Re: using an iPod in both an '04 and '07 with Navi (and tape player in '04) [srizvi1] by dolfan1

I don't think you'll lose noticeable quality. I've used that setup when renting cars & haven't had a problem (the Walmart cord). Just a reminder about interfaces. The one I had installed will not allow the channel selector on the steering wheel or on the dash to be used. The only thing that does work is the volume control. I believe the USA Spec does allow the use of the channel selector, and yes, it does matter. I wish I had the Spec installed, because I can't skip songs without using the ipod controls, and doing that while driving is obviously dangerous.

2008-09 LX-P CD problem by warriorphan

Honda TechLine is still trying to find out why my 2008 LX-P does not read the correct number of folders on MP3 CDs. The CDs play properly in several other MP3 players, including the Accord LX model. I recently tried the MP3 CDs in a 2009 LX-P with the same result, the 2009 model will not read them correctly either. I ripped and burned them using two different programs, did not make a difference. Anyone else have this problem?? What did Honda do to solve it for you??

09 Accord Coupe: True iPod Integration ? by soplush
Oct 07, 2008 (7:23 pm)

Can someone explain if the 09 Accord Coupe offers true iPod integration or not?
Meaning, can I connect my iPod to the audio system and control it through the car on the steering wheel or the command center?Or is the only option an AUX port connected through the headphone jack?
 
I can't believe they'd have iPod integration on the Fit and not the Accord but...anything is possible. Thanks.

CD not loading/playing by jakuta

I've had a sudden problem with CD's not playing. I can be playing one and if I turn the car off and back on, it will not load, then ejects it. If I put it back in, sometimes it works, sometimes it just spits back out at me. It also happens when I change CDs. The car is 5 years old and never had a problem with this before. Of course, it's out of warranty.

Is the 2008 Accord EX XM Ready by jaraz

Does anyone know if the 2008 Accord EX is XM Ready? I want to be able to install XM in my new Accord and wasn't sure if the factory radio in the car was XM ready. I have a feeling it's not. If that is the case has anyone here installed an aftermarket radio w/ XM in their Accord and still able to use the steering wheel controls and digital display?

Change radio/tape player to a radio/CD player by bill208

I recently inherited a 99 Accord with a radio/tape player and would like to change it to a radio/CD player. The existing unit has a button for tape/CD on it and there are front door and rear deck speakers. In some other research they were talking about wireing harness changes etc. Is that really necessary. Couldn't this be just a swap out and in with the newer unit? It doesn't have to be anything fancy/no ipod,gps etc.
Thanks.

I think they started putting CD players in Accords in 03 and that wouldn't fit in your car. You would have to buy an aftermarket deck and a wiring harness that will seat into the harness of the car. The deck just comes with wires and you would have to buy the harness. Your comment about changing the wiring harness, if I understand you correctly, has nothing to do with the one in the car.
 
I only know this because in every car except one I've replaced the factory stereo with an aftermarket CD player.

There is a button on the existing radio that you can push for tape / CD. The radio is FM1, FM2, AM. If the tape/CD button is there is that bogus or would there need to be a bigger/extra unit in the storage space below.

If there is a button that you can select cd from I would guess that you may be able to contact your dealer and see if they could install one for you. I think I remember reading that the 99s had a cd player optional. You may be able to get the factory cd player installed.
 
I know that mine has an aux button, but there is nothing connected to it, I could put a changer in, but don't feel that it's worth the money. You would probably need an extra unit in the bottom storage bin.
 
Your best bet would be to buy an aftermarket because it will end up being cheaper in the long run. I know it sounds stupid, but when I was looking at getting a different head-unit, with MP3 capabilities, the dealer said that it would run about $500 plus labor. You can get a better cd player aftermarket for half that especially since you don't want anything fancy.
