Hi,
Thanks again for the reply.
Sorry iam not sure i fully understand what you were saying.
I trying to connect my iphone 3g to the car stereo system. But i don't want to loose my CD changer in this process and i don't have an XM radio. I believe my car is with the default factory settings for a 2004 Honda Accord EX and i didn't add anything extra.
Can you please tell me if i buy the part you mentioned "USA SPEC PA15-HON2" i could still use my CD changer and Aux port connected to iphone?
Also i saw some parts which changes the center console as well which iam not intended to do. Iam sorry iam not that technical about car electronics.
Also will that part would be able to charge my iphone?
After i bought the part online, do i have to take to dealer to fix it or any other place where they can do it cheaper , as i don't want to risk it doing myself.
Please let me know.
Thanks again.

That unit you won't loose the cd changer even if its not built in the dash unit (all tied in with the radio/climate unit and not a stand alone). Yes it will also charge the iphone too. Dealer will charge a lot to put it in. May want to look at Best Buy or Ultimate Electronics or another custom shop. My guess they won't charge more than $80 for install.

So are you sure any USDM 7th gen accords came with a stock external CD changer? At this point I'm just curious. I've worked on quite a few 7th gens and never come across one, nor have I ever heard someone mention of one online. Just want to know for the future.

I don't know if there are any USDM 7th gens with stock external never seen any working on them. There could be out there, not a lot of people look on forums. Doesn't hurt to keep that in consideration with the possibility of having an external.

If you look harder, there is in fact a 6 disc DIN size changer which goes in the pocket location and a trunk mount 12 disc all OEM, available from h and a accessories dot com. Just to throw it out there.

I used a USA-Spec interface for iPod in the 2003 Accord. It worked well. I suppose the iPhone works the same way as the iPod?
Use the dashboard controls to move to next song, FF, previous song, etc. Our LX didn't have steering wheel controls, but I bet they'll work.
You create playlists called HONDA1 HONDA2 etc. and the interface pretends that these are the 6 discs in the CD changer. Or you set the iPod to shuffle, and it just goes through the shuffle playlist.
I guess there is a CD-changer available as a dealer-installed accessory. Never seen one in real life, & it wasn't installed stock in the cars. But that's where the USA-Spec adapter plugs into the stereo, in place of the changer.
