what they mean is that you need to tap into a wire that is powered with the ignition on and off with the key off. The easy way is to just grab it off of your radio harness.

Or, since honda engineers were so brilliant. You could use one of the spade connectors on the fuse block, that were put there for accessories. I belive there are either 4 or 6 of them. Some have constant power, others are switched power.
