my accord is a 96 so witch of the 2 do i need?? 17-1720 or 17-1721??

2003 Accord Wiring Harness Issues
I really need some help. Is there a wiring harness out there where you can have both the stock 03 accord coupe screen and your aftermarket deck powered? Only my deck is powered on, so I can not see the time or my ac controls at night on my stock screen because only one can be powered on. Thanks.
Is there ISO mounting brackets for the radio on a 5th gen? My Accord has an aftermarket CD player thats loose, I dont like that. I know on my Civic it has the mounting brackets and they bolts to an aftermarket radio so it doesnt fly around and harder to steal.

In my 97 accord there was nothing at all. The single DIN that was in there was just sitting in the space.
I could not figure out what was missing and how I was going to mount my double DIN DVD / NAV unit securely.
What I ended up doing was using some thick plastic pieces and some JB Weld and made my own mounting system. It was a PITA but came out good.

radio blues
The radio/cd player on our 1998 Accord ex doesn't play cd's anymore. How easy is it to swap it out for another Honda radio/cd player? will ones from other years work? are there any Premium ones or upgrades I could plug right back in from Honda?
