I hope I'm not duplicating anything here, and that this is the right forum to post it in.
I just installed an AUX input into the stereo system in my Civic 06 VTi-L, and took a whole heap of photos, so I wrote some instructions to go with it, and put it all into a PDF file.
Hope it helps someone out! I'd be happy to answer any questions if you have any.

UPDATE (11/7/2007): Hmm, I might have stuffed up the grounding pin - the sound sounds funny if I use the headphone output on my MP3 player, but ok if I use the line out. Will do some more investigating there...
UPDATE (17/8/2007): Turned out the 'issue' was due to my crap soldering to the socket. There's no issue with the connection to the system itself, as per the instructions in the pdf above.
UPDATE (13/02/2011): Updated the guide with a fix for the sound quality issues. See this post for more details.

Reason: fixed an issue with the guide.
Note that I went with option 1 as I had that already, and I'm not 100% sure if the crimping lugs quoted above are the right ones, though I imagine they are fairly standard.
You'll also need a standard 3.5mm male-to-male audio cable to connect the socket to your music device too, plus you'll need a soldering iron to solder the wire to the socket.
For those who opt for option 1, i.e. making their own cables with the crimping lugs, the attached picture may help you work out what sized lugs you need.
From what I see, I don't think the quoted jaycar lugs above are the right ones.
does Honda has OEM AUX Input Adapter or something like that?
Yep, at least overseas anyway (in other right-hand drive countries). My queries here hit a dead-end, although I wasn't very persistent (too impatient).
It may be a bit difficult to find, as IIRC, the 2006 Hybrid and 2006 Sport, as well as all the 2007 models all have the AUX input provided as standard.

Sam, does this means that my 06 Sports SHOULD have the AUX input already??? sorry not understand clearly on your statement there... thanks in advance for explaining, btw
Pulled everything out and put it back in place except for the a/c tube on the bottom right, anyone got any tricks to how to put that tube back in place? lol seems really difficult
Not sure if I covered it in the PDF, but I ended up using a long bit of sticky tape to get a hold of it and move it into place, then once it was there, I pushed in a bit so it stayed there and tore the sticky tape off.
I assume by now you've gotten it back in already. How did you end up doing it?
So it turns out there was something wrong with the instructions causing the bad sound quality. I finally decided to properly mount the socket into my car and discovered that one of the pins described in the instructions was wrong. I have updated the guide to fix this.
(The bad sound quality was caused by a grounding issue because the ground wire was not connected to the right pin in the connector - should be AUXSG in the diagram, not AUXSH.)
yeh i think its in lol got a friend with small hands to go under the steering wheel and wiggle it till its almost touching then i just pushed the headunit in
