hey guys... i have successfully installed stock navi in my 07 non stock LXV6 accord.....
i bought 03 brand new navi with codes on ebay and installed that...
total project cost me $1700...

It took me long time to install it becuase i had to rewire my whole heating system harness because i have LX and i dont have dual climate control...
everything works except the "auto button becuase LX doesnt have the outside, cabin and sunlight sensor....

its very easy to install stock navi in EX model because it already has dual climate control....

My car looks soo much better now... and accord makes awesome navigation system...

i didnt not install the voice commad system because i didnt have the parts.

i Made a harness for 03 to 07 accord and it up for sale in FOR Sale fourms...
if you interested... please look at it.. i have upload pics too...
its $350+3% paypal +shipping..

was it really easy! how did you take out the whole dash board.. I mean i removed it partially for installing my parrot, it was easy but i couldnt figure out how to remove the head unit.

And how does it no trip information, that means you had to wire something to the main computer of the car, right? otherwise where does it get the gas info..

$1700. - Damn.

The option new was 2 grand!

Remember, you don't have voice controls with this setup, and I'm sure a few others don't work either. It's cool that its in there, but I think it'd be better to just trade in for a car with it. - One with full functionality.

well i want to the dealership before i thought about installing it... they said that i have to get EX-L V6 to get navi and it like $27G.... my car is LXV6.. so i didnt have that much money

also i didnt wire the voice commad system because i heard it not that good...plus i dont need it.... its not like i cant do it... it very easy to do but i just didnt want to do... so $50 we can have the voice commad too...

for voice activation you just need to add the steering controls with proper wiring and the mic in the map light console.

the harness... i am selling has the voice commad connection... you have to buy the steering wheel switch and the mic....

and install that yourself.....

oasis475

03-09-2008, 12:46 PM

very nice man. Takes some guts to do this, with the rewiring of the dash and all.

i hope you dont mind, but i took the liberty of quoting your post above over at gen7accord.net, since so many ppl there always ask about non-navi to navi swap

hey man thanks alot... i dont mind thay you post this on other sites... but can you give me a link of the post on gen7accord.net

thanks

Yea temperature control works perfeclty fine. you have to rewire the whole heating system.. because LX has one 22 pin harness but navi has two harnes... one is 22 pin and one is 16 pin

I might think about getting one. Just to make sure:

-Everything still works right? u don't lose anything like cruise control or anything?

-So i'm getting just a harness, how much would it cost to get everything else I need bc I'm clueless and how much would the dealer charge to install all of it?

Accordlover

03-09-2008, 06:25 PM

I'm willing to bet no dealer would install it.

Or they might for some outrageous fee and no warranty. Think about it, dealer labor is about 100 an hour...

oasis475

03-09-2008, 07:43 PM

heyyy.. i called the dealership they said thatt.. its not possible to install that... and refuse to help or do anything in installing the navi....

i bought
7" touch screen
dvd unit for trunk
sub lcd display
upper panel
antenna
codes for navi and stereo

all from ebay expect the upper panel and sub lcd display.. i bought that from dealership

everything works man... cruise control... steering control.. rear deforger..cold/hot button... and everything else... except the "auto" button because i dont have few sensors..

timot_one

03-10-2008, 05:51 AM

Amazing install man. I'm impressed with the work you've done with the dual climate control conversion. I'm impressed with that more than the navi. I prefer to do stuff myself, so I'm interested in knowing if you'd be willing to share your information so I can tackle my own single to dual climate conversion.

I also wonder if there is a way to connect the vent mounted sub LCD display to a non-navi dual climate h/u since I will be deleting the screen from my set up.

oasis475

03-10-2008, 07:01 AM

hey guys.. see LX comes with single climate control system and after the navi conversion i still have single climate control system...

in order to convert that to dual climate control system... i have to get another blower and get all new vent pipes... so thats not Possible....

so wat i did was....i made the Navi daul climate control system to work as single climate control....

so i stll have single climate control and i made it work with Stock navi dual climate control system...

hmm i dont know think you can put the sub lcd display on non navi... because there is no connector for it in the backkkk

Very nice, I like how the Navi tells you the MPG.

oasis475

03-10-2008, 10:34 AM

yea man... its very nice.... it also tells you the mile to empty and trip meter...

its a awesome system

03-10-2008, 11:51 AM

Oasis, as a helper, could you post all of the required "other items" needed to complete the conversion from 2007 non-navi EX-L sedan V6 other than your harness? If people could price the rest of the components needed, it may help with the decision making process for us non-tech savvy beginners. Anything you know of including nav screen, other/replacement dash components, DVD unit, etc. I know this would help me to decide. After seeing the ebay prices, I can't figure out what you spent so much extra money on. Thanks in advance.

oasis475

03-10-2008, 12:14 PM

hey... these the part you need

Main part:
1. 7" touch navigation screen - ebay - brand new - $500
2. Dvd unit -ebay - Used - $800
3. sub lcd display - Majectic honda - Brand new - $103
4. upper panel - Majectics honda - Brand new - $50
5. navigation Harness - buy it or make it
6. sub display harness - buy it or make it
7. codes for navigation and Stereo - came with ebay parts
8. Dvd unit bracket - majectics Honda - $22
9. GPS antenna - came with the Dvd unit

voice commad system - optinal
1. Steering wheel control - majectic honda - $50
2. Mic in the ambient light - Majectics Honda - $70

i didnt do the voice commad so i didnt spent extra money

you have EX-l so you dont need to change anything in the heating system...
your car already has all the sensors and everything

Now see... you have to see what year navigation you buy...

because from 04 to 07 have same subdisplay screen
03 has a different subdisplay screen..
took me very long to figure this out..

and make sure you buy everthing for same year... like
if you buy 05 7" touch screen then by 05 dvd unit... dont mix and match...

also 03 to 05 have same looking 7" touch screen meaning its all blackk
but 06-07 is black with sliver in the middle...

I spent many hours figure all this stuff out... i love the final product... my only has 10,000 miles on it...

Make sure you:
1. know to open the middle dashboard
2. Know to run wires to the trunk.. meaning opening the side panels
3. buy the harness and your installation will be within hours...

also 4DR has green interior light and 2DR has red... so watch out for wat you buy.... i learned it the hard wayy....

i made the harness so it took very long time do all this...

reason i spent more money was because i bought the 07 subdisplay and it didnt work with my 03 navi... so i like $200
then i also bought the 2DR navigation and found out the it has red interior lights... so i had to return it and lost money on that
also i had to the EMT maunal for the car to wire all these things up...
Buy high quality wires and stuff.... so everything add up to $1700

i am writing all this so you guys dont make these mistakes... thanks

so hope this all helps

ESHBG

03-10-2008, 12:44 PM

i am writing all this so you guys dont make these mistakes... thanks.
Don't worry, I would never make these mistakes...if I wanted an Accord w/ navi I would just buy one.

Please keep in mind that I'm not trying to knock your work and I think you did an AMAZING job, but at the end of the day when you look at all of the time and $ you spent (and still not having 100% functionality like you would with a stock unit) it seems like a huge waste.

oasis475

03-10-2008, 12:49 PM

haha.. no man i dont think this is a waste.... looked at the car with navi .. for that i had to buy a EX-L w/navi and those things are like 27G.....

i bought my LXv6 for 21G

about the 100% functionality.... well i could work 100% but i just didnt enough time.. maybe over summer i will put the voice commad too...

so i am very happy with a my navigation... and also i dont think anyone has put stock navi in LX either....

PlayU18

03-10-2008, 03:07 PM

So, just to be sure I am understanding you correctly, if I were to purchase your harness, I would only need to buy numbers 1,2,3,4,7,8,9 listed above, plus the additional numbers 1 & 2 if I choose to have voice commands? Your harness covers numbers 5 & 6? Also, do you supply the complete installation instruction using your harness?

oasis475

03-10-2008, 03:24 PM

Yes that correct... i will tell you where to get the 7 wires you need...

you will need the
b+ -- Get that from audio harness
ACC -- Get that from audio harness
Ground -- Get that from audio harness
Ill -- Get that from audio harness
VSS -- Get that from ECU harness, which is by the foot of passenger side
H CAN -- Get that from ECU harness, which is by the foot of passenger side
L CAN -- Get that from ECU harness, which is by the foot of passenger side

i will also tell you what color the wires are... i have a picture of it too

and for voice commad... i will have the wires in the connector but you have to run all the wires and stuff.. i will label the wires and you have to find which one goes where....

i dont have instructions how to open stuff.... you can find them online... that wat i did...

oasis475, I think this is awsome, and not a waste at all.

The options I wanted on my accord were: 06-07, 4 doors, 4cyl, 5 speed manual, black leather interior and dark exterior, and navigation. I looked forever to find a car like this. There are not many out like this (a couple w/ grey leather, never black), and I doubt any forsale on the east cost w/ navigation right now. I ended with everything but navigation. I guess maybe if you order one new maybe you can get it with everything you want but you cant really negotiate the price of a car you custom order.

Either way I think theres a decent chance I order the harness from you sometime in August.

Thanks for the write up.

I guess maybe if you order one new maybe you can get it with everything you want but you can’t really negotiate the price of a car you custom order.

Not to drag this thread off topic, but I take minor issue with the contention that you can't negotiate or otherwise secure a decent price on a special ordered car. You can. I did.

I have the car you noted, exact to the tee besides having Alabaster Silver exterior. What I did was contact multiple dealers in a 100 mile radius via email, told them what I wanted, then waited for their price quotes. When the best one came in, I calculated their profit, determined that it was an excellent deal (~4% profit margin, which I deem acceptable), and agreed to buy. And given that it was done via email, I had everything in writing.

Of course, since this specific car doesn't exist anywhere on this planet, it had to be special ordered. But it doesn't cost a dealer any more to "special order" a car-- In fact, it likely costs them less-- A car that sits on a dealer lot, unsold, costs a dealer money. But a car that's "special ordered" is basically already sold, so they know it won't be sitting on their lot. This, "Poor us we have to special order your car so it costs more" swan song is a load of total and absolute money wringing $h*t. It "costs" more, if anything, because the dealer knows anyone who special orders a car really wants it, so they often can get away with charging more for it. Unless they're dealing with me. :)

I did have to wait about 3-4 months for allocation/production of my Accord, but I have zero regrets about this time period, considering I got exactly what I wanted (well, I wanted the light blue exterior, but that wasn't available with the 4-cylinder). It also afforded me an extra several months to save toward my purchase.

Patience, when it comes to buying a car, stands to save you big bucks...

03-12-2008, 01:55 PM

You guys are specific.. The only color i wouldn't buy is gold and red, And im cool without navi or with it.. I prefer to be with it but it wasn't an option when i bought my car, and now i wish it was..

The red in the sedan is ugly IMO.. But it looks actually pretty nice in the 8th i guess its just the car...

Navigation has been an option in the accord since the 2003 Accord. - Maybe you meant it wasn't an option financially?:dunno:

Really amazing job, and thats from the guy who put a damn pc in his car.

Maybe I am getting old, but now, with things like the AT&T tilt that has gps inside, with garmin or alk/copilot software, or just a good nav tool, there just doesnt seem to be much reason for the pc or integrated nav at the price.

It is probably the safest way to go though and it looks bad ass.

Sometimes the monetary and time investments are satisfied more in the enjoyment of the project vs just the end function. Having long ago built a stereo system (and there's many here with that experience) in my 85 h/back when it already had almost 100k miles, having the thing apart inside a garage for a couple of weeks, and learning more about a car's electrical system and interior engineering than I ever imagined possible...I have to say it was worth every bit of time, money, and effort in the end. Plus I had one kick butt system for a few years before retiring the car.

I gotta believe that when you lit the new unit up the first time with all the homemade harnesses, etc...that was a pretty cool moment.

You think this swap can be done in an 08 Accord? I have an non navi 08 EXL. I was interested in doing this almost right away. I was told it was a difficult install and everything needed to be wired in and that it would be expensive. Based on your summary of the 7th gen it doesnt sound that difficult. I couldnt find a 6spd in my color with navi when I bought my car in November (At the time I was told there were only 35 6 speeds in the country). 6 spd coupe is very hard to find so I settled for what was available at the time. Im determined to install Navi at some point though.

Nice work. I have the stock NAV with voice command and find I rarely use it. It does not work that great especially if you have the sunroof or windows open or if the fan is running. It's quicker to hit the button for what ever function you want.

It is great, however for entering destination info such as city and street number. I always use it for that and it works great.

Your screens look a little different than mine. What year is the NAV unit from?

With this harness you can install the whole system in less then 3 hours. All the connectors are HONDA OEM products. thanks

please let me know if anyone wants the harness..

i will be done making them in two weeks

If you have non dual climate control then you have to change the heating harness... meaning you have to rewire about 22 wires.. to make it working with navigation

I applaud you, sir, for tackling this project. But at $1.7k, I'm very happy with my $120 tomtom.

Good point :)

I guess embedded navigation in the car's dashboard is for people who do not mind some bucks being spent and like that original car look with no messy cords running to the windshield attached unit on a holder with some suction cup.

And it is much safer, too - think about it - the GPS holder sucked to the windshield (even if the unit itself is out of view) is the invitation for some bad people searching your car interior ...after breaking the glass :thumbsdow

Awais, please tell me one thing my good man... Is your custom harness made to convert LX wiring to EX style? If I have 2004 EX-L with dual temp controlls already, do I need your custom harness or the navi unit will fit my original harness like a glove?

Thanks,
Pszemol.

Thanks alot man. i like the stock navi look because car looks so much better with it and it also has MILES TO EMPTY and MILES per GALLON. and some other features.

NO accord comes with navigation harness from factory. You have to make the harness for it. SEE the Navigation unit wiring is SAME FOR LX EX and EXL. The only thing thats different is the Heating system harness.

IF you have EXL with dual climate control then you can Install this while system within few hours given that you know how to open the console and side panels.

For EXL, my custom harness will fit like a glove. You only have to is plug in 4 connectors and hookup 7 wires. This is only if you dont want voice command system like "turn on the AC"

please let me know if you interested.

and please let me know if you have any other questions

If you have non dual climate control then you have to change the heating harness... meaning you have to rewire about 22 wires.. to make it working with navigation

everything will be plug an play. just have to attach one wire to the fuse box. and thats it.

it will be around $200. its pricey because the connectors are hard to find and also mad expensive....

Nice job with the OEM Nav install into an LX without Dual-Climate control! The hardest part must have been re-wiring your AC from a single to a dual connection. It looks like your only limitation on the system is the non-functioning "Auto" AC feature, since that requires the Dual-Climate system on the EX-V6 Accords.

Your custom wiring harness appears to have filled the market for doing an OEM Nav install in an Accord without the Dual-Climate control. Good work.

I have a 2003 Coupe EX-V6 and I did the same OEM Nav install as well. I bought the parts with a custom wiring harness from the eBay user, acurahondatech. He offers a custom wiring harness for Accords with Dual, or Single-Climate control. His harness plugs into the main audio harness, and the rest go to the headunit and DVD drive, with a separate harness for the upper display. Only three wires need to be tapped into the ECM for the Trip Computer. Very easy installation.

He sells his kit with all the OEM parts for about $1500 (used to be more). For an additional $100, you can get the voice option, or headunit with XM capability. There is an extra fee for the custom harness for single-climate control. I didn't do the voice option because I didn't want non-factory buttons on the dash, and I wasn't about to open my steering wheel! Even though my 2003 Accord does not have an XM tuner (2004 or later models), I chose the XM headunit so I could display text from my iPod. The entire system is fully functional, even without voice recognition.

You covered a lot of good points on finding the parts to do the Nav install. For those that want to find the parts separately, you will need a custom wiring harness to do the job. You can't get the harnesses from Honda since the existing connections are part of the entire wiring system in a vehicle that is equipped with Navigation.

The 2003 headunit without XM requires the 2003 upper sub display, which are shown in the original photos at the beginning of this thread. 2004-2007 models with XM require the 2004-2007 upper display. 2003-2005 models use a DVD drive with the Orange disc. 2006-2007 use a DVD drive with the White disc. Best to match the headunit and DVD drive within the same group. Coupes and Sedans have different dash illumination. Coupes have red, Sedans have green. Make sure you get a headunit that matches your vehicle. My DVD drive is also stamped "For V6 models." There might be a different DVD drive for 4-cylinder models.

The "Premium Audio System" version is a 180-watt headunit that was only available in the 6-speed manual V6 coupe. The standard headunit is 120-watts. The Premium headunit will work in any Accord, but it will have red illumination.

Here are the pics of my 2003 Coupe installation, starting with the original headunit, ending with the finished job. The iPod appears as XM with text display, using a Dice Electronics iPod Connection Kit. XM displays 16 characters of text. Newer Dice kits show the channel and catagory as "iPod" instead of "Dice." I can control the iPod using the headunit and steering wheel controls, and change playlists too. (Without XM, an iPod would appear as a CD-Changer, with no text display).

Actually it's not. If you bought all the parts separately from the dealer, lacking a custom harness, you will be spending well over $5,000. The Honda/Acura Nav is the best OEM Nav out there. Of course you can always do a portable and stick it on the windshield. That would be the most cost effective.

If you think about it, this is cheaper than most aftermarket in-dash Nav systems, and it looks so much better. The aftermarket replacement dash panel for a single DIN headunit looks terrible. Would you really want your Accord look like this?

You did an awesome job converting the single-climate system to connect to the Navigation headunit. Since you have the Premium Audio System headunit installed in your sedan, I am guessing your dash is green, but the Nav headunit is red illumination? Does it look out of place, or does it blend well?

I see a lot of Nav headunits for sale on eBay (always fun to browse), but rarely do people indicate if it came out of a sedan or a coupe. Also, you see a lot of auctions claiming to sell a headunit that is XM ready, but they aren't (the CD button only says CD/AUX). So if people are looking to buy from eBay, they need to ask a lot of questions first to clarify what is being sold.

OEM looks best and the navi you have proves it. but wheres my aux jack and mp3 cd playback :)

I don't need MP3 CD playback, but I do have an Aux Input, in addition to my direct iPod Connection. The Dice Electronics iPod Connection Kit also has an Aux input on the module, in addition to the iPod Dock Connector. So both the iPod Dock connector and 1/8th mini-headphone stereo cable for Aux are contained in my center console. When the iPod is connected, the iPod interface is not accessible, because it is sending the text info to the headunit. The same with an iPhone. So I use the Aux input to plug into the headphone jack on either the iPod or iPhone if I want to watch video content on the iPod and have it play through the stereo system. Of course I only do this if I am parked somewhere waiting for an appt, etc.

To activate the Aux In (when the Dice module is set for XM), I press preset 5 on the display and change the channel to switch from iPod to Aux. Aux is displayed in the Name field. Changing the channel again goes back to iPod. In CD-C mode (for headunits without XM), you switch to CD-5 and switch between Track 1 for iPod and Track 2 for Aux.

Preset 1 skips tracks, Preset 2 skips playlists, Preset 3 skips albums, Preset 4 skips chapters (audiobooks?), Preset 5 changes the source iPod/Aux, and Preset 6 displays the firmware and also allows me to set the text for 10 or 16 characters, and scroll or no scroll. No scroll is better, less distracting, and when a new song plays the upper display will show the song title, then back to artist.

If I wanted MP3 CD playback, I could always add the MP3/WMA CD player that was an add-on for the lower pocket, but I have never seen them on eBay, and pretty hard to find these days.

Here are the "Dealer" prices from Hondapartsdeals.com, and these are reduced from the normal retail price. This is based on a 2004 Accord with an XM ready headunit.

DVD Nav Unit $3,026.96
GPS Antenna $118.51
DVD Mounting Bracket $22.61
DVD-ROM Disc $185
Upper Dash Panel $68.51
Upper Sub Display $208.52
6-CD LCD Headunit $1,742.66 (Premium Audio $1,894.84)

Dealer Price $5,372.77 or $5,524.95 (for Premium Audio Headunit)

Then you would also have to add $350-$500 for a custom wiring harness.

So paying $1700 for the parts with wiring harness from a guy on eBay is an amazing deal, in my opinion.

1700 is wayyyy too much for this mod when you can throw in a W505 or a W203 with nav, a better audio system, and probably a bit of a cleaner install for the price of the HU + the dash mod.

I would rather keep the OEM appearance and OEM Navigation. I am sure after you are done with your entire system, you will be well over $1700. You won't get a cleaner install than the actual OEM headunit.

But I am curious to see how your modified system turns out.

I have to disagree; custom dashes actually look MORE fluid IMO than the stock one with the strangely colored panels in the center.

And no, the 1700 quote was if you were doing the dash yourself and bought the HU.

I got my HU for dealer price, and I am doing the dash myself.

There are about 200 bucks worth of materials in a dash like this. (bulk of that is a single ribbon cable)

What strange colored panels are you talking about, when referring to OEM parts? The OEM stereo and dash panel are not strangely colored panels, they are the actual factory color panels designed for the car. You can't get more fluid than that. Honda designed the car with the panel colors in mind.

If you think a custom dash looks more fluid, I guess you haven't seen the aftermarket dash panel for aftermarket stereos, such as the one below:

http://web.me.com/peter.hillman/Site/photos/badinstall.jpg

Does that look more fluid? The buttons are cheap and they don't match the rest of the car, and the panel doesn't even fit properly. For those that install aftermarket stereos in the lower pocket while retaining the factory stereo in the dash look out of place since you don't know which one to use. The question would always be, "why are there two stereos?"

However, it sounds like you have more experience to do a better job than most aftermarket installers, so keep us updated on your project.

The "why are there two stereos thing" yeah, is a definitely good point which is why I would never do that.

No, that is not a custom dash. That is a dash kit, and a very cheap one that looks nothing like anything else in the entire vehicle. Plastic, not ABS or similar material.

A custom dash would be fiberglass or ABS, and painted using honda chipped paint (SEM in this case) to match the dash. It would look equally good to an outside observer who knew nothing about the car. The metra kit there is clearly aftermarket and anyone could say so (similar among all single dins)

Hi Oasis475, what does H CAN and L CAN, on the Nav unit stand for(function) I have provisionally installed Nav unit but havn't connected these 3 wires. My HVAC or AC is greyed out on the touch screen and the other touch function of air flow direction are greyed also, however the push buttons at bottom work well except for the AC. Any ideas why the AC touch on the screen dosn't work, do I have to connect the H Can and L Can for the AC to work. I have a Accord 2.4L EXL. I'm also using the identical harness that you are selling. Also the other two stock blue connector from the old unit.

heyy... australian model is alot different from US. when i was doing my install.. this guy sold me asian honda accord navi.... the bottom buttoms works fine. meaning the air but the heating and fan and ac touch screen where all grey.... thats because inside the unit there is different circuity for US, aus and asian models.

although the heating connectors fit but i think inside design is different.

i think you should return your head unit. and the CAN H and CAN L is just for trip info. it has notting to do with the AC or heating system.

can you send me some pictures of the unit and the greyed out screen?

Pictures posted; however Its too late for me to return. My option would be to find another head unit without the CD changer or one that is slightly damaged on the face or something like that. If somebody has one like that please pm me.

Can we not modify the harness if we can get our hands on the wiring diag for the connectors for this asian model, I'm sure it must one pin or so different.

yoooo man... i looked at the pictures... yo man everything is different.... the layout is different and also the buttons are switched.... meaning the "info AC and Audio" should be on different side.

i think buying a whole new unit is your best bet because if the layout is different then of crouse the pins are going to be off too... and its impossble to find what pin does what in aus accord.

Yup you're right there is a scrap yard in US that is selling a display unit without the CD for $200.00 + 15.oo shipping but they wouldn't negotiate the price and wouldn't ship it to Canada. So as I said before any members here who have access to one that has a cd unit broken or the screen broken or somenting I would be willing to pay them a resonable price.

Check out these eBay item listings for a U.S. Accord Nav headunit.
220313468190

250336425640 (XM Ready, so your upper display won't work)

220318097245 (Description claims XM Ready, photo is a unit that is not XM Ready, says three available, so you would have to clarify)

200283952414 (This could be exactly what you need. It is the faceplate and screen only, but missing the CD/Tuner module. That might work if you swap the CD/Tuner from your headunit, and only $179. May work with your theft code since that might be contained in the ROM on the CD/Tuner unit).

1700$ just to have a navi system? man that's too much. for just 200$ i got my garmin 360 with bluetooth included making it taking fone call while driving easily , i can take it anywhere i go, i can load any map from any region around the world. don't get me wrong , i wish i could have ur DIY skill and do all these thing, but with my limited budget, 1700 $ is way over my head.

That sucks that Oasis475 no longer seems to be on this forum; no response from my PM so far. His new job must keep him very busy! Even if he doesn't have the time to make more harnesses, I could at least make the attempt myself to make one with his experienced advice. :(

Yes, I did it to my Accord. Go to eBay and search "Accord Navigation" and you will find a Buy it Now for $1599 for a Navigation Easy Install Kit. He sells all the parts with a custom wiring harness to make it all plug and play. It is the only way you can do it.

To those who have done this mod on a accord without dual climate control, I have one question. How do you rewire/trick the dual zone climate control panel to operate the single zone system in the car? I've tried contacting oasis,but no luck. I have the factory service manual and I compared the wire functions for the single green 22p hvac connector to the dual connectors of the dual system and I have a pretty good idea on how to rewire it to work, but the problem I notice is the rear defrost. Looking at the manual it appears that the rear def on single zone units are controlled by a relay shown in the wiring diagram, but on dual zone units, the diagram shows the rear def being controlled by the multiplex integrated cont unit. I'd hate to go through all of the work to add navi to a single zone car and then find out the rear def doesn't work, esp in new england.

You need a custom made wiring harness to be able to install the OEM Nav into a Non-Nav Accord. That is how I did it. Here is the eBay auction too. All parts included, with his custom made harness to make it plug and play. If you have single climate, there is an extra $200 charge for the additional wiring harness. Previously, he only sold the system for an Accord with Dual Climate. You don't need the Voice Command option, most people don't even use it when they have it. Since you don't have dual zone, you probably don't have XM either. However, I would recommend an XM-Ready setup in case you want to install an iPod and display text.
