Hey guys, just wanted to let you guys know that I was reading up on Motegis tutorial and decided to try it out (not on my NSX yet) but on my brothers 2000 Toyota Corolla. So I went to Circuit City tonight to purchase the parts. They had the US spec toyota adapter in stock, as well as the DF-HON for the NSX. I found it in the Car stereo section. Then I was looking for the Belkin Auto kit, I found it located in the IPOD auto accesory section (Right next to the FM transmitters), it took me a good 10 mins to find it too and even the employees didnt know where they stocked it.
So after that I needed the Stereo Aux to headphone cable (Stereo mini), I couldnt find it, neither could their employees. So they suggested Radio shack. Luckily it was a block away. They had plenty of Stereo Minis in stock. They had different brands as well. So I picked up a 3ft cable for 9 bucks. On the package it says AUX Y cable, just so u guys dont get confused bc I originally asked them for the Stereo Mini cable and they had no clue what I was talking about.
Anyways, I came home, grabbed a drill with a philips bit, a flathead screw driver, a flashlight and literally.......(NO EXAGGERATION)........approximately 12 minutes later I was done. Done to the point where I neatly tucked all the wires, routed the AUX cable through the glove compartment, snapped back in the radio dash piece,plugged in the belkin, cranked up the IPOD NANO and it sounded AWESOME!!
However, I could not use any of the stereo functions to control the songlist. The buttons that normally would control the songs just paused and muted them. So for now, choosing the songs via IPOD is just fine by me.
Granted I am in NO way handy, especially when it comes to electronics, but thanks to Motegi's writeup I felt like a pro. Next I will attempt this same procedure on my NSX. Thanks guys! :redface:
