At the site mentioned above, I can't find anything for a Zune.
Any input on this cable?

Sorry, that's no good. The radio in the Ridgeline uses Honda-designed connectors, that is for an 'aftermarket' Pioneer deck. You have to go with an adapter box as stated above - a cable alone does not work with Honda radios.

Also, 99% of what you find will either be iPod or RCA/stereo inputs... you'll have a hard time finding a dedicated box for your Zune.

Go to the dark side (Apple) while you still can. Installed my USA SPEC Ipod interface last weekend. No problems what so ever.

I really appriciate your reply but I don't think you should have bashed my Zune.

Do you have one? I'd guess not.

The only problem with the Zune is Microsoft waited too long to get in the market.

Different strokes for different folks. Kinda like having a Ridgeline instead of a mainstream truck.

I love my Zune.

Look into some of the aftermarket input products. As an apple user I opted to go with USA Spec and it has performed flawlessly. Since you are a Zune owner, the iPod integration won't be of much use to you. However, the USA Spec (and most others) will take an RCA input as well. From there, it's fairly easy to find cables to go from the 3.5 mm jack on your Zune to an RCA.

wrenrj1 - you have it all wrong. having recently made the jump from a PC to a MacBook I'd argue that the dark side is Microsoft (the evil empire).

In your case, if you are hearing voices... it's probably Talk Radio!

In all seriousness, thanks for all of the pics and writeup's! You have given great information, and given many of me... we... us, great ideas!

Those aren't really speakers.....they're my mini satellite dishes that I use in my search for intellgent life on other planets. After listening to the most recent presidental race flap about Hillary and her dance with death in Bosnia or whereever, I've decided to ignore any planets that have politcal parties.

You're right, I mostly use this system to listen to talk radio, specifically Howard Stern, although I haven't found any beautiful blonde volunteers to try his experiment with sound waves and bass speakers like from his movie Private Parts.

Thanks FIREFIGHTER, I have been looking at these products and that's the route I'll probably go. I have a wireless FM setup, but I find it pretty weak on performance.
And Yes, Horned Owl, I love my Zune too.
Thanks again for the input
