IPOD Integration

[krishnaeluri]

I have a 2006 Acura MDX every thing OEM. Now I am planning to Integrate IPOD. There are several options. I want some thing that has both the IPOD Adapter and the AUX input. The One I am thinking about is from Integration Solutions. It is called L5 IPOD Adapter.

Has anyone used it or know any one who used it would tell how it is and if there is any thing better in the market.

I haven't heard of Integration Solutions. I went with USA Spec and their iPod integration/adapter. I believe the part number is PA11 HON-2y (should fit most Honda/Acura 2005+). It utilizes the "CD Changer" spot.

I had it installed at a local auto-audio-store for $250. A bit pricey, but I like having my iPod and music with me, especially since my MDX doesn't play mp3-cds. Fleabay has the item for ~$130. Shouldn't be too hard to install yourself, but I was lazy.

The USA Spec adapter works well enough - there is no readout on the car-display for any song title/artist/info, but I usually hit "shuffle" for road trips. The steering wheel mounted "Channel" button skips forward one track. The -/+ button on the center-stack move backwards/forwards one track. And you can still surf your song list on the iPod. Plus, there is an additional AUX input for the adapter.
