I own a 98 Prelude with a stock stereo. I wanted to know if there is
an auxiliary input in the back of the unit which can be used with the
line out on an MP3 player. If so, what type of adapter do I need and
where can I find instructions for removing the stereo? Thank you.

I just replaced the stereo on my '03 Accord with an Alpine unit with direct
connect for an iPod. Let me check my bookmarks and post back tomorrow. I
think I have a site which will tell you exactly what you need. There have
been some solutions posted regarding hooking up iPods/etc. to stock Honda
radios.

Do a google.com search for names like blitzsafe and Pie adapters.
Crutchfields sells them.
Use SEARCH to find dozens of previous posts in this NG.

It's been discussed to death recently.

On my 2003 Civic, I didn't have to remove the radio. Mine has a flat 14
pin connector, so it was easy enough to reach up behind the radio and plug
the connector in. Yours is an 8 pin round connector, so you might need to
see it to get the orientation right, if you can't just plug it in.

I use mine with a battery-powered MP3 player. There's a ground wire on the
adapter that you may or may not have to connect to a ground, depending on
whether your device is battery powered or car powered. The effect on the
audio is obvious enough to pick the right way. ;-)
