You won't get radio reception because we use a different "system" or uhm, frequency than they do in Japan. I think there may be an adapter out there that converts it so you can listen to US radio stations on it....

 

i think u need an fm expander for it... u can get one at radioshack i believe and just solder it in.

 

Yes it will work, you will need one of these... http://www.catronics.com.au/fmconverter.html 94

 

and as far as the plugs in the back working??? would i have to re-wire anything or add any wires in??? i've never tried to install an OEM cd player out of another year/make/model into my car before so i didnt kno the specs on it, but i appreciate that FM transmitter link..

now if i only could find out if it actually would work, thatd be awesome..

 

If you have a '94 and that's out of a '96 or later, then no, it won't be plug & play. You'll need the reverse harness (Metra Part Number 71-1721) and the regular wiring harness adapter for your vehicle (70-1720). Wire them together matching color to color and then it will be plug & play.

Mounting the unit, however, may require some creative engineering.

Yeah, I did that on my wagon when I put a newer (blue plugged radio) into my '95 (gray plugged) wagon. I took a normal harness you would hook up to an aftermarket radio and then got a reverse harness for the 98up Honda harness...also referred to as a "repair harness". It was all plug and play from there. Unfortunately I ran out of time to figure out how to physically mount it inside and it was just held in by the black bezel console.

I now have an Alpine h/u and couldn't be happier. (Well maybe happier with better speakers..haha)

 

Actually, it will be the same plug from 86 - 98/99. 94
