Hey PTG,
Are you planning to replace the factory head unit? If not, a 12 disk changer won't work. The brain in the the factory system will only work with 6 disk changers. Trust me I tried every way to get it to work.
------------------
1999 Silver TL Non-Nav, factory underbody kit and spoiler, 20% tint, Ractive intake, Clifford Intelliguard 9000 alarm, Alpine CD changer, Comptech springs, exhaust, and headers.

From what I hear, the Alpine changer is cheaper than the one Acura slaps their logo on. Even though it's the exact same product, just paying more for the Acura logo on it. If $ isn't an object and you really really really want that tiny Acura logo on it, then buy it from Acura and pay considerably more.
I've got the factory changer from Acura and I love it. Luckly, I didn't have to pay for it. My dealer threw it in as a complimentary thing after I had already purchased the car.

I have an aftermarket Alpine... I compared it to a discount rate online. The online rate is $399, Alpines at circuit city ran me $400 installed including the adapter and a nice little carpet box to make it look "factory match"...

I installed a 6-Disc Alpine on my Civic a few years ago and it requires a special conversion cable to the head unit. Why pay more for a logo if the changer works exactly the same?<p>
Since I'm not a pro, it took me 2+ hours to do the installation. The toughest part was to run the cable from the head unit to the trunk. You may want to do a connection test (between the head unit and the CD changer) before you start pulling a lot of things apart.
