[EURO] AUX in WORK (snhond3)

[PAPZ]

does anyone have one of these unit not installed yet,
i would mind someome to open it up and check it out,
it probly just is one wire going to another wire....

ie, u should be able to wire up a direct connection easily.

possibly, if its just a few screws Ill crack mine open when it gets here, depends if its got an a/d converter in it, dunno.

Could it be that easy? The Honda port is 14 pins. I wish there was an easy way of doing this.

[xframe88]

yfin, I seriously doubt it. Someone would have figured that out OS by now Im sure if it was possible.

[xframe88]

OK I just received my SNHOND3, first thing I did ofcourse was crack it open to have a look inside, and I can gaurantee you this thing is loaded with electronics, you simply will not be making a passive pass through cable, you need to buy the electronics, accept it

[xframe88]

Well the SNHOND3 is now connected and it works great, Ill post some pictures of the install once its tidied up tomorrow

Take a look at http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?p=455677 for an alternative product that works with the steering wheel controls (Dension Ice Link Plus).

Ive just done this in my late 05 luxury and have some updates for this:
------------------------------------------------------

[QUOTE=learner]hi yfin... i got it from a frd in america.
the instruction page come with SNHOND3 is useless... it only tell u that u have to connect the SNHOND3 to the factory handunit.... but wat u have to do is just plug it in really.

since there are some ppls pm me how to remove the trays and compartments.. here is the answer.

1. remove the cover near the stick... there are 6 clips holding it. you just have to pull it up with CARE. the yellow dot in the pic is where are the cilps... if i remember it right.


>yes the dots are right!


2. remove the ash-tray (just the tray. [when u wanna clean up the ash-tray].. not the whole thing)

>this just pulls up n out.


3. after u done step1&2 .. u will see 4 screws holding the ash-tray PART.
the yellow dot in the pic is where the screws are. just un-do the screws then remove the ash-tray part.


>seems the ash tray on mine also had two clips on the auto gear lever edge, i just pulled and these got wrenched off the ashtray unit and fell into the cavity below - make sure you get them out and refit them (they has a thin tang in the centre and this fits between the bars you can see when youve the ash tray in your hand.

4 now is time to remove the middle compartment (the BOX)... just put your hands to the left and right of the box(INSIDE) then pull it out. just put your hands inside and kinda spread them outwards to go enough pressure, also kind grab on the the lower lip with thumb and forefinger…Don't pull on the door…Be very carefull around the trim as it scratches easily
(there are 2 clips holding the box... is on the left and right side of da box...)

>yes start with the door open and pull outward - lifting at the lip - but then close the door and pull out or you will break the dash clip holes as the side of the door mech inside is wider with the door open - the dash did bend but my clips holes look very rough now and i feel lucky they didnt break off.

5. plug the cable to here


>i used the dension cable and unit and it plugged right in - you will need to make sure the cables commin out of the plug are gently bent flush tho or the cupboard door will foul on them. i ran my cable up and along the right hand side and down the front of the dash pannel thats on the side of the cupboard hole. then connected the dension unit along the floor of the cavity - taping it to the existing thin protected cable in there - i also put a piece of foam in next to the sharp edges of the metalwork and fed the dension cradle cable in from the drivers footwell (unsscrew a screw up n under the dash edge, loosen the trim clip and pull out then pull towards the engine and the triangle pannel will slide out leaving you with access and the bolt that you may use to fit a bracket for the ipod etc. i did see a bracket online for this but ive not seen it again recently... im hoping to get one tho as it will make a neat install.

hope this helps - usual internet help disclaimer applies: errors and omissions excepted and if you use this advice and ruin your car then im not to be held responsible, i was only trying to help you. if you dont understand any of thisor are not confident with cars etc then please use the services of a trained professional fitter.

er mods - does someone want to add this (or a sanitised version) to the FAQ?

[TypeG]

xframe88 ... it is very very very easy to install... took me like 10 mins....
if u need more info about how to install it... you can try search on da net... there are many info about how to install it... or you can pm me if u need help.

about the quality.... is great... since i add a sub and change the 6x9 with the factory HU... i am really happy with it.

Euro factory HU support amp and sub too?

I just purchased the Denison I20 HONDA R3 and docking cable from http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_s..._HONDA_R3.html. Not cheap! But then again, nothing from the USA is.

I finally take delivery of my brand new 05 Black Euro Luxury on Thursday and I can't wait! Once I have the Denison product installed I'll let you all know how it performs....

Y'all have some nice rides by the way...

Thats where I got mine as well - took onl;y a few days to arrive - very effiecient even if pricey. Ive yet to understand how it all works but in my quick test the ipod played thru the CDC part of the HU no problem - once ive sorted out a bracket i can finally get it fully working!
