I went to wrecker and I see they have heaps of Honda CD player, but I am not sure which will fit for my car. Can anyone suggest Honda CD player that is compatible with Honda Legend 89 ? Mine currently can only play good old tap :o

I mean I need a plug and play one as I am not too expert in wiring...

no HU is plug and play. BUT u can buy a wiring adapter harness thats specific to ur honda plug and ur aftermarket HU if ur not confident in soldering/splicing/crimping wires. this basically makes the install a 'plug & play', its ALOT easier, its wat the pros would use and is well worth the $20-30.

aerpro supply these. go to www.aerpro.com & click harnesses :)

Your best bet is to buy an aftermarket Headunit as they sound a whole lot better than factory standard Headunits.

When it comes to installation, as arverson said, you can buy the harnesses from autobahn or JB Hifi for an easier installation or you can just get a professional to do it if you're not willing to fuss around trying to install it. Should cost you between $60-$70 for professional installation.

I feel that it's cool having Black Honda CD console in the old Legend. Like the one in this thread

its cool?? fair enuff, but y not a aftermarket HU?? it'll b alot more worthwhile over ANY stock HU.

wat r u looking for in a HU?? sound quality, cd/mp3 capability, tuning features, looks, etc etc

if im correct, ur 89 legend has a stock double-DIN sized space, but u can still fit in ANY aftermarket HU (single or double DIN)

for wateva ur reasons may be (could be for re-sale purposes for example), if u dont want a aftermarket HU but want a stock HU instead, go to wreckers :)
