Gday,
Just wondering if in my '05 Odessey I can replace the stock OEM 6 cdstacker with one that can do mp3 cds?
I have a large mp3 collection and its a shame to have to reburn everything back to normal cds again just to listen to in the wife's car.
If anyone can recommend a drop in replacement that would be awesome.
There is also the aux in plug, I spose I could get an mp3 player and plug it in there - I don't have a large ipod or anything though, so a cd based solution would be best.

If its the same head unit as the Euro then you can get a Honda MP3 add-on but its very expensive, being a genuine accessory. Dont be surprised if a dealer quotes you $1000 for it lol

Alternatively, you can buy a XCarLink USB Adapter for $155 that plugs into the AUX input and lets you plug in a USB memory key filled with your MP3's (you can buy 4GB/8GB/16GB ones quite cheap) which you can control through the stock honda head unit and steering wheel buttons.
