IF your USA Spec unit was able to plug into the back of the stock Head Unit on the Fit, did you have an adaptor for it? For which car was the USA Spec you ordered made, Acura or Honda?
If you have evidence of this working as you described, we would like to see it. After all you dont even need to remove the glove box to install it as you said.
I bought this based upon what I read in this thread, and It doesnt work. If I am missing some extra adaptor or something, I would like to know what it is, so I can get my iPod to play in the car.
I am not only pointing out that your information is inaccurate, but that others in this thread have said the same thing without any imagery to confirm it. You just happen to be the most recent poster on this topic.
Thanks

i see you edited your post, but i'll reply to your original post...
first of all i didn't need any adapters, just like anyone else here that has installed it. i don't have the model number for the kit with me, but i'm pretty sure its the same one listed on crutchfield, although i got it off ebay to save a few bucks. nowhere on the package does it even say it works on the fit, but it lists all other model hondas and acuras.
secondly, i noticed in other posts people conneced to conection "B" in the following diagram:
the usa spec connects to the plug above that is actually between "c" and "b".
lastly, i can't expect everyone to be patient and feel around the back of the radio for the port. i took off the glove compartment because it was easy enough (two screws). i was prepared to do more work, but once i got to that point i reached up behind the radio and could feel the port with my fingers (i never got my whole hand in there). i fed the usa spec port behind the radio just enough to be able to guide it to the port and push it in with my finger tips. i read how some people broke tabs removing the radio and such and i was to trying to avoid that. it took a few tries but i got it in. whole thing took about 20 minutes.
good luck!
