I have the xcarlink and got it from sydneycarinstallers.com.au 2 weeks ago - all I can say is it's fantastic... and it allows me to control my ipod touch 2G through the steering wheel controls. I had them install it for $75, they had it done within 10 mins.
PS: i don't work for them, I just think service was great and xcarlink works as advertised. I've recommended it to all my friends.
It's fantastic! Great sound quality and you can listen to all your playlist music. One of my playlists has 180 songs and the honda unit can play them all.
Simple to install. Now just trying to figure out where to put a mounting point for my iphone 4 in the car... I'm thinking of fitting a phone holder inside the accessories compartment.
Works with my nokia ck-7w bluetooth unit which is also a bonus.
Whaere has everybody else mounted there phone/ipod in there car?
Cheaper than xcarlink and hopefully performs the same job. Will keep you guys posted
Nice find. I just ordered one too.
For anyone interested I also found the Grom aux audio input unit is on clearence special at the moment, US$50 (+ US$8 shipping). That's cheaper than eBay, etc. This is just audio only, no ipod/usb/sd/bluetooth.
Yeah theyre pretty good, they seem pretty well constructed. The only thing I've noticed is that there is a bit of lag when skipping multiple tracks or changing folders. But its no big deal

I can live with that, might be you have a slow USB/SD card? I primarily wanted it for the 3.5mm audio jack plug to connect to my Tomtom which has 16GB of MP3s on it and the FM radio approach isn't working well in this car. The SD/USB is a bonus, and possibly the USB might power my Tomtom too. Then I can hide the whole lot away in the cubby box thing under the head unit (Accord Euro) with just the screen showing, should be pretty neat.
