There definitely is a difference in the display abilities between the 06-08 and the 09 model non-navi head units though, based on what the owner's manuals for the cars say.
But the pre 09 HUs might still be functional enough for text display.

Sorry about the long delay, it's finals at school and I was planning to follow up on this thread once exams are over. DICE electronics is the only one that supports fully functioning text display, however there are several conditions that must be meet: you must have an IPOD, you must have SAT radio, and the final catch is the SAT radio must be disconnected in order for the module to send text to the head unit.
I've spoken to all USB module manufacturers about enabling text on their Honda head units and they all said the same thing "not yet available" with one further saying that the head unit (Honda's radio text display) are supposingly "locked" (like proprietary cell phones). Until Honda, or the manufacturer of their radios releases the information we unfortunately won't have text display. It'll probably be a matter of time (hopefully soon) that these manufacturers will be able to get the text display to work.
A few USB module manufacturers that have not been mentioned in this forum have been popping up and I have yet to review them. Ideally, there would be a module out there that not only supports text, USB drivers, IPODs (and charges the IPOD), and bluetooth with call display (call displayed as text on the head unit), if someone finds this before me and posts it here -props to you!
