Some ideas…<\/p>\n
– Find a way to safely \/ easily \/ reversibly remove the door on the aux audio connector (probably pin + spring friction fit) and use a right angle connector.<\/p>\n
– Trace pinout on cable between Nav unit and Music Link adapter box.<\/p>\n
– Identify pins used for power. Likely pins 9 and 10 of connector E ‘BLU (SAT ECU BUS (+))’ and ‘PNK (SAT ECU BUS (-))’. May also be pins 1 and 11, ‘BLU (+B GA-NET)’ and ‘BLK (GA-NET GND)’.<\/p>\n
– Adapt one half of 08A31-0F1-000 (BUS HARN 2PORT) to provide power to iPod (hopefully is +12v, otherwise cancel idea) and use other half to Honda Music Link. Probably wire-wrap \/ solder two pins in connector and heat shrink for insulation. Harnesses are cheap and readily available.<\/p>\n
– Mount Belkin TuneDok in left side of storage area in front of gear selector. Use threaded sleeve from center of cupholder cut out and braced with large (trimmed?) washer. Bolt through bottom of stoarge area.<\/p>\n
– Buy Belkin Auto Kit (Black) from eBay to acquire dock connector cable.<\/p>\n
– Small PCB in project box holding 1M\u03a9 resistor (to emulate Belkin Auto Kit and pause on power off). Probably will also patch audio from dock cable to 3.5mm plug and power from wires leading from BUS HARN 2PORT to dock cable.<\/p>\n
– Appears to be space in console in front of gear select to mount small project box. There is a medium sized structural tube to which it could be cable tied (with padding, similar to how Music Link box is mounted).<\/p>\n
– RF chokes on all audio lines inside of project box, just to be sure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
End result should be all-black mounting hardware. No changes to any factory wiring. Audio fed through factory connector, power pulled from the same place as iPod charging power is currently acquired. Power to iPod should be nice, clean power, filtered by whatever filters the power in the head unit making for no noise.<\/p>\n
Before doing all that, I need to take my vehicle in and get the resonating sound I’ve been hearing when the engine is running at 1400-1500 RPM checked out. I think this is a common problem. I also need to get my iPod taken care of at some point, because I think the disk in it may be dying.<\/p>\n
