The i-link is discontinued from Honda. Get one of these:

Works great, can control from OEM radio and dash controls and the Ipod itself (won't lock out controls). You can also install it yourself in 30 mins or less.

I installed the Blitsafe ipod interface more than a year ago, and I'm extremely pleased. It is one of the (or the only) least expensive interface and it automatically turns on/off when you turn on the engine which is very handy. The sound quality of course is the best you can get from an ipod interface.

don't get the musiclink. it disables your ipod menu, so you can only listen to random songs, or select it based on TTS (text to speech). i didn't even bother with the latter.

i've had it installed for a couple months only, and it stopped working. i need to fix it now, if it's possible. Plus, there's cheaper options out there.

Has anyone hooked up the DICE (http://www.diceelectronics.com) iPod Integration Kit? That one is $40 cheaper but claims to have all the same features as the Neo. I've been thinking about buying the DICE for some time now, but I don't know if anyone has one.

I tried ordering the NEO but it was backordered for over a month! Each time I called it's another delay. Unless the vendor is lying, there are still some issues with it. I heard the Blitzsafe unit is not that reliable. I ended up ordering a USA-spec unit which will arrive next week. We'll see how it goes.
