DIY question - trying to set up an iPhone plug-in for my Honda Civic LX 2002
 

Hi everyone:

I should confess that I got fed up with listening to the same music on FM stations as much as I got tired of playing old CD's over and over again in my Honda Civic LX 2002 coup (2-door model). I read somewhere that it may be possible to set up a connector wire to hook up my iPhone to play through the car's stereo. The problem is that I can't seem to find a way to pull the stereo out (well, without ripping open the front panel). Take a look, I made a picture of how it looks:

The stereo itself:

I should also say that I am not the original owner of this Civic -- I got it with the aftermarket stereo installed (that unfortunately does not have a round 3.55 mm plug-in for the iPhone in the front). What I was hoping to do is to take that stereo out and study if I may be able to plug into it from the back :) and in that case be able to wire out an extension for an easy connection to an iPhone.

Any ideas how to do it?

jesus with the spaming. anyway in order to get the radio out you have to star by removing the lighter trim seen here. http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2592209 as for the radio you can just google the make and model of the radio to see if it supports ipod connections. when you go looking for a new radio find one that connects using an ipod cable this way you can control the ipod from the radio and it will sound 100 times better then a jack plug. also you can run the wire into the glove box letting you keep the ipod in there thats what i did.

Good post Lowlife.:D
