RCA input to stock head unit on 5th gen??

Is there any way to use the cd changer input on the back of the stock head unit to input from RCA left and right channels? Is there any converters that I could use to do this?

im guessing you want to hook up ur headunit to an amp

what your going to have to do is tap into your left and right, front and rear speaker wires leading out from the headunit

or if you want to get fancy...
im pretty sure u can ADD rca terminals to the speaker wires...
what im saying is...instead of tapping more speaker wire onto the factory speaker wire to the amp...
tap a rca terminal wire onto the factory speaker wire...and run rca's to the amp that way...
i'm not positive how this would work, because i've never head of neone doing sucha thing, but i'm almost positive...theoritcally it should work fine

but it would just be easier to simply tape some speaker wire onto the factory speaker wire from the HU and run that to an amp

I think he ment converting the INPUT for the CD changer to accept RCA INPUTS (like from an aux source). I have seen adaptors that do this for aftermarket headunits (usually around $50 or so). I have never seen one for the stock Honda head unit. try www.autotoys.com

I really dont think that is what he needs. That changes the speaker level OUTPUTS into an RCA OUTPUT for an amplifier. He wants to turn his changer input into an AUXILIARY INPUT.

Something like these, but for a stock Honda deck:
