First off, great forum. I've learned a lot so far just from reading over the last couple of years and it's about time I register since I'm on my fourth Accord.

I went ahead and purchased a USASpec PA11-HON2y and have found some great install tutorials and even the video on youtube is great.

The only problem is they all have XM, but not Navigation.

Everyone says it's real easy to install, just do as this picture...

Well, I took mine apart and see NO connections on the back of the CD player. It appears that it loops around the left side. I know that someone reading this has done an IPOD install on a 2003-2006 with XM AND Navigation and can tell me if I need to take the side panel on the left off or the whole front panel around the vents and Nav screen. It seems like the left panel might be the easiest and I started doing that, but got stuck and I cannot get it off.

Any tips?

I need to get this done this weekend for a Thanksgiving trip this week, so PLEASE HELP ME!!

Thanks all

If you read my posts on page 4&5 of this thread, I explain how I did it on mine. There's also some pics, although I don't show the final step:

The only picture I could find of the back of a navi radio was from a euro accord. Not sure if they are the same, but I dont see why they wouldnt be.

The white plug should be what you need to unplug and where you need to plug your adapter into.

You two rule!

Thanks so much. That's exactly what I needed. Got it installed and no issues. The info on taking the top center trim off where the vents are was right on. So were the pictures. The sound is awesome.
