Don't knock the RF modulation. I put the Alpine 6 CD MP3 changer in the Arm Rest and used their small controller/ RF Modualtor. There is NO WAY otherwise since there is non Honda Bus connector on the OEM since what more could you want? CD, Casete, AM/FM. I have the radio out 10 times and their isn't a Honda bus connector like the 2003 has. We put a Sony to Honda bus adapter (Soundgate SHOND 3) in with the Sony MP3 10 CD changer. The Alpine shows all the ID3 tag information and lets you FF and FR on an MP3 disk. Crutchfield seems like they are selling a package but I think it's a Sony package and I can't comment on the RF modulator's fidelity.
E-mail me for any additional information.
