You can also get a Honda/Acura wire connection kit from places like Radioshack or something. That will do wonders.

Did you cut the stock wiring harness? If not, then just buy a kit that will connect your stock harness to the aftermarket headunit. If you did cut the stock harness, then your gonna have fun trying to figure out which wire is what. I'm sure there is a wire diagram around here somewhere. I might have one on my pc, I'm gonna have to check.

Follow everyone's instructions on the wiring. Its preferable that the wire harness method be used however. Saves headaches and electrical tape and makes life easier. With Headunits as everything eles you get what you pay for. Kenwood and Alpine are good names with reasonbly priced equipment. Decide what functions you need in a headunit then go find it. Meaning Do you plan on adding amps? If so how many? Do you need the Headunit to have MP3 capability. A possible CD changer or Music keg? Fold out face or flip screen(I still don't understand this crap. Your driving how the hell do you watch it while moving?) Security features also play into this as stereo equipment is the #1 reason for vechicle vandilism.
