Anybody w/ 07 ex-l ever removed the radio? - Honda Pilot

I am trying to find out if there is an aux input already behind the head unit so I'll know what supplies I need to set up my iPod before I go pulling off trim pieces.

The AUX functionality of the stock head unit only functions if you have the Honda MusicLink cable and hardware installed.

If you're incredibly lucky (and have this already), the iPod cable will be located in your glovebox.

There is NO AUX input on the radio (like a USB port or 1/4" jack).

You can get third party aux input adapters though.

Subscribed. I'm interested in doing this on my 08.

Krazykarguy, are you on the saab92x.com forum? I just sold my 06 to berns.

Hey guys, I have done this on my 2003 and on my Dad's 2011 - I have a feeling the 2007 is similar enough to the 2003.

That said, if you guys purchase a USASpec iPod adapter from Crutchfield they will include AWESOME diagrams/instructions on how to remove your radio (along with speakers, etc)

Pricing there is on par everywhere else and the USASpec device works great on both Pilots!

*edit*

The USASpec device has an iPod specific cable as well as RCA connections for an additional AUX input as well

Yup - same guy. The Internet is a small place, right?

I just purchased the GTA Car Kit and installed it this morining on my 2003 EX-L. Cost was $99 (free shipping), ordered on Sunday arrived Friday...took 20 min total time for me to install and test. Works perfectly. Below is a link to their installation video for 2006 Pilot and a link their website.

this is the one I used for my 2007 Pilot EX-L:

CPHONAUX3.5 2003-2011 Acura/Honda Auxiliary Input Converter

As one of the other posters said, it takes about 20 minutes or so to install assuming you do something simple with the cable like drop it into the glove box. Pry off the trim around the Stereo head unit from the left (driver's) side. Once that is off the installation is a breeze.
