there are people saying you gotta bypass the amp...some say jus get the harness it works. I just want to be clear and get it right the first time. thanks in advance.

 

i had a JVC double din in my cl. you just have to hook the blue amp wire to the "amp turn on wire" in the oem plug. i forgot what color it is. just look up the oem radio wiring harness diagram. i was in the same situation as you. then i called a local audio shop and they told me how to do it and it worked great and sounded good too.

 

so jus get the second option that I listed right? and connect the blue wire for the stock amp to turn on...thanks for leavin a response

 

yea. i just got the 12$ harness and trim piece off ebay and it all worked out good.

 

Thank you!

 

When I installed my Pioneer Avic Z-120bt, i was told to install the PAC SOEM-4.

I bought the standard Honda harness for my double din and the damn harness didn't come with a remote wire. I tried to manually plug my headunit's remote to car's remote and the sound of the bose speakers still wouldn't come on. I even tried the orange color on the stock harness, and still nothing. When I plug my subwoofer into the back of the headunit, you can definitely hear all the bass just no damn music from the stock speakers. help?!

 

i can't recall where i connected my remote wire, but i want to say i just hooked it up to the not constant power.

it's ghetto, but it works.

 

i searched my amazon history & this is the harness i used
