Excellent DIY, thanks! But just a quick note about this:

The GROM USB module displays all track details; artist name; song name and album (according to their website).

Since this is pretty much a make or break feature for me, I went looking at the GROM site.
If you look at the installation manual they have linked there, it seems to suggest that the above is NOT the case.
It would appear that it will function in this respect just as the XCARLINK and even the old Honda ipod module do, with 7 virtual CDs supported, and no actual display of artist or title information.
Given that this is something that appears to be common to all "retrofit" solutions, including Honda's own ipod module, I suspect this is simply a limitation of the 06-08 head unit, and is not something that can be worked around.
It seems likely at this point that if we want full track/title/artist information to be displayed, the only option is to swap out to an 09+ head unit and install the rest of the OEM USB aux system.
But that note aside, this is an excellent DIY. Thanks for taking the time to put it together, especially with the convenient download.
