Holy smokes, Danny! That is beyond my skill level but I surely enjoyed watching the process! My 2007 SC and I are very jealous of that awesome screen in your E! I hope that you have joined some of the Facebook Element groups by this time. There are some great discussions on fixing this and that on our Sweet E’s. Thanks so much!
Hi Danny, just stumbled on your channel and glad I did. I just bought a T'Eyes unit for my '08 Element SC and the steering controls doesn't work so I'm going to try your fix to see if that resolves it (crosses fingers) btw....I love your Element videos and subscribed!
@@dannysdiygarage Yes sir I definitely will. I just purchased the extra plug and resistors which I should get Weds\Thurs. Wish I new why there is no plug to retain steering controls. I have the T'Eyes installed in my Subaru as well and all steering controls worked as soon as I plugged in the new unit. It is frustrating as you mentioned.
Great question, it wasn’t easy and I probably worked on it for a week, I’d love to explain however it’s very long and difficult explaining to write, a lot of trial and error
Hi Danny. I have a similar issue with a 2006 Honda Civic EX that I cannot figure out. The SWC wires are Pink and brown for the civic harness. The Atoto F7WE has Key 1 (+) and Key 1# (+) I have tried the following to no avail. Pink wire to Key 1 (+), Brown wire to Key 1# (+) Pink wire to Key 1 (+), Brown wire to Key 1# (+) and ground Pink wire to Key 1 (+), Brown wire to ground (Key 1# (+) left disconnected) Pink wire to Key 1 (+), Key 1# (+) and ground (Brown wire left disconnected) My SWC wiring as a 10K terminating resistor. The resistance ladder is the following. 100 ohms = volume down Add 270 for 370 ohms = volume up Add 470 ohms for a total of 840 ohms = channel down Add 1200 ohms for a total of 2040 ohms = channel up Finally, add 3900 ohm for a grand total of 5940 ohms for the mode button. I am wondering if you might be so kind to explain how 723K became the magic number, as well as how the radio interprets/learns when a button is pushed. Thanks so much for the great videos. It has really helped me make some modifications that made my daughter change her view of her civic as old and needed to be traded to cool (or whatever they call it now).
as far as 723k becoming the magic number, maybe luck, trial and error, I noticed when I had the meter hooked up measuring the resistance, the steering controls worked, and knowing how multimeters work realized I needed to add resistance, I have a tool that adds resistance and that's howI came up with the 723, funny how it works, but it did, hope this helps.
I have resolved this after talking to Ernie at PAC. He said that combining pin 2 and 12 with the pink, then brown to pin 16, chassis ground may work. He was correct. Works like a charm, and no expensive adapters required.
I found the easier way to attach. Put input 1 and 2 or key 1 and 2 onto the green/red wire A3. That’s the steering wheel positive. Attach the ground to the brown cable A14 No resistors needed

Thanks, yes it was challenging to figure out the fix, thanks for commenting
Also feel free to share this video on some of those groups you’re on, I would really appreciate the help
@@dannysdiygarage OK! I will have to find out how to do that first and then you have my word that I will share it around!
So thorough. Really appreciate you taking the time to share this.
You’re welcome! I appreciate your generosity 👍🏼
Awesome, looks like all of your videos are helping me installing T'EYEs Android HU. Didnt know ill need the CRUX.
2006 Element EX-P Tango RED
Please update me on your installation process and any issues, this might help others, thanks so much
Hi. When you install head unit too your Honda Civic. Did you have problems with steering wheel control?
No, everything worked flawlessly
Hi Danny, thank you so much for the video! Before the CRUX, can you turn the volume down?
Question, how come not to use the RCA (Lows) outs of the HU but the Highs of the HU?
I’m sorry I didn’t understand your question
low level are RCA and high level is the speaker outs from head unit compared on audio output
Youre so awesome for what you do!
I appreciate that!

Let me know if it works for you, it took me weeks to figure it out, I still can’t figure out why it works, but it does, good luck, so frustrating 👍🏼

@@SiCaRiI_DaGgEr I installed the same system in my Civic and everything worked fine
How did you figure out that you needed resistance? And how did you figure out how much resistance you need?

Bro, ain't no way. There has to be a better solution than running all those resistors. Solid work though.
I’m sure there is, all I know is it only works when the resistance was added, so I’m sharing it with my viewers incase someone runs into this issue
Appreciate you man. Thanks for posting.@@dannysdiygarage

No resistors needed
Great information, year and model would be helpful for others, and what unit brand player. thanks
care to do a more simpler break down on how to explain this? Sorry not too versed in wiring
Might try without the resistors - would this work on an EX?
