Houstonjovi,

It's simple: just click on the words "private messages:" on the top right corner under where it says "Welcome, Houstonjovi" (if you're logged in).

This will open up your Private message inbox with a control panel on the left side. Just click on "Edit Profile" (3rd choice down under Settings and Options) and you will be able to fill in your profile info.

Unfortunately , I can't help you with your question regarding the i-Pod connection on your EX.

I know the EX-L comes with an AUX jack in the centre console and all you need to get is a cord with 2 headphone jacks on each end to connect the i-Pod to the jack. The radio has an AUX setting and the i-Pod can be played through the stereo speakers. I got my cord for 4.00 at a local electronics store.

Honda also has i-Linc attachment accessory that connects the i-Pod to the stereo where you can control playlists and search for songs using the radio controls. It even charges your i-Pod's battery. Up here in Canada, it costs about 150.00 to buy the i-Linc attachment and another 300.00 to have it installed by a Honda technician.

Hopefully, the EX will have the jack as well.

Will,

My EX has an AUX port in the center console next to the power outlet. The cord you described did the trick for me, too. Much better than the FM transmitter I was using in my previous car.

Hi Ralph,

Glad to hear it worked out for you!
The AUX jack does sound so much better than using an FM transmitter. You can also get a car charger for the ipod and use it together with the headphone jack to charge it at the same time you play it. However, I've noticed that at times, some sound quality is compromised by doing so.
