Adding USB connection for 2011 EX-L

[Jenine]

My hubby and I just got our 2011 Pilot EX-L this weekend, without a navigation system, and I'd like to have a USB connection to use with my IPod. The AUX connection works for audio, but I need the USB to display the song titles.

Any suggestions as to if the stock head unit in the EX-L has the USB output on the back of it, and if it would be worth digging into the dash to add the wiring needed for this? We've added the USB to the radio in our other car, but I can't find info as to whether this head unit has the capability and it's just not connected to anything at this option level.

I'm in the same bout, and am considering this product:

Not sure how easy it would be for me to change out the stock unit, but this adapter claims to work with the 2011 Pilot unit. Basically gives you the iPhone USB connector, and lets you control it from the radio/steering wheel controls.
