Guys,
I'm about to start developing adapter from Honda stock stereo to PC. It will have USB interface and will allow to control your car PC or laptop (and of course Mac Mini ) from the car stereo.
Right now I have Car2PC adapter for VW/AUDI and BMW: http://indashpc.org
But looking for some beta testers and some help from Honda owners.
Anyone interested and willing to test ?
Thanks,

So you are creating something that will allow us to control our laptops and computer by using the stock car stereo? Why would we want to do that?

Hmm,
Why would you want to connect ipod to your car ?
It cannot do even small fraction of what regular PC can. You can get small PC (the size of the book or even cigarrete pack) and watch video, get GPS and Sirius/XM, phone connection, WiFi, trip computer/diagnostics, music and whatever you can imaging. You can get such a PC or PDA for $400 now.
So again, why would you need only MP3 player for the same price ?

Sounds like a cool project, are you doing it open source?

Just an update on topic.
I was able to get all cables I need and now it is finally ready for the new Hondas and Acuras. I will be conducting the beta testing on Honda adapters ( Hondas/Acuras 03+ ) for about a month. If anyone is interested in trying it out, let me know.
