NOTE: After installing the headunit I noticed a slight buzzing/frequency noise in the speakers at low volumes & whenever a button was pressed on the headunit. The speakers were also insanely loud at low volumes & the ground for the e-brake wire didn't work the way I hoped it would. You have 3 options if this happens to you!
You can either
A) Watch this video where I show you guys how to still use the power of the stock amp & get rid of the buzzing noise & offset volume controls!! (This is the best option as the factory amp provides more power to your speakers & sub than any aftermarket headunit would.)
Here is the Link

B) Buy this harness from Scosche which comes with RCA's already built in & retains the factory amp & sub. (Works but Scosche messed up the pin locations on the amp harness connector so you will need to re pin it anyways)
Here is the Link

C) Order the premium audio amp bypass harness & run your speakers off the power of your new headunit. (Won't sound as good)
Here is the link to the amp bypass harness

Only person to post a video about the EX or Si amp bypass wiring with a full walkthrough! Your video helped so much, only reason I’ve been holding out on a new head unit. You’ve got a new sub tysm!
Great video, this helped out alot!! I watched this and your other one about the static and everything worked perfectly the first time. Keep it up my man!!👍
Awesome! Good job on the install 🙌🏼
Just finished installing today watching your video. went perfect and smooth first try! Thanks for the help w that factory wire that powers all speakers I would not have known that
Awesome my friend I just bought a factory head unit and it wasn't getting sound so I gave up and bought a brand new aftermarket and I will have the same problem you are a lifesaver brother
Dude it worked. Your the man. I can't thank you enough.
Brooooo I was stuck on the amp part for days thank you 🙏🏾
Video came in clutch 💯
THANK U MY GUY !!!! was about to take it to a shop but i got it to work!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Good job dawg great video please keep up the good work no matter what!
Thank you!! 🙌🏼 Lots more to come!🤙🏼
Thanks bro.. clean install!! Amp on wire is money!!! Can't wait to install my deck.
If you get any static noise make sure to watch my video on how to fix that as well 🙌🏼 appreciate it man!
@@DanielKellert thx bro!! Be sure check on that. 👍
Thank you for this video. I just installed my new radio and every step was on point🤘
Beauty! Glad it helped 🤙🏼
Did you also follow the video to fix the static without an amp bypass? Or did you use an amp bypass
@@DarkLight4131 ua-cam.com/video/rA358n6hZx8/v-deo.html
Follow that video & I explain how to wire it with RCA’s to retain the use of the factory amp. If you want to bypass the factory amp you can buy a bypass harness as well.
Only reason I had been holding out on a new head unit was the whole amp bypass/wiring ordeal-then I ran across this video! Did everything as you did and it’s working perfectly! Thanks!
Good video. Now I have to help this young squm get a Pioneer DVD/Navi installed on to this car.
Awesome Thanks dude for you help 👍
Decided to tackle this myself and this video was a huge help.
Awesome to hear! If you have any issues check out this video, ua-cam.com/video/rA358n6hZx8/v-deo.html hopefully it helps too! 👍🏼
@@DanielKellert yeah mine has that static. I’ll definitely be wiring in those RCA cables
@@tylermoore3903 Beauty! Good luck 🤙🏼
@@DanielKellert I do have one question though. When you wired in the antenna adapter, did you tap in to the yellow 12v constant? Or red 12v Accessory?
@@tylermoore3903 Tap into the red 12v
Sweet it works!!!! Ty!
Man You have no idea how much this helped me
That’s what I like to hear 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Awesome. I want to do this to my FA5
Hey Daniel , for the clips holding the radio, are there any on the bottom as well? Or just the 5 white plastic ones, and the 3 metal clips on the right side?
Ok, so most aftermarket are running speaker out into the cars premium amp. That's why its too loud and you have no volume control. If you lower the levels through EQ and such, you are taking basically no singal, then amplifying it resulting in noise and loss of dynamic range. The head unit might be able to switch to pre-level outs or maybe have separate outputs for it, but that means more cutting into the factory harness.
I'm planning to do mine with a bunch of bullet connectors on the factory side so I can pop back to the factory connector vs RCA if I need too.
Question! When u put the new head unit did your climate control knobs spot lighting up when u turn the light on at night? Mine did I’m just wondering if there’s a way to make them work??
hey quick question for you ! Why don't you use the amp ground (black and white wire) from the harness ?
Only thing I have a question about when I installed mine the illumination for the backlight for the climate switches, hazard, and air bag light don't come on worked before installing new radio any ideas
Would that work for the Ex 2012 Coupe? I've used the white line blue wire and hooked it up to the red acc and I still can't get it to work.
Any idea where the factory amp is? My stock radio cuts in and out. I took it out and put some contact cleaner on all the connections and reseat them a bunch of times, but its still fucked. It cuts in and out when I hit bumps or sometimes if I hulk smash the dash with my fist. I'm thinking I have to check the factory amp connection side and see if that's all crud. I'm not convinced that if I replace the factory radio I'm not still gonna have the amp cut in and out.
Hey man great vid, what color did you buy for the scosche? Is that the dark grey or the blue one?
It's the dark grey.
Did you ever find the self tapping screws for mounting?
Good video, dude. Know where I can get an OEM wiring diagram?
eXCELLENT vIDEO GREAT
Is it safe to put the mic by the airbag? If this question was already asked my bad lol
What about steering controls ?
1:25 double din adapter.. where to get it?? Is it standard for all cars?
How did you manage to put the wallpaper?
Ok how did you power and use your factory amp to subwoofer and tweets? The blue wire powers the amp but you still have to splice and run rca wires to factory amp to get it to work or else you are just using the amp from the head unit
I explain it all in this video ua-cam.com/video/rA358n6hZx8/v-deo.html give it a watch!
Thanks for all your help! I got the stereo working and everything including the switch. Do you know if the stock sub is supposed to work? It doesn’t seem like there’s any sound coming out of it
No problem! & yes the factory sub should work.
@@DanielKellert Oh I think it seems like I gotta adjust some settings on my head unit, i went up close to the sub and it was working.
Thanks for all your help again man!
@@DarkLight4131 👍🏼👍🏼 no problem
@@DarkLight4131 I don't think it does. Mine is 08 civic SI, the same no sub. Everything else works great. I don't see any wiring in the adapter kit that even states sub wire. I have a pioneer double din. There was no extra wires hanging either. I had multiple kits including steering wheel kit.
So does your subwoofer still work with the way you use the factory wiring for the factory amp? I wanted to get a Dasiata Andriod Head Unit and I think this method will allow me to use it to the fullest.
It might be better since I think it's built to plug and go.
Hey man a few questions, I have an aftermarket amp and sub, where do I wire to for that? And when I have key in accessory the head unit powers and shows me a Home Screen, when I turn the car on it says “video no signal”
On the amp you will need a power wire directly to your battery with an large in line fuse. Most likely 4 gauge wire depending how much power output your amp has. Then you will need a good ground wire for the amp (probably 4 gauge as well). You will also need to run rca cables from the headunit on the subwoofer pre out to whatever channel you want to run your subs off of on your amp. Then you will need to run speaker wires (+ & -) from the corresponding channel to the RCA’s directly to the subwoofer. Hopefully that makes sense!
Does the sun hit the screen real bad?
I did this same thing with the Amp turn on splice and it had constant drain and kept killing the battery so now I'm back to factory just curious if yours did the same
You must have wired it to the constant 12v, there is a constant and accessory 12v, wire it into the accessory
I have an 08 SI sedan w/ premium sound, threw in an aftermarket radio & it works except both front door speakers & the steering wheel controls, any idea how to fix this? And there's high static/over powered (I watched your video where you cut the wires & used RCA cables, I might try that)
The way I wired the harness in this video is without steering wheel controls. If you want to keep the steering wheel controls you will need to buy the harness adapter & module for it!
As for the front speakers.. I recommend watching this video. ua-cam.com/video/rA358n6hZx8/v-deo.html
I explain in pretty good detail how these premium audio systems are wired with the factory wiring diagram. I also explain what each wire colour controls on the harness (green & green/black controls the left rear speaker) & so on. Make sure all of your wires are connected properly as I explained in the video.
Hopefully this leads you in the right direction to finding the issue! 😃
Shit I totally missed the part where you saw that video..... yes the RCA’s will 100% fix the static & offset volume issue!
My stereo turns on but it doesn't play why.
@@DanielKellert no it wont
@@DanielKellert i tried rca wires but the volume was so finicky. i had my stereo almost on max volume to hear it any sense. but what wire is it in the harness there that’s for the steering wheel controls and why can we not tap those wires into wires else where on the main harness to head unit? why do we need the adapter?
You can also install a steering wheel control module to retain your steering wheel controls. Also many units have a backup camera port that you can install a backup camera to.
Yes you are right👍🏼 I didn’t care about the steering wheel controls & my neck works so I just turn my head around & look through the back window 😂
Which wires are the steering wheel controls?
Um why my subwoffer wont work ? All speakers work and sub and now is not working it was working fine with stock radio
Hello, on the search there is an SI on the screen of the multimedia center. Is it possible to do it?
Yup! You just need to download the image on a USB stick & then transfer it to the headunit!
Anyone know where i can find a premium audio amp? Seems like the old owner just took it off the car. So lame.
I have an 08 si installed the radio a year ago but the freakin radio (AM FM) is killing me it has alot of static on the channels and I am debating on installing an aftermarket antenna in the car to just get rid of it at this point I don't feel like it is working the way it should and I am at my wits end with it.
I have a separate video on this. Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/rA358n6hZx8/v-deo.html
okay so i got one of those android 10 head units and the harness they sent me has two connectors, one is that main harness and the other is for that connector you had to splice into. But im still not getting sound. I am so confused..... and what is the middle white connector? lol and of course the thing i have is a no name chinese head unit so finding info is impossible
Hard to help when I have no visual of what’s going on, but if you shoot me a message on Instagram I’m sure I can help you out! 😃 My Instagram is linked in the description & on my channel home page! 👍🏼
Bro I did my install and now whenever the car moves it makes a loud ass beeping noise and increases beeping speed with increased wheel speed
I have the premium sound system, I did everything you show but my sound is too loud even at a 1 volume. Does anyone now what's wrong? It looks like my amps are doubled.
Yup that’s exactly what happened to me too! 🥴 Check out my channel I made a video explaining how to fix it & why the volume is so offset 😃
Here is the link to the video
ua-cam.com/video/rA358n6hZx8/v-deo.html
Hope this helps 😃
@@DanielKellert It does explain a lot. I've been looking for a video like this for a while, thanks for answering. Nice job explaining things in your videos. Keep it up.
@@Jfkt13 Thats what I like to hear!👍🏼 Comments like these are the reason I make these videos 😃 Thank you!
Hey man I’m having the same problem as you, my music is not playing, but I do not have the blue and white wire on my after market stereo, what can I do? Please help I’ve been trying to figure this out for the past few days
Read the owners manual for your headunit & find out which wire colour is the remote amp wire! It might not be a blue & white wire on some headunits!
@@DanielKellert it doesn’t seem to have a wire for the amp, I sent you a message in instagram
All speakers went on with that olive colored wire? I’m having the same issue. I only have front speakers playing
If you have any audio output at all that means your amp is powered & is working. Make sure all of your speaker signal wires are connected properly. I explain a little more in depth here & it will save you that annoying buzzing sound.

Hope this helps!
Ya. So the guy that installed this stereo did all of that with the rca cables. I took it apart about a year ago to find out why my rear speakers weren’t working that’s when I seen them. I did take it out and still no rear. But I just found a amp bypass harness from metra.
@@pineapplexpress2653 I have a link to the amp bypass harness in the description as well... although in my situation I didn’t want to bypass the amp because the factory amp has more output power than my headunit.
I’d start checking continuity on wires to the rear speakers & see if you have an open somewhere. If you verify all the wires are good then check for an output signal at the amp, if the amp gives an output signal & the wires are good & everything is connected properly, the speakers could be pooched.
Take it step by step & I’m sure you’ll find your issue!! 😃
Great sincere video you'd posted. You're awesomely sincere!
just wondering; why didnt u look into steering wheel controls, since your car has it ?
I never use them 😅
@@DanielKellert oh lol. doing this on my 06 ex coupe and im prob gonna get the harness w steering wheel controls just for a tad more resale value when i let her go
@@vincentgiordano403 If you use them I’d say it’s worth it! 👍🏼
do all civic si’s have premium audio ? how could u tell ?
Pretty sure all of the Si’s do, but don’t quote me on that 😂 if it has the premium audio system it should say “Premium Audio System” on the oem headunit!
@@DanielKellert i don’t have the oem head unit, i si has a double din in it and the wiring is horrendous. only the passenger side speaker works so i’m trying to fix the wiring. it would be awesome if u could help me out ?
@@seyer9152 For sure man shoot me a message on Instagram! Link to my Instagram is in the description 👍🏼
@@seyer9152 if you have the stock subwoofer in the back thats how you know you have the premium audio
Do you want to sell the stock radio?
Did the video play? By grounding it off ?
It might with certain audio manufacturers, but with the Pioneer it didn’t. I had to run a switch in series. Pioneer needs to see an E brake on, off, then back on again to activate the video on the unit. I explain how I ended up wiring the e brake switch at the 4:45 mark in this video
ua-cam.com/video/rA358n6hZx8/v-deo.html
Hope this helps!
@William Notmylastname Hell ya man glad the videos helped! Letterkenny is a classic 😂 you must be Canadian too 🤟🏼
@William Notmylastname I just left the switch inside the access panel under the headunit. Then I ran my USB cable into the glove box! I would suggest you watch this video too ua-cam.com/video/rA358n6hZx8/v-deo.html I explain the wiring a lot more in depth & fix a couple issues I had after installing the unit🤙🏼
@William Notmylastname No it should be the exact same. That black wire is just a chassis ground & all you are doing by running the switch is tricking the headunit into thinking the switch is your “e brake”. It should be the same for an automatic. Just run the switch in series with that black chassis ground wire.
Dang i wish i didnt buy my car custom they just cut the wires from car and connected them to an old head unit. Been wanting to put a new one but i dont know how to put it back to factory harness so i can just buy the one that goes into headunit and it connects like factory
Do you have the link for the pioneer ?
Yup! Here is the link for the headunit I used! 😃

@@edarellano13 No problem! If you’re doing this install I highly recommend watching this video too ua-cam.com/video/rA358n6hZx8/v-deo.html Glad I could help! 👍🏼
U could’ve gotten a better head unit for same price bro with the harness , gps , WiFi and free mounts for $136
You win some you lose some I guess 🤷🏻
If you happen to see this, how much of a pain in the fucking ass was it for you to get those two screws underneath the stereo secured? I never got them and ended up zip tying that shit up.
Super easy. Just use a 1/4 inch ratchet, 1-2 inch extension & a 8mm shallow socket. Should be able to get em back in no problem 👍🏼
The civic si has a aux and usb stock. Usb in center console. And aux is under the temp controls on left. And then get the apple to aux at gas station for 10 bucks
it didnt work :/
😢😔im bout that bro
@@ILoveEri24 take out the amp it should work :)
How did you manage to put the wallpaper?
Download the image on a USB stick then transfer it to the headunit!
