Should I install an aftermarket cd player or buy an aux adapter for a 2006 honda accord?

I really enjoy listening to music in the car and unfortunately my factory cd player does not play mp3 cds and the I don't like the radio bc they play the same songs over and over. I have 2 possible options. I can install an aftermarket cd player but I won't be able to take the factory cd player out bc honda decided to tie the radio with the heating and cooling unit. So I would have 2 cd players installed, just the factory one wouldn't be functional. Or the other route is to install an aux adapter to the back of the factory cd player, which involves taking out the bottom compartment, then drilling a small hole in the compartment to thread the wire through. Very strange how it came with an aux button on the factory cd player, but the plug to utilize it is on the back of the radio. What should I do?

That's an adapter for your radio with HVAC controls. Any aftermarket head unit will work with it.

  • 2006 Honda Odyssey aux/xm button not working? Hi, I have a 2006 Odyssey. The aux/xm button has stopped doing anything, regardless of whether an iPod is plugged into the glove-box auxiliary port. When an iPod is plugged in, the iPod shows as charging, but depressing the aux/xm button doesn't load the iPod. The AM, FM, and CD buttons are all working fine.
  • 2005 Honda Odyssey with a 6-disc CD changer, AM, FM, and Aux functions on the stereo. Need Bluetooth Adapter? I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey with a 6-disc CD changer, AM, FM, and Aux functions on the stereo. I need a bluetooth adapter to connect my phone/Mp3 player. All the adapters I have seen require a device to plug into the CD Changer port of the stereo, however I do not want to lose my CD player. Is there a device that will utilize the Aux function, that the only available port for is in the back of the van and therefore not used, to enable bluetooth to the stereo?

  • Installing an aftermarket stereo in a 2006 honda civic dx? I have a 2006 honda civic dx (Canada). I'm wanting to install a new deck so I can plug my phone into it for music, instead of have to using annoying CD's all the time. I don't really know what I need other than having to buy a radio dash kit so that I can actually install a deck into. Is there other cables I would need? Where would I find these items for a fair price?
