Honda Accord 2003 LX with EX CD player?
I recently bought a 2003 Honda Accord LX which comes with the standard
single disc CD player in the dash. I recently noticed that I could purchase the 6-Disc in Dash CD changer radio (found in the EX model) and I was wondering if it would be possible to just switch the radios out in my accord with the factory harnesses. Seems like you could, but just wondering if anyone else has had any experience. If the harness couldn't be just unpluged and pluged in to the new radio, is there a way to figure out which wire on the harness is for which feature of the radio and splice the wires together? Thanks for any tips. |

If he doesn't know, he'll know whom to ask. |

Thanks for any tips. FYI... This can be done--the trick is you must get the standard 6-Disc Changer found only in the standard Ex models with MANUAL air control. The harness will then plug right in to both the radio and display. |

Samuel, I am looking to buy the Accord LX. My friend bought one at the
beginning of the year for $17,000. Do you think by offering $16,000 is reasonable for end of year clearance?

Re: Honda Accord 2003 LX with EX CD player?
[Hello, I was wondering about the same. But I noticed that the plugs will fit any radio with or without the Auto Air control. Where did you got that information? I will like to know, becuase I was told the LX will handle any EX radio without the Nav system.

Re: Honda Accord 2003 LX with EX CD player?
Can't speak to the plugs, but the display would be different. I have
the EX-L (4 cyl) which has the auto climate and the temperature settings and other information about the auto climate show on the same radio display. Perhaps behind that display screen there is actually the radio and the auto climate units showing their respective data. I don't know what this looks like on a manual.
