IPOD/IPHONE adaptor question
Hi there,
What brand/model Ipod adapter will work with the OEM head unit?
My car is 06. I just bought a PA15-HON2 adapter from the USA Spec that claimed to work with my 06, but turned out not. The connector that comes with the adapter just doesn't fit the plug on the back of the head unit. I called USA SPEC this morning they said the factory radio in the US model may differ than the one in Canadian model, therefore it won't work. Now I am looking to purchase another one, any other brand/model that will work with our car?? Thanks!

Unless that adapter you speak of is cheap, you better off just buying a whole new head unit entirely. If your just looking to play tunes from the stock deck, why not hook up a cable to the auxiliary line?

Your deck will be covered by the radio door from time to time so looks shouldn't matter to you that much which segways into my point about decks as this becomes all personal preference. Personally I love 60x4 decks from Alpine but they don't make them anymore, but certain year JVC, Pioneer, Kennwood, Panasonic decks are quite good. Your better off upgrading your speakers first or doing it all together before changing the deck IMO.

when i mean cd changer port i mean...
Take out your original radio and in the back you should see...
The port on the RIGHT is the where the harness goes in, and the LEFT port is for the cd changer plug. In your case, you would be plugging your PA15-HON2 into that LEFT port. Everything is plug and play so make sure you test out before you put the stock headunit back in
