@@lukeschmidt2830 GT and XT model have automatic climate controls, making a radio install a complete pain in the ass. No difference in US/JDM/Canada, still the same story. If the car has automatic climate controls, not manual ones like in the video, you need to buy a $300 piece of plastic from Japan to even be able to put a radio in, then deal with a bunch of wiring to make the climate controls work again.

Notice. If your going to do this. Unhook your battery first. You could easily fry the new headunit or blow fuses by connecting it with power going to it. Plus you aren't going to put unnecessary drain on your battery by having the key turned to "ON" during install. You can move the shifter without power by inserting the key into the slot in the small hole in the top left portion of the gear shifter area.
