Is it possible to have that wired into my 2004 stock system on my civic? I've already got the in dash CD changer. Would I be able to have an audio place do that or would I have to resort to using an FM transmitter?

Elaborate more, you have a aftermarket deck and stock speakers, or 6disc in dash cd player or just regular cd player or what.

It's all Honda, it's the factory radio and the factory in-dash CD changer exactally as show below.

oh ok. I heard that you can use a fm transmitter with it, but not 100% sure how it works, I would be interested in that.

If you don't have an AUX input, (as far as I know a stock unit would not) Your only option is to input through an FM Modulator and you would recieve the input via the FM tuner section of you system.

Really, that kind of blows, I figured there might be an extra input in the back since you could have hooked up a tape deck to that radio as well.

They are usually a dedicated input with control and audio all in one connector.

In theory an FM modulator should work perfect so not sure what the problem is. Could be some products are better (and more $$) than others or maybe they were not hooked up correctly. FM modulation systems have been around a long time. Maybe you could find someone you know or a installer that has one you could listen to.

Good luck,

FM modulator would work, it's just that it would sound like FM radio when you're paying for digital satellite. It would kind of defeat the purpose IMO.

There IS an input on the back of your radio, but it is being used by your 6-disk changer. Unless the 6-disk has an input in it for daisy chaining OEM add-ons, you are stuck with FM modulation, which usually doesnt sound too good.

Well how does it all hook in if you got the trunk cd changer and the tape deck?

 
Rep Power: 328

Either you can't have both, or there is a port for daisy chaining. If there is, then the adapter that some company sells (I have no idea, but it's been posted on here, if you search you will find it) should work just fine.

Well I have just teh regular cd play,do I have a AUX port then?

Ah, then thats the question, can you diasy chain off the in-dash cd changer.

Rob - you'll generally find that Honda will try to discourage you from trying to blend in aftermarket equipment with stock components. Your better long term solution would be to get an aftermarket HU with additional inputs.

 
Rep Power: 328

Yes, but to use it as an input for anything other than OEM accesories you need to get an adapter because it is a nomex pin plug.

That you will most likely have to check out yourself by following the headunit install DIY and looking at the back of the changer; because you are the only member on the site that I know of with the OEM 6 disk changer that posts in the ICE section.

He could always keep the stock unit and get a MyFi and run it that way...I just got mine and there's a list of 3 or 4 different explanations for how to make it work in the car. MyFi comes with a tapedeck adapter and an FM setup. If you're intent on keeping the stock deck (why I'd have no clue, but separate issue) then do what it takes to get the signal into the car. I went all new HU and speakers when I converted to satellite.
