Hey all, I'm trying to install the Parrot Ck3000 into my TSX. It seems to be more complicated than I thought it would be. I searched around the forum and I found that 1 person was successful with the installation but it was on the 03 TL-S. Here's the link:

So what I'm going to do is purchase those wire harnesses (so I won't void my warranty) then connect them accordingly.

Here's my first question before I start destroying my car. Is the 20 pin connector on that 03 TL-S and the 04 TSX the same? configuration wise, perhaps color wise?

As soon I get started, I will post pics and steps that''ll hopefully useful for the forum.

Wish me luck

For everyone out there that has the Parrot...does this unit splice into just the front driver side door speaker, or to all of the speakers?

I ahve not worked on the TL, but the TSX has a factory amp in the center console with two harnesses, an input harness and an output harness.

NEITHER harness is available in the aftermarket. The smaller 14-pin doesn't seem to have an analog at all, and the 20 pin is the same connector as the 2002-up Accord radio plug, but with more wires used. There is a thread going over this, but basically the 20-pin has R and L tweet, R and L F mid, R and L Rear mid, and L and R 6x9 woofer in it, so there are more wires.

If you want to make a "T" harness where you unplug the OE amp and plug in a bypass harness without cutting any wires, you can make your own "T" harness - just buy TWO radio-side 2002 Accord harnesses and TWO car-side Accord harnesses, and pull the wires out of one and insert them into the other (as I discuss in another post somewhere...)

When you pull the wires out of the connectors do not let the metal pin slash your hand/finger - it bleeds a lot.
