honda1, etc different genres for how I am feeling.

Also does the MP3 CD player play CD RWs?

why not just control it via the ipod- that way u can select what u need

I put a CD-R stuffed full of MP3s and also a CD-RW brimmed with WMAs (wanted to check it worked with both) on the test drive and it played both with no problems.

because the copper in the next car over might take a slightly dim view of you doing so...

Lozza · 5th March 2007, 11:50

Dont think its controllable anyway when linked to the car's ICE is it??

Nadz · 5th March 2007, 13:16

you can adjust the settings so u can also control it via the ipod, but as mentioned the local cop may not take too kindly to u doing so

Griffyn · 5th March 2007, 22:10

Well for off road use how can one set it up so you can use the Ipod to adjust the tracks?

There is defo now way of listening to a whole album with this peice of kit then?

Nadz · 6th March 2007, 08:38

yeah you can listen to a whole ablum. You need to go into the setup menu and then select the ipod control function (not sure what it is called). Then you can (pull over) select the song/artist/album you want and hit play!

Lozza · 6th March 2007, 08:44

Cheers for that Nadz. I think someone should write a definitive guide to this piece of kit as nobody seems entirely sure how it works.

Nadz · 6th March 2007, 09:08

Yeah I agree. Even getting into the setup menu is a bit tricky and the manual you get with the link is no use

Lozza · 6th March 2007, 09:12

Oh great...something to look forward to when I pick it up!! Seeing as you seem to know a bit more than most Nadz, do you have to set up the Honda1-7 cr*p in your itunes or does the link just convert your existing playlists to this? How much can you control through the steering wheel (apart from volume!!)?
Sorry if this has been covered,but its all bloody confusing as to just what the s*dding thing will and wont let you do!!

Nadz · 6th March 2007, 13:32

Lozza,

PM me and I can try and explain how it all works

Griffyn · 6th March 2007, 19:46

Really would love it if someone said how to do this.

Any volunteers of doing a HOW TO

amh · 6th March 2007, 20:21

I agree I would love to know how this works?

Nadz · 7th March 2007, 13:25

I will have a mess around with the setting at the weekend and will report back

markuk · 8th March 2007, 01:30

I have a creative zen vision m does it matter what mp3 player i have or can honda only install ipods? do they have it connecting to a line out on the mp3 player. also can the song titles come up on the satnav screen.

Markuk,

See here for some more info http://http://www.civinfo.com/wiki/i..._an_MP3_player

I know some Dealers will fit the connects2 or you could have a go yourself - especially if you've got an Sat Nav built in, because then you will have to pay for that extra bit of loom.

Griffyn · 3rd April 2007, 00:14

Right no-one ever got back but from what I have read:

Honda1-7 = playlists (max 99 or will start from 1 again)

Disc 8 = Random

Disc 9 = Album already playing on Ipod?

Is this right?
