Yep - I want one but trying to justify the cost. Just ordered one of those new Sony mp3 players HD5 - get it next week - will wait and see if I need it in the car. SNHOND3 or equivalent costs around $145AUD shipped. Not cheap so I will probably wait until I am travelling next year.Quote:

All it does is connect an external device to a head unit - something I thought a stock unit should be able to do anyway!Quote:

Hi Guys,
I got my AUX converter installed. Sorry I dont have pics for that.
But I am pretty sure that the one i bought from this website
http://www.autotoys.com/x/cust/prod...00&cat=0&page=2
works on our Accord Euro!
I think its the same one as Learner got, just different brand name thats all!
Hi Tako-calvin - Autotoys do not ship to Australia. Not sure why they shipped it for you - they said a definate NO for Australia.Quote:

Airmail Parcel Post$40.94Global Express Mail (EMS)$45.00Global Express Guaranteed Document Service$91.25Global Express Guaranteed Non-Document Service$97.50
Hmmm - I guess I would want Airmail which takes it to $126USD or around $170AUD. I have emailed these guys to check the shipping - it is a small unit so not sure why the estimator thinks $40US is the right shipping fee.

Far out - can't believe I am thinking about paying $170 for some cables.
He he he... maybe I was just lucky!
But in the AutoToy website, it did mention that they do ship their goods to oversea. Please refer to this page,

Im glad to hear you found it from the other website that takes international shipping though!
Something you might need to know when you install it to your HU.
When you plug the AUX converter into the 14 pin connector at the HU, it wont work straight away when you push the CD/AUX button on the HU!! You need to get your Ipod or some other Mp3 Player or CD player to plug in with the cable and play song. so then that signal can enable the AUX funtion for the HU!!
Anyway! It need some signal to send to the HU to enable the AUX funtion on the HU!
Good Luck and enjoy!
Thanks man

Well after a hell of a lot of stuffing around, my SNHOND3 is FINALLY, DEFINENTLY on its way across the ocean.
Honestly, it shouldnt be so hard to order this bloody thing.
Anyway, if anyone wants to buy a SNHOND3 easily, I can recommend a bloke named Jason French who runs a car hifi joint in California, email him on auburnfrench@yahoo.com.
Tell him DJ sent ya.
What sort of price inc shipping?Quote:

Either way its cheaper than buying a new deck, and I personally think taking out the storage compartment to add an after market deck uglies up the interior, so for me, I see it as reasonable value. Will post pics once i have the ipod installed.
Just checked, its $114.95 + $25 US. Yes you can find them cheaper online, shame none of them will ship the bloody thing....we are really only talking about $15(ish) more here.
