Hello everyone i have a 2007 Ex-L with navigation and i went online and bought a unit called the USA Spec PA15-Hon2y iPod adapter. anyway, i go to follow this kinda universal type guide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xm8b4WXCmQ&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2Fvideosearch%3 Fhl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial%26hs%3DCBD%26q%3Dhow%2520to%2520inst all%2520ipod%2520o&feature=player_embedded) for installing icelink (i just figured it would be similar) into an accord .. and i take out my push box thingy and find that the backs of my radio is totally different from what the one in the video looked like.. and mine even had this little metal piece preventing you from really plugging anything in the back with ease.. any advice would be real useful.. thanks in advance

I didn't do the install on my aux unit but the installer said with navi you have to disable a feature. Either the navi, cd, or xm. I chose the let xm go. There are devices that allow you to keep them all but the cost will probally be more than the 60 I paid.

A little late in the response, but anyway...
You shouldn't have to disable anything. There is a Y-harness for the USAspec kit that retains all of the features. I installed this same thing in a 2006 w/Navi and, if I remember correctly, you end up unplugging the XM harness in the back of the headunit, plugging in the Y-harness to the headunit, then plugging back in the XM into one part of the Y-harness and the USA spec plug into the other one. I ordered my USAspec through crutchfield, though, and they sent me the Y-harness automatically, but the part number you need is CAS-H2Y. You can check out crutchfield or maybe Handa-accessories.com
When you toggle through your radio inputs with your 'mode' button, an additional one shows up wth the USAspec (I can't remember if it shows on the audio screen as 'Aux' or somethign else) It will also automatically change to your iPod when you plug it in each time.
