Hi Everyone.
As this is my first real post I hope that I don't make too many protocol errors. I got a TomTom 910 as a birthday present (may not have been the best choice but what the heck!). It has about 7GB of MP3 storage residual to the navi function.
You can guess the question!
How do you connect to the Honda sound system... I am assuming that there is some way of accessing the factory Auxillary Input through the back of the radio. Part # 08B06-SJC-100 ($59) is called an MP3 attachment. No idea whether this compatible with the TomTom hardware though.... I understand that there is now a module for Ipod etc. From previous posts, I gather this allows control through the steering wheel buttons etc. Clearly that is what I would like for the TomTom.
If anyone has been through this with the TomTom I would very much appreciate any insight on how you did it! Phoned Honda Parts directly and they said there was a module for the CR-V and the Civic but nothing yet for the Ridgeline....
Thanks!

PS Just curious but has anyone ever "upgraded" from the non NAVI (aka Moonroof but NO NAVI) to the NAVI after the fact. I am wondering if this would have been a cheaper option given that I would then have Nav, X-FM and an MP3 jack???(!!!)
PSS Agree with all comments about why is MP3 NOT standard on this truck is beyond me...
