I am an electronic igneous, so I don't have a clue, but you should be able to find your answer using the search feature. Good luck.

ok guys i made up my mind and went with the Dell AXIM x30 with 624mhz. I know gloffer gave me some products and price but does anyone else has different products? like different mounts for the s2 or different setups? please provide links and products.

Hey Gloffer what is the P.I.E. Hon-Aux - $50 for? Is that so i can control mp3 files through my HU?

thanks

Hey Gloffer,

That's my setup

If you have the stock stereo the PIE Hon98-Aux connects to your CD changer input and gives you stereo RCA inputs. You connect your ipod or PPC to the inputs to play your music and GPS over the speakers through stock stereo.

BTW - I just replaced my headunit so I have an extra Hon-aux for 2000-2003 S2000 stock stereos sitting around.
