It's easy as long as you don't have sat nav. :)

No installation instructions other than "you plug it in". Because it's the same device used in many different Hondas. So they can't provide instructions for a particular model. Just use the pics or post here if you need help.

All you need to do is remove gear knob, pull out gearstick trim, remove ashtray, unscrew 3 screws, remove plugs for cigarette lighter and light, remove ashtray trim, remove 2 screws for CD compartment, pull CD compartment out slightly, close the cover, remove whole CD compartment.

Then you'll see the socket where you are supposed to plug the xcarlink in just below the radio unit.

thanks for that!!! last time i tried to conect a remote wire to the cig lighter, i couldnt remove the plug, ive got big hands haha see how it goes this time

Hi Guys,

I installed one of these last weekend and it has been running fine, although last night whilst the car was stationary and running it all of a sudden stopped working. There is no light flashing on the USB key either now or on the xcarlink unit istelf. Has this happened to you guys and will it recitify istelf or am I going to get into pulling the dash apart again?

Cheers.

got mine yesterday, came with instructions for my euro aswell, hoping to install it soon once i get some free time!! cant wait!

Can I assume that you can set up your ipod on random (all tracks) then use the steering wheel controls to hit next and skip through random?

couldnt you just hit random on the unit?

I have the USB version only, and yes, you just hit random on the stock unit. And the steering controls work fine. I think it should be the same for the ipod version.

Hey, I'm having a similar problem as well. I click on Aux to activate the Xcarlink. Display shows CDC but no disc or track number. Turn the radio power on/off. Nothing happens. Turn the car on/off nothing changes. Sometimes it will just start working again all by itself. Not sure what's wrong.

Also another issue I found is that after starting the car the unit will play the current song for 10 seconds and then will automatically skip to the next song regardless of whether the song has finished or not.

This is the 2nd unit I've received. Have just sent an e-mail to them asking for a resolution. :thumbdwn:
