It kinda looks like an RSX. I dunno tho. Yea that it sort of the first thing I ask myself when buying a car: "How easy is the stock stereo going to be to remove?" ------------- "I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview

Dude - I hate to tell ya this - but I'd get a JL cleansweep instead of a new HU. ------------- "I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview

Ditto on the CleanSweep. That looks like another 250 dollar kit that will not be available for about 3 or 4 months.

AND it's gonna be data bus, too... Not gonna be an easy swap AT ALL for a do-it-yourselfer.
Kit should be about 4-6 months, and if you are lucky, there will be a harness avaialable around about the same time.
JL Cleansweep.

You can get one of these dash kits to get a new HU in the car:

That's because you're a rookie, Rookie. And this site, which is geared toward professionals, doesn't recognize fleabay as a valid source for car audio. Read the forum rules, Rookie. ------------- Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

And you CAN post domains, but you CAN'T post links to eBay.
Geez, doesn't ANYBODY READ THE FREAKIN' RULES ANYMORE?

i work at a jl dealer and i am personally a fan of the cleansweep.. but dude... metra makes a kit for your car... acutally looks pretty good too.... so change the radio... u will be happier later... trust me... got to metra's site and get the part number... then get it ordered... like i said.. i like the cleansweep... but for 250 bucks u would rather have something u can connect your ipod to, maybe add some bluetooth... etc..... later.....

there can be only one.......
