Our take on the P.I.E Aux Input Adapter For Honda

Important Note: Your Honda radio may be code protected. Please verify that the code is available from your Honda dealer before disconnecting your battery for this installation.

Got a portable music player? Then you probably know that a direct connection to your vehicle's radio will give you the best possible sound quality. The Precision Interface Electronics HON98-AUX adapter lets you convert the CD changer port on your Honda factory stereo into an auxiliary input, suitable for connecting an add-on satellite radio tuner, portable music player, or other audio source.

Just plug the 14-pin data connector on the adapter cable into the factory radio's changer port, connect your portable player to the adapter's RCA inputs, press "CD" on the radio, and go! This adapter uses the CD changer port — once connected, you can't use a changer with your factory radio. If you have a factory cassette player, you'll make the connection directly to that, rather than to the receiver. Warranty: 90 days.

Please enter your vehicle information or call a Sales Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to find out if this adapter is compatible with your vehicle.

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Overview: DPX Auxiliary input converters by PIE (Precision Interface Electronics) are designed to convert the CD Changer port of the OEM radio (with CD Changer controls) into an auxiliary input. Devices such as Satellite Radios, DVD Players, VCRs, MP3 Players, and Game Systems can be added the the OEM radio without an FM Modulator. DPX Technology maintains full function of all factory steering wheel and rear seat controls.

Compatibility: The HON98-AUX allows you to add an auxiliary input to the factory radio in select Honda vehicles. The adapter plugs into the factory system using the supplied harness, avoiding wire splicing and modifications.

Note: The adapter takes the place of the CD changer, so you cannot have a CD changer and the adapter connected to your vehicle at the same time.

Mounting: The adapter can be secured to any flat surface.

Connections: The adapter has a stereo RCA input to connect to your auxiliary audio device (no audio cable included). On the other side, the adapter has a rectangular 10-pin jack that interfaces with the supplied harness. The adapter end of the harness has the 10-pin plug and the other end has a rectangular 14-pin plug which plugs into the factory radio.

Installed in a 03 Honda Odyssey EX

Written By Kenneth, Harvey, LA on Thursday, May 15, 2008
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Crutchfield Customer Review

I have an Audiovox Express XM Tuner installed on a Honda Odyssey but
was very unhappy with the way XM Sureconnect had to run one of the
wires to the vehicles antenna located on the front right hood (exposed
wire on the hood and coupling Clip to the antenna was exposed to the
open on the base of the antenna), in addition I was not thrilled with having
to change and locate clearer FM stations on long distance trips. Did some
web research, and received some email support from Lyle at Crutchfield
and decided to buy the Honda AUX Input converter - overall cost was my
determining factor. Installation was easy (5 min) and straightforward -
installed to the stock Head Unit. I drilled a hole in the back of the empty
plastic storage container found beneath the stock CD Player and ran my
RCA/Mini plug connection cable (this connector is NOT included with the AUX
input converter) thru the hole and tied a knot in the connector wire to
prevent the cable from retracting back thru the hole. A ground wire comes
with this input converter. Thru trial and error I've determined the ground
wire should NOT be grounded. I ran a 30 inch line of extension wire to the
stock ground wire (which is extremely short out of the box), twisted the
two wires together and ran this ground wire to a location tucked away
behind my center stack within easy reach - the wire is not grounded but
remains ready. Don't believe I will ever need it - tried CD. cassette, ipod,
XM tuners - sounds clear ungrounded.

The included detailed instruction helped me install this efficiently into my 2004 Honda Civic Sedan. It is the solution I was looking for to play my iPod in my car with digital quality sound. I should have bought this 4 years ago when I got my iPod, now I always have all my songs with me ready to play.

It works with a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid with OEM AM/FM/CD radio

I've successfully installed this interface in my 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid with the factory OEM AM/FM/CD radio. I am using this product to interface my HD Radio add-on tuner using the RCA L/R connections. The CD button on the OEM Radio controls access to this interface. A great product. It was a simple plug-and-play installation thanks to Crutchfield's included installation documentation.

Excellent product; no problem installing on my 2002 Odyssey EXL with
factory video. I removed dash cover, pulled radio and plugged included
connector, got rid of my fm modulator and use audio cables to connect my
XM Commander to this adapter. The sound is incredible; with the fm
modulator I had to increase the volume to the 6 or 7th bar to able to hear a
decent sound from my radio. With this unit, if I increase it past the 2nd bar
it becomes too loud. Highly recommend this product for the Odyssey; don't
know about other cars or if you need to connect other portable devices.

works like a charm

Written By Carreon, Gurnee, IL. on Wednesday, April 09, 2008
 
I connected this device into a 01 Honda CR-V. this little guy works as designed with no problems. This gives you the flexibility to keep your stock radio to deter thieves or if you simply enjoy your stock radio but to enjoy so much more. I like how it gives you RCA audio connections on it. The size isn't too big, so it was easy for me to strap it in place behind the dash. You can either get a converting cable for MP3 use or actually hook up RCAs for a DVD player for all to enjoy. Once connected, I pushed the AUX button on the stock radio and it was that easy. I only wish that they made these things for all model types.

Waay better than a radio transmitter!

Crutchfield Customer Review

The PIE auxiliary input is an awesome little device that allows you to listen to any mp3 player in your car with out a radio transmitter. For awhile I went back to CD's because its so hard to pick up a clear station anymore. It's great to have my mp3 back in my car with awesome sound!

The only thing I noticed is when I have it plugged in at the same time as my charger, I can hear a high pitch buzz sound behind the music but it's not really a problem because I usually have a full charge before I get into my car anyway.

I highly recommend getting one installed if you love music in your car at all times!!

I wanted a way to play my mp3 player in my car. This worked out great, better than replacing the whole unit. It can work with any brand mp3 player with the standard 3.5mm output. Although the Crutchfield price was little higher other sites, the shipping cost was better, and they shipped super quick. Installation was a breeze.

I hooked up this unit to my factory radio on my 2002 Honda Civic, no sweat. Very simple install, the audio from my iPod sounds great. Make sure your iPod is charged though, if you're charging the iPod and listening to it you'll hear a faint buzz in the background. Also, I have a Sirius Starmate 5 radio and I had an inline FM modulator to play the music directly through the radio. It sounded good, but now that I have run it through the Aux input it sounds even better. I think there's a problem with my 3/8" to RCA L/R cable though, when the car is moving there's a buzz that get louder as your accelerate. It's a little annoying, and I have since switched back to the inline FM modulator. I think it's the cable though, I need to find something with a little more shielding to get rid of the interference. Other than that, I'm very happy with this product.
