Installation is simple as this interface connects to the 14-pin connector, shown at right, at the rear of the factory radio using the vehicle specific cable that comes with the interface (Click on image to see a larger photo of the rear of the radio).

Depending on what factory options your vehicle has, there could already be a factory wiring harness plugged into the 14-pin radio connector. The wiring harness that comes with this interface device is designed with a 'Y' connector that allows you to reconnect the factory wiring harness, if so equipped, once the Acura/Honda interface is installed, keeping all existing factory options functional. If there is no factory wiring harness plugged into the 14-pin connector, the 14-pin 'Y' harness will remain empty after installation.

With this device installed, you will have created an auxiliary audio input to your factory radio, which will allow you to plug in any external audio source, like the audio from a portable MP3 player, satellite tuner, DVD player, or iPOD, into the left & right RCA-type connectors (shown at left), and play the audio from that external audio device directly through your factory radio. This is a direct connect device and NOT an FM Modulator. An FM modulator requires you to tune to an FM radio station in order to listen to the audio from the external audio device.

Comes complete with all cables and connectors to connect this interface to your vehicle. See "Additional Add-on Items", shown below, for any additional cables or connectors you might need to connect your audio device to the RCA-type connectors on this interface.

Please Note: This is a direct connect audio-only auxiliary input converter, and does not allow you to control the external audio device that is connected to it.
