It actually says it only works with up to a 2004, but the radios are obviously the same. It took me close to an hour in the car with 15'F weather and scraping up my hand a bit to get that mother plugged in the back, but it was worth it when it snapped in. I ran the cable through the glovebox and that seemed like the best place. Thanks for this page, which got me started researching this mess!

I took the rca to miniplug cord and threaded it through the fuse box area to the coin holder below the cruise control button. I have a air vent mounted ipod cradle on the left side of the steering wheel. I can see the road and my ipod at the same time on this side. It took a bit getting used to "ipodding" left handed, but I did it.<br /> When I'm not using the ipod I can coil the cord up in the coin holder, take my cradle out of the vent and you can't even tell that I modified anything. <br /> The only issue I had was that the interface "box" had to be in the correct position for the sound to come out of both speakers or come out at all. It was a jiggle the cord and see what happens sort of thing. All in all I am very satisfied. <br /> Thanks for the directions and pictures everyone has provided.

But I went the extra step and bought a panel mountable female cable, drilled a hole in one of the blank plugs next to the lighter/12V socket. So it now looks like it was put there by Honda. I bought the cable from Datapro http://www.datapro.net/products/1228.html<br /> <br /> a little expensive considering I have many of the male cable lying around the house, but worth it for the neatness.<br /> <br /> thanks for the help.

That story also indicates that there may also be a federal law in the works. Going to see what I can find out about that. Thanks Steve.

Thanks to the link to the Honda directions and your pictures, I had my Grom adapter for my IPOD in place and working in less than 30 minutes, start to finish.<br /> <br /> The only recommendation I would make is to use a 4 inch thin-blade putty knife to spread the parts and disconnect the clips and tabs. I used a Warner #34647 from Lowes hardware and didn't leave a single tool mark.<br /> <br /> For anyone who's interested, I used a Grom Audio MBUS adapter I got off eBay but you can get it from them direct (an unpaid advertisement (g)). It worked fine the first time.<br /> <br /> Thanks again Eric,
