      It's been a VERY long time since I did this and I no longer have this vehicle, but as I watched my video to see what I was saying to do, and to answer your question, you should have 1 wire from your aftermarket which triggers your screen to turn on when you go into reverse. That wire needs to connect directly to the two connector wires that the video talkes about connecting it too. I hope that made sense.

      I thought I had a video on the steering wheel but I guess not. Mainly you take the steering wheel off and on the back side their should be screws, I believe, to take of the different pieces. In those pieces you take them apart and you should see the lights. To be honest with you I don't recall what lights I used as I believe they were smaller than the ones in this videos description but not sure. It's been way to long.

I am going to keep my factory radio. Should I bypass the factory amp or splice into the wires before and after the factory amp? Do I need to get a digital line converter because of the ELS system?

That factory sub box isn't gonna cut it, it's designed for that shit paper sub that's flimsy and weak and doesn't take much power to move it. It needs a small enclosure to keep it in control so it doesn't move in and out further than it's mechanical ability (XMAX)

      If I recall, I believe so. There is a small factory amp that goes in the same enclosure as the factory sub is in. As seen in my other videos, I decided to go ahead and replace the whole system.

    Good morning bro, i have an acura rdx sh-awd 2012 and i trying to change the audio system, my question is when you replace the information screen, can you see the information from the central panel like ac etc?.

    • @daho30

      Yes, but you'll need to keep your factory system plugged in to see the info. At least I had to on my 2007.

      @@daho30 i think its going to be the same, there is not too much information about install an aftermarket radio on the first generation acura RDX.

      The factory stereo is under my dash. You have to have it plugged in in order to see the temperature of your heat and A/C. I show/talk about this in one of my videos.
