Hey all,
I just bought an Ice>Link Plus (I20-HONDA-R) from BestBuy earlier today as an 'open box' special for $90. I got home an it looks like the plactic packages were intact, so I think I have a new unit with the exterior box only opened. (v2.02?)
I have a 2003 Honda Accord EX-L w/ the in-dash 6 CD changer. The box says it should work with this hardware.
I installed the unit and it works pretty good; powers on, detected a Honda install, plays through CD-C, and track up/down works. The install took about 20 minuts (God bless the putty knife) with no real surprises. Until...
I noticed that the volume seemed a little low- then I noticed tis was because I was only getting audio from the right channel; if I fade to left I get dead silence.
I took everything apart again and re-seated all the cables and the same results. (I actually did this three times as the DIN came out twice during installation).
I seen one post on the internet where the cabling between the head unit and the Ice>Link was incorrect and he had a Dension guy walk him trough correcting this; has anyone else heard of this or know any more details?
Does anyone know where I can find a pin-out for the AUX port on the Honda radio so I can check the cabling myself?
I have opened requests with Dension, but they are only open M-F and I am taking trip (10 hour drive) on Monday- I would like to get this working for the trip or I may go even a little more crazy (or I could bu an FM dock for the week and return it when I get back...)
Once I get back from the trip I will take it all appart and post an install guide to help others.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
