I'm very happy with it.
The only downside is that it doesn't have Aux input.

Is there a place where I can buy a jumper to aux cable?
I'm not keen on soldering myself.

You can get a regular audio cable from your spares drawer and cut off one end, soldering the plug as above should work well.  You don't need the unique Honda latching plug just anything with a 0.1" pitch such as a servo plug, Arduino header, PC motherboard connector also known as a duPont connector.  You can also use a 2 pin jumper to bridge pins 1 & 2 rather than solder a link wire.

If you are going to the effort of removing the head unit, you could connect a Bluetooth/Aux receiver and tape it to the space above the unit, I bought one of these:  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-24V-Car-Bluetooth-4-0-Audio-Receiver-Board-Wireless-Stereo-Sound-Module-New/272041631799   It takes an Aux input when it's not connected to Bluetooth and either of them into the head unit.
