FYI... This can be done--the trick is you must get the standard 6-Disc
Changer found only in the standard Ex models with MANUAL air control.
The harness will then plug right in to both the radio and display.

Samuel, I am looking to buy the Accord LX. My friend bought one at the
beginning of the year for $17,000. Do you think by offering $16,000 is
reasonable for end of year clearance?

[Hello, I was wondering about the same. But I noticed that the plugs
will fit any radio with or without the Auto Air control. Where did you
got that information? I will like to know, becuase I was told the LX
will handle any EX radio without the Nav system.

Can't speak to the plugs, but the display would be different. I have
the EX-L (4 cyl) which has the auto climate and the temperature
settings and other information about the auto climate show on the same
radio display. Perhaps behind that display screen there is actually
the radio and the auto climate units showing their respective data. I
don't know what this looks like on a manual.
