Install MP3 player on my EX - 5/4/2008 3:07:29 PM

I bought a 2005 EX a few weeks ago, and I do not like the stock radio/CD player
It's convenient that I have a spare mp3 player that I would like to install. So, I called best buy and they said it would cost me 50 bucks to install it. I think it's just bogus... is there a way for me to install it myself??
would it be hard for a noob like me

Installing a radio is basically one of the easiest things to do on your car. haha
It you want a general walk through then go check out

and go pick up a Haynes manual and that will basically walk you through how to take out your stock radio.

No the harness is not there
You have to buy a harness that will plug into the car (the plug which was plugged into the stock radio) and the other end will look like loose wires. Those wires tie into the harness that came with your aftermarket radio.
Visit that site that i put on there. It will tell you what you need.
