Buy the Alpine CD player (632?) plus the adapter cable, you find them everywhere for below 200$... no problem also for the CD changer.

BUT THE KEY LESS ENTRY!
A '03 88k$ car from Honda without it... they should sell 20 per years only because of this!

I thought the 2003's came with keyless entry standard. Is this incorrect?

 

[theWB]

well i just took it to a locatl stero shop and put an alpin 12 disc that works with the factory radio for 250.00 installed and a clifford alarm for 250 installed also ..the clifford 7000..that should solve my problems..

12 discs? Are you sure the OEM head unit can handle this?

 

[theWB]

you now what very good question let me call then they are installing it right now thank you ..

Rather than the 12 disc, get the 634 model which can play MP3's also - with this you can put almost a 1000 tracks on 6 discs & get much more capacity than the 12 cda discs. You can copy to mp3 format using your computer. (It will play regular audio discs too of course)
It is a simple adapter cable to install it.

Yes, that is incorrect. It is a dealer-installed option.

Yes.......they are both dealer installed accesories. They bumped my lease price from $799/month to $835/month. Because they are accesories, they are not residualized.

But I had to get them both. They are necessities in a $90k car.

That's what I'm saying... MAKE SURE THEY DON'T PUT AN FM MODULATOR in your car.

The 12 disc Alpine is very similar to the 6 disc - I'm pretty sure that someone has done this before, a seacrh might turn it up.

They bumped you $36 more per month for CD and Keyless entry? Sorry to say this but you were better off buying and installing yourself. Say your lease term is 36 months, that means you're paying around $1296 for those two accessories when you can get them yourself for under $500. Also, since you said the accessories are not residualized in the first place, just take them out after your lease ends, sell them and your actual cost of use will be even lower!

That is actually what my salesman said. I hope I will be able to buy the car after the lease, so maybe that won't even be an issue.
