I know these kind of pictures have been posted before,but I was really excited that I finally got my iPod setup in my accord. I bought a $250 JVC deck with the front MP3 input, the 40$ belkin auto kit,and a $5 radioshack cable, and of course, the $300 10GB iPod. It is not the cleanest setup, but I did get most of the cables out of the way, so it looks fairly good, and I really love the belkin kit, its basically just a dock for your car! Hope this helps anyone if they need it, or just for a quick look, whatever...

You probaly spent more on the iPod setup then what your car is worth :P

which makes you a true music enthusiast :)

yup, and actually its a pretty good little car, I dont really have any complaints. Gets good gas mileage, and now it has an iPod basically built into it, life cant get any better!!! lol

Good job. But seems like all you did was installing a new deck in your car.

ya , basically, guess I really did not install it, just got it all hooked up, but its has been working really well, the belkin auto kit thing is the coolest thing ever, it just lets you hook up with one cable, it charges, and it plays the music at clost to CD sound. If anyone could give me any hints to make it sound any better, I would be very grateful. I just mean settings: bass level, volume gain, treble, etc...

Actually, I can say without a doubt that the 91 accord is an awesome car. I have one also, along with a 99 civic, 03 accord, and 00 odyssey.

I love it more than my ipod :) how about that ;)

I had a 91 toyota camry that I loved during school. I would probably still be driving it if it didn't blow up!

It's a nice little setup you have but what I want to do (when I get my own car) is buy a second dock and replace the ash tray or similar with it. Then all I need to is plug the properity firewire cable into a 12Volt lead from the battery & take a cable from the line out into the back of the stereo (hopefully it'll have line in). That way I don't see any wire and the fixing is permenant.
