Metra also has the 17 pin harness as part number 71-1722:

But these plug into the vehicle harness, not the radio.
One other part is Metra #71-1721 which plugs into 2005 CIVIC radio, but doesn't look
like the pin rows are offset as in the pictures above.
What are you going to use to connect to the 6 pins (in the 20-pin input)?

Well, I actually had the MusicLink installed already- it's O.K., but I'd like to be able to use my older iPod and my iPod shuffle and not deal with the difficult interface that MusicLink makes you go through. So MusicLink goes into the unmarked 14-pin connection, I got that- which does the Aux jack wire go into?

Any Pics of your installation?

I did get to install my components and an amp which is a pretty nice upgrade to the stock speakers even with the stock headunit using a line output converter.

What are you going to solder? Are you going to solder the 3.5mm headjack/AUX port cable
directly to the 20-pin connector on the Honda head unit?

So, I did it. I ended up sodering the wires to the headunit instead of using pins. That way I dont have to worry about them coming loose. I'll have pics up later tonight. It was very easy to wire up once Gabes Dad hooked me up with the diagrams. I couldnt have done it without them. Thanks!

So there is no direct plug and play match for the base audio AUX back of the headunit to the Sport AUX wire?
I'm not too interested in trying to solder anything together....unless someone comes up with an easier solution, MusicLink for me I guess.
