Default Re: 2006 Civic LX and iPod



Look up "Music Link" on the various Honda sites.

Navigation is difficult, syncing takes a long time, and it's all
rather expensive -- a bit over $300.

If it were less pricey, I'd probably take a risk and try it.

So I'm still thinking about the Transpod, and hoping something better
comes along after the 2006s have been on the market a little longer.
