dis_guy_Aite · 08-26-06, 05:05 AM

i am wondering if they are goin to hav that for an rsx even though there isnt goin to be an 07

**TireMeltingRSX** · 08-26-06, 01:08 PM

doubtful, best bet is to buy an aftermarket head unit.

I imagine pretty much all research on parts for RSX will die with the RSX...

The only way to find out iwhich one is good is by looking for feedback (reviews) online, or go to the store, and compare the head units that you like.

dis_guy_Aite · 08-26-06, 10:36 PM

does anyone here use the neo ion ipod adapter for their car is that good

or should i get the i-honda-r3 by dice electronic which do you guys think is better

bwlucas · 08-27-06, 12:20 PM

I just use the iTrip FM transmitter.

I'm cheap.

djbme83 · 08-28-06, 10:53 AM

just look for a head unit that has an aux input... that way you can just buy a mini jack cable from it to your ipod. better than a wireless FM transmitter.

and if you don't want to do that and keep the stock HU, just use a tape adapter. its better sound quality than the FM transmitter too

giken · 08-29-06, 08:54 AM

That's what I use is the tape adapter. I've got the fm transmitter, but it's not the greatest. The tape adapter is better.

bwlucas · 08-29-06, 01:46 PM

I never have a problem with my Transmitter (besides passing someone else with one, or during a Thunderstorm). The sound quality isn't that bad, but it's noticeable when I put things on CD to compare.

yeah the MONSTER ipod FM transmitter i jacked from my brother's friend works pretty good...sometimes i have to switch stations though when i run into interference

I have a Clarion head unit with CeNet EA1276b Ipod Interface, it make your ipod into a CD disk changer and full controls (skip tracks, fast foward, etc) you also get the song names and band names, over all i love it... it was very easy to install on my head unit and it was only 125$ CAD at the time... http://clarion.com/ca/en/products/20...603434133.html

CeNet interface make it very easy to ad to the head unit. I could if i wanted to ad a TV tuner, It has 4 RCA outputs for amps (thats 4 amps plus the HIGH output speaker wires). I know alot of poeple hate them, but they are coming out with alot of great new products!

For aftermarket head units, go to www.crutchfield.com and start researching. Explore all of your options and always read the reviews. It's a great place to find what you want even if you don't want to buy it from there.

I have a Kenwood KDC-X491 with the KCA-iP500 adapter and I'm happy.

QKSLVER03 · 09-10-07, 05:17 PM

I have a Kenwood DDX-8017 unit with the KCA-iP500 and I'm happy with it. If you want to keep your stock head unit, I recommend you get that adapter by Dice Electronics, I'm planning on getting that for my wife's car as we don't want to change out the stock system.

There was something here awhile back about aftermarket units getting poor radio reception. Has anyone had that experience?
