I personally use an Insignia 8gig model and find the sound excellent with out to much difficulty in using it while driving.
Has anyone cured the problem of poor radio reception and if so, how?
Thanks for any info.
Regarding the Navigation.. I am having second thoughts. Any opinions on this option? I think they quoted ~$1800 for this. Is this the latest navigation technology? Will it be obsolete in a few years? Will it help in resale value?
What is bundled with this? Navigation/XMRadio/VSA.. anything else?
Is this the same system that has been in Honda Vehicles for the past several years?
Anyone with first hand experience with this system?
Thanks in advance
John
BTW, did they give you an MSRP on the vehicle?
This is regarding poor radio reception. I have read some of the previous posts and have a similar problem. I just purchased a Honda Fit 2 weeks ago. I have a long commute to work and I work long hours so the only chance I have to listen to the news, is on the way to work. The reception that I get on both NPR stations is bad. I hear static no matter where I am. I have owned multiple cars (old ones) and have never had such bad reception. I took it to the dealer and they supposedly compared it to another Fit and told me it was fine. I stayed there an hour and argued with the manager of the service station. Now that I think about it, he was absolutely full of it. He told me that the radio sounded bad b/c it was a new radio and got such excellent reception that it picked uo absolutely every sound and that the older cars that I have had, sounded better b/c the radios were faded from age. I tried adjusting the base like he had suggested and drove to work yesterday and the reception was still bad. I had to turn the radio off and drive in silence. I called the Honda # that was listed in a previous post and they are looking into it. They told me that the antenna might be bad. If you have poor or even average reception in your Honda Fit, call Honda. The more people who call and complain, the more Honda will listen to us. Hondas are more expensive b/c they are higher quality and we should expect nothing less.
Call Honda to complain at 1-800-999-1009. I will let you all know if I get any results.

I know you can plug an i-pod into the usb jack and use the radio to control it. But can you do the same thing for a satellite radio component?
I would call the dealership, especially if you purchased the extended warranty, I just had my gear shift knob replaced free, so I would give it a try.
Suggestions as to likely NAV issue or other (sensor?) issue that prevents correct display operation when set to 'AUTO'?
what kind of cable do i need to connect my ipod to the aux port? will the ipod then be controlled by the radio?
thanks
Does anybody use an iPHone 3G in the Fit Sport? Does it Play well with the Stereo system? I have many Questions:
1. Does it charge the iPhone 3G?
2. Does it display the Song name/Artist on the radio?
3. How is the Quality of audio on the Fit Sport..
Just would like if anybody has a Fit Sport and uses iPhone 3G as the iPod in the car system.
The dealer is a far drive away, but ultimately i will go in for the test drive and find out myself. ... Just Curious!!!
Thanks,
Mark
Mark: I have tried only a first-gen iPhone, with 2.2 firmware in my Fit Sport/no nav. My best answers to your questions:
1. I think so; the iPhone shows a little plug over the battery icon
2. Yes
3. Quality sounds perfectly fine to me, though I am no audiophile
One odd note - when I connect my iPhone it gives a message on the phone saying this is not a supported accessory, then it suggests I put it in airplane mode to avoid interference. I just click through and say no and it works just fine and behaves as it's supposed to. But I so far have not tested it enough to see if there's any GSM buzz.

Turn the round knob next to the odometer reading, turn it all the way to the right, this makes the dashboard lights go the brightest. Now turn the knob one or two clicks to
the left (counter clockwise). Now your navigation will honor the 'auto' setting from day to night. Silly, but Honda dealer showed me this is how to make it work. Bye... :shades: P.s. In addition to being able to turn this knob, you can also push it to reveal the remaining 'oil life'. Take care.
Waiting for a kind response from you side
Thanks
