(More customer reviews)My first adaptor for my Acura TSX 2008 with Navigation was from DICE DICE i-Honda-R4-5v iPod Integration Kit for Acura and Honda (03+) with Navigation. The DICE worked OK, although when it emulated an XM radio it flashed info on the LED display and scrolled info on the LCD touch screen constantly. This constant flashing and scrolling I found so distracting that I configured the DICE to emulate a CD changer and used the iPod itself to choose my tunes.This worked fine for a year but then the DICE stopped functioning despite much help from DICE technical support, and I bought a second DICE. Unlike the first DICE, the second DICE wouldn't let me use my iPod to choose the song I wanted to listen to. I called Tech assistance and they saidto the effect, "Oh well that happens with some iPods." This was disappointing because the CD changer emulation doesn't allow one to see the song title. I used this second DICE for about 6 months, but that stopped functioning too. So I gave up on DICE and bought a USA Spec IPod adaptor USA Spec iPod® Interface Connects your iPod to select 2004-up Acura factory radios . This works much better in both CD emulation and XM ratio emulation, with no scrolling or constant flashing.And it lets me choose songs on my iPod. I suppose I could complain that the info on the LCD screen is truncated, so sometimes I have toguess the song title and artist, but I know when to quit while I'm ahead. So as long as the USA SPec keeps on working , I'll be happy.
