hi,

if you swap over the stock headunit can you get a wee interface to make the remore control on the dash work with the new headunit?

i'm going to be putting in an alpine cda 9812RR headunit + plus an alpine 6 disc changer (mp3)

and are the speakers any good in the S?

the ctr stereo & speakers were absolutely pants!

tried the search tool but got no good results...

cheers,
billy

Yes you can buy an Alpine plug-in adapter (KCE-865B I think) to enable you to use the dash controls.

Speakers are pants!

There are a couple of brackets on the Honda OEM headunit that you unscrew and screw them on to the Alpine unit. It then slots right in.
