I am using the "XM" button as AUX to feed the iPOD and stand alone XM radio.
 
You would have to remove the radio to determine whether your head unit has a plug available.
 
Good news, I am about to upgrade to the Pinoeer AVIC, and won't be needing the AUX/iPOD/XM adaptor.

Which one? D3?
 
Are you installing it yourself?

F700BT
 
Got it brand new form 6th Ave electronics for $400 shipped. Just received the XM tuner, PAC steering wheel control adapter, and iPOD cable from Crutchfield.
 
Will install when it is a little bit warmer than 30°F outside.
 
I am planning on installing the XM receiver in the stock location in the rear panel, run the wires under the door sills. This way, I can the stock location for the XM antenna, and install the GPS antenna where the current XM antenna is installed by the roof rack.

Wow, those have really come down in price since the last time I looked.
 
I will consider one for my next Miata.
 
$400, seriously? I remember when they broke a grand and sold for $999, I was all excited.
 
I'm checking it out now....Bluetooth, SD on the front (nice), screen is 5.8", not bad and I guess that helps get the price down. Doens't play DVDs, but that's not really a big deal either, none of my stereos can do that.
 
The screen rendering looks pretty sharp, the text is easy to read, better than some OEM units.

6ave electronics has it for this price on Amazon, but not on their own site for some reason.
 
It runs Windows CE, so people have hacked it on AVIC411 forums, from maps to adding buttons, to adding DIVX playyers, and so on.
 
The drawback of Windows CE, it almost takes a minute for it to start up.

I'm picking up my miata tonight, so now I'd have a car to put it in.
 
It think I'll actually go with another portable, though. Not sure...

Hello: Haynes has finally produced a repair manual for the 2002-2006 Honda CR-V. It is Haynes #42026 and is available online at www.Haynes.com or at most auto-parts stores. I was probably the last guy on the planet to hear about this nifty manual, but I did buy one today. Oh well....

Honda CRV Help with hitch / bike rack / MPG by fyvcrv
Apr 18, 2009 (12:01 pm)

I own a 2005 Honda CRV and I just bought a mountain bike and need to install a hitch to mount a bike rack. I'm too short to mess with the roof bike rack. I have always had the dealer work on the car and always used honda parts. However, I don't plan on hauling anything and I don't want to spend a lot of money. Thus, the dilemma.
Any suggestions on a hitch, install, or an alternative?
Also, I've never gotten better than 24 MPG on 70/30 highway/city driving. I'm no lead foot and I only run the AC when it's really hot. So, what are you folks who are getting better than 26 MPG doing? I use 87 to 89 Octane from my local Shell station.
 
Thanks!

If you take your spare tire cover off, you can get a rack that hangs on the spare tire...
 
Since that is the only reason that you need the hitch, this seems like an easier solution.
 
I wouldn't have thought of it, but I saw your model CR-V with just that set-up on Thursday..

The Kurt hitch was fairly easy to install. Took 1/2 hour or so. alot easier than the honda hitch. Otherwise can you just remove the front tire and put the bike in the back?
