• Aux input for factory 6-disk CD and Tape (any advice would be appreciated. I have done this for my 2000 Accord and my 2005 Odyssey but P.I.E. does not make one for this stereo.)
• New speakers (These Bose speakers SUCK!)
• Subwoofer (moving from 2000 Accord, already tapped the mono line out going into the Bose amp)
