Hey guys and gals! I'm looking at buying the PXAMG adapter for my 09 Accord and was curious as to if anyone on here has some experience with it and how well it handles podcasts. I frequently listen to podcasts and they are actually played more than music. However, I have yet to find any info on how user friendly it is sorting through the podcasts on an iPod. Thanks in advance for any info!

I'm guessing not many people have the PXAMG?

I've got a PXAMG adapter in my Montego. Overall it works well with my ipod - I sequentially go through the items on my iPOD either by title or artist. But the "ease" of choosing will likely be dependent on the interface into the radio head unit. ON my Montego, it uses the Ford factory FWD and REV buttons for the CD player to go up and down the list (also with my steering wheel buttons), but to choose whether it's artist or title you have to hit the 2 button on the preset list and choose which method you'd prefer, then start going up the list... Once you get the hang of it it's not too bad, but it's not the best UI I've seen. But overlal the sound quality is excellent. and the thing I like most about it is I can keep the ipod on the covered console bin (where I ran the connection wires) and forget it's in there - it turns off and on with the car and is always charged. I have an old iPod Nano I use for the car - sort of a dedicated unit - that is completely hidden.....
Let me know if you need more "usability" info.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! I chose PXAMG because I've read it retains full XM and also playlists, but I was just curious how it handles Podcasts. Are those in there own playlist or do you know if I would have to search for them through 'Artist' or what have you? Thanks again!
