Guuuuud Evening one and all....
So, In my short time on this forum, I've learned 2 things today.....
#1 - My heartfelt thanks to all of you who have posted about the xcarlink installs and my thanks to the gods who made the civinfo post / link..... made stripping my dash to have a looksie pre- purchasing an xcarlink etc so much easier. (it's here if anyone needs it.... http://www.civinfo.com/wiki/index.php?***le=Install_Xcarlink_in_2007_Accord)
#2 - I could have just asked on here anyway!
Basically I wanted to figure out if I needed the Y splitter cable to go with an xcarlink install. Having the exec model with sat nav and 6 cd changer and HFT Phone in one unit, I naturally ***umed I would. Turns out I dont! Nothing plugged into the white plug port on the back of my headunit... and everything works fine (haven't purchased the xcarlink yet!)
So, my query now is..... All I want out of this is to be able to pop in a USB stick with tons of music on it, not fussed on using SD or MP3 etc etc... do I really need an expensive xcarlink / Grom or are there any cheaper options available?
Saw this on Amazon...https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0060UGFTY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3EEN2OK7O9U8A&coliid=I1I7T2MJBMEZ0Q
Aaaand this....https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00G2AHTZQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3EEN2OK7O9U8A&coliid=I15SVBDC9TLT01
I know theres only 15 quid ish difference... but considering all I want to use it for is the USB Slot.... what would be your tips and advice here?
Any tips?
