OK, I seem to be reading mixed answers here. I have a 2003 Accord EX-L sedan with navi. I primarily was only looking for a good iPod connection. Especially one that uses the steering wheel controls and has text display with an AUX input. It looks like the i-Honda-R3_g2 with the R4 cable is what I need. However in the post you submitted above, you say that text will not be displayed on the 2003 because they did not have XM. On your website, the compatability chart shows the 2003 coupe/sedan w/ NAV will show text. I do have Navi but not XM. I have a button labeled CD/AUX instead of the CD/XM. So which is true? Will I have text display or not.

Also, I hadn't really considered HD before but since you say that the HD_Honda does work on the 2003 models would it work the same. Keeping steering wheel controls and show text with my Navi unit? I know you can add the optional iPod cable and it comes with an AUX input with the HD unit so if it will work, I see a whole package in one to work with my car. Thanks for the info.
