Do the AC controls on the NAV unit still work ?
Yes but on the 05 and up this installation does not work.
@@DCAutoEnhancement Have tried the 70 ohm resistor between pins 9&10 on the 15 pin connectorcso the canbus will on 2005&6 vehicles
@@MartinCHorowitz I have not tried that but that sounds like what I have read on a couple Acura forums
@@MartinCHorowitz can someone explain this to a simpleton ? im planning on doing this for an 05
so no one has figured out how to do the 2005. most sights advise against changing the stock unit out because of the loss of controlling the climate control. i have the black screen issue and would rather has newer equipment then to repair the old of which im not sure i could do.
This would be an excellent upgrade; however, after watching this video, all I want is that cotter pin extractor! Wow! :0) Thanks for making this video.
That's probably one of my favorite tools!
Thank you very much for the video. Almost everyone's saying it would not work, not recommended to replace the radio on 2002 mdx. Even crutchfield!
Thank you! I hope it helped!
Hey, i have an 02 mdx as well and i have the pioneer radio setup and it works great
Great job 👍
Thank you!
Just did a recent double din install. Sounds good sitting still but not when I start the engine. Soon as I start engine, I'm having "engine noise" in sound. It did it with a direct attachment to factory harness so I cut ground wire and still have the issue...
You still need the ground wire. Did you use rca connections for the speakers or the speaker wires from the radio?
Super Boss
I'll take that as a compliment?
Thinking of replacing my stereo
Did you have to purchase a USB extension to get the USB cord into the "not an ashtray". If not, how long was the USB wire that came with the radio?
If I remember correctly, I think the radio came with a 3ft extension
This may have been covered in the portion where the camera was bumped, but when you uninstalled the factory unit there were 4 sets up pins, but with the after-market there were only 2 sets. With the after market are the 3rd and 4th set of pins redundant and just don't need to be utilized?
It's been so long ago that I installed this but usually on an aftermarket radio there may be pins used for add-ons like satellite radio and such that don't get used on every installation. Factory radios sometimes have other components that don't work with the aftermarket radios, in this case the rear seat entertainment (DVD player) didn't work after this installation. I hope this answers your question.
HI, Thanks for the video... I noticed you didn't have anything on the AM/FM antenna. Is that required or does the cabling harness include that?
An antenna adapter is not required for this vehicle
@@DCAutoEnhancement thank you! One more...does the blue/white on the Metra 70-1725 go into the pioneer blue/white labeled System Remote Control?
If there is a blue and blue/white on the metra harness the hook the blue/white from the radio to both of them
I installed a single din pioneer head unit in my 2006 Acura MDX but the weird thing is the radio works fine sound quality is good but it blew a fuse to my rear driving lights. So I had to put the stock head back in and the fuse hasn’t blown. Also the navigation screen didn’t work with the pioneer. The back up camera came on when in reverse but no touch. Can’t seem to figure it out. Do I need another wiring harness?
I would just double check the wiring harness. The harness that plugs into the car has an orange maybe orange/white wire on it that is for illumination, I would disconnect that wire if it's hooked up. As for the nav screen not working, make sure you plug in all plugs on the back that you can. If your vehicle has rear seat entertainment then there will only be two plugs that don't get used. Thanks for the view and comment.
Question is there a way to use the HFL buttons (call/hang up) on the steering wheel
I would have to look into that
I would like to do the opposite I want to replace my navigation but will the menu and ac and cancel buttons work
That is a great question. I can not answer that because I've never done it like that. I have a feeling that it will not work. If you search Acura forums, you may find your answer on one of them.
did you connect the blue amp wire to the metra connector 70-1725 blue/gray wire?
yes, it was the blue/white wire on the metra harness if I remember correctly
Excuse my naivete, but I am not sure what you mean by installation kit instructions. I have the compatible PAC 4-Channel Line Output Converter, Metra Wiring Harness, and the Metra Dash Kit that are required for my older vehicle. Since I am using after-market parts, are the installation kit instructions available from a 3rd party or are they included with the stereo unit or any of the nec after-market parts? (I don't see a source in your links.)
Also, I don't see the CD changer make/model in your links below. Would any single disk car CD player that fits below the stereo work using the AUX input?
Crutchfield doesn't recommend installation of any after-market because of the risk to the car's climate control system. Can you please identify any related poss potential issues that I should make Best Buy aware of before the installation? Also, I understand that the CANBUS resistor bypass needs to be done in order for the factory navigation screen to still work. Is this accurate?
The dash kit that I used was from Metra 95-7866B

2002-2004 MDX you can follow this video
2005-2006 MDX you would have to do the resistor to retain touchscreen functionality. I have never done that install so I cant answer any questions regarding that.
also you can check out metraonline.com to lookup parts for your vehicle.
Hello, how iso with the 8 speakers that it brings, how do I connect them?
If you use the wiring harness adapter and make sure you connect the blue wire, all speakers will work because it goes through the vehicles factory amplifier.
I installed a radio to a 2006 acura mdx, but the navigation system no longer works the touch screen, but when I connect the factory radio then it works. I need help
I'm not sure what the issue may be. I don't recall checking the touch screen function of the nav system on the car in the video.
My navigation screen went bad. Bought one on Ebay. Got codes from Dealer. It worked for two weeks now its not working completely. Any suggestions?
It might just be a coincidence. If it was a wiring issue, the second one wouldn't have worked
Can you tell me please how you installed the CD player below the unit? Is it also Pioneer and is it still available?
The instructions in the installation kit shows how to do this installation like I did. As for the radio, if you click the link in the description, you will see if its still available.
2002 acura mdx with bose
Hey..good job..I have a 06 mdx touring/nav. When the factory radio is unplugged I lose touchscreen capability from the nav screen. The nav screen is where I can adjust fan speed for the climate control. Does your touchscreen have the fan speed controls?
This was a customer's vehicle. They didn't say they had any issues with anything not working. The aftermarket touch screen does not have any controls like fan speed.
How did you fix you touch screen problem
Yeah had the same problem my ac is stuck on at one speed and on one mode. With the after market radio. Plug the factory one back in and the navi/climate screen works
Hello sir, thanks for your kind and helpful video . 🙏🙏🙏
I have got an Acura MDX 2006, can i use Pioneer AVH-220EX Multimedia DVD Receiver to have also DVD player?
I don't think this will work on the 2006. I think there is an issue with the touch screen. Please read through the comments and you will find your answer.
I have an 06 with bose/Navi. I do not have the rear entertainment or aux in the back. I have a double din sitting around and want to put it in. Also plan on replacing the door speakers. I have 2 questions, one I can’t seem to find the answer to. Question one the wiring harness you call out 70-1725. That calls for an rsx I’m assuming they are compatible?? Question 2, the stock 10 inch free air in the back is blown. Do you know the specs of the sub, amps, and do you have a recommendation for a replacement. Trying to keep the factory location I don’t have room for a sub box with 4 kids in the car. Thank for the response and nice video 👍🏻
Thank you for your questions and watching. The wire harness called out is standard on a wide range of Honda models, I imagine it works on an RSX as well. This particular harness is for amplified factory stereos. About changing your speakers: Bose can be tricky. Most aftermarket speakers are 4ohm and most Bose speakers are 2ohm. What this means is if you put aftermarket speakers in the door they will only get half of the power that the rest of the speakers will get. I would recommend OEM Bose replacements. The same goes with the sub. Here is a link to a replacement sub. www.ebay.com/p/1762964382?iid=313123593092&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=313123593092&targetid=915850928613&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9016165&poi=&campaignid=10460085525&mkgroupid=109413763171&rlsatarget=pla-915850928613&abcId=2145999&merchantid=6296724&gclid=CjwKCAjwmMX4BRAAEiwA-zM4JnzzNO31lcggWJfYS-ql9_A1Xmi_Axzrdd_We2Z1GaQ6k_eh1iy-MhoC25kQAvD_BwE
Can i use this one ( Pioneer AVH-210EX in-Dash 2-DIN 6.2" Touchscreen DVD Receiver with Bluetooth with Aux Cable Included) ?
Yes
I have a 2003 Acura MDX and installed a Pioneer deck, I have power but absolutely no sound. How do I fix this?
If it recently stopped working, I would look for the amplifier fuse. If you just installed it, I would make sure the blue remote turn on wire is hooked up from the pioneer radio to the wiring harness that plugs into the car.
Hi does this work on the 2002, with the wood grain radio covers?
I would think so.
Would this work on 99-03 (2nd gen) tl with the Bose system it has the sub in the rear deck
I don't know for sure. You may want to check out forums for that answer
Was this done on a base model because I read that if I change my mdx touring I could lose usage of my rear entertainment and wheel volume controls
I am guessing. I do know that if you do this on a model with rear seat entertainment,it will not retain that feature. For the steering wheel controls, you can buy the module to make them work.
thanks for your excellent contributions, one question RCA connects you to the amplifier option that the new screen brings
The wiring harness that I bought can be used with an aftermarket radio that has 4 channel RCA's. If it doesn't, then you can cut them off and wire them like speaker wires. I hope that helps
@@DCAutoEnhancement I will buy the harness that you used on my 2004 acura mdx but it has 8 speakers as it is called the input where there is RCA
@@Ruiz1609 that harness should work for your 8 speaker system
Will this work for if you want to change your radio to a Alpine - 7" - Android Auto/Apple® CarPlay™ - Built-in Bluetooth - In-Dash Digital Media Receiver - Black
Yes installation should be the same as long as it is a double din size. Thank you for watching!
Will my 7 inch double d in fit that dash kit? I have a 2002 Acura mdx.
Yes that dash kit is for a double din
Do you retain the ability to use climate controls? Also what other stereo units would be compatible if you want to have USB and aux capability in the head unit?
On the 2004 yes, you can retain the climate controls. I have heard of newer (2006) having issues with the touch screen. There is a fix for that though. I just haven't done it, you may be able to find into in the comments. Basically any double din unit with six and USB that you like well work as a substitute for the unit I used.
@@DCAutoEnhancement Thank you! I also the same would be true for the 2003?
I would assume that 2002-2004 would be covered by this video
I did my 2005 mdx today everything working fine except no touch on navigation screen. This means top factory screen become useless.
Any suggest? By the way the navigation unit has only one connector back there.. Please help if possible.
To be honest, I didn't try that after the install that I posted. If it was previously touch screen, I would think it still would be. Sorry that I can't help beyond that.
I have the same issue with my 05 mdx! How did you fix it??

@@devareobrown4049 crutchfield recommended not changing this radio. It’s not meant to be changed out unless you don’t care about everything else
In my 2006 acura MDX, I managed to put the factory radio underneath where the DVD player and ash tray are. Everything works perfectly. even the headrest screen
I have a 04, I want to replace just my stereo system. Will this himder.my subwoofer in back. I do not have the DVD player or anything. Also any ideas how to get navigation system to work. Radio has started not coming on for a few minutes and then glitches (why I want to upgrade) and navigation system just stopped turning on
Have not replaced anything yet.
This process will work for your 2004 as it pertains to the radio. The navigation may be something as simple as a blown fuse or as bad as the unit not functioning any more. The sub still works if I remember correctly.
Which of the 4 harness do you connect?
The two upper ones. The lower gray ones aren't used
Pls where can I purchase navigation unit for my recently purchased 2005 MDX ACURA. I live in Nigeria.
If you are looking for factory navigation the only place that I can think of is maybe eBay?
MDX 05 nav/tour Do you lose the functionality of the rear DVD player for passengers? Does the rear aux in still work? XM? Local FM stations? Can this do navigation? Basically I don't want to lose my original functions just to be able to Bluetooth sink to this. I wish you would have went through the features more so I'll know if it's worth it. Good video minus the head bumping the cam.
The rear seat entertainment will be non functional if you do the install the way I did. You could do some research to see if you can retain the "RSE". If you want XM radio, make sure your aftermarket unit has it. Local FM should be standard on the aftermarket unit. I do know that there is an option to retain your steering wheel controls. Rear aux isn't used with this install however, your aftermarket unit might have an aux in that you could run to the back for the rear aux.
Thx
Looks like they upgraded for the Bluetooth function. The Bose stereo is actually excellent as it is. Just add a Bluetooth adapter to the Auxiliary input on the back of the factory radio and use the aux button on the radio so you can listen to your phone and everything else rear DVD functions on the steering wheel hands-free link will all still work. Is the factory Bose amplifier still being used with this Pioneer head unit? If so my recommendation for just an auxiliary Bluetooth adapter would be the easiest way
In my 2006 acura MDX, I managed to put the factory radio underneath where the DVD player and ash tray are. Everything works perfectly. even the headrest screen
I have a similar car ( 2006 ) and almost the same pioneer screen. I want to know if I can replace the top screen with it, do you know if i can do that? I dont mind doing it myself, just cant find answers to this lol
The 2006 is actually much harder to change the radio if you are keeping that factory touch screen. From what I have seen in this comment section, the heater controls are integrated into to it and you have to do a modification to make the touch screen work. I don't know if that answers your question or not. I believe if you put enough energy and thought into something you can achieve it.
I installed mine the same way you did but I lost the navigation after. I found others splicing the blue antenna wire with the red acc which gave me sound but lost the nav. You didn't show where the blue wire connected to. Ive seen others say you have to add a resistor to get nav back but I didn't see you do that. Can you fill me in on the step you glossed over with the blue power antenna wire please
@DC Auto Enhancement
The only thing that I would have hooked the blue wire up to from the radio would have been the blue wire on the harness to the car. But technically it would have been the blue wire with a white stripe. What year is your mdx? I can look into it further. I just installed the radio as I would any other stereo and didn't have any issues.

The harness that I linked to is the one that I used. You can verify by going to metraonline.com and input your vehicle information in the application guide.
@@DCAutoEnhancement Awesome! Thank you!
Were you still able to control the air conditioner and heat
Yes, if you have a 2005 or newer, I understand it needs a resistor between two wires. I believe somewhere in the comments is a link to a right up on it.
Does it work with cell phones calling?
Yes, the aftermarket radio has handsfree calling.
Great video but my navigation isn’t working now
I'm assuming you have a 2005 or 2006
Would this be the same as the Honda MDX ? Here In Australia this is what I have and looks very similar, thanks

Hi, I recently installed a new deck like you did and everything turns on but no sound? any idea on why this is?
There is a blue wire with a white stripe that comes frome the new radio and it needs to be hooked up to the blue and blue white stripe wire on the harness that plugs into the car. It is possible that the harness only has a blue wire, if that's the case you hook that wire up to the blue/white wire from the radio. Usually that is the reason for no sound. There could be a blown fuse for the factory amplifier if you have those wires hooked up with no sound. I hope this was helpful.

Will this work on a Mdx 06 ???
There is some extra work required to retain the touch screen from what people have said in the comments. I will put a link to an article describing what to do. www.mdxers.org/threads/2006-mdx-replace-radio-and-still-have-navigation-work.171454/
@@DCAutoEnhancement Thank you
I got a cuestión I know the original stereo is loud on mdx 2005 .my cuestión is when you change the stereo is it still the same loud?plz if somebody can help🙏
Probably louder. The aftermarket radio has more power out than the factory radio.
@@DCAutoEnhancement thank you so much . You know what size stereo fits on this 10 inch or 7 inch?plz🙏
@@hectorsanchez2146 most likely the 7 inch double din week be the easiest install
@@DCAutoEnhancement thanks again 🙏
@@hectorsanchez2146 no problem sir!
With this install did you the steering wheel controls still work? Thanks
The one I installed the stereo in didn't have steering wheel controls or the customer didn't want them. They make a wiring harness with the steering wheel controls built in.
@@DCAutoEnhancement do you know the model number
@@prostyleproductions AXXESS AXSWC
I need that tool??
Which tool are you talking about?
@@DCAutoEnhancement the one you use to take off the panel around the stereo
@@markadams5823 here is a link to a decent set. www.harborfreight.com/trim-and-molding-tool-set-5-pc-64126.html
I would have used the factory brackets ...
What about the amp wire
The factory amp gets it's turn on signal through the aftermarket wrong harness as long as the amp turn on wire from the harness is connected to the amp turn on wire from the aftermarket radio
@@DCAutoEnhancement thanks it worked out the ant wire only gets power when the radio on so I had to wire it up to the red wire from the aftermarket harness now I had to use rca to split the speakers my radio didn't come with all ports I needed but now I got the noise when I hit the gas
@@Carlos-un5eo I would run a new ground wire to the radio and use line level converters to make the speaker wires into rcas. The speaker outputs are a higher power output than rcas making it more likely to have noise
@@DCAutoEnhancement thanks again I ended up running a separate ground wire to the RCA wires I stripped enough to wrap around the exposed metal when connected taped it and now everything working like it should. Thanks for taking the time to reply
No problem, I'm glad you got it taken care of
Hey, hoping you have a suggestion or 2 that will help me out. I have the Metra harness with the 4 RCA's. I installed the head unit (cheap android) and all colors for the ACC, , B+, GND, Illum, & P.CNTR (blue/white wire) from the head unit harness are matched up to the Metra harness. But the sound is like when you have a negative and positive touching and is really, really low at full volume. I have a sub woofer and I'm sure there's an amp somewhere in there. Do I need a line output converter? If so, do I need a 4 channel one? Have 4 speakers in the front (2x mids L&R / 2x tweeters L&R), 2 in the back and the sub.
The first thing I would do is in plug the RCA's turn on the radio and make sure it's a a low volume and slowly insert the RCA's one at a time. Sometimes, if only the pin part of the rca is in and it sounds normal but you plug in the rest of the way in it sounds terrible, then you have a grounding issue with the RCAs most likely on the head unit side.
@@DCAutoEnhancement Thanks, I did that but there is no sound when just the pin is plugged in part way and sound (terrible, low sound) when it's all the way in. What else could it be?
@@sonofsam7176 what model is the android unit? And is it going into a factory audio system for an Acura MDX?
@@DCAutoEnhancement It's this one...www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08K44M1S5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's replacing the factory radio. There is an amp and sub woofer that I'd like to keep. It's a 2003 Acura MDX and I'm using the harness that has the 4 RCA's which connect to the back of the Android unit.
@@sonofsam7176 do you have factory navigation? Did you see BOSE anywhere on the radio or speaker grills?
What about climate control? Does the radio offer it
No, that is still done through the factory climate controls
