I think a more serious limitation is no factory XM or Sirius. After having it in my GMC I would not buy a car that did not have it installed. I know several RX400h owners complained of not being able to get XM that integrated seamlessly with the other audio components. Honda offers XM standard in the Accord EX.

I have had XM for two years and also would not go without it so I am a happy camper with the 450h/XM combo. |

I love this car but can I play my favorite tunes saved on my MP3 player? Does anyone know if there is an AUX port? I saw a posting that there is none in the center console but does that mean there is none anywhere?

Replying to: zeroohm (Jun 02, 2006 4:23 am) http://www.vaistech.com/home.html Dealers install these. Control from ipod. I just got my GS450h and the (premium) sound system is spectacular. Even better than on the RX400h, which had an excellent premium system, that I traded in. And the quietness of the car greatly enhances listening.

Replying to: idele (Jun 02, 2006 6:56 am) Another route to go is burning your MP3's (or WMA's) onto a DVD, which the disc player will handle. That's going to support an awful lot of music. I haven't tried it so I'm not sure whether the song and artist info is displayed, nor how the navigation works, but it seems like a reasonable workaround.

Replying to: idele (Jun 02, 2006 3:36 pm) I cannot burn the tracks onto a CD because I use a subscription music service and the tracks can only be played on the player. That means I get to choose from millions of artists for $15 per month. But since I only rent, I cannot burn. Let me know if your iPod is played through the FM radio or if there is a separate AUX button to listen. BTW - I just checked the web site posted by idele (http://www.vaistech.com/home.html)and if that is the solution they use all is good in my world. It looks like a true direct AUX connection (not a modulator). That is very cool. Now there is no reason not to buy this car!
