Is the aux jack standard? Just that it's available is awesome for people who already have Sirius/XM for their cars. The FM modulator stinks.
Also, what's this Honda Audio Link that you speak of? What type of gadgets can take advantage of it?

I just bought an 06 Alabaster Silver HCH. The dealer already had mud flaps added at no extra charge. I will be purchasing an Delphi Roady XT, since we already had an XM subscription with our Element, which was totalled last week - hense the new car.

Aux jack is standard on 06 HCH

In fact I bought an iPod specifically for the car, since I can just hook it up to the aux port (and, soon, use the dedicated iPod adapter). So yes, it's standard, and it's on the EX as well.
