Audio Systems: Ipod adapter, honda accord coupe, honda dealership


Question
Hi Ernesto,

I have a 98 honda accord coupe with the original factory radio/cd player (not cd changer). I recently purchased an Ipod and would like to install an adapter in my car so I can listen to it. I have a couple of questions. First, I saw the PA11-HON which is about $100 dollars, do you know if there are less expensive alternatives that work just as well or is this the best value? also from what I've seen it might not be too difficult to install. I have asked around and the honda dealership will charge me $50.00 to install it. I searched for instructions on how to "do it yourself" but didn't come up with much. I have the "wood" trim and original 98 radio. Do you have a recommendation for a site that shows step by step instructions? I am short on cash and would like to try and do this myself if possible. of course I don't have any special tools or anything like that. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated! :-)
