I am planning on adding an after market stereo soon.
Has anyone used a wiring harness to connect the wiring? If so, can they tell me the model type for the wiring harness??

I used 01 Accord harness. I think it doesnt have 1 of the wire but it worked fine.

I take it you don't know what that one wire's function is? Thanks, for the response though. Everything works fine? Does the stereo wheel controls still work??

RR32CLS

nope, with a new aftermarket head-unit, you will lose your steering wheel controls. yeah, the 98up accord wiring harness will work just fine. and your going to need to bypass your amp and run speaker wires. have fun

RR32CLS, dude, I just emailed you cause your PM mailbox is full. Did you get my check???

RR32CLS

sorry, i was out of town. i just deleted my box and when did you send the check?

just checked the mail, nothing yet. probably monday since we are almost in the same time zone. i will send it monday if/when it comes.

thanks

I knew what it was but dont remember what it is. It's been a long time since I last messed with it. Like RR32CLS said, sterling wheel control wont work with aftermarket HUs unless you get a kit from Peripheral.

I did an aftermarket in my last car and it was easy, but with the bose system and the amplified speakers is there anything special I need to do? What do you mean about running speaker wire? Shouldn't that already be there with the stock head unit? I'm confused.

I will probably get after market speakers eventually anyway...then I will need speaker wire right?

Thanks for helping this noob out.

Hey, I got a 99 3.0 with the bose system and am about to put in an Alpine head unit. Since the bose head unit is slightly larger, I'm guessing I will need a dash kit. Has anyone had a problem getting a dash kit for our cars? If so, can you tell me what kind was it? Any help will be appreciated.
