So, this is a stereo from my old 1984 Honda Prelude, it doesn't really work to speak of. :(
It looks okay as they go, maybe you could fill a hole with it. The radio and tape player have something wrong with them, maybe you could fix them but I don't know, right now they do nothing. Also, the fuse is broken (no thats not the only problem, haha ur funny) so that'd need replaced. The only good thing about this stereo is I hacked in an aux connector that plays featureless but true audio. You'd have to wire it up to an audio-in port yourself but the hard part of finding where the wires are in the stereo is already done. in case ur curious, yes that is how it died. I'm not a smart man sometimes.

So anyway yeah its broken but if you want to fill the hole with something that you can also plug a phone into (the controls in the stereo won't work, you'd change the volume with the phone), might work for you. Green is ground (I thought it should be cause "green" started with "g" like "ground", even though black should be ground. like I said, not so smart) and red and black are right and left audio. Also includes a piece of plastic trim it's supposed to have on the front. If you need the plastic filler compartment that goes under the stereo, let me know and I'll list it on eBay.

Note that this model stereo is different from the one used in the 1987 Prelude, that one is model CQ-LH256A. They're similar but do have a different connector.
EDIT: Dropped the price to close to the price of shipping so hopefully I don't have to throw it away eventually. Maybe someone in the US would just like to take a look at the wiring hack inside :3

Designer Interviews: Giorgetto Giugiaro

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

Ask any aficionado who the greatest car designer of all time is and Giorgetto Giugiaro will be the name on most lips. Responsible for more than 200 vehicles, equating to some 60-million production cars on the road as well as dozens of concepts for the world's finest car brands – not to mention cameras for Nikon, electronic organs for Bontempi and even a type of pasta – he is without equal. Born on 7 August 1938 in Garessio, northern Italy, he started his career with Fiat in the mid-1950s, aged 17.
