I dont think you can use this if you have the cd stacker since this thing plug into the cd stacker plug at the back of the radio. They do sell a two input into 1 output so that you can use both the stacker and the ipod adapter but i heard this thing cost heaps. Ill let you guys know when i installed mine, should be arriving sometimes this week and installing it in a free weekend:thumbsup:

I believe it does. I did a few google searches on it before buying and there was someone in the UK with an Accord with SatNav and it worked fine.

heres a DIY for the 06' Navi.

seems pretty simple.

anyone got theirs going yet? Im interested in audio quality

UPDATE: Bugger it. I just ordered it! seehowshegoes...:)

I received mine today (at work at the moment), will have it installed by 7.

How many days since you ordered it?

Im wondering if I can work out how to install it. I have the CD rom manual but no experience.

Took two days, usually overnight. I will post a few pics, looks very easy to install. Four Screws and a few clips.

All in and working fine, very happy. Quite easy to install and sound quality is actually better then I expected!

This youtube video helped a fair bit;

It is of an Icelink install into a US Accord. The only differences with ours is the shift knob removal and the connection for the unit is actually on the underside of the head unit so there's no need for the mirror. I decided to place mine in the glovebox and easily routed the cable through the right hand side. Very easy, no need to cut or drill anything. I didn't worry about disconnecting the battery either. Whole install took approx 20 minutes.

The only problem I came across with the unit was that it didn't like my Sandisk USB drive. I think it might have had something to do with the built in security software on the drive, who knows...

OK.

Mine arrivied. i think I can install it but I have a few questions:

A) Do I leave the unit in behind the dash and re-route the usb lead somewhere like the glove or centre compartment?
B) Did you tape the usb lead to the box as it doesn't feel very secure?
C) If you route the USB lead to the centre console or glove do you have to drill a usb sized hole??
D) Is it possible to put the unit itself in the centre console or glove and not use the usb extention?

Ie what did you guys do?

A) I didn't use the USB extension cable. The main unit is in the glovebox and the wire harness goes straight into the head unit.
B)I secured mine on the back inside the glovebox with velcro (the ones with sticky stuff on the underside).
C)If you route the USB lead to the centre console you will need to drill a hole. The glovebox will be fine.
D)YES. My take on the extension cable if for the connection to the PC in the case that the USB on the PC is located on the back. In this case you can use the extension cable without having to reach the back of the PC to plug in your USB drive.

Awesome. Ill hack into my car now. Ive got the drill,dremel and fumblefingers all warmed up. Wish me luck.
