- In this video, I install a Pioneer MVH-AV290BT touchscreen radio.
This head unit features bluetooth streaming, audio and video playback from iPhone, USB, iPod, and handsfree phone connectivity.
The car is a 2006 Honda Civic EX model with premium audio. I bypassed the factory amp, and installed new speakers in the door and the rear deck.
Here are the wire color code, just in case:

Man that ice cream truck music in the back really took me back to when I was a kid living in the US, wish I could live there again.
You posted this quite a while ago but just wanted to say THANK YOU! Fantastic job explaining everything. The factory amp bypass was a real pain trying to find out what goes where. Your video helped me save over $300 in install fees!
do u have to put in a amp if u bypass the factory amp
Where did you get your bypass harness for that ?
@@Grenplen and from what I understand if you bypass your amp, since your no longer using it, your new head unit will supply the necessary voltage for your speakers.
Be careful he forgets to mention the removal of two screws when removing the central panel. You could damage stuff trying to get the panel out. Follow the crutchfield instructions instead
He is correct. I had removed them previously, and left them out.
Also don’t forget to disconnect battery before removing airbag sensor
Cliff...you are the man for this video, thanks so much!
This was absolutely what I was looking for an example of.
If you wish to retain your factory subwoofer using the amp bypass harness, simply connect the pos/neg sub wires to a RCA jack and then plug the RCA jack into your stereo. Very simple to do and you get to keep your subwoofer (although it's kind of crappy) as having a bad sub is better than no sub IMO.
I did the RCA method in my Si and for some reason I get a crackle/pop sound through the speakers when I lock and unlock the doors. It did work to remove the annoying static sound and the loud volume issue though, any suggestions? I'm thinking its because the new head unit isn't compatible with the factory amp, I might consider actually bypassing the amp and installing an aftermarket one but then i'd also have to upgrade the speakers UGHH its becoming a rabbit hole..
You literally saved my fucking life I just got an 09 civic SI and I couldn't figure how to get all this shit wired damn near made me want my 98 mustang back you might've saved a hondas life with this video
Once you understand what the harnesses are for and why you need them it is very simple to do and understand. You are avoiding powering the aftermarket amp with the power of the factory amp. Also you can take the sub pos/neg wires and connect them to an RCA jack to keep your factory subwoofer.
Wish I had this video when I did this about a month ago, but in single din format for a 80 PRS from Pioneer. The only problem I faced that you didn't in the video was the ac controls on my dash kit were getting stuck when I had them in, so after playing with it for a while found that using washers to list the screws closest to the radio fixed my problem.
Had the same issue so I just took a knife and scrapped plastic from the bottom climate control hole until the buttons no longer got stuck when pressing them. The climate control hole is too small but shaving plastic away to make the hole larger works as well. You are just shaving plastic away from the inside housing so nothing is noticeable once the climate controls are installed.
Thanks for this video. I installed a Sony XAV-AX5000 and used the factory amp and it's been a nightmare. Bypassing this weekend and enjoying better sound!
Best bypass video
Did you have any static when playing the radio, CD, aux, or bluetooth? I've got noise across all and I have to turn it up pretty loud to drown the noise out.
Nope. Sounds like a bad ground.
@@CliffsHowTo I didnt have this issue with the stock radio and since I swapped the new Double Din radio in, it sounds noisy. I didnt mess with any grounds. Could bypassing the stock amp eliminate this?
@49TAndrew the amp bypass harness worked!!! No more issues. Thanks for the reply.
I have the same issue I’m just gonna by pass my factory amp so I can upgrade it later on Bc I put 30 watt rms crunch speakers in the front doors and two way 30 rms watt kenwood a in the back
nice civic pioneer bluetooth stereo
I have a honda civic SI 2007 4dr if anyone know where the factory amplifer thank you
I’m not 100% on this, but probably in the same place.
It would be in the same spot I have a 2009 Honda Civic Ex and it’s In the same spot I did exactly what this guy did Bc my factory amp is sending feedback through my pioneer head unit so I’m bypassing it completely Bc I have a separate amp for my sub and the factory sub isn’t worth keeping it’s just a mid level sub no bass comes out at all
From 2006 to 2009 Si and ex models are the same
Super late reply, but for anyone reading this, the factory amp in a sedan is under the driver's seat. It's under a black plastic cover
Hello, I have a factory amp and I’m a bit confuse on to where is the amp turn on wire goes too. Your video explain everything Barnie style which is awesome of you except for that one part. also, my amp is located underneath the passenger seat so it’ll be great if you can point to the direction on to where is the amp turn on wire. Thank you
And if I by pass my amplifier this mean The subwoofer won’t be working ???
Correct. My factory amp was bad, so that was the point of this install, to bypass that amp, and use all aftermarket stuff.
So if I want to use my factory amp I don’t need the amp bypass harness ? What harness I need ?
Can you do a video about wiring for the amp bypass and why its needed? I can do the stereo install and mounting kit drunk and blindfolded, but I would like to know more about the AMP bypass and how to do that.
Same situation
@@diegolozano6836 Can anyone help or point us in the right direction? UA-cam Vid, or Civic forum?
Richie Shnaks the amp bypass is if you don’t want to use the factory amp and have an aftermarket amp setup, or it’s for when your factory amp doesn’t work anymore and you don’t want to install a new amo
@@robfassi3297 Soo to make sure we are on the same page, I dont care about you are saying If I just do it normally ( dont bypass amp), the interior speakers will be powered by the factory amp even if I use an aftermarket headunit?
I am planning on installing a 12" subwoofer with its own amp, which is completely different.
Richie Shnaks if you want to have an aftermarket head unit with the factory amp powering the speakers you need a scoshe HA13B harness that integrates the factory amp it works good I have it in my civic and yes you can totally run a separate amp for a subwoofer I did the same thing I have a aftermarket radio with factory amp and factory speakers and then a aftermarket amp in the trunk running a sub
Thanks for a great video.
After doing the amp bypass, will i be able to hook up a separate amp and subwoofer to my civic afterwards? Or will I need the idata piece to do that?
Aftermarket amp of course
As long as your radio has amp outputs on the back, you’re good. Even if it doesn’t, they make adapters you can put on the speaker wires to grab a signal.
So yes.
Hey I had just replace my stock stereo on my 06 civic with a double dum head unit and installed a sub woofer the head unit and sub powered up right just when I went to start the car it didn’t wanna start it turns over but doesn’t wanna start car ran perfectly fine before the install and we tried to jump start it but it didn’t wanna start still any suggestion ?
Check the fuse for your power wire connecting to your amp you could have shorted out your battery
Your power wire should’ve came with a fuse box to connect to
You are the first person I have seen do a video on the 8th gen with Premium Audio. Where you able to keep the factory sub working? If so, do you have a video on that part of the install too?
The way this is setup, the factory sub is disconnected.
In order to retain the factory sub you need to splice into the wire for it
Does anyone know what wire is for that sub
I just got done with this and realized my sub isnt working
@@thomasbradley5419 It's best to connect the sub pos/neg wires to an RCA jack and then connect the RCA jack to your stereo. The reason to do it this way is so you can control your sub in your stereo's settings menu.
Can never find videos on showing how to hook the new radio into the dash kit
you said the blue wire from the radio harness goes with the amp turn on wire ? I have everything connected but those two wires. There’s still no sound. Just confirming are those two suppose to be connected together?
yup
Yee
Good video, thanks!
Great video!
I want to ask about your honest experience after the progress you did. Was there any downgrade quality of the factory speakers?
I didn’t hook the factory subwoofer back up, but added a JL audio 10”. So the sound got better!
Without the JL subwoofer, it would have obviously had less bass though.
@@CliffsHowTo You can connect the factory subwoofer's pos/neg wires to RCA jacks and power the factory sub that way.
I have aftermarket speakers plugged into the regular harness for the oem speakers. Do I still need the amp bypass?
You only need an amp bypass harness when installing an aftermarket stereo because the aftermarket stereo has an amp built in. You never want to amplify another amp because too much power gets sent to the speakers and makes them sound like crap.
Which colour of dash head unit bracket I have same car
I don’t remember exactly which color it was, sorry.
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??
Did you forget to plug them back in? If they’re plugged in, check the fuse.
Sooo i just installed my kenwood double din. I didnt use the amp bypass as i used the amp turn on(from deck harness) and wired it to the factory amp turn on wire (light blue/silver). Im having alot of feed back. Would that be because of not using the amp bypass?
I have no idea why you would have feedback. Feedback is when there is an input and output, and the input picks up signal coming out of the output...
So that makes no sense to me!
I figured something out. Just wired my speaker wires from the civic harness to rca’s no feedback and full control on my deck now
@@ericcirne3034 hey how did u wire the rca cables
Calvin : take an old set of rca’s separate the wires. Find which one is negative and whats positive. Then match negative and positive to speaker wire.
@@ericcirne3034 do i need 2 rca cables? where do i connect them to?
I have a boss one and once I hit factory reset my car started making a static noise how do I fix it
Cliff one question here? What kind of plug (connector) did you use to amplifier. When I unblock the larger harness i noticed that I need a female plug but in Your wideo i see the male plug which is at the end of you bypass. Please adive
It was an amp bypass harness. You would use that, if you want to eliminate the amp on the system.
Y funcionan los botones del volante?
I installed a pioneer and bought the civic installation kit seperate but there is no sound. Everything else works and is powered but no music. I think there was an extra plug but we figured we didnt need it since the kit didn’t come with another one. I think it is the amp bypass, is that the reason there is no sound? It is just a regular civic coupe 06’.
So Civics have different setups for audio. The 06-11 Civic DX (baseline model) has no factory amp, sub, or tweeters. The Civic EX and Civic Si models come with factory premium audio and 7 speakers (2 tweeters in the dash, 2 front door speakers, 2 rear speakers and 1 factory subwoofer). If your Civic has premium audio you need to bypass the factory amp because your aftermarket stereo has an amp built in. If you don't bypass the factory amp, your stereo amp will power your factory amp and cause too much power to the speakers and will make them sound like crap. You disconnect the speaker wires from your factory amp and connect the factory amp speaker wires harness to the aftermarket amp bypass harness. The harness to power your stereo connects to the factory harness from your factory stereo. You will have an unused harness that used to connect to your factory stereo which is the steering wheel control harness. You can buy the Axcess ASWC-1 module to retain steering wheel controls.
Hey great video I was wondering if you could help me run new Tweeter wire to my head unit or should I just leave the factory one I'm adding new tweeters
Factory or aftermarket radio? The aftermarket harnesses don’t run any wiring up to the tweeters. Therefore, you’d have to wire them in.
You could use the factory wiring, splice them into the front speaker wires, and add bass blockers.
@@CliffsHowTo I ran new wire, worked well. Now I have to figure out how to get my door speaker wire through the door boot argh
By bypassing the amp can you still use the tweeters and factory subwoofer or do you need to get another amp?
The tweeters you can get high pass filters and run speaker signal to them. The factory subwoofer needs amp power.
The aftermarket stereo doesn't have wires for you to wire the factory tweeters and sub. You should get aftermarket speakers for your car anyway and most speakers have tweeters built in if they are 2 way or 3 way speakers. The way to fix no factory subwoofer problem is to take the subwoofer pos/neg wires and connect them to an RCA jack and then plug the RCA jack into your stereo. The aftermarket amp bypass harness has wires for all 7 speakers so it's very easy to do.
Thanks men
Alright. So I have a 2007 civic si. Installed Pioneer AVH 14400nex headunit and pioneer GM D9605 amp. I have RCAs running from amp to headunit. I ran speaker wires going into the wireharness from amp. Everything powers on but no sound.
Amp may be bad. That’s why I bypassed it in my install.
Khuong, you still need to bypass the factory amp as Cliff did. The wiring harness behind the stereo is coming from the factory amp still.
If I'm just changing my stock head unit for a double din do I really need to bypass my amp
You don’t have to. Mine was bad, that’s why I bypassed it.
@@CliffsHowTo thanks what would be the purpose of bypassing it though ?
If it doesn’t work, you wouldn’t get any sound... that’s what happened to me. All rear speakers stopped working.
Changed the head unit and bypassed the amp, and boom! Speakers worked again! (Aside form the sub)
Erick Rivas I get feedback through my factory amp due to my double din head unit having pre amp built into it so the voltage is too high so I just cut the factory amp out and bypassed to control everything on my head unit
Am I required to have the antenna adapter ?
You won’t be able to plug in the antenna, and therefore won’t be able to pick up any radio stations...
But if you don’t care about that, then no, you don’t have to.
When you wired up your amp turn on wire do I just wire like I normally would with the aftermarket radio harness with the aftermarket harness or just to the radio and the bypass harness? Please let me know ASAP my factory amp sends feedback to my speakers so I’m just gonna bypass it I just need to know that one detail
I don’t remember... sorry
Cliff's How To Channel oh it’s all good man I called custom car stereo and they said to wire the three blue wires I had previously spliced together I just keep getting feedback from my factory amp causing white noise throughout my speakers lol thanks though man this video helped me locate it and how to wire the bypass harness
So you don't have to unscrew the dash ? and remove screws at the bottom of the radio like the other videos ?
I don’t remember having to do that, but I know I had taken the radio out before, and may have taken them out and not put them back...
does the car have it's on atenna wire?
Is the reason for the amp bypass is to get rid of the static sound in the speakers? Cause that's the issue I'm currently dealing with in my 09 Honda Civic with a built in factory amplifier. But when I power off my radio the sound goes away
No. The reason for the amp bypass harness, is to bypass the factory amp.
I’d check first for loose connections.
I'm doing a new amp new head unit new subwoofer do I need the amp bypass or not?
New factory amp or aftermarket?
I have an aftermarket amp. Will it work to tap into the speaker wires from the original factory amp harness?
Khuong Hoang may get feedback possibly due to your head unit having a pre built amp in it
Hi Can u told
Me very basicly how plug the bypass for camera when i run the car sorry im french I got a 2010 Si already whit aftermarket radio and plug and play adaptator
You can probably find very specific wiring for that by searching the internet.
Do you know what wife is the amp wire in a 12’ CR- V? Installed an android head unit and I have no sound
No idea
what did you connect the amp turn on wire to?
Nothing at first, now it’s connected to an amp.
You just connect the amp turn on wire to the blue wire for your aftermarket head unit harness as well as the the aftermarket harness that plugs into the factory harness
If I could upload a pick I would you should have two blue wires that you splice with the amp turn on
Hey quick question. I have a civic si and I think I have the premium sound system, so that means I have 7 outputs, 2 tweeters, two front, two rear, and one sub. If I by pass the amp don't I lose three channels?
All that will work after are the two door and two rear deck speakers. So you lose the woofer and tweeters.
You can get bass blockers and rewire in the tweeters if you want.
@@CliffsHowTo Thank you for clearly stating that. I have been holding of on doing the bypass because I have gotten spoiled by the factory setup and if I make any changes I want it to keep all the stock speakers
I have the opposite issue. Lost rear sound but tweets and fronts remain
@@LoudGuitar14 The iDatalink RR Maestro unit will keep all your factory settings so you don't have to bypass the amp. It's easier and cheaper to bypass the factory amp and wire the factory sub pos/neg wires to an RCA jack and plug the RCA jack into the stereo. You can also splice the tweeter wires into your front speak wires if you want, but you should install aftermarket 2 way or 3 way speakers into your Civic that include tweeters on all 4 speakers. Makes the crap factory tweeters pointless.
Wich one is the remote?
Thanks! Which dash kit did you go with? e.g., OEM, Scosche, Metra?
Metra I believe
my honda civic ex 2007 does not come with a factory amplifier. i’ve hooked up my harness and everything, the aftermarket stereo comes on, but does not play sound. any solution?
In my video, this harness is used to bypass the factory amp. Check your wiring.
im daunte a 2007 civic EX does have a factory amp, you need to tap into the amp turn on wire for you to get sound
How do you bypass the ebrake wire for watching videos? Im Installing my radio this weekend
There is a bypass module that plugs in. Google search the model of the radio + bypass module or parking brake bypass
@@CliffsHowTo also i have a civic ex, im Installing the stereo now the stereo works but no audio. Is it because the amp isnt getting turned on? Do i have to get this amp bypass?
If the amp works, use it. If it’s broken, as mine was, bypass it.
If the amp is not turning on, find a diagram for the radio plug in the car, and run that to the blue amp turn on wire on the new radio. That should make it turn on with the radio.
@@CliffsHowTo i found the amp turnon wire, is it ok to wire it into ignotion? Or do i have to use the blue wire? Im still waiting for my antenna adapter aswell
It’s the blue wire on the plug that is coming out of your new radio that is the remote wire to turn the amp on.
Any tricks on how to get rid of the glare so can actually see the screen??
I could see mine just fine. It also had a matte finish on the screen, not a glassy finish.
Don't use the Metra dash kit, use the Scoche dash kit. The Scoche kit won't give you that problem and it's better quality.
@@michaelhuebner6843 thanks but it’s too late now unfortunately lol the place that installed it for me is the place that bought the kit. Now I’m about to sell the car soon
can you still use the controls for volume and changing the station from the stealing wheel ?
You have to install a module to be able to
@@CliffsHowTo more info please?
Mr. Anonymous pac swi rc
Does the steering wheel bottoms still work and can that stock sub plug right into the back of the new unit?
No and no. If you keep the factory amp in place, I think the sub will still work. However, I bypassed the factory amp. So in my case, it does not work.
You need an extra control module to make the steering wheel controls work. They are about $40-50.
@@CliffsHowTo That said, did you just bypass the factory amp, or did you remove it completely? I didn't see it in the video, but I wasn't sure.
Kaleb Johnson either or you can cut out the factory amp completely or leave it the bypass harness plugs into the output plug in for the factory amp thus canceling out the amp itself
Where did u get the harness wires plugs?
Hi! I was wondering if I can get Apple car play on this?
I don’t think so
Hi Cliff, after stereo replacement, have you replaced battery? How do you enter the radio code?
You don’t need a code for an aftermarket radio.
radio code for oem head unit should be in owner's manual
What wire harness did you use?? Got a part number
Don’t want to give out part numbers, as there are multiple given the year, and even what type of radio was originally in the car.
Got 06 civic lx....just trying to wire up double din pioneer and having issues finding the right harness...come across your video and looks like what I need
Did you have any issues getting the rear speakers to turn on? I've bypassed the amp and I can only get the front speakers and the sub to work.
I would double check the wiring because I don’t think the sub would work if you bypassed the amp.
Did you get the volume controls on the steering wheel to work
You have to wire in a separate module for that. It’s about $45 I think. I didn’t do that.
ua-cam.com/video/GyMCJj0favA/v-deo.html you need steering wheel control adapter, i show you how to install it in this video
I'm surprised so many people ignore the steering wheel buttons when doing a radio install. It's definitely a must have feature for most users.
Any security issues?
Nope
What is the video bypass color wire
This unit is not like the older ones where you could just bypass it. You need a little module. They are cheap. I bought mine on amazon.
Hi! How many inches is the radio?
I don’t remember the exact screen size
Which color wire is the 12vacc
I do not remember, but you can google it!
The buttons on the wheel still working ?
Nope. You need a separate module for that functionality.
It’s about $45
civic si radio pioneer stereo usb ok
I have a 2008 civic. I’m upgrading my factory navigation head unit. Do I need the amp bypass? Or will it still work without it?
Depends on the head unit if the head unit has a pre amp built in you might as well bypass the factory amp due to causing a hiss noise when you play music
What did you do with the old radio? Because that's the model i need and i cannot find it anywhere for under $100.00 lmao
It’s sitting in my garage!!! I’ll sell it to you if you want. I have the radio unlock code as well. Send me a private message.
Hey my aux is not working :(
After installing an aftermarket radio? It wouldn’t. You’d have to add a new auxiliary input for that radio.
How can i get a new head unit? Or dash kit?
I got it on amazon
hello , just a quick q
i have 2010 civic exl , with premium audio but radio is dead . no sound no display.
can i install oem radio from another civic but without premium audio ???
will it work if i just plug and play ???
I’m sure you can, but it would not be plug and play. You would have to bypass the factory amp just like installing an aftermarket.
You would also need the radio pin for the new radio.
In my opinion, I would just install an after market.
What face plate for it did you get?
I believe it was metra brand
