Adding A Cassette Tape Deck To A New Accord LX

Hello:

Just purchased a new Accord (6 cyl.) LX and would like to ask the following
question
regarding adding a cassette tape deck.

Fiunny, new Camry's come with a CD changer and the tape deck as standard,
but Accord doesn't.

The dealership wants $ 350 to put one in; claims it costs him about $ 250.
Wow.

Obviously, I didn't do it, but would like to add one.

Any of you folks ever add one on your own ?

So, let me ask:

a. How hard is it to pick up the cable and connector that thgey use to
connect theirs ?
I understand it uses up about 1/2 the CD storage space, so the
connector and wiring for it
should be right behind it. True ? How do i get to it ?

Anything truly unique about meshing with their harness ?

Would sure be nice to use the Accord's existing radio/CD controls that
their
tape cassette would use.

b. Hard to do ?

c. Where can I see a schematic of the pin-outs for it ?

If anyone has, would it be possible for you to scan it in, and send it
as an Attachment to me ?

Would be most appreciative.

Much thanks.

Would sure appreciate any help with this.

Happy Holidays,

Bob

 

I bought a tape player from Hondaparts.com (I think) in 2000 that was $70
cheaper than the dealer wanted. Put it in myself which took about 30
minutes. Check the Internet for better prices than your dealer is quoting.
