HiFiSi Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 The adapter harness should have a wiring diagram showing which wire is for what. And the D3 has an installation manual that shows what each wire is for on it's harness. Look at them both, and connect the dots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khmerxnuttyxb Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 i no longer have the diagram, another question, any1 know what color the speed detection lead is for the 02 accord, and what the color is the backup light lead?? im new to installing stuff, just gonna wang it see what i can do... 1 more stupid question if im using buttconnetors, for the wires to connect do i have to remove a lil bit of the colored skin for the wire so it shows the lil wire thread to make the connection or can i just clamp it on like wire taps??

xsdbs Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 ummm, not to sound mean or harsh but if you have not installed anything before this is not a unit or the time to learn on. it could prove to be a expensive training. you may want to either find a friend who has installed and knows a little more than you to teach you a little something OR better yet, just pay someone who is an experianced installer and knows the answers to your basic questions. I suggest that if you want to install equitment that you look into some reading materials and maybe even pick up a copy of an MECP book. good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khmerxnuttyxb Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 no offense taken, well i think i can do it, just never installed nothing in a car, just did home electronics.... and all i used was electric tape, thats why i asked the question about butt connectors because i never used them... i did some research on most of the stuff, and check out all the wires in car and read the manual throughly, and i think im confidence enough to do it... just had some small questions lurking in the air... such as what color the speed and backup lead is...i wouldnt try it if i wasnt too sure what i was doing, but i watched a friend hooked up my avic n2 awhile back... i try calling him for tips but fool what pick up the phone... so if any1 got answers to my previous question it will gladly help...

aggravation Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 You need to trim some insulation to get bare wire touching the inner metal sleeve in the butt connector. Don't hook up anything until you know for sure what it is, no guessing allowed because in many cases you will burn up something expensive. Â I don't know the wire colors for the Honda but I'll bet using Google you could eventually find someone who has posted that info somewhere... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

khmerxnuttyxb Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 yea i know, but aint the wire harness u get from the store suppose to be made for ease?? thought they made them so u can easily match the colors?? thats what most of them say for their description...

khmerxnuttyxb Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 well i got the wiring color code for it now, i went to best buy (where i originally bought the old 1), since i do not live to far and bought another harness then made a copy of wiring code manual, then i returned it back to the store , basically it was just match the colors! so thats an relief on the safety issue of wrongly connecting something... well all i need to find out is where the speed lead and backup lead is.... any1??

MisFit Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Speed Sense blue/white ECM Located at the first plug on the ECM, it is a 32 pin gray plug. The ECM plugs can be accessed by pulling up the carpet on the passenger side of the center console. There are 4 plugs total.  Reverse Light green/black + driver side fuse box  by the way, im hoping i read this wrong when you said you used electrical tape to make connections in home wiring Quote Link to post Share on other sites

khmerxnuttyxb Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 ok i did it, took me about an hour and 1/2... everything worked fine.. the only thing was the bypass, it worked but then when i drive pass 15mph the warning thing came up... i saw some1 else on here with that same problem so i guess i look it up... another thing is the fram supplied with it didnt fit so i have gap around it... so guess i have to find a kit, couldnt find any at best buy.... but imma go check out another 1 around here, so once i get that ill try to fix the problem with the bypass...
