I thought Honda would have offered a back up camera with the nav/i-mid but that's a no go, at least with the Kenwood you can add it and play DVD's.
yeah im not sure how it works exactly but i know there us to be a RF signal back in the day that would allow the the steering wheel controls to work but now there is a small box unit that is plug and play.....i wish i had specifics but i would have to check with my stereo guy for the details.
I've never used it, but a friend has told me it's excellent; works very well
Have you seen the newer navi units out? they are very clean with minimal buttons since everything is touch. But again, this goes back to functionality for me.....you can do so much more with a aftermarket navi.
cars that come with XM typically service for free for the first 3 months. Have it in my truck, not worth the money. hook up your ipod and go
Call XM and ask for the $35 for 6 month's "everything" deal if your interested, 6 buck's a month for over 100 ch's ain't bad IMO.
I mean more so the clean factory installation. I realize there are aftermarket ways to obtain a similar look, but something about the factory setup is always a preference to me. There's only so much I want to do anyway in there, for me at least, there's a limit to the need for functionality. Music, GPS, nothing else needed lol Oh yea, iPhone.
Yeah, I heard sometimes they give a free trial period but what happens after the trial period? I really don't want it and will not use it so do I just let the free trial period run out? After the trial period, would I still get charged? Will the receiver disconnect?
That's good, but I don't see myself ever using it. Like Talon I would also use my phone or ipod, standard radio, etc.
Yeah, I believe it comes with XM enabled already but just wonder what will happen if I don't use and I don't want to pay a monthly subscription.
After the time expires you simply won't get the service anymore. If you wanted it, you'd just buy a subscription on top of the trial they give. If you do nothing, you get nothing, nothing will happen.

i see what you mean....but i like to have the back up camera and dvd for my chick on long trips. Plus the 3D mapping is really cool too. I believe it gives you much more control over the sound adjustment and tuning, but i see what you mean, you dont want to "hack" into the factory set up anymore than you need to.
Yes this is true, but trust me they will BLOW YOU UP once its about to expire! they are ruthless in contacting you to suscribe and if you ever need to call them good luck! read up on their customer service......world class terrible! just be warned......do your homework. But if its really $35 for 6 months thats actually pretty good!
and that was only 2 months ago so it could still be possible to get that that. But you can tell he is clearly not a fan of XM and their billing policies.......they are a nightmare to cancel with so just be warned. This was a huge topic on my Raptor forum and there is MANY people that are very unhappy with XM and they way they operate. So just be careful, thats all im saying
Oh I didn't know that you would have to pay for Honda to update the maps/etc.
