Replying to: fitcoupe (May 01, 2006 1:00 pm) I'm planning on leaving it to gravity to keep the rear mats in place, as well.

Replying to: dewaltdakota (May 01, 2006 7:16 pm) I took another look at the mats. I THEN took a look at the instructions. It appears when the helpful dealer took the mats from me, to drop into the car while I finished the paperwork, put the mats in the wrong places! The small mats go up front, while the larger mats go in the back! I understand why they would have assumed this, because I've never seen floor mats in this sort of configuration, but one would think they'd have taken a second look, when they didn't match up well - ya know?

Hi All, Has anyone tried adding an aux input jack to the Base model stereo? The radio has an Aux button on the dial, but there is no input jack below the 12V power outlet as there is on the Sport. I asked my Honda saleperson about it yesterday, she checked with the parts department, and they said there was nothing available for the Base. I'm hoping that the wiring is all there, just that the jack is missing. My current FM transmitter that I use with my mp3 player has more static than it did in my old car... maybe I need a better transmitter, but I'd prefer to use the Aux in if it is possible.

Replying to: 91hatchback (May 02, 2006 6:30 am) Honda music link is available for the Base, correct? Well, that plugs into an input behind the stereo, the same input that a CD Changer would plug into. Alternately, you can buy an Aux input jack (1/8") that plugs in to that same port behind the stereo. This is just conjecture, but I think it's logical to assume it's possible. Those aux in's are about 100 bucks a piece from what I have found online. Maybe someone can confirm this. |

While we're on the topic of stereos, if I buy a base model, what can I do to help the stereo not sound so HOLLOW? Replace the speakers? Replace both the speakers -and- the head unit? Replace the speakers, and the let the sound shop guys add a subwoofer or something? I'm not trying to BUMP or anything, it's just I am a music fan and these stereos sound really empty to me (even the sport's seems lacking.) Possibilities? |

I think that right now it would be hard to put a new head unit in your Fit. There is probably no dash kit out yet. The speakers seem to be a special shape have the door molded around them a bit. So it might be hard to put aftermarket ones in as well. |

If it's a jack, then here's what you need(Radio shack is a good place) - A drill or dremel to make a small hole. - One 1/8 inch stereo plug - One cable(stereo RCA, 1/8 inch jack, or DIN - whatever's on the rear of the radio) about 2-3 ft long. - One package of heat-shrink tubing - Soldering iron. If you're like most of us and have a soldering iron and dremel/drill already, that's $6-$10 in parts. A $90 savings. Pretty straightforward one hour project. Place the jack wherever in the car you want it to go.(slight dissassembly of the center stack might be required unless you can get into it via the side) *** Aftermarket speakers The ones there are hidden behind a plastic grille. Trust me - they are standard round speakers and replacing them with some Kenwood 5 or 6 inchers will be a world of difference. The head unit is plenty good as it is. Stereos are pretty much stereos when we're talking about under 500W or so. The speakers are 95% of the difference in sound. Now, getting that grille off may reuire removing the entire side panel. I'm sure it's pretty easy after that.
