RE: "It couldn't be done", but I did it!
well, everything was so tiny, and I wasn't being the most careful person because I didn't think it would work either. I dropped it, scratched the circut board, almost smashed the lcd screen. I had to pull on a lot of things really hard to get access to everything so something could have snapped off. And the whole time I was working on it, the board behind the faceplate was connected to the body by a thick wire that could have snapped off and have ruined my party. but it didn't.

yeah, If you want a real nice system, then you do not want stock. I haven't had any problems yet with cd-r's and I think the stock system I have is fine for me and looks the best in that DIN slot. Of course I own like 4 cd's. Maybe I'll put a receiver right in behind the cup holders like I've seen in other civics.
