I'm doing this from memory since it's been about four months since I actually did this.

This is for a 2005 LX. EX procedure may be slightly different.

Disconnect the negative battery cable and make sure it can't come back into contact with the negative battery terminal.

1) Remove the plastic tab (where a push button probably is for EX model) to the upper right of the radio.

2) Carefully pry off the plastic piece which surrounds the stereo. I used a thin screwdriver and sock, and slightly scraped things up. In hindsight I should have used a specialized pry tool for removing such things. I think there were four or five places where this plastic panel is clipped into place.

3) After you get the plastic panel pried off, slowly remove it. You will need to disconnect the three wire harnesses connected to the buttons / indicators on the plastic panel.

4) The plastic panel should now be out of the way. Remove the four mounting screws holding the radio in place.

5) Slowly slide the radio towards you. Disconnect the wire harness and the antenna.

6) You should be ready to install a new stereo.

As a side note, when pulling the wire harnesses apart be sure to pull from the plastic connectors and not on the wires. If you pull on the wires, they may come loose from the harnesses.

If you are hooking up an aftermarket stereo, be sure to use a wire harness to connect from the aftermarket stereo to the Pilot's harness (otherwise you'll end up having to cut off the Pilot's wire harness which isn't ideal). I'd also recommend soldering and heat shrink tubing the aftermarket stereo's wiring to the aftermarket stereo's wire harness. It takes a while longer than the crimp or electrical tape method but ensures a robust connection and no electrical shorts when done correctly.

My aftermarket stereo has a power antenna connection. This needed to be connected (the Pilot's antenna is part of the rear window and thus isn't powered) because there is a signal booster which requires power (otherwise you won't be able to tune into any AM stations and will get very poor FM reception).

What fuse go to radio in 2001 Honda Odyssey?

In a 2001 Honda Odyssey, the fuse for the radio is typically located in the under-dash fuse box. It is usually labeled as "ACC" or "Radio" and is a 7.5-amp fuse. To confirm, check the fuse box cover for a diagram that specifies the correct fuse location and rating. If the radio is not working, it's a good idea to inspect this fuse first.
