Finished the install this morning. The only thing that bothered me was the fact the mirror package did not have a new spring clip as called for in the instructions. However, I found that the existing clip seems to work fine in holding up the mirror. The Honda instructions were very good. Too bad they don't expain how to remove clips but this is always a problem when you gotta remove OEM parts. Managed to remove everthing without breaking or damaging any parts.

Will be installing an aftermarket Ipod interface this afternoon.

Works great. It's one of those things that you stop noticing because it works so well. Is it worth the cost? Guess that's something you'll have to decide for yourself. I view it as a safety device so I feel its worth it. I have it in my 02 Altima so I was surprised that 4-year later, it's still only an option. IMO it should be standard equipment.
