| Is there an IPOD cable/connector for the RTS? I think the RTL has it standard but I don't know about the RTS. |

This topic gets beat to death every once in a while --- the nav equipped rtl (I think) has an aux in but the others don't. Those others need a converter that plugs into the back of the radio - the SNHOND3 works with Honda and Acura radios, and most importantly to us on this site, it works with the Ridgeline. A google search will help you find price and availability. Installation is pretty easy but requires taking the dash apart (a little) and pulling the radio out to plug it into the back of the head unit.
Disclaimer - I only have personal experience with my 06 RTL w/o nav. |

I purchased a USASPEC Ipod Interface for my RTX, I found it online and asked one of my local audio shops if any of their vendors had them and they did so they got it in and installed it for me. It's cool. It's better than the Honda Interface. You can control it from your stereo or steering wheel controls. It basically emulates a cd changer in which you can create 5 playlists simulating a cd disk 1-5 and disk 6 is saved for all songs on the IPOD or you can just pick up your ipod and click away. Anyway, here is the info about it. This is the model i bought for my RTX, I've had it for several months and love it.

| almost forgot, the only downside is the if you have a factory cd changer, it must be disconnected, but most IPOD users I know don't even worry about cds anymore. THE 2Y model allows you to hook back up your nav or XM device so you do not lose those if your truck does have those installed or if you wish to get them in the future. |
