still at it
nah man j/k..i give you props for asking these questions..a lil off topc but how do you rep ppl/and whats the benefit..cuz i wanna rep you for wrenching on your own car
...oh and if you havent already..any time you work on car's electrical, disconnect the negative battery terminal...but ***not***the positive only evvvver.........and if when you hook up everything and something electrical isnt working check your fuses
****late add on***** and there should be to blue ones....one with a white stripe one without....one is meant for a power antenna which we dont have the other is one is called a source which you use to connect to your amp so your amp knows when to turn on and off...can remember which...but the instructions that came with the harness will tell...if you plan on adding an amp later you can take the same guage wire and make the amp turn on wire (source) longer now...so later you dont have to pull you head unit

for future refrence. 1) don't hard wire radios. 2) if you must use t-taps. but your have to look in a hynes manual or something or maybe get the diagram from honda.
ok so i didnt understand..yeah.cutting your stock harness bad idea
i applaud you for doing this on your own...but next time post a thread on what you need and someone will give you all the info

my wires are listed here http://www.dualav.com/i/product/manu...%202-16-05.pdf
once you get the wires connected properly, then go under you hood and open you fuse box cover..you probaly (i'm 99% sure) blew the #2 fuse....its listed as fuse number 2 and controls the audio unit, dash lights, front parking lights, front side marker lights, heater control panel, license plate lights, rear side marker lights, tailights and its a 15amp fuse
