That's correct.

But honestly, can't the carmakers do a better job with the manual? hey,
Toyota--burn that Prius manual and pay someone some real money to come
up with one that makes sense the *first* time through.

From a Honda Service Bulletin dated May, 2006. It was before the Fit came
out but the hardware is the same for all models, just different harness and
adapters for different models.

Music Link works only with the Apple iPod; it

won't work with other MP3 players. And it works

only with the 4th-generation iPod, iPod mini®,

iPod nano®, and iPod U2 Special Edition®. If

you've got an iPod shuffle® or a 3rd-generation or

earlier iPod, sorry, you're out of luck.

better yet, burn the car and let the honda sell hybrid
civics to the deperate greenies

back to the original topic: looks like the crap from apple can't
be controlled thru the usb port found on most aftermarket units
these days and requires a dedicated (proprietary) interface:
what a piece of crappola from appola

Howard is right. I just had a look at the HSN document he references, and
it says just what he quoted. The iPod Shuffle won't work with the Fit's
radio.

You might try something like this:

if the shuffle has the standard dock connector.

This is specifically for the Shuffle:

I've been using the Belkin in my 06 Civic through the auxiliary jack.
It charges the iPod, too.

Hi,

i have the same 2007 model, i have fitted a normal mp3 player with
mini stereo audio jack on the aux plug and it works very well altougth
you cannot control it on the steering.
When i connected the mp3 player the radio automatically has switched
in aux mode.
If this don't work try a normal mp3 player.
