Just wondering if a BB6 (97-01 Prelude) OEM Cd player would fit in a EG hatch and EK hatch/coupe. Would it just be a plug and play type thing or lil modification involved?

the cd player itself would fit but if you put in eg will need a different harness, ek 98 and up plugs right in,.

 

What harness would I need?

 

You need the adpt. harness for your car and the rev. harness for the HU check here http://www.installdr.com, the plugs you can get at your local car audio shops. 94

 

Thanks

 

Oh yeah, would the cd player fit right into the old Civic spot?

 

Bump. need to know the samething.

 

It should there may be minor mods. 94

 

hum I just talked to someone on here that had the cdplayer and he said it was just a direct plug and play using the civic harness. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1285696

 

IIRC it's 99 when the plug changed... so based on what I recall this is what you want to know:

up to 98 will use the 70-1720 plug, 99 and up will use the 70-1721 (Both Part #'s being Metra). if you're putting a 97 or 98 prelude radio into a pre-99 civic, it will plug right in. Same with a 99+ prelude radio going into a 99+ civic. But to put a pre-99 prelude radio into a 99+ civic, you'd need to get teh 70-1721 harness that would plug into the civic, and a 71-1720 harness that would plug into the pre-99 prelude radio, then match color for color. Same with a 99+ prelude radio going into a pre-99 civic. Get a 70-1720 harness for the civic's plug, and a 71-1721 harness to go into the 99+ prelude radio. Then match colors between the two plugs again and you're set.
