Basically I have everything wired up in my accord except for the FM modulator. I dont know how to get to the back of my radio to hook up the cable to the antenna. Does anyone know how to do this or can anyone show me a DIY on how to "remove" the radio just so I can use the steps to hopefully get to the antenna.
Any information would be EXCELLENT!

I don't know if you've seen this or if it's the same on a coupe, but this is what I followed when I did mine in my 2007 Accord SE:

And by the way, in step 7 where it says to pull the vent trimpanel, be careful if you wedge something between the soft dash and the panel you are pulling. I used a screwdriver and it permanently dented the soft dash that surrounds the vent panel. It might not sound like a big deal, but it pisses me off every time I see those two dents!
Also, I don't know what type of Sirius receiver you have, but I bought the adaptor that goes alongside the OEM head unit. This is what mine now looks like:

Thanks a million! Also, DO I need to remove ALL this stuff just to access the antenna? Can I just try and slide the vent piece forward and reach the antenna?

Nevermind, Thanks for the article as it helped A LOT!
For Future Reference:
If you are only trying to hook up an FM modulator (on the 03-07 accords) follow the steps in the crutchfeild article at the top of this page and ONLY do the steps that lead you up to removing the storage compartment under the radio. Once you have removed this, The antenna is actually on the right side plugged into another wire that runs into the back of the radio. You can plug this into your FM modulator and then connect the extention for the modulator to the wire that goes to the back of the radio!
Very easy but made me worried about breaking pieces! HaHa..
