i'd hardwire an RCA to headphone jack to the aux in of your headunit. There's adapters made for both the Pioneer and the stock s2k headunit. You would control the playlists through the ipod itself. Get a charger for the longer trips.

FM modulators suck ass. They sound horrible.

Here's the link for your s2k:
honda headunit aux in to RCA with this you simply buy an RCA to headphone jack and plug it into this adapter and your ipod. you use the ipod interface to control the songs. you can get a car charger OR buy the universal Ipod connection piece from Logjam, but you don't need it.

here's the link for your pioneer:
pioneer aux in to RCA with this you simply buy an RCA to headphone jack and plug it into this adapter and your ipod. you use the ipod interface to control the songs. you can get a car charger OR buy the universal Ipod connection piece from Logjam, but you don't need it.

i don't know the year of your rover or model, butthis link should help


there are many ways to skin this cat. IMO this is the cheapest and kindest method. I'm sure others will chime in here with other more expensive solutions, but bang for buck you'd get the desired result with the links i've provided.

I agree 100% - get the rca wires hooked up and you will be very happy.
