Works for a 2010 crv with the “upgraded system“even though it says it doesn’t !
Works for my 2010 crv with factory amp and navigation even though it says it doesn’t …. The only thing that didn’t work was the antenna adapter that came with it , but it was “free” so no biggie . You got to wire the steering wheel controls up yourself buying an swc interface kit but you usually always have to do that when wiring aftermarket head units.and get a backup camera converter if you want to retain the oem one

IT WORKS for 2013 HONDA CR-V EX-L with premium sound and subwooker
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.

This harness works great for Honda Premium Audio systems. MUST HAVE PRE-AMP OUTS on your headunit!
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!

This is the one for the Honda Element 2009/2010 (2011?) with the navigation stereo.
This is the one that you need for Honda Element 2009/2010 with navigation - this and 4 female RCA cable splitters. Also the antenna that you need is "Anina Antenna Adapter Wire Harness Cable Compatible with 2009-2016 for Honda Accord Civic CR-V Insight Acura RDX TSX Factory Antenna Cable to Aftermarket Radio Receivers". You are welcome. It took a while to figure this out.

Metra has never let me down when it comes to stereo adapters
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.

Cheap China Junk
This harness is trash. Wires pop out of harness and do not stay set inside plug. I had to glue wires to stay put inside plug. Buy another brand name this brand name is cheap China junk

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.
