Default My 05 Accord stereos are broken, there is also no power in the plug

I recently bought a 2005 Honda Accord and it came with the factory radio and an aftermarket one under it, neither of them work or even turn on. I also noticed that power plug under them doesn’t work either. I was planning on getting a new touchscreen stereo anyway, but don’t know if it ready to install or if something needs to be fixed since the others don’t work.

So, the 2003-2005 Accords had bad radios and the kit to swap them is expensive ($400). The lower radio was a way around that for less money. No power means a blown fuse most likely. So start there to get power back.

When you're looking for a new radio, keep the expense of the kit in mind. I've done a few of the Android based touchscreens in this car before and they can turn out pretty decent. I usually stick with xtrons for these.

Alright I did a quick Google search and found this one
Amazon Amazon
I don’t know if it will fix the problem, what do you think.

That's actually the same model that I installed a few months ago for my sister-in-law (Amazon asked me if I wanted to buy another one).

Her only complaint is that Apple CarPlay doesn't work as-is and you have to buy a separate adapter to get it to function. And most functions require WiFi to work, which means you have to turn your phone into a hotspot if you're not at home.
