#74 of 114 Re: MP3 Player [tokash] by tridderi May 10, 2005 (1:06 pm)
Replying to: tokash (Mar 01, 2005 2:46 pm) I put another note in ... I bought a TSX with the MP3 CD player. I have only used it for CD-Rs. It has recognized every single one that I have used (purchased or created manually).   I don't have a navigation system, so I don't know where it would display it there. On the other hand, I would presume that it would display the data in the same place as the XM radio display.   As far as what is visible ... it is disappointing. It displays "D-# T-#" where # is the number of the disk and track. It treats the directories as disks and the MP3 files in the directories as tracks. They could have come up with anything better than that (even 8.3 format would have been better!). It makes it virtually impossible to select a particular song that you want without memorizing the number of the disks and the number of tracks for each (and the directories are probably alphabetical). I have many MP3 CDs that are for Bible teachings, so I still find value in this option, but if I wanted it just for music, I would not have bought it.   My only hope is that sometime in the future, someone will come up with a firmware upgrade, since the radio can display text, as it does with XM.

Warning - don't get the Acura MP3 player - it's a joke, doesn't connect to an IPod and is a waste of money.

Both of these line-in adapters will work on the TSX without Nav:   http://www.logjamelectronics.com/sounsnhond3.html   http://www.logjamelectronics.com/piehon03pcson.html   Craig
#77 of 114 Cassette player by enya18 Mar 15, 2005 (7:27 am)
I'm looking into the idea of adding a cassette player as an accessory to the TSX that I would like to get (in the near future), for the purpose of being able to use my MP3 player in the car. According to the ACURA website, it costs a little over $200 (MSRP) to add-on. Edmunds doesn't have an options list which shows the invoice prices for accessories. Do I have to pay MSRP for an accessory? Or is there a way to find out the invoice price? Replies to this message: c_hunter (Mar 15, 2005 10:38 am) 4acuras (Oct 20, 2006 8:14 am)

Replying to: enya18 (Mar 15, 2005 7:27 am) If you just want to connect your MP3 player, say an iPod, to the factory stereo, then there are better ways to do it than installing a cassette deck and using a cassette adapter. Several manufacturers make a harness kit that attaches to the radio's CD changer jack and provides a direct line-in. I paid about $90 for the kit I put in my wife's TSX.   Craig
#80 of 114 Acura TSX Options by tridderi May 10, 2005 (12:46 pm)
I purchased a Red and Black 2005 TSX without navigation system (as a map works just fine for me). I purchased fog lights because I live in upstate NY and they are very useful in the winter with the snow "falling sideways", as it often does. I got the dealer to throw in the mud flaps, trunk tray and wheel locks for free. I bought the wind visor because my previous Hondas would be far to noisy without the visor. I would barely open the moon roof. With the visor, it is very quiet. It is noisier to open a window than the moon roof. So totally worth it. I also bought the MP3 CD player because I have a large number of MP3 CD collections with Bible studies that I have purchased (although most people just have personal MP3 players instead, so this would not be the best for them). I agree that a line-in connector would have made a lot of sense. I love being able to listen to my MP3 CDs directly in the car. I must point out that I am very disappointed that navigating through the disk is difficult, since the MP3 titles don't show up on the screen, although since it does display the titles from the XM radio, it is obviously capable of doing it. Anyone know of a firmware upgrade that can provide the text?
#81 of 114 What can connect the iPod to the Aux input? by brian39 Jan 24, 2006 (12:34 pm)
I bought the belkin mini stereo audio cable to plug in my iPod to the AUX input in my 2006 TSX, but for some reason, I hear no noise. Does anyone know of the reason for this? Or is this not compatible? Thanks. Replies to this message: crissman (Jan 24, 2006 6:34 pm) xplorx4 (Jan 25, 2006 12:48 pm)

Replying to: brian39 (Jan 24, 2006 12:34 pm) Make sure your radio is set to AUX and that the cable is plugged to the iPod headphone jack. Should work. This is how it works in my '06 Civic.

Replying to: brian39 (Jan 24, 2006 12:34 pm) You need to install a Ground-Loop Isolator (GLI). You can get one of these at Radio Shack.
