Cool Soundgate HONZN4 Zune Integration for 2009 Honda Accord LX-P

Hello,

Has anyone installed a Soundgate HONZN4 on a 2009 Honda Accord LX or LX-P? Here is the product website: http://www.soundgate.com/index.php?r...&usereferrer=1&

It says it will work will all 2003-2009 Honda Accord Models/Trims. I purchased one, and tried to install it today. I connected the HONZN4 module and CORE module as instructed in the accompanying instruction manual. I hooked the ground wire to the metal chassis under the center console, and tapped the red wire into the cigarette lighter. When I removed the factory radio, there was a white female 14-Pin plug in the rear of the radio, but there was not a factory male 14-Pin plug inserted into this location. I plugged in the male 14-Pin plug from the HONZN4 module into this location, but as I said, there was not a factory male 14-Pin plug anywhere that I could see that would plug into the female 14-Pin plug from the HONZN4 Y-harness. I left the HONZN4 module in CD emulation mode as it was received, but nothing happened after I installed it, minus the factory male 14-Pin plug. I went back to the website to verify if the HONZN4 only worked with the 2009 Honda Accord with a Satellite Radio, but from what I read in the "Does This Fit My Car?" section, the HONZN4 works with all trim models of the 2009 Honda Accord. Is the presence of a factory installed sattelite radio actually a qualifier for the use of the HONZN4 with the 2009 Accord? In my case, where there was not a factory male 14-Pin plug hooked into the rear of the factory radio, then what do I do in order to make it work? I did notice that the Zune did come on automatically when I hooked it up to the CORE module, and it was charging.

Does anyone know what the 14-Pin plug on the rear of the factory radio is there for, and why in my case there was not a 14-Pin factory wire harness plugged into it?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated, as I really want to use the factory radio and steering wheel controls to control the Zune. This was the only product that I found that would work with the Zune.
