Yes, the Blitzsafe interfaces work the same on the 2004 as the 2003 head units. The head units are identical.pilot04 said:I ordered a 2004 SS EX-L and was comtemplating adding the alpine cd changer. I need to know if the blitzsafe adapter will work with an 2004 h/u. I think that the h/u is the same as an 2003. Any one add a changer to a 2004 yet?
If you are planning on using these devices to play aduio through the head unit, I would install the Blitzsafe HON/AUX DMX V.1HDTVEE said:Hi Steve:
thanks for the info on the Blitzsafe for cd. What do you think if I am just using an external audio source with RCA's, like a dvd or laptop to feed the in Pilot audio?
Steve, thanks for the confirmation on an 04 h/u! From reading the other posts in this forum. I plan to go with an Alpine CHA-S634 with the Blitzsafe HON/ALP DMX V.1D and Alpine KCA-130B Ai-Net to M-Bus cable. I think that should be all I need to do this job. Are there any newer model cd changers that would fit this job as well?

To make the installation easier under the Driver's seat, I purchased the OEM CD Changer Attachment Kit (Part # 08B26-S9V-100). It can be purchaed from tim @ hondacuraworld for $ 76.70 (includes shipping). That should be all that you need for this job...except the RCA cables for the other device.pilot04 said:Steve, thanks for the confirmation on an 04 h/u! From reading the other posts in this forum.

I use the HON-AUX adapter, which is similar to the BlitzSafe product. The sound is great.HDTVEE said:... What do you think if I am just using an external audio source with RCA's, like a dvd or laptop to feed the in Pilot audio?
You bet. The membership level is simply based on the total number of posts you've made. Something like:HDTVEE said:THANKS!

The adapter I ordered two days ago should be delivered today. I'll be installing it in an 03 EX-RES, and I understand there are no changes to the audio/video setup for 04. I'll test it with the Roady and my iPod, and let you know what I think, hopefully later this evening.max_501 said:Does anyone know if these adapters will work with the 04 Pilot EX-RES?
I know I already have RCA jacks in the rear console, but they don't do me any good because I want to use my MP3 player while my kids are watching movies so I need jacks that are upfront and connected to the head unit via the CD Changer interface rather than using the AUX/DVD mode. Just not sure if that will work.
Thanks!
I installed a Blitzsafe Aux In Converter today that I ordered here two days ago http://shop.store.yahoo.com/logjam/blitzhonauxdmxv1.html (thanks to a link in another post by SteveLuman) and it really KICKS! I set it up for my XM Roady, but it is super with an iPod as well. Here's a pic of the iPod test before I stuffed the adapter behind the head unit and ran the wire out to the box under the center of the dash.max_501 said:Does anyone know if these adapters will work with the 04 Pilot EX-RES?

Here's a pic of my iPod connected to a Blitzsafe Aux in Converter, with everything buttoned up. The foam pad set from wwong is great for keeping the iPod from sliding around.max_501 said:Does anyone know if these adapters will work with the 04 Pilot EX-RES?

Another honda-pilot.org member, wwong, offers a number of great products for the Pilot, including foam pads that fit into the center console and rear activity tray, and 1. protect the surface of the console and tray, and 2. keep stuff from sliding around. See his post at http://honda-pilot.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5244 for more details. It's great stuff!Laguna Sol said:Jay, what is the "foam pad set from wwong?" ...snip
