Well, sorry to disappoint few, but I went ahead with a cheap aiwa deck since I only plan to keep the car for about 6 months. therefore did not want to spend more.

Ok now I have successfully installed the Aiwa Stereo and am loving it. Could not believe that same car with same speakers could produce such a better sound. Honda stock radio sucks big time!
However I am having an issue though while connecting stereo to a Belkin AutoKit..details in this thread:https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...93#post2433793
