Hi everyone.

Does anyone know which wire here does what?

I'm about to pop my Clarion head unit into my Odyssey Lux (2010 model).

I need main 12V, Acc, Earth, and the illumination (dimmer for when the head lights are on) wires.

And because the aerial wire in the car is different to the older style coaxial plug, does anyone know which wire is which for the radio aerial (shield and inner signal wire)?

Thanks for the help guys.

Not offhand, but unless anyone else chimes in with a diagram, a test light will tell you in 5 mins. Hook it to the door striker or anywhere on the chassis, once you've found 12v constant, you can use that to find ground.

[Winno]

Thanks. All good. I'm sure I could work it out that way.

What about the aerial though?
Which wire does what?

Cheers

You could get something like this to save you from cutting up your old one.

If your set on cutting it, it should be a coax cable(unless new cars use something different) so inner most wire is signal then outer is shielding, also appears your power anntenna wire is in this plug/cable so that may need to be connected to the new harness.

I need main 12V, Acc, Earth, and the illumination (dimmer for when the head lights are on) wires.13 yellow is power, 1 brown is earth, 23 purple is Acc, 24 grey is illumination.

Philip, once again you have proved your worth!

Thanks very much.

And tbM, I was just going to fit a standard coaxial plug.
I'll get one of those adaptors though and use that instead.
I think the blue wire will be unused though because the Odyssey has no electric antenna (its laminated to the rear window instead).

Cheers for your help too.

No worries, The power annetna wire can also be used to power a signal booster in some cars so even if you dont have a motorised antenna it is still sometimes needed to power the booster, if you find your not getting good reception that may be the cause so i would try connecting it in that case.

Do you know where the blue wire is supposed to be connected to?
The head unit somewhere?
Some other wire in the car somewhere?
Does it just carry 12V?

Most cars I've ever worked with have the aerial plug wired straight to the aerial.

Cheers.

[Winno]

Ok, the blue wire carries a 12V signal from the head unit to the antenna booster (hidden somewhere in the car), so that when the radio is on, the booster switches on.
I just have to connect it to the matching blue antenna power lead coming out of the back of my Clarion head unit.

Can't wait to show you guys what I'm doing...
The A pillars are out and in the process of being fibreglassed for some speakers,
The doors are being sound deadened and sealed and some custom speaker spacers made,
I took the seats and carpet out a week or so ago and did a re-wire for all the amps,
I'm having a custom stereo facia made,
A sub is going under the tray between the front seats,
etc, etc.

Thanks guys.

I look forward to seeing pics, sounds like its going to be a decent install are you doing it all yourself or gettin a shop to do some of it?

[Winno]

Doing it all myself.

Nice one, DIY = wynning. So much more satisfying knowing you did it yourself :)

Chuck some pics up when your done, would like too see how it turns out. Hope it goes well for you.

That it is... Gives you a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside when you get in and listen to it, when you installed it :D

And +1 on pics

I did start a new thread on the topic which has already been discussed (2009 RB3 Honda Odyssey Radio / Stereo Installation) which I have moved to continue over onto this thread.

Thanks TbM. The aerial on the vehicle is a glass mount one, no physical aerial to the external of the vehicle. if fitting an alternative head unit (i.e. xtrons TD696G) does the blue wire need to be connected to anything. I did read that it may get connected to the power amp (blue lead) of the aftermarket head unit. Do you know if this is correct.
If anyone has any details on what the terminals are for it would be appreciated.

Also, do the steering wheel controls still work after fitting an aftermarket head unit?
Does anyone know what wires and terminals are for the steering wheel controls and there function?

[Winno]

The steering wheel controls will need an interface device such as one from PAC.
Because I have a Clarion HX-D2 going into the car and because nothing on the market is compatable with it, I have to use the PAC-SWI which connected to the wheel controls and a small infra-red emmiter (same as in the IR remote control) to send the request to the head unit.
This will be mounted in my middle mounted ceiling light console to fire at the head unit.

Depending on your head unit though, PAC (and possibly other brands) may have a unit that is simply plug and play.

I've yet to buy my paint, etc to finish the trim I've had made before posting up more pics.

Hi,

I have attached so far what the wiring is for the radio / stereo connector to suit the 2009 Honda Odyssey Luxury RB3. There are four wires I am not sure what they are. Can I get some help if someone knows what they are?

Pin no.8 - Purple wire
Pin no.12 - Brown wire
Pin no.21 - Pink wire
Pin no.22 - Yellow wire

I think at least two of the wires are for the steering wheel controls. These are the ones I am most interested in.

The unit I have purchased to go into the vehicle has three steering wheel control wires. 1 for ground and 2 for signal.

I'm starting my own install as well, but I'm taking the easy way out and buying an adaptor harness...so I don't have to cut/splice/solder anything..

HI Winno,
Need a bit help how to pull the center dash off without do any damage to get to the two screws so the whole radio unit will come off( i got the top section off) Don't want to break anything.
Thank you in advance

Hi guys.
I too need some assistance finding the audio control wire from the steering wheel controls. My IR adaptor (Pac SWI-X) says there's one wire besides the acc and earth but it doesn't tell me which one it is for my car.

Any ideas?

Philip's help on the illumination and acc, etc was spot on so I'm hoping to get this last little assistance from someone here if possible.

Cheers.

P.s. if9888, sorry for not replying sooner. Let me know if you still need help.

[TbM]

should be the small pink wire which corresponds to pin 21 in the diagram philip posted.

id double check with an ohm meter.


ive noticed the pac site doesnt have installation guides for odys above 2009, honda often uses the same connetor over multiple models so if you look at an accord ect from around 2010 they should use the same connector and you should be able to get wiring info from that. ie http://archive.pac-audio.com/swixprogramming/showstepbystep.asp?InterfaceChecked=1&RadioGroupPioneer=0&mmSearch=Honda&Submit2=+Search+Vehicles&ID=414

[Winno]

Thanks TbM.
Might have a crack at that.
The PAC site doesn't list the JDM Ody at all as far as I know. Only the USD model.

[Winno]

Ok, got the volume, tuner station search, cd track search and skip all working, but not the mode button.

I'll have a play around tomorrow with a resistor setting and if it all works, I'll post up how it's all done.

It was surprisingly easy in the end.

[SQXPRT]

Hey Winno, what was the trick?

[sanook]

hi there ,
how did you take off the top part of rb3 ?

Hey Winno, what was the trick?

My tute, with pics, on installing the remote adaptor is here; http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=169908

[Winno]

hi there ,
how did you take off the top part of rb3 ?

The lid over the stereo lifts straight up and forward.
Push the lip of the lid at one corner straight up with your thumbs. It'll be very stiff but it will move up.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/28/ne7ada8y.jpg

After the corner has moved up over the lip of the facia trim, just move along the front of the lid pushing it up as you go. It gets easier as you move along.
Once the whole front of the lid is off, the whole lid can be pulled up and forward. Plastic clips hold it on along the sides and towards the front so just pull gently.
Lastly, unclip the light sensor cable right at the front of the lid and then the whole thing is free.

Getting the lower vent and A/C control panel off is a little harder and needs to also be done before you can remove the stereo assembly.

Pull the gear stick down to 1st gear and get your fingers in under the lip above the gear stick's park position and pull up quite hard. If you need to, use a strong and wide spatula or butter knife to leverage it up.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/28/tu9ebyga.jpg

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/28/tuqyjegy.jpg

Once it's free, unplug the plug in behind the A/C controls and the whole thing will come away.

You'll then be able to access all screws holding the stereo in place.
