this might sound stupid but my stock HU in my 2002 accord just stopped working.... i have the new mounting thing for my new deck... i was wondering if the wireing harness i buy connects to the end of the stock one and then to the back of my new HU?

PM me with answers please

 

yes, take the harness from the hu and solder the wires to the adapter harness for your car. this makes the install plug and play.

 

i have to solder all the wires together? gay..... there isnt an adapter that makes it easier?

 

what kind of radio is it?

 

no I have never seen an adapter that will take your model and the model of the hu. Think about all the different model cars, then think about all the different years in which the pin out of the radio is different, then add ontop of that the number of different hu's on the market this year, and last year, and the year before that. easy to see that you can easily have 100 different como's of wiring just to keep the honda guys happy for just 3 or 4 of the bigger manufacturers of audio.

 

Not to disagree, because kender is right to an extent...but there are only 2 pinouts, or 2 harnesses, for all hondas. And most of the time, the harnesses for radios of the same brand are the same. And they usually dont change every year. But thats beside the point. Circuit City sells the 'smart harnesses', one which goes from your honda plug to a universal one, and another which goes from that universal one into any brand radio that they sell. Those are 16.99 a piece. Metra does also make a few direct harnesses...they take the most popular harnesses, and the popular brand radios, and make a harness that plugs directly into each. Youd have to call Metra and get a model number for that. Or you can just buy a normal harness and crimp or solder, which will all be color coded anyway.
