I got my 2006 HAH with the Honda-branded Music Link accessory installed by the dealer. Not sure if this works with pre-2006 models.

It was $400 installed by the dealer. The iPod cable comes out in the glove box, you plug in the iPod there and then control it through the factory radio. No FM modulator, no separate control, no bracket on the dash letting thieves know that there's an iPod in your car somewhere. Also, keeps your iPod charged.

That's the good news. The bad news is that I find the interface kind of clunky. There's no text feedback on artist, song, etc. Only this clunky text-to-speech system that takes some getting used to. You install some separate software to go with iTunes, which makes text files on your iPod. Then, through some fancy fingerwork with the track skip button on the stereo, the stereo starts speaking off all the artist names, or album names, or whatever, that you select.

If you select "disc 1" (pretending it's a CD Changer), you cycle through all playlists. Disc 2 is artists, 3 is albums, 4 is genres, 5 is random shuffle through albums, and 6 is random shuffle all songs.

Anyway, not sure if I am doing it justice here. Overall, I give it a grade of B.
