also on a side note, with the release of the new zunes is there a cable planned to be released sometime in the future by dice that will allow audio and charging the same way the current ipod cable is?
I responded to your email and I'll cut as paste my response here;
You're in a bind - the 04 TSX does not support text or XM. The kit will work still! But you won't be able to see any real information. The most you'll be able to see it is the last 2 digits of the frequency you're listening to, for example if I was listening to 106.7 The display will say 67. That's the most we can eek out of the car. In 05 the TSX supported text and XM radio.
In 2003 Honda radio began to support XM, but they didn't roll it out to all their cars at once.
No, the Zunes don't have the market share to make this a profitable venture, and that's assuming the Zune's firmware is able to handle an integration kit. Apple has 80% of the market share. Microsoft needs to step up and subsidize development costs
