This is my first post so sorry if im doing something wrong. But i have a 2004 civic Lx that is to my knowledge all stock. I am trying to get my ipod to work in my car without the use of an fm transmitter (i am using the transmitter now but there is always this annoying static). So i am looking for a direct connection and one that is fairly easy and cheap. Basically i was hoping for some kind of easy access aux plug that is behind the stereo head unit but im not sure, and i didnt wanna go ripping the stereo out just to find that there is no input. Also it doesnt have to be an ipod specific plug, i would be fine with the normal aux/headphone type jack that i could just plud my ipod or for example my friends zune into.

Help greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

not really cheap though
for a cheaper solution, just buy the first one, and a male dual RCA to male 3.5mm aux plug converter. you can find one at like walmart for a few bucks.

 

thanks so much that is exactly what i was looking for. But now my next step is installation. is this easy, i know nothing about removing the head unit. would it be wiser to get someone to install it for me? or could i do this without completely destroying my car.

 

oh and i forgot, how do i tune into the input, does it dissable the radio entirely?

 

i'm not exactly sure how it works. i'm sure it comes with some sort of instructions or there are some on the website
idk how to remove the radio in the 01-05

 

thanks for all your help trust.

could someone else please give me information on the workings of the above device as well as some insight into the removal of my head unit

 

Take some pics of your head unit. It should be pretty easy to remove.

 

Haynes manual ftw! Hit your local autoshop and order a civic manual. Best investment EVER.

 

sorry im at school and didnt have time to get a pic of my head unit but this pic i found is literally exactly the same http://www.ben-johnson.org/blog-imag...-annotated.jpg

 

just wondering at $60 each totaling to $120, have you consider getting an aftermarket head unit that has the AUX output?
