I have a 2011 Honda Accord LX-P model. It doesn’t have the Premium Sound System. I’m planning to replace the factory radio to a touchscreen one. Amazon says the Metra 70-1730 doesn’t fit with my car and I should use 1729. My problem with this the aftermarket radio accepts RCAs for the speaker wire. Do you think I can use 1730 (what you used in yhis video) or if not, how do you think I should go about using 1729? Thank you!
I have a 2010 TSX but the console looks almost identical. Thank you for the instructional video. My only issue is my car already has an intergrated microphone so I'll figure that out when I get there.
Hey this video helped me alot doing an install today. Thank you . But I was wondering, where do you get the subwoofer cable and how do you wire it? My factory radio had way more bass now it's very thin sounding...any help is super appreciated
I don’t know if you made this video to show case how good you are in doing this or wanted to help some one because I find it hard to follow your instructions,, the only thing I got from this video was what to buy but the connection nothing to fast of an explanation. Know Im left with all this wires and not sure what to do 🤦🏽🤣
Great video. Too complicated for me install myself but it's nice to see how its done and will look. I purchase a pioneer unit from bestbuy and they will install in my 2008 accord for free. I didnt think this was possible. Thank you!
@@domos888 do it yourself. its really not difficult at all. I just installed this same setup in mine. I had no prior soldering experience prior, or radio install experience. as far as the radio, and dash kit goes I got everything in just fine.
Damn. Was hoping this head unit needed a speed signal. I'd already done this install minus the VSS. I got the Crutchfield master sheet and it mentions under drivers dash fusebox pin 14 (blue wire) on a white or blue 20 pin connector but there are two 20 pin connectors with blue wires.
Hello. Thanks for the detailed video on installing an aftermarket radio into a 08-12 Accord. I picked up a 2010 accord coupe for my niece, who is in college. I'm installing a double din pioneer unit and back up camera. I want to ensure I don't damage the temp gauge controls when I remove from the radio surround. After the screws are removed, does it just come right out from the back. Other videos show it having to be pushed out with some force from the front. Thanks Carck
Did you have to tap into the factory harness? Couldn’t you connect the steering wheel control wires to red and black on the aftermarket harness? Ground and constant 12v is not specific.....
Don’t use the subwoofer wire he has in the video just connect your rca cable from your subwoofer amp to the radio and connect your blue remote wire to the blue wire and the radio wire harness
did you disconnect the top display above the radio when you connected this unit? also would you recommend this over the setup of placing a unit above the dashboard?
Can I just add the pins to the harness included with the kit that way I don't have to tap in to the pink and brown wire in the stock harness for the axxessinterface??
Hello. I was able to get all the parts for my install except for the SW harness. What about the other 3 plugs/harnesses from the factory head unit, do these simply not connect anywhere??
I connected sub to my radio, but my factory amp didn’t connect, did not connect the white rca, wondering were I would plug that if my radio only has 6 plugins or can I tie it into one of the rcas
great video, i have 2011 accord, and i was wondering can the top screen be replaced with a different kind or type of screen/monitor? Lastly, not everyone sells that same wiring harness that you have with the rca's on the end. Best Buy didn't even have that.
With the scosche dash kit, I can't figure out how to get two of the screws in that go up from the bottom. They screwed into the metal frame of the old radio. Didn't note if there are holes for it in the scosche plastic brackets. Any guidance would be appreciated. Nice video by the way.
I have a 2010 accord coupe v6. I followed your install steps in the vid, the radio seems to work fine but now my viper smartstart won't turn over the engine.I wonder what I did wrong?
I keep installing my climate controls. The recycle button keeps getting stuck. The vents were put down first then the climate controls. Did u have issue with that?
Super clean install. And nice dash kit , looks like it came from factory Btw. How can I tell which one is the left or right speaker output from the pioneer. It didn’t have any markings. Just red and white
Did you have any issues with this setup? I have a 2010 accord coupe w/factcory amp....so my setup is similar to yours. I been having issues with my steering wheel controls going in and out.
I followed all of the instructions but the volume was very very low. So I installed another wire harness without the av jacks stereo works great but now my engine cranks but will not start. All lights work and stereo works. Could I have possibly just drained the battery due to having the interior lights on as the sun went down and it was the only light I had to work with? I have a 09 Honda Accord lx
Possibly, lots of variables there. Using a multimeter will help you identify if you have a dead battery. The harness with the rca ends are only used for accords with the factory amplified sound system. If you don’t have the factory amped sound system, the other harness in the description is needed.
I have a 2008 Honda Accord coupe with navigation. Can you please tell me where the factory amps are located? I was able to locate 2 of them but I was told that there was 3.
Thank you for sharing this video. This is very helpful. I am installing the Pioneer AVH-2550NEX and backup camera in my daughter's 2012 Accord. I have the iDataLink Maestro for the steering wheel control. It connects to the Pioneer stereo using a 3.5mm jack. How does your steering wheel control connect to the Pioneer stereo?
I have the idatalink harness too and this thing has been kicking my ass ever since I installed it. For whatever reason I keep losing my steering wheel controls mid ride.
I believe only accords of this Era with navigation have Bluetooth. This video is for no nav accords. I could be wrong but my 09 premium audio, no navigation had no Bluetooth stock. Your HU should have bluetooth and doesn't need it from your car
So the two Phillips head screws under the plastic you have to pop off wknt come out. The one near the ignition just keeps spinning and won’t come out don’t know what to do
Hi Provo Beast! Huge favor, I have the same radio without navigation as shown in this video and can not get the PAC SWI-RC to connect to the steering wheel controls. To confirm, are you only connecting two wires from the PAC SWI-RC to pin 16 pink and pin 5 brown as shown in the video? Are any other wires being connected from the PAC SWI-RC? Last question, do the dip switches on the PAC SWI-RC not work which is why we need to program the PAC SWI-RC? All of my confusion is coming directly from PAC and their provided instructions on their site after I plug in my car info (2012 Honda Accord no navigation). Any information is greatly appreciated, I am going crazy. Thanks!
Does your clock still work on the car after installing the aftermarket radio? I installed an aftermarket on a 2011 accord but the clock on the car doesn't turn on. Not sure if that's normal
We recorded footage of the backup camera install, video up shortly. In the meantime, we have a helpful backup camera general tutorial video on the channel that may helpful.
Would anyone be able to tell me where to find the instructions to program the steering wheel box. I went on the website and it tells me what switches to flip and how to wire it but it never says hot to program it. In the video he needs to press different buttons on the steering wheel and push the program button but I can not find it anyone. Thx in advance
I have a question, I got this idea from the 350Z concept that they have. Has anyone ever done a dual monitor setup in 2011 Accord's ? I was wanting to do that but don't really know how to go about it. Is there any video's of anyone doing that?
My Radio wont really work, very low signal even with the Adapter and the blue cable plugged into the Red wire... I'm not sure but the plug does not seem to really be making contact on the inside .... anyone having the same issue?
Hello, i bought the stereo harness but i keep getting the harness for a premium factory stereo and mine is not nor does it have navigation. Do you know how i can get the harness for the mone premium factory stereo?

Hey does anyone know the subwoofer adapter?
@@joshnina92 It's included with the wiring harness adapter linked in the description: amzn.to/35D0vbo
I have a 2010 TSX but the console looks almost identical. Thank you for the instructional video. My only issue is my car already has an intergrated microphone so I'll figure that out when I get there.
So does mine, but once you remove stock head unit it’s not functional any longer. Most double dins come with built in mics
Very well done! Thanks for an outstanding how-to.
Hey great job! Were ready for the backup camera video!!!
Video up! ua-cam.com/video/ho6KK9QWQ6A/v-deo.html
I just order mine today i have an Honda Accord 2009 hopefully mine looks good likes your thank for showing yours

Wow! This is awesome!!!
Where did you connect the subwoofer wire to on the radio itself? I have a red and white wire to plug it into
Seems like a huge PITA
Hey this video helped me alot doing an install today. Thank you . But I was wondering, where do you get the subwoofer cable and how do you wire it? My factory radio had way more bass now it's very thin sounding...any help is super appreciated
Wouldve been cool to show how you connected the steering wheel harness and antenna wires.

Awesome video
What a great video!
Thank you…..
What tool did you use to get the female end of the usb port into the center console and do have any tips on how to use the tool or videos related 🤔
Can this installation be done without using a soldering iron tool or soldering the wire harness at all?
Great video. Too complicated for me install myself but it's nice to see how its done and will look. I purchase a pioneer unit from bestbuy and they will install in my 2008 accord for free. I didnt think this was possible. Thank you!

@@domos888 do it yourself. its really not difficult at all. I just installed this same setup in mine. I had no prior soldering experience prior, or radio install experience. as far as the radio, and dash kit goes I got everything in just fine.

Muy buenos video gracias saludos desde Atlanta Georgia
Could you post the wiring diagram please?
What would you do if you wanna have a after market amp and subwoofers
Don’t use the subwoofer wire he has in the video just connect your rca cable from your subwoofer amp to the radio and connect your blue remote wire to the blue wire and the radio wire harness
did you disconnect the top display above the radio when you connected this unit? also would you recommend this over the setup of placing a unit above the dashboard?
Thanks for the great video. I have a 2010 Crosstour EXL with the CD player. Does it require any other adapters for the CD player? Thanks.
Can this be done for the 2014 with a navi
Can I just add the pins to the harness included with the kit that way I don't have to tap in to the pink and brown wire in the stock harness for the axxessinterface??
Is there any way to have to have the top display still display clock and other basic information? Mine is dead after installing double din unit.

great video, i have 2011 accord, and i was wondering can the top screen be replaced with a different kind or type of screen/monitor? Lastly, not everyone sells that same wiring harness that you have with the rca's on the end. Best Buy didn't even have that.
yea bro i got the same problem as you, try going to crutchfield that might help a little
Did you figure out what to do with the top screen?
@@Joe-qn8mh yeah i did, i went on cruntchfield and just buy the dash kit there, thanks bro
What dash kit was it? I'm interested in replacing that screen with a faceplate so that I can put some USB C charging ports.
What all things do we need to buy apart from pioneer NEX device?
With the scosche dash kit, I can't figure out how to get two of the screws in that go up from the bottom. They screwed into the metal frame of the old radio. Didn't note if there are holes for it in the scosche plastic brackets. Any guidance would be appreciated. Nice video by the way.
Ever figure this out?
Anyway I can wire a deck that allows me to map steering control from the deck it's self instead of buying a module?

So you still running the factory amp ?
I keep installing my climate controls. The recycle button keeps getting stuck. The vents were put down first then the climate controls. Did u have issue with that?
Super clean install. And nice dash kit , looks like it came from factory
Btw. How can I tell which one is the left or right speaker output from the pioneer. It didn’t have any markings. Just red and white
i'm a head late but for anyone else that comes across this, red is always right
Do you do service by any chance? This seems a little too much for me
Did you have any issues with this setup? I have a 2010 accord coupe w/factcory amp....so my setup is similar to yours. I been having issues with my steering wheel controls going in and out.
Does the screen feel too low/dangerous? Does it seem like you are looking down?
It is very low.
I followed all of the instructions but the volume was very very low. So I installed another wire harness without the av jacks stereo works great but now my engine cranks but will not start.

Where would the sw12 wire go and the bluetooth connector
What’s the name of the radio ? I have a 2009 accord and the panel is a little diff from your cross tour. Will it work ?
Do you think I could ask Best Buy to instal a radio just like this? Would I have to pre buy all the parts before hand or
Would this be the same for the 13-15 crosstour?
i really wish tere was a bigger unit for the radio replacement that didnt sit on top of the dashboard
You can always do a float mount screen and go larger.

Did you ever fix that issue?
it should. check your wire that leads from your clock to your ground to your wiring harness
Did you ever get it working?
Where do I buy the base?
How much did the monitor cost ?
What if the harness the metra harness has a orange and a orange and white wire do I solder both to the orange and white wire in the pioneer harness?
Yep!
