Great proiduct, was very easy to install in my 99 Accord. Works like a charm and is great for
my Sirius, Blackberry, and IPod! Would say this is a must have upgrade.

Works and Sounds Great - Install Tips! |

I put this in a 2001 Civic EX sedan and it works and sounds great. But here's a tip: The Crutchfield installation instructions said to take out the factory stereo when installing this, BUT I was able to reach the plug-in from below WITHOUT taking out the deck. Saved me lots of time and possible dash dings. I also drilled a hole in the the little compartment below the deck and fed my RCA plugs through it. Now I just tuck the iPod and wires in there and close the little door when I leave the car. Finally, the instructions say you only need the ground wire when using portable equipment. I've read that if you use your iPod with a charger while grounded you will get clicks and pops in your signal. So I wired the ground through a $2 push-button switch. I drilled a hole for the switch in a pop-out blank in the lower console so now I can easily turn the ground on or off depending on whether I'm charging or not. This is a super cool little device that keeps your vehicle looking stock and does not require a fancy new deck with detachable face-plates and all that other stuff to worry about. Thanks Crutchfield!

HON98-AUX Performance and installation review |

Installation:
I just installed the HON98-AUX adapter in my 2004 Honda Civic EX. It was a bit harder than what I have read. The instructions provided by Crutchfield were about 90% accurate, missing some detail around one key step, but the technical help line answered my question within minutes. All in all, a bit of a knucklebuster, but relatively simple installation.
Performance: Does what it says on the tin. As soon as I had it hooked up, I turned on the radio and it was ready to go, no fuss, no problems. Amazingly simple product that works great. The audio from my XM Skydock is crystal clear with zero staic/buzzing/etc. I installed using double sided foam tape and placed it right behind the radio.
Cons: None really, the reason I gave a 4 was that the instructions were a bit lacking and also from the initial tech support did not inform me that I would need additional adapter(RCA to 3.5mm) to make my product work. Got one, no probs, but cost me a day.

Best no-frills upgrade |

I installed this in my 2004 Honda Civic last night. I borrowed another reviewer's idea
and installed it with the Poly-Planar IC-3.5PM. I couldn't be happier with the results. The
installation took a bit longer than I thought, only because I was a bit timid about taking
apart the console to get the radio out and getting the Poly-Planar IC-3.5PM installed
cleanly took a little creativity with a drill (I wish I could add a picture of this, cuz I'm pretty
proud of my first ever install!) I can now listen cd quality music from my iphone and
pandora without the static of an fm transmitter! Just an fyi, I didn't use the ground but I
don't get any static or buzzing when using it without a charger as some of the other
reviewer do.

CD quality audio! |

I bought this as an upgrade to an FM converter for my wife. Had so many headaches
with the FM converter - static, always having to change the station, sub-par audio, etc. I
installed this converter in less than an hour. I used the Poly-Planar IC-3.5PM for a
factory-look installation. What a differnece in sound! I did not use the ground cable
and have had no issues with noise. Top notch product and service. I would, though,
recommend purchasing the Pro.Fit Trim Panel Tool- I marred the dash a bit using a
screw driver to pop the dash trim off.
