You folks should understand something now - the way mfgs are moving toward multiplex data and integrated controls, the standard din sized aftermarket stereos are no longer a viable option. Take BMW for example..... ever since they redesigned the 3-series in 1999, it's basicaly imposable to use aftermarket heads. The tuner and amp are hidden in the trunk somewhere, and the head unit is just a control pannel. Not to mention, it's a chore to remove. Lexus, Infinity, and the 5 and 7 series BMW have had this type of non-replaceable stereo design for years, and since it's been no secret Honda wanted to aim at the high level cars for the new Accord, it was to be expected.
