If anyone could please help me. I got this week a Honda Odyssey 2009 EX-L with nav, and HFL included, I have a few questions. I have a palm centro phone, that connects perfectly with HFL, Question A, how do I switch which bluetooth headset I use, for example if I want to talk on a headset not on speaker, how do I switch it from the car audio system to my headset? could I do that in middle of a phone call ? Question B. could I get the HFL menu in the navigation screen, or that is limited only to the Touring models ? Question C, could I shut off the bluetooth in the car, for example I am in a parking lot and I don't want that is should automaticly go to the audio system, but I dont want to shut off the Bluetooth in my phone, is that possible ?

Replying to: 4my2boys (Dec 04, 2008 10:34 am) Design Change Notice (insert dated 10-15-08 for model PA11-HON2y): In order to improve the handling of Audiobook and to support streaming music downloads on iPhone or iTouch, the Hybrid Mode is deleted and design changes are also implemented to Playlist Mode. There are 2 configurations, and I went with config A. Summary of config A: DIP switch #1, #2=ON (factory default) Disc 1 - Playlist #1 (HONDA1-this iPod adapter rocks) Disc 2 - Playlist #2 (HONDA2-my stuff) Disc 3 - Playlist #3 (HONDA3-good stuff) Disc 4 - Playlist #4 (HONDA4-your stuff) Disc 5 - Playlist #5 (all songs from iPod - iPod locked; cd buttons+steering controls) Disc 6 - Playlist #6 (iPod Direct - iPod unlocked; iPod controls+cd buttons+steering controls) You must named HONDA (uppercase) followed by number without spaces in iTunes. Anything after that is freeform text. I was aware that the charging cable cannot charge my iPhone3G so I backordered from Crutchfield. (also cannot charge iPod nano (4th generation), iPod touch (2nd generation) because of 5-volt USB charging. This new backordered cable will also support iPod models that feature 12-volt Firewire charging. Also I was aware that display of artist and song title information, track search by artist, song title, album, or genre are NOT supported. Only the Playlist number and track number are displayed on radio (not on NAV - NAV Aux function will displayed 'EXT' for Extension for model PA11-HON2y. No interruptions of RES/NAV/XM/in dash 6-cd as expected...flawlessly! My suggestion is stay away from Honda Music Link, FM modulator, cassette adapter, etc. |

Replying to: ocuihs (Dec 06, 2008 6:25 pm) PA-11HON2y is "discontinued" with Crutchfield. A new model is now available: PA15-HON2. It requires an optional cable (item # 581CBP105 from Crutchfield) to charge the iPod nano 4th generation, iPod touch 2nd generation, iPod classic 120 GB, or the iPhone 3G. iPod Text: The USA SPEC PA15-HON2 allows iPod text on select XM enabled Honda/Acura factory radios. Artist name and song title will be displayed on the factory radio. Honda/Acura radios equipped with navigation will NOT support iPod text. The text displays on factory radios/NAV is not important to us since our main control via iPhone3G. I didn't bother to exchange/upgrade with Crutchfield within the 30 days satisfaction guaranteed period. To answer those replies, I did not drill holes through the glove compartment. I took the bottom 2 bolts off and saw some opening for the iPod-interface cable and just fed it to the interface (no need to remove the entire glove compartment). The location I chose for the interface unit on the passenger's side lower inner panel (inside the panel - panel easy to remove).

We recently got a 2008 Odyssey EX-L with RES/NAV. When listening to plain old FM radio, the radio doesn't provide text with the song/artist. It seems like this has been a common feature in car radios for nearly a decade. I can't find any reference to this in the manual (except for a mention of song/artist display on the XM radio screen).  Does anyone know if the Odyssey's radio has the capability to tell me the song/artist on regular FM radio? My pop culture knowledge depends on it. Thanks! kls_125

Happy New Year! I just saw at least 2 cars in the rest area on our road trip and now I'm planning to install one of these navigation interfaces for RES/Navi such as from www.NavTool.com or www.gNetCanada.com Does anyone have any installed pictures/ step-by-step procedures? Please note that I'm aware of all DISCLAIMER such as the navigation interfaces do not replace navigation system they give ability to add external A/V sources. These navigation interfaces are designed for off-road or when vehicle is immobilized. The driver is responsible for maintaining full attention while operating a motor vehicle. The removal or bypassing of safety feature in these navigation interfaces may result in termination of warranty. Using these navigation interfaces improperly will result in injury, citation, and arrest by authorities. Thanks!

Apologies if this has been answered - couldn't find it by searching. What kind of adapter, if any, is available to connect an iPod (mine is a Touch 32) to the Odyssey sound system? If there is none, what do people do? Just use the ear buds? That's not safe, I think :-0 Thanks - appreciate any replies. Carol

Replying to: kls_125 (Dec 27, 2008 8:44 pm) I believe that technology you refer to is Radio Data System (RDS) where I have it on my other car - 2004 Nissan with XM - both of my regular FM radio and satellite display text of song/artist. Radio Data System, or RDS, is a communications protocol standard from the European Broadcasting Union for sending small amounts of digital information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. The RDS system standardises several types of information transmitted, including time, track/artist info and station identification. RDS has been standard in Europe and Latin America since the early 1990s, but less so in North America. |

Replying to: cmacvet (Jan 01, 2009 12:09 pm) I've heard in person those cassette adapters, FM modulators, Honda Music Link (discontinued by Honda) from friends and families who own them.......that's why one of my posts mentioned stay away from these. USA Spec products are one of the best out there. |
