Anybody know if they changed anything on the 05s? It looks the same but I'd hate to start pulling on crap and break something in a brand new car. Also, does the trim just pull off that holds the shift boot for us 5 speed guys?
I just replaced my stock unit in my 03 EX coupe, 5spd. It was not difficult at all. It looks much harder in the pictures. All the trim peices came off ok with a bit of force and they all went back on perfectly. The only part that took me the longest was removing the factory deck from the bracket. I had to discount all the climate controls to get access to some of the screws that were holding the stereo in place. Once that was done it all went back together nice. And sounds really awesome. Totally time about 2 hours. But now that i know what i'm doing i could do it all over again in about 15-20 mins.
I just wanted to say thank you for having this thread up. Because of it I was able to put my new HU in myself for the first time. I'll post pics later. Thanks again! I wouldn't have been able to do it without this thread.
I have a few questions please. I have an 05 sedan. It appears as the surrounding trim unit must be removed ?? (very tight fit) Will the trim come past the heater and fan controls ?? Also anyone know if the Metra 70-1721 Honda/Acura 98-Up is the proper adaptor for this model ?? The Metra site is kind of unclear. www.metraonline.com
