I have a 2011 Honda Accord LX-P model. It doesn’t have the Premium Sound System. I’m planning to replace the factory radio to a touchscreen one. Amazon says the Metra 70-1730 doesn’t fit with my car and I should use 1729. My problem with this the aftermarket radio accepts RCAs for the speaker wire. Do you think I can use 1730 (what you used in yhis video) or if not, how do you think I should go about using 1729? Thank you!
I have a 2010 TSX but the console looks almost identical. Thank you for the instructional video. My only issue is my car already has an intergrated microphone so I'll figure that out when I get there.
Hey this video helped me alot doing an install today. Thank you . But I was wondering, where do you get the subwoofer cable and how do you wire it? My factory radio had way more bass now it's very thin sounding...any help is super appreciated
I don’t know if you made this video to show case how good you are in doing this or wanted to help some one because I find it hard to follow your instructions,, the only thing I got from this video was what to buy but the connection nothing to fast of an explanation. Know Im left with all this wires and not sure what to do 🤦🏽🤣
I keep installing my climate controls. The recycle button keeps getting stuck. The vents were put down first then the climate controls. Did u have issue with that?
Damn. Was hoping this head unit needed a speed signal. I'd already done this install minus the VSS. I got the Crutchfield master sheet and it mentions under drivers dash fusebox pin 14 (blue wire) on a white or blue 20 pin connector but there are two 20 pin connectors with blue wires.
Hello. Thanks for the detailed video on installing an aftermarket radio into a 08-12 Accord. I picked up a 2010 accord coupe for my niece, who is in college. I'm installing a double din pioneer unit and back up camera. I want to ensure I don't damage the temp gauge controls when I remove from the radio surround. After the screws are removed, does it just come right out from the back. Other videos show it having to be pushed out with some force from the front. Thanks Carck
did you disconnect the top display above the radio when you connected this unit? also would you recommend this over the setup of placing a unit above the dashboard?
Did you have to tap into the factory harness? Couldn’t you connect the steering wheel control wires to red and black on the aftermarket harness? Ground and constant 12v is not specific.....
Ok I have a 2012 Honda Accord LX-S coupe I bought with the same or similar head unit installed already. The temperature gauge or where the clock is located. Can that still be functional?
Did you have any issues with this setup? I have a 2010 accord coupe w/factcory amp....so my setup is similar to yours. I been having issues with my steering wheel controls going in and out.
With the scosche dash kit, I can't figure out how to get two of the screws in that go up from the bottom. They screwed into the metal frame of the old radio. Didn't note if there are holes for it in the scosche plastic brackets. Any guidance would be appreciated. Nice video by the way.
Hello. I was able to get all the parts for my install except for the SW harness. What about the other 3 plugs/harnesses from the factory head unit, do these simply not connect anywhere??
Hi Provo Beast! Huge favor, I have the same radio without navigation as shown in this video and can not get the PAC SWI-RC to connect to the steering wheel controls. To confirm, are you only connecting two wires from the PAC SWI-RC to pin 16 pink and pin 5 brown as shown in the video? Are any other wires being connected from the PAC SWI-RC? Last question, do the dip switches on the PAC SWI-RC not work which is why we need to program the PAC SWI-RC? All of my confusion is coming directly from PAC and their provided instructions on their site after I plug in my car info (2012 Honda Accord no navigation). Any information is greatly appreciated, I am going crazy. Thanks!
I connected sub to my radio, but my factory amp didn’t connect, did not connect the white rca, wondering were I would plug that if my radio only has 6 plugins or can I tie it into one of the rcas
My Radio wont really work, very low signal even with the Adapter and the blue cable plugged into the Red wire... I'm not sure but the plug does not seem to really be making contact on the inside .... anyone having the same issue?
Can I just add the pins to the harness included with the kit that way I don't have to tap in to the pink and brown wire in the stock harness for the axxessinterface??
I have a 2010 accord coupe v6. I followed your install steps in the vid, the radio seems to work fine but now my viper smartstart won't turn over the engine.I wonder what I did wrong?
This is awesome! I did have one question, I bought a Sony headunit (XAV-AX150) that has a dedicated steering wheel control connection, do I still need the module if it has that?
Yes, as there are multiple connections for the buttons on the accord, more than the harness provided with the Sony. Going with the pac module will simplify your install (in theory) and will come preprogrammed for your buttons already.
I followed all of the instructions but the volume was very very low. So I installed another wire harness without the av jacks stereo works great but now my engine cranks but will not start. All lights work and stereo works. Could I have possibly just drained the battery due to having the interior lights on as the sun went down and it was the only light I had to work with? I have a 09 Honda Accord lx
Possibly, lots of variables there. Using a multimeter will help you identify if you have a dead battery. The harness with the rca ends are only used for accords with the factory amplified sound system. If you don’t have the factory amped sound system, the other harness in the description is needed.
great video, i have 2011 accord, and i was wondering can the top screen be replaced with a different kind or type of screen/monitor? Lastly, not everyone sells that same wiring harness that you have with the rca's on the end. Best Buy didn't even have that.
So I’m just a kid that knows nothing about this, so don’t laugh at me but how do I find a dash kit that fits what radio I buy? Do they make different ones I can just buy that have a few standard sizes that will fit the radio I choose? I’m just confused to how that works
The parts we linked in the description will fit any standard double din radio so just find a radio you like and the kit will work (as long as it is a standards single din or double din)
Thank you for sharing this video. This is very helpful. I am installing the Pioneer AVH-2550NEX and backup camera in my daughter's 2012 Accord. I have the iDataLink Maestro for the steering wheel control. It connects to the Pioneer stereo using a 3.5mm jack. How does your steering wheel control connect to the Pioneer stereo?
I have the idatalink harness too and this thing has been kicking my ass ever since I installed it. For whatever reason I keep losing my steering wheel controls mid ride.
Don’t use the subwoofer wire he has in the video just connect your rca cable from your subwoofer amp to the radio and connect your blue remote wire to the blue wire and the radio wire harness
We recorded footage of the backup camera install, video up shortly. In the meantime, we have a helpful backup camera general tutorial video on the channel that may helpful.
Super clean install. And nice dash kit , looks like it came from factory Btw. How can I tell which one is the left or right speaker output from the pioneer. It didn’t have any markings. Just red and white
Does your clock still work on the car after installing the aftermarket radio? I installed an aftermarket on a 2011 accord but the clock on the car doesn't turn on. Not sure if that's normal
Would anyone be able to tell me where to find the instructions to program the steering wheel box. I went on the website and it tells me what switches to flip and how to wire it but it never says hot to program it. In the video he needs to press different buttons on the steering wheel and push the program button but I can not find it anyone. Thx in advance
Hello, i bought the stereo harness but i keep getting the harness for a premium factory stereo and mine is not nor does it have navigation. Do you know how i can get the harness for the mone premium factory stereo?
So the two Phillips head screws under the plastic you have to pop off wknt come out. The one near the ignition just keeps spinning and won’t come out don’t know what to do
I believe only accords of this Era with navigation have Bluetooth. This video is for no nav accords. I could be wrong but my 09 premium audio, no navigation had no Bluetooth stock. Your HU should have bluetooth and doesn't need it from your car
I have a question, I got this idea from the 350Z concept that they have. Has anyone ever done a dual monitor setup in 2011 Accord's ? I was wanting to do that but don't really know how to go about it. Is there any video's of anyone doing that?
I have no power to the harness. This makes no sense how did I end up with no power to this entire system just from unplugging it. This has something to do with the alarm system in the car. But I cannot figure it out. How did you install anything into this type of car without completely disabling the factory alarm and radio security? I tripped the fuse under the hood. 'Back up' supply. Still no power to the radio, but my alarm works again.

Probably should take it to an audio shop then...
Seems like a huge PITA
I keep installing my climate controls. The recycle button keeps getting stuck. The vents were put down first then the climate controls. Did u have issue with that?
Wouldve been cool to show how you connected the steering wheel harness and antenna wires.
about how much will be on all the parts and where do you get them.?

What tool did you use to get the female end of the usb port into the center console and do have any tips on how to use the tool or videos related 🤔
Nice video! How did you retain the top screen HVAC info? Mine doesn’t turn on at all
Is there any way to have to have the top display still display clock and other basic information? Mine is dead after installing double din unit.

Where did you connect the subwoofer wire to on the radio itself? I have a red and white wire to plug it into
Box Car Racer was on the stereo! Yes!

Would really like to install that cross tour gauge cluster into my Honda Accord coupe 08!!
I got a 08 coupe, would love to add a CarPlay radio
Do you do service by any chance? This seems a little too much for me
My ac controls are not displayed anymore on the display. I plugged in the ac connection. I have the ac controls with the knobs. Any suggestions?
Did you have any issues with this setup? I have a 2010 accord coupe w/factcory amp....so my setup is similar to yours. I been having issues with my steering wheel controls going in and out.
Thanks for the great video. I have a 2010 Crosstour EXL with the CD player. Does it require any other adapters for the CD player? Thanks.
What’s the name of the radio ? I have a 2009 accord and the panel is a little diff from your cross tour. Will it work ?
Does the screen feel too low/dangerous? Does it seem like you are looking down?
It is very low.
howzit. im ordering the alpine ute-73BT stereo. i was just wondering what adapters would i have to order for that one?
RIDGID 18V 👍 Great Choice....
Got my car installed today and the steering wheel volume up skips the track and the skip track button up doesn’t work it’s weird
My 2010 Honda Accord EX has a gray 12 pin plug. Doesn't look like you had o e on the Crosstour. Any suggestions on what to do with it?
With the scosche dash kit, I can't figure out how to get two of the screws in that go up from the bottom. They screwed into the metal frame of the old radio. Didn't note if there are holes for it in the scosche plastic brackets. Any guidance would be appreciated. Nice video by the way.
i wish you could’ve shown the LED so we know if we’re on track
Hello. I was able to get all the parts for my install except for the SW harness. What about the other 3 plugs/harnesses from the factory head unit, do these simply not connect anywhere??
What happens if I don’t get any audio going they my speakers triple check my wires and still no progress bad radio??
Anyway I can wire a deck that allows me to map steering control from the deck it's self instead of buying a module?
I have the pioneer unit and I have xm with my factory accord radio. How do i get my xm to work with my aftermarket pioneer?

what would installing a radio on a 2014 Honda Crosstour cost including parts and labor approximately?
It would be better if someone showed us how to get the main cable out. I got all of the radio cables out, except one.

Did you figure out what to do with the top screen?
@@Joe-qn8mh yeah i did, i went on cruntchfield and just buy the dash kit there, thanks bro
What dash kit was it? I'm interested in replacing that screen with a faceplate so that I can put some USB C charging ports.

Where can I find c2 and c3 plug on a 2008 accord I have swi-rc-1 kit

Yes.
Would the same process and equipment work with this 6.8 inch unit? Axis AX1870CP 6.8"
What would you do if you wanna have a after market amp and subwoofers
Don’t use the subwoofer wire he has in the video just connect your rca cable from your subwoofer amp to the radio and connect your blue remote wire to the blue wire and the radio wire harness
How will I know if I have a factory sub woofer and amplifier? I dont think I do. I have a 2010 accord EX
You do have an amp and sub
Could you post the wiring diagram please?

Does your clock still work on the car after installing the aftermarket radio? I installed an aftermarket on a 2011 accord but the clock on the car doesn't turn on. Not sure if that's normal

it should. check your wire that leads from your clock to your ground to your wiring harness
Did you ever get it working?
