Honda Car Forum

I purchased a 2005 Honda Odyssey EX/L. The head unit in the vehicle has the
"xm ready" logo on it, but I can't find any information about an xm direct
connector, nor does honda list anything at their website except for an xm
upgrade/head unit for the non ex vehicles. Can I add the terk tuner and
have it integrate with the factory head unit? Is there an XM direct adapter
available for the terk? Honda america, the dealer don't seem to have a
clue. Any help appreciated.

My 2003 Civic says "Sirius Ready" on it. They changed to XM in 2005?

Oops, wrong car, that wasn't my Civic that said that.

http://www.odyclub.com is the best place for this question.

Go to this site for more info. I have a 2005 Odyessey Touring and I
have a similar problem. I'm not interested in XM but rather an AUX
input for my 40Gb MP3 player. Hope this helps you.

They charge $100 for it. The most I've ever paid for the same device is
$50.

That device is $99 because it allows control of certain devices, like Sony
CD and in-dash MiniDisc players. If you have an MP3 player that it doesn't
control, you are wasting money.

The folks at P.I.E support are very helpful for the Aux adapters.
They indicated that the 2005 Accord was covered by their adapter in a
thread here a week or two ago.

This device plugs in as a "cassette player". This gives you no control, but
does give audio input. It is cheaper than the PC-SON, at $49.95.

At http://www.installer.com/aux/ the device lists for $69.95.

If you feel that using the device with a MP3 player is a waste of
money then please tell me how you would get the MP3 player to output
through the van's audio system. I would expect to control the player
at the player - I just want the audio through the van system.
