they sell a harness that is a y-connector. One female to two males. search and ye shall find

but yeah, an aftermarket cd player down there looks fine. Actually, the factory CD player belongs in that space (the 96-98's are component stereo's for some reason). Its the same cd player that goes in the first gen crv's.

its kinda hard to see here, but it shows what to expect


people like how I installed it. they say it looks like it was ment to be down there. plus, it makes nosey people think you have a stock stereo in your car if they're casually peeking in.
