aux audio input for 2006 accord SE
 

For my 2006 Accord SE sedan: Does Honda make an accessory to give me
audio system an aux input? You know, so I can play an ipod through it.

I went to the Honda site and it showed nothing. (Did I miss it?)

Investigating replacing the factory installed 6-CD changer--but no aux
in and no mp3 capability--with an after market mp3 player was
sobering: approx $500, total, and this was for a modestly priced head
unit (but did include connecting the steering wheel audio controls). I
had it priced at both a specialty car audio store as well as Best Buy.
Yes, I know I can buy one of the wireless transmitters to play it
through the radio, but these, to me, have suspect audio quality.

Any help/suggestions most appreciated! TIA.

I got this from Crutchfield

I have a 2006 with NAV. The controls on the steering wheel control it also.
I love it!

My 2003 Civic has an empty connector for a CD changer. PIE makes an
adapter that plugs in there, and accepts RCA inputs that appear as audio
from an external CD, always on CD-1, track 1.

I bought mine from http://www.logjamelectronics.com

It was an easy job. I didn't even pull the radio out. I reached up behind
the radio, in the dash, and plugged the connector in.
