CD Player Installation Help
I just got this old CD Player (CDX-F5000 SONY) for my Honda Civic 2002. The previous CD owner has Nissan, so the wire connector that comes with the cd player fits w/ Nissan only, not Honda civic.
Do I have to remove Civic Radio to install the CD Player?
How do I get the CD to work with my Civic?
Thanks guys

RE: CD Player Installation Help
Your gonna have to take both your current harness and the old one apart from the plastick connectors and manually connect the son ova bitch. My friends 1994 Nissan Maxima comes stock with NO HARNESS just straight up wires in the mug. Some arent gonna make sense and you may have others left over. BUT DONT TAKE MY OPINION for 100% thats just my exsperience and i dont have much of that anyway, so try and get atleast one second opinion

RE: CD Player Installation Help
Does your civic not have a cd player? Is it only a radio? You can hook both up by splicing that wires from the aftermarket cd player into the corresponding wires from the radio but you may get static or distortion because of the double source (radio and cd player) and single output.I would just take out the radio and replace it with the cd-player. You can go to circuit city or best buy to see if they have the right harness. If not, just connect the wires together. The cd-player should have a color code diagram on the bottom of it. Here's a link to some of the civic's color codes: http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/HA-Wiring.pdf Just match up 'em up and connect 'em.

if you have power door locks, the factory security system or remote entry, you need to leave the factory radio connected, as the controls for most of the above features, rely upon the radio being there
