I've been reading around the various forums, and found out that Honda's Music Link is probably not a good choice for using the iPod in the car. Ideally, I'd like to get something that would allow the iPod to be hidden away, and controlled through the stereo. The Neo iOn comes closest, but is expensive and not completely compatible. So I'm now thinking of just having an auxiliary jack installed, and using something like the DLO Transpod Direct (not the wireless FM transmitter). There'd definitely be some tradeoffs, but it would be quite a bit less expensive. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks! --Nan
Oddly enough, we've actually heard the exact opposite. When we were in the dealership, the salemen told us that the iPod can be connected, stored in teh glovebox, and then controlled from the radio itself. Have you gotten any more info?
Look up "Music Link" on the various Honda sites. Navigation is difficult, syncing takes a long time, and it's all rather expensive -- a bit over $300.

So I'm still thinking about the Transpod, and hoping something better comes along after the 2006s have been on the market a little longer. --Nan
