If you bye one (save the recept so you can take it back) just hold it up how it goes and refrence the speaker inputs on it to see what color they conect to on our factory harness. |

Silver Member Username: JeremycKunsan AfbSouth Korea Post Number: 386 Registered: Jun-04 | why not mount the radio some where else? As for the steering wheel controls they make an adapter for that too. Oh and my Accord is worse, dual climat controls, built in to the radio. So I am mounting it in the pocket down below. |
