Sorry if this specific question has been answered before; I have searched and couldn't find an answer.

Honda can supply an iPod interface for 07 Euros and beyond (CL9 series). According to my dealer, who contacted Honda Australia, Honda won't say whether the interface is actually compatible with Euros prior to the 06 facelift, and as a result, they won't install it - despite the dealer confirming that the serial numbers for the radios in 05 and 07 models are identical.

Can anyone confirm that the interface is compatible with the 05 (as surely it must be, with the same radio as an 07)?

On a slightly related note, does anyone here have a Honda-fitted iPod interface and care to comment on it? How is the audio quality (mp3 issues aside) and functionality? I'd consider an Xcarlink, but I can do without the strange operational glitches that seem to affect some of these units.
