Odyssey RB3 / MY13 (NAV) stereo wiring

The MY13 now comes with DVD/NAV/Bluetooth as standard, and it's a bit different from previous years' models.

There's quite a bit going on in the back of here, so I'll post updates as I discover the mysteries within.

The main stereo loom (Connector "A"), whilst similar to previous models, is slightly different from anything I could find on the net:

Pin Colour Function
A1. Empty
A2. Empty
A3. Empty
A4. Green. Secuity System
A5. Purple. Steering Wheel Control Common
A6. Brown. Speaker (-) Right Rear
A7. Yellow. Speaker (+) Right Rear
A8. Empty
A9. Empty
A10. Pink. Speaker (-) Left Rear
A11. Blue. Speaker (+) Left Rear
A12. Brown. Ground

A13. Grey. Illumination
A14. Purple. Accessory
A15. Yellow. Vehicle Speed (1 Pulse = approx. 400m)
A16. Pink. Steering Wheel Control (stereo) input - see table below for resistances
A17. Empty
A18. Green. Speaker (-) Right Front (Mid and Tweeter in parallel)
A19. Red. Speaker (+) Right Front (Mid and Tweeter in parallel)
A20. Empty
A21. Empty
A22. Orange. Speaker (-) Left Front (Mid and Tweeter in parallel)
A23. White. Speaker (+) Left Front (Mid and Tweeter in parallel)
A24. Yellow. Backup Power

This drawing of the plug connector came from somewhere else on here, but the numbers are back-to-front from the Honda service manuals:

Now I did a Drawing of the connectors, and the functions/Connection to the vehicle loom(s).

I found out the connector "B" is for the Parking Brake and Reverse Signals.

Pin Colour Function
B1. Empty
B2. Red. Reverse selected, +12V = reverse, GND = other
B3. Pink. Parking Brake, GND = Park brake on, open = off

Got some good info from the local Honda dealer today.

The Resistances for the stereo controls in the steering wheel are between A5 (Purple) and A16 (Pink):

All Off = 10k ohm
Vol down = 100 ohm
Vol Up = 370 ohm
CH (-) = 840 ohm
CH(+) = 2.04k ohm
MODE = 3.94k ohm

The connector E is for the telephone buttons, Purple is common, Green is Signal.
Don't get confused with the purple and green in the main A plug.

E1. Empty
E2. Purple. Steering Wheel Phone Button Common (Connected to Purple A5 in Loom)
E3. Green. Steering Wheel Phone Button Signal.
E4. to E12. Empty

The resistances for the phone buttons are:

All off = 10k Ohms
Hang Up = 47 Ohms
Pick Up = 227 Ohms

Next is the Camera Connector "C"
The original wiring is a bit different from the manual, so I'll go with the colours being correct.

C1. Green. Camera Power 5V
C2. Red. Camera Ground
C3. Empty
C4. White. Video Ground
C5. Black. Video Composite Signal
C6. Grey. Screen
C7. Yellow. "ADPT" - camera enable (still need to figure this one out.

The pin assignments for the Green AUX input connector are:

1. Option enable (short to pin 2)
2. Option common
3. Right Channel input
4. Audio Ground
5. Left Channel Input

This cable is available on ebay for a few bucks, or from Metra Online

I was wondering if it was possible for you to tell me who the manufacturer and the part number of the DVD/Satnav unit is. Any info at all would be appreciated.

I bought a 2013 odyssey stereo from a wreaker and trying to fix in to a 2010 Honda odyssey lux car. The main connector worked with no issues and stereo got powered and could play audio with no issues. But the antenna was deferent..do you know how to get the 2010 odyssey antenna connected to 2013 antenna ?

The unit is the same one you posted the diagrams. I could not find how to install the camera. My 2010 Honda odussey came with the main connector antenna and the steering wheel control connector. As its 2010 odyssey did not have the other wire connectors on it.

Are you able to help me please..? I badly need the camera working because this car is too big for my wife :(.
