Link my iphone to stereo in Honda Accord 2006: appreciate advice?!

Arequipa · 08-08-2014 10:26AM #1

Hi! I just got myself a 2006 Accord.
It has a 6 cd changer and radio system..
There doesnt appear to be an audio in dock & no bluetooth connection.. Just a cigarette lighter.

I would love to connect my iphone to the sterio to play music, podcasts even take calls..

I had an FM receiver on my last car and thought it was just okay..

Any advice on a device/upgrade to connect my iphone with good quality sound?

I appreciate your advice!

Heres the sterio system...

Those links doesn't work

Anyway if you want to be able to take calls etc I'd say change stereo.
The stereo must support a2dp bluetooth.

You can get stereos in most places, even aldi/lidl sells them.

Thanks for the reply..
I think these kits could do the trick for approx €100:

Here are the links again:

And

2). http://www.xcarlink.co.uk/product.php?productid=7&cat=3&page=1

Do you think these will do the trick?
They say you can also get a bluetooth connect kit...

I had one of these fitted in my accord cl7 http://www.halfords.ie/sat-nav-audio/car-entertainment-technology/bluetooth-headsets-car-kits/parrot-mki9200-bluetooth-handsfree-kit

I found it impossible to change stereo as nobody appeared to do a facia. Saying that, it was two years ago so you may have some luck now.

Its a good bit of kit for what it offers. Clarity on calls was great. Ipod/usb etc was a plus.
Only real downside for me was when using ipod/usb etc, the parrot uses it own built in amp (which is rather small) rather than using the headunit or external amp outputs. That said, it sounds alright and the power is more than sufficient for most people. Find a car audio centre or a Halfords etc that has it on display and ask for a demo.

Thanks Limbo!
I will check the Parrot system out...
I wonder how sound quality compares to a system like the xcarlink 1 which connects to the cars speakers?!
