Default MP3 Player Hookup

I hate to seem like a slow learner, but apparently I am one.

Can one of you technology savvy wizards post detailed installation techniques/directions for hooking up my MP3 player to my OEM head unit.

I do not have the ubiquitous Ipod, but the more sedate Archos Jukebox.

Also, where can I order the glove box organizer that I see in many of the posted pictures?

Thanks in advance for all of your assistance.

Well, the archos (which I used to have) or any other device with a mini jack on it can be hooked up, but I will warn you now it is a PITA.

I don;t think the OEM HU has any open inputs, so you need an RF modulator. This is likely your best route. If you have an aftermarked HU with an input then you need a cable from Radio Hack for like $10 that goes from the headphone minijack to RCAs. You run that wire to where you want the MP3 player (like under the dash and into the glove box.

The glove box organizer (and many other goodies) can be found here: http://www.baustnet.com/honda/mods/index.htm

if you don't have the factory CD changer, the OEM CD player will accept an aux RCA input.

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...?threadid=89615 read the whole thread, as there are some things you may have to do to get the converter to work properly. and i think Crutchfield sells this for less than the store linked in the thread. i'm not 100% sure on that however....

I installed this product this weekend, and it works great! I don't recommend the RF adaptor, but I have one I will sell for cheap.
