Are there other radios built to replace the Honda radio in the Fit? Can we find a Pioneer Brand stereo system to replace the Honda factory system?

Steering wheel audio controls by glassvial

Do you have to get the nav system option in order to get the steering wheel audio controls? It sure seems like it based on the pictures I've seen so far, and Honda's website isn't very clear about it.

Steering wheel audio controls follow-up by glassvial

I guess you can't edit your posts here, so, answering my own question, you don't get steering wheel audio controls without the GPS package (dumb move on Honda's part). You also don't get a power-lock button on the passenger side (another dumb move). These are 2 things that led to not purchasing this vehicle, sorry Honda, you cheaped out just a bit too much here. By the time you add the GPS on to get the steering-wheel audio controls, you can get another vehicle with many more features, more room, etc.

Fit '09 MP3 USE by jefffit

Hi, New to the Forum. Already have some great information. Thanks. Has anyone used an MP3 player, not an IPOD, in a '09 Fit Sport? I've tried connecting my Zen MP3 player and no go. Manuel is confusing on the types of MP3 systems the Fit's stereo supports. Anyone have ideas as to how to make my Zen player work? Or if it will work. Thanks

Does iPhone 3G charge and work on the FIT Sport by smadny

Hello All,
 
Does anybody use an iPHone 3G in the Fit Sport? Does it Play well with the Stereo system? I have many Questions:
 
1. Does it charge the iPhone 3G?
2. Does it display the Song name/Artist on the radio?
3. How is the Quality of audio on the Fit Sport..
 
Just would like if anybody has a Fit Sport and uses iPhone 3G as the iPod in the car system.
 
The dealer is a far drive away, but ultimately i will go in for the test drive and find out myself. ... Just Curious!!!
 
Thanks,
 
Mark

hondafit3: you'd need a male-male cable that is standard headphone jack size on one end (1/8", I believe", and on the other end is whatever the AUX jack is. I would presume that's also 1/8", but I haven't checked. The owner's manual doesn't say.
 
Mark: I have tried only a first-gen iPhone, with 2.2 firmware in my Fit Sport/no nav. My best answers to your questions:
1. I think so; the iPhone shows a little plug over the battery icon
2. Yes
3. Quality sounds perfectly fine to me, though I am no audiophile
 
One odd note - when I connect my iPhone it gives a message on the phone saying this is not a supported accessory, then it suggests I put it in airplane mode to avoid interference. I just click through and say no and it works just fine and behaves as it's supposed to. But I so far have not tested it enough to see if there's any GSM buzz.

Re: NAV Display Brightness not working on AUTO Setting [rlh2] by georgelass

Hope you got it fixed, if you didn't, i did, here's how:
Turn the round knob next to the odometer reading, turn it all the way to the right, this makes the dashboard lights go the brightest. Now turn the knob one or two clicks to
the left (counter clockwise). Now your navigation will honor the 'auto' setting from day to night. Silly, but Honda dealer showed me this is how to make it work. Bye... P.s. In addition to being able to turn this knob, you can also push it to reveal the remaining 'oil life'. Take care.

Cheap and Easy MP3 Adapter Solution for the FIT by xcentrick
Aug 18, 2009 (8:30 pm)

I have a 2007 FIT Sport. I wanted to plug and play my MP3 but couldn't believe the cost of the adapter(s) from OEM and aftermarket. So, I lucked out and found a solution Radio Shack. It's called a Universal FM Transmitter by Gigaware, p/n 1200494 for an astonishing $19.99. It plugs into your lighter socket/accessory outlet. Then plug it into any device that has a standard headphone jack. It also comes with an additional "pigtail" adapter for a larger size. Then, it looks for a vacant FM frequency and displays it on a small transmitter (included). Finally, you find and match the frequency on your FM that is displayed on the transmitter and VIOLA! It sounds GREAT!
