as the title says ...

installed the HON03/PC-SON into the CD Aux on MY04 head unit so that I could play my iPod throught the stock set up...

after a year of working seamlessly it has suddenly stopped functioning... the head unit is working fine...

is there a way to check that it's the HON unit or the head unit that has malfunctioned? or do I just go and replace with the NEO iON unit I found on mp3yourcar.com - pricey at 200 bucks - but its marketing copy sounds good?

any thoughts experiences recommendations appreciated...

thanks.

 

I'm also thinking about going this way with my new'ish I-Pod. Any feedback?
Thanks.

 

for the o4 OEM head unit does the CD AUX run off a separate fuse?

if yes, is the on the head unit or under dash drivers knee?

checking the manual this morning. but my electronics knowledge is limited...so help is appreciated.

 

I just put in a Dension iceLink for my iPod, and it works great. For $200, it charges the iPod, gives you a line-in, includes a nice cradle, and lets the steering wheel controls (to left of wheel) control the iPod.


For the original poster -- I suppose you already checked to make sure all the connections are still OK, and the Cd changer plug did not work loose?

how does the dension icelink compare to the neo ice link
i think both are 200

 

As far as I know, Neo is just repackaging Dension iceLinks now, so it's likely the same thing. I believe Neo sells the version with the plain dock cable, while Dension sells the version with the cradle (with options for the dock cable if you buy directly). I got the Dension with the cradle at Best Buy.
