I've had my Fit for 2 weeks and am very happy with it. However, I am still perplexed by the Aux plug for the Ipod. I was told by the salesperson that the Ipod would be charging as it was playing. This does not seem to be the case. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to buy a car charger to use while playing the Ipod? I also have to put the volume all the way up on my Ipod to be able to hear it through the speakers. Is this normal?? Thanks

Replying to: happyfit (Jun 08, 2006 4:06 pm) The Fit Sport comes with the Aux port, but you have to specifically request (and pay for) the Music Link accessory. Installation is pretty complicated, as well. If you did not buy the Music Link, and you're using the Aux port to listen to your iPod, then you will need a separate charger to keep your iPod juiced up. It's normal to have to crank up the volume on your iPod, when going this route. I believe what would work best for you would be something like the Monster Cable iCharger Ultra-Low Profile Charger for iPod with Dock Connection (model #AICHG2 IP). It will both charge your iPod, and gives you access to the line-out function available through the dock connector. You would get a stronger and clearer signal going that route. |

I'm a little confused, so I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me. The pictures which show an iPod plugged into the stereo, show the iPod sitting in the glovebox, with the plug being routed from (what looks like) the back of the radio, and over to the glovebox. However, the close up pictures of the gear shift selector on the Sport model, appear to show an access plug, just to the left of it. So ... is is it that the iPod connector is a totally separate and proprietary iPod connection, which integrates the iPod controls into the stereo head unit, and the MP3 connection is essentially an input for the headphone jack? If not, then I'm not sure what I'm seeing in the pictures. |

Yes, the IPOD cable is a separate and proprietary connection from the aux/mp3 plug next to the power outlet. The stereo on the sport has controls that directly do all the ipod functions such as folder navigation while charging your ipod at the same time. The aux jack next to the power outlet is an input jack that will play from any source with a walkman (3.5mm) jack. (XM, ANY mp3 player etc.)But if you use the aux jack next to the power outlet you must control your tunes from whatever device you have plugged in. By the way after looking at the sport fit at the auto show I can answer someone’s question that the steering wheel does NOT telescope, it only moves up and down. |

Replying to: mebman (Jan 30, 2006 12:45 pm) My friends's loaded EX Civic did NOT come with it installed from the factory.  Nor does the NA Honda home page show it on any vehicle standard - even EX Accord has it shown as a dealer installed /inflated price option. Ipod Music Link is also optional on all Acura models that have it available... |
|
has anything changed as to whether or not the Ipod cable is dealer or factory installed?
