Im trying to decide between the factory ipod link and the USA spec ipod link, those with experience which is better? In know this should go in electronics but thought a better responds would come form here.

Thanks

 

I've used both and the US spec model doesn't lock up like the Honda music links have.

 

"Lock up" meaning lock out the ipod or "lock up" meaning a system malfunction?

 

The Music link's have been known to stop working randomly.

 

why dont u just purchase a $170 alpine headunit and a $10 dollar aux cable and be done with it?

 

Because If I did purchase a head unit im gonna buy a nicer one than $170 and my current one isn't broken so im not gonna worry about it replacing it. Everyone says the sound quality sucks in s2000's and a head unit will help but I think it sounds just fine the rollbar speakers which were added in 06 probably helped some. I don't know though It's a possibility I just dont want to lose the dash control function.

 

I've never been one for loud stereos, the OEM stuff suits me fine. I've even driven without a radio for over a year without missing it a bit.

The US Spec kit is cheaper than the OEM Music Link and offers the same level of iPod controls with a OEM radio.

 

Just ordered the US Spec kit last week and will get it this week. Any trick to installing it? Do I have to pull the head unit or can I get enough access from the rear to plug in the harness?
