Ive been looking into getting a new stereo for my 02 Honda Accord, as the current stock radio is outdated. My problem is that the radio in my car is rather bulky and i dont see how a new raadio(Which is half as tall) would fit into. I know next to nothing about cars so i would appreciate some help.

Sorry, don't know much about car stereos. I know they sell adapters/brackets that help fit newer stereos into the larger slots. If you go on say, Newegg, and look up their car selection for electronics, it'll show you everything you need to get.

Call Crutchfield at 888.955.6000; they have the best service by far when it comes to car audio questions for novices. If you call them and give them your year, make, and model they will let you know which stereos fit your vehicle. They provide instructions, the necessary adaptors, and brackets with purchase of a new head unit (the stereo that sits in your dash). There are many brands and it may seem overwhelming, but most of the brands carried by Crutchfield are pretty well regarded. Unless you're planning to install amplifiers and aftermarket speakers you should be able to get away with a head unit that is $150 or less. JVC typically offers the best value in head units - meaning most features and best quality for your dollar - though Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, and Pioneer all make excellent head units. Give them as much information about what you want in a head unit - meaning iPod controls, HD Radio reception, Bluetooth, etc. - and they'll narrow down your choices. Note that it is easy to find radios with iPod controls and either Bluetooth or HD Radio, but expensive when you start adding additional features. If you are uncomfortable installing your own head unit (you shouldn't be), you can still go to a retailer and have it installed for you, but be sure your installer is MECP certified, and that the installer warranties their work and the head unit they are installing. Good luck! Boz
On Amazon you can see what will fit your car, plus if you went to a shop i'm sure they would know, what they do is put in an adapter that fills up the rest of the space that the other bulky radio took up and holds the newer one in place.

Good God, don't go to Amazon for car audio expertise! I'm not saying buy from Amazon - they have some awesome deals - just don't go there for advice on car audio. Boz
