you dont need all the wires hooked up to have the head unit installed and functioning you need:
constant power
switched (accessory) power
ground
+ and - for each of the four speakers

cap everything else off individually and your golden

yeah but i have no interior lighting, the last 3 left are interior lights and whats SW OUT and IGN...ign is ignition and that goes to (accessor poweR)? wehn i connect the radio to the wires it dosent power on which power wires go to each other can anyone tell me iv tried some but maybe im wrong, thats basically all i need becuase the speakers are done just need some power to get the radio on

SW OUT is what color? I'm guessing brown or brown/white. If so, it's for steering wheel controls, and you won't need it. IGN would be accessory power and is a red wire right? You DO need that wire, deck won't turn on without it.

The wires you NEED are:

Red - Switched (IGN) power
Yellow - Constant power
Black - ground
White + White/Black - Left front speaker
Grey + Grey/Black - Right front speaker
Green + Green/Black - Left rear speaker
Purple + Purple/Black - Right rear speaker

don't forget to connect the power antenna wire too, it powers the signal booster we have in the back. if your HU has remote turn on & power antena wire, connect it to power ant., if it only has remote turn on, connect it to that.

i still have a littele stub of wire sticking out of the old harnes i clipped i should be able to connect it tothat no prob and if not ill just hookit up to the new one i have laying around from bestbuy

well, since you already cut it, i wouldn't put the factory harness back on, what is done is done. your better off just connecting your HU harness directly to your factory wires. it would just be more connections for nothing, u would have all the connections from the factory wires to the factory harness, plus all the connections from the adapter to the HU harness.

if you want to, i can tell you wich wires go with wich, let me know.

well i got the speakers all connected just....no power to the radio iv tried turning it on and nothing happened i guess if i can power it on thats all i would need so yeah help with the power wires would help

if that doesn't work, you either have a blown fuse, or your HU is fu**ed, or loose wire/connection somewhere. if you follow the pic I gave you and it doesn't work, check the red accesory wire and the yellow constant wire to see if they get power. the red accesorry will only have power when the key is in the acc position or if the car is on.

check the other post. I gave you a wire for wire so that you can just hook it to the head unit

the blue remote turn-on wire goes the the 8th wire on your factory wires. look at the numbers on the pic, and at the right, it tells you wich wire to connect it to your HU

yes that true i dont have power until i turn on the car and i thinnk i blew a fuse i replaced the power lock fuse and it worked but i thinki blew it again becuase it wont power lock and how doi fix my dash lights they dont work is it as easy as just replacing bulbs? i saw smoke come out when one red wire hit anohter and i think the HU is fooked up, fuse i can fix and im prob gunna have to buy a new radio hu this ones prob been killed from all the mistakes

sorry to hear that man, you should have invested in the 10$ adapter, and you should never work with bare wires with power on. I do it, but fried an amp once, thank god it passed on the waranty. its really hard to descrip online how to check stuff, so i recomend you getting it checked locally.

 
Rep Power: 263

yeah ill prob just do that go to somelocal shop that does stereos and crap just to check it but i wanna finish this myself now i cant see my dash at night

how much do you guys think (what arm and leg) will honda sell me a radio harness for? im just gunna get a new one and plug in the adapter i got....yup i got it and i plan to use it i connected it to the new radio harness so it should work ...if it dosentim throwing that radio in the toilet

I'm not trying to be a d*ck, but it's already been suggested that you take it to a shop, considering you've had everything from smoke to non-working lights to intermittent power locks occur from your failed install. Why are you still messing with it??? I admire wanting to do this yourself, but enough is enough. You're going to wind up causing more damage, bro! Just cut your losses, do a little bit of damage control, and take it to a qualified audio guy!

And why are you starting a new thread, when this was already being addressed in another active thread? Makes it very hard for people to stick with you and offer help when you have them jumping between multiple threads...
