Metra 70-1730 Wire Harness Amplified Version for HONDA 2008 and Up (Black)

Used this for connecting a JVC KW-NT500HDT to my 2008 Honda Accord EX-L 4dr V6 with 6-CD changer (now removed) and Premium Audio (did not remove). The JVC headunit has Pre-Amp outputs (Front L/R, Rear L/R, Sub L/R), and the ability to turn off the internal amplifier, cutting down on heat inside the unit. If your headunit only uses a built-in amplifier, and does not have pre-amp outputs, this is not the correct wiring harness.INSTALLATION NOTES:BE SURE TO CONSIDER THIS: If you want to use Steering Wheel Controls (and you are buying the Metra ASWC box or equiv), You should also buy the non-amplified wiring harness, and steal two pins out of it to add to this harness (use it as a suicide cable). This harness does not have these pins present, although the factory connector has them (i believe they are on Pins 5 and 16). I had to use wirecutters to destroy the plastic connector on the suicide harness, in order to steal the two wire leads and put them on this one. (BTW, DriveAccord.net was a great resource for my install)BTW: After much searching, the Reverse Signal wire is NOT present on the Honda Factory harness (for those wanting to install a backup camera). Apparently, there is one under the driver's kickpanel, but i just ran a wire along with my video cable back to the trunk and spliced into the reverse light wire itself. I ran these two cables underneath the center console, underneath the carpet, then underneath the back seat, then up underneath the padded vertical cornerpiece to the right of the seatback, then along the left side of the trunk. (I wish someone would have told me all this from the beginning, i could have saved a few hours)HOPE THIS HELPS!

Good product

I don't know why amazon says this won't work, it's exactly what you need to change out the Honda CRV EX-L radio with premium sound amp and subwoofer. This doesn't do steering wheel controls or factory microphone and you need the antenna adapter as well, but it does the rest and was super simple to install.

Works exactly as I thought it would. Really wish it had the two wires for the steering wheel controls.

Worked fine for Honda CRV 2016 with the factory amplifier (even though Amazon said it is not a compatible model). Connected Android head unit (Joying) line out level signals to car harness. All speakers and subwoofer run great, clear sound, no noise.

Install was for a 2011 Accord. My head unit had power and everything worked but there was no sound. Problem was the metra plug didn’t have a good connection or something. The amp power had 12V coming from the head unit but it wasn’t getting 12V on the other side of the plug. Ended up bypassing this plug for that wire directly into the OEM harness.

Metra has always been my ho to for harness adapters any time I upgrade my factory stereo, so I wasn't about to try to look for anything else. These are always great quality and require very little to hook up.

Plugged into the harness easy connection all worked without issues

Parfait pour mon Crosstour, super rapide.

Producto de buena calidad, facilita enormemente la instalación de un autoestereo aftermarket, sería perfecto si incluyera la interfaz para la antena. Cumple con la expectativa.

Okay guys,This harness is for Honda owners with a factory amp.However, this harness is missing some pins/wires which are for steering wheel control.My aftermarket head unit comes with built-in SWC interface, so I don't need to buy Metra's extra SWC interface.But Metra harnesses by default intentionally do not come with SWC pins.I bought this and had to return it due to missing SWC pins.I couldn't find any Honda harness on Amazon with full pins, so I had to look up on Aliexpress and finally found one after 30 mins of search.
