https://amzn.to/3V6nOT7 - (Link) Android Radio for 2003-2007 Honda Accord.

Problem Description: The original OEM radio stopped working in my 2004 Honda Accord. All of the lights and knobs worked, there is just no sound! Apparently, this is a very common problem due to failing solder joints on the old radio motherboard. Rather than mess around with trying to repair a 19-year-old radio, I opted to replace it with a 10-inch Android touchscreen.

I must admit, this thing is pretty awesome!

Bluetooth, Hands-Free Calling, AM/FM Radio, YouTube, Chrome, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, Google Play Store (basically install any Android App you want), plug for a back-up camera, AUX inputs for amp/subwoofer, can interface with OBD2 Bluetooth dongle for vehicle performance statistics, etc...

I've gotten some questions on the available connections. On the pigtail of wires coming out the back of the radio, there are a total of 10 wires:
8 RCA-type connectors labeled:
SUB WOOF
R OUT
L OUT
AUX R IN
AUX L IN
VIDEO-IN-1
VIDEO OUT
F-CAM
There is an 1/8" female connector labeled "MIC".
And a wire labeled "AMP CONT" with no connector.

UPDATE: The latest version of this radio now supports CarPlay and Android Auto!

I was worried because on the original Honda radio, the climate knobs are all integrated into the radio itself, so would I lose control of the fan speed, heat and AC?

But I didn’t have to worry, this unit has climate control fully integrated (physical knobs and buttons - which I like for quick access) underneath the touchscreen. You can control them through the knobs OR the climate screen interface on the touchscreen.

If you have a broken radio in your Accord, I recommend replacing it with one of these; it makes a 19-year-old car seem modern again.

The first Android radio I installed was from Ezonetronics:
