Hey all I'm new here but have been reading the forums. I recently purchased a HON98-AUX for my 2005 Civic HX 5-speed. I checked out the following giudes

However my car is slightly different then I stumbled onto this guide and my car looks exactly like this: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/1...nda-civic.html

I've tried it but I cannot remove this part of the console. Does anyone know of any other way? I've already got everything else ready I just can't remove this darn part. Thanks in advance!

I was able to get it install and it sounds great I took some pics with my iPhone since the battery on my digital camera is bad. I'll post them up later on.

Ok guys here's the pics and walkthrough. I know my car is filthy it's been raining so haven't been able to wash it before I installed this. It took me about an hour simply due to the fact I noticed my console was different from all the other consoles in the guides I've read. Then when I found a guide that was based on my console had a little trouble taking the piece out. You have to use a lot of force... don't worry it won't break that's what I was scared of when I started this thread.

All the tools and parts I used:


My RCA to 3.2mm wire spliced and red, white and ground wires separated


Prepare to solder.


Soldering job


Soldering job (reverse side)
PLEASE NOTE I used tiny pieces of electrical tape on the red, white and grounding wires after I was done then wrapped the wire in more tape to keep it secure. I forgot to take a pic of that.


Part of my console removed and the HON98-AUX installed. This part took the longest due to my hands being too big but I eventually got it in there.
PLEASE NOTE I have a 2005 Civic HX which is slightly different than other models I only needed to remove this part of my car instead of the stick shift way. I followed this guide: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/1...nda-civic.html


I took this piece out and drilled a 1/4'' hole in the middle... I copied this guide (https://www.civicforums.com/forums/2...installed.html) I even used the same exact 3.2mm front panel mount. If you have an Altex around the item number is 502K and it costs about $1.60.


Everything put back together. My car is filthy


Testing one last time with my girl Tanisha
