It has to be custom made. One person does this. For the tune of $1,200 I believe.

Only a Metra kit and single-DIN HU will work up top, everything else is custom or cubby mounted.

Search next time please.

Check the later years? I think the factory stereo plays WMA & MP3, at least by 2007. My 2007 Civic plays them, so I bet the Accord would too.

Don't know about the 8th gen, but the 06-07 does not support MP3s or WMAs. As finch said, there is no double DIN kit for the 7th gen. If you want an indash, a flip out is your only option.

what if you get the single din metra kit and do some cutting and re-arrange the knobs? has anyone tried?

That would be best done with the OEM unit. That's exactly what someone has done. It took a lot of work, and requires skill and talent to make it look good.

any pics? to see what the final result looked like?

Brandon what forum was it that guy had his build log on?

If you search for a 7th gen accord with a double din you will come across it, there are only a handful of installs, if that. Unless your an expert with bondo, prepping plastic for paint, and actually painting well with rattle can just forget about it.

I honestly have no clue, you showed me the link. Haha, either way... I don't see this happening.

Nope, definitely wasn't me I don't go on any other car related forums. But yeah, if you have to ask, your not up to par to pull this off.
