I will try to get some pictures today. As for carplay, I haven't gone to the apple store to get the cables yet. My only complaint is that the stock USB no longer even supplies power which is annoying because I thought that I would have the ability to charge to USB devices at once, but oh well it is a small price to pay. I will try to go get the carplay cables today and install the new firmware too and test it out.

I've been having problems installing the Pac Swi-RC onto my TSX. Does it tap into the Pink of the radio harness? I swore when I looked at it, it wasn't pink.... #16 correct? Please confirm.

Not sure I used the idatalink Maestro much easier as all you have to do is log into the website and it programs it for you. As for the colors of pins I connected to, I think I spliced into a brown pin and a pinkish/red pin. Not 100% on that though. http://puu.sh/dP731/fae84aeeed.png Here is the wiring diagram idatalink gives you. Note that I did not hook up the bluetooth wire as it said it was under the glove box. My unit auto pairs anyways so there was no need to hook that part up.

its actualy 2 wires. I had the same confusion before. its #16 and another. read the instructions on the pac site again.

EDIT:

"Connect the INTERFACE's white wires to Pin16 (Pink) of the above connector. Connect pin 5 (Brown, Yellow or Orange) to chassis ground."
