1. PC Card slot. 2. Bluetooth by mikala_sf

1. Has anyone managed to successfully use the PC card slot with an adapter and a memory card (either CF or SD) to play music? If so, what brand/type of adapter did you use? I heard SanDisk adapters don't work so I'm very curious which have worked. What memory capacity did your card have?
 
2. I had a Parrot CK-3100 LCD installed in my 07 with Navi. We had it installed in the sunglasses holder. Can close the sunglass holder and it's hidden away (love that!). The microphone is just above the rear-view mirror. Works really well so far, cuts out music when a call comes in, lots of voice command options, syncs with your phone and then has all your contacts in it which you can voice-command call once you program it. Item + install was $610 in SF Bay Area. If you have any info about question #1 please let me know.

Bluetooth Kit by rage151

My girlfriend ordered her 2007 CRV 4wd, w/Navi. She is really interested in a Bluetooth Kit to interface w/the factory Nav system. We know there are 3rd party units that attach to the dash, etc... But she wants a module that plugs into an AUX jack or something along those lines and operable via the OEM Nav system. Can anyone point us in the right direction?
 
Any and all help will be appreciated!

Unfortunatly on the LX you cant add the radio controls to the steering wheels. Evidently the steeringwheel on the 07 LX was not prewired as it was in previous years.

I bought a scan disk 2g card from best buy and a 6 in 1 card adapter. Works great.

well, i went out and bought a san-disk 6 in 1 PC card adapter and a san-disk 2gb card. put about 400 songs on the card and it plays perfect. i'd heard the san-disk pc card adapters won't work but this one did so go figure.
 
one thing to note, with the 2gb card you can't simply put 400 songs on the card, they have to be in folders. i chose to make four folders and put about 100 in each. something to do with the way the card holds information.
 
also of note, you can make a playlist in itunes and then highlight the songs you want and drag and drop them into the folders you made on the san-disk card. i made a playlist with randomly selected 4 and 5 star songs.
 
once in the car you can set the card to play songs at random from all folders. cool!! i bought the 2gb card in a store so paid $25 but online they can come way cheaper. will consider more cards with more refined playlists in the future.

Anyone know how to or has gotten an aftermarket piece that I can use in my new CR-V to change from XM to Sirius? I know you can do it with Lexus/Toyota, but am I able to do it in the new CR-V with navigation?

Just bought an 07 EX-L with Nav. I bought a Sandisk Compact Flash PC Card Adapter and a 4GB Sandisk Extreme III Compact Flash Card. The adapter can be found for about $15 at Best Buy, and I found the 4GB at Adorama Camera online for $75. There is a manufacturer's rebate for $30 good through May 31st, which brings it down to $45.
 
I was able to load about 980 songs on the card. 4GB is perfect for the 999 file limit that Honda imposes. I'm still trying to tweak how to best arrange the songs on the card in the folder. The great thing is that it will display the Artist, Title and Album name on the screen. That's just awesome!!
 
But I can tell you this. The sound quality is awesome!! It totally blows away using your iPod through the mp3 aux jack. This is pure uncompromised sound coming directly from your mp3 file to the stereo. For about $60, I essentially have a 4GB iPod equivilent loaded into my CRV.
 
Finally, the navigation of searching through the 999 files is great. There is a keyword search where you can type in a partial keyword and it will find all songs that match that keyword. Type in "MAD" and it will retrieve all your Madonna songs for example. Then, you can just select which song you want to listen to and it starts playing immediately. Once the Flash Card loads for the first time and reads the file structure, access to any and all the songs is instantaneous. No lag switching between songs.
 
If you love your music and can live with a 999 file limit, then the PC Card is your best solution to getting the best quality music and functionality out of the system. Leave your iPod at home!!

CD Changer in EX-L with Nav is Useless!!! by rrbhokies

I am really upset. I just found out that the 6 disc CD Changer not only won't play mp3/wma files, but it won't even play a CD-R CD. That is the most absurd thing I've ever seen. The stock unit in the other models have a built-in 6 disc changer that can play mp3 files. However, the only cd's you can put in the seperate changer in the center console is retail CDs. You can't even play CD-Rs in the unit.
 
This is not stated anywhere on their website or at the dealership. It's only stated in the manual. I feel like I've been cheated.
 
Does anyone know if you can swap out the Honda changer for an aftermarket brand that will play mp3 files??
 
Thank God the stereo system has the PC Card. At least I've got that working and have a 4GB card in there holding nearly 1,000 songs.
