Thanks!

i) It is my understanding that the difference is the connector only,
i.e. the protocol and signal levels are the same. http://www.pie.net
makes protocol converters for connection odd combinations of head units
and CD-changers, and they also list a 14 pin - 8 pin adaptor for Honda.

ii) Don't you mean a male 16 pin? The one coming out of the dash is
female, no?

III). Again, don't you need female? The radio has a male connector,
right?

The round one is the one that is a DIN connector, the rectangular one
does not have a common name.

Another source for parts is http://www.crutchfi­eld.com. A very good
source for installation information is http://www.installd­r.com
