Guys, I know a few people were asking if this was possible (four years ago), and I am sure you know now that it is. However, I will give a few tips to those of you who have not yet attempted it.
It is not hard, it should fit pretty easily.
First off, get a dash install kit for a '96 Accord. It also fits a few other Hondas. I had this installed in my Accord for a while.
Now, take the entire metal bracket thing. It holds your lighter, ash tray, radio, and your little box flap thing. Take the radio and box out obviously.
There will be a metal bar at the end. Depending on the shape and size of your new headunit it may or may not fit with that in. I took it out. You might need to apply some force to get this in, don't apply too much. Just get it to slide in okay. It will be a tight squeeze.
Once it is in as far as it will go, the little plastic install kit should keep it leveled right. The plastic frame that goes around it will have no way to snap in like it is supposed to. Cut all the little snap in things. You might need to glue it in, you might just let it sit there. I just let it sit there.
Now, if you try to put the radio back in, while in the bracket, it will move around and slide. It's not secured yet. I doubt you want that. Get your zip ties. Zip tie that motherfucker in. It will keep it secure and keep it from moving if you have done it right. Make sure it is still level. I used like 7 or 8 ties I think.
Once it is secure, put the bracket back in place. Screw it back in. Replace the plastic cover. BAM. Double Din Radio in that bitch. I would take pictures, I wanted to. Just no camera. Sorry guys. Hopefully this helped.
