What wire did you splice into for the 12+ volt wire on the LOC? I think it's the yellow one...
Hi mate,
I can't remember, and my trim is all in place at the moment so I can't look. But the wiring diagram for the CU2 with Premium Audio says that it is indeed a Yellow wire going into the Amp in the boot. I spliced into this wire to power both the SOEM4 and the Rockford Fosgate 360.2. There is plenty of headroom on the amplifier power supply to run a couple of extra low wattage items.
To be certain though I always check the factory wires using a Multi Meter before actually cutting into anything.
Has anyone done it to Euro with SatNav as it has an Amp in a boot area? If so what have you used? Any issues?
I believe that the 'Premium' audio system is the same in all three versions of the CU2, Base, Lux and Lux Nav. Only the head unit is a little different in the Navigation version. But for this overhaul I never touched anything in the dash. All output was derived from the Amplifier mounted in the boot, which as far as I can tell is the same in all three versions.
Hi JustRight,
Thank you for Sharing :-) I am thinking to upgrade mine too but I got few questions:
- where did you place the front tweeter? Does the tweeter for 165vr fits nicely without having to drill a hole on the door trim?
- where did you place the tweeter on the rear door?
- how to remove the parcel rack (the one close to the rear windscreen) in order to replace the speaker?
Thank you for your help:-)

Hi there mate,
The Focal tweeter fits exactly within the standard location on the front door trim where the factory tweeter sits. You need to run additional wiring as the Focal tweeter is powered from the Focal crossover. I found that it was possible to remove the plastic fitting for the factory tweeter from the trim. Once that was done the plastic mount that Focal provide is an exact fit in the hole left behind. Very convenient !!!
However the rear tweeters are a different story. To fit them I had to actually cut a hole in my rear door trim !!! With very careful use of a Dremel the pictures below show the result.
To get to the rear speakers it isn't necessary to remove the entire parcel shelf. The plastic grilles over the speakers will pop out. Use a thin broad bladed tool under the front edge of the speaker grille and lever upwards firmly. The front clips should release allowing you to remove the entire grille. You can kind of see what I mean in this picture taken through the rear window.
Removing the Sub-Woofer however is a much bigger problem. To do that you do need to remove the parcel shelf. That involves removing the 'C' pillar trims and the special air-bag retaining pins in the 'C' pillars. The best thing is to seach the Web for a copy of the CU2 Service Manual which contains detailed instructions and pictures. (That's what I did)
Just got the MY12 Lux Sat Nav, great car but as you know bad sound system, Im thinking of having all this done but does anyone know of a place in Sydney where I can get it done Professionaly?
i have a 2008 cu2 luxury navi and just wondering if you know what kind of sound system the accord euro cu2's run eg bosch or is it all panasonic cause i read futher back the amp is a panasonic
i am trying to find out so i can get an bluetooth car kit installed and all the installers want to know is the system a bosch because it will need a cable that costs $150 alone and then i have to buy the bluetooth kit itself
any help would be great
