2003-2006 Honda / Acura CD Changer Interface Model HONASX V.2 Installation

The HONASX can either provide up to 2 auxiliary audio inputs to your Honda radio for use with any device that has RCA line level outputs, or provides 1 auxiliary audio input and allows interfacing an aftermarket CD Changer. AUX 1 is the 8 pin DIN to RCA cable which plugs into the 8 pin DIN port on the HONASX interface. AUX 2 is the set of RCAs that are wired directly to the HONASX. These audio inputs are perfectly suited for Multimedia devices such as VCRs, DVD’s, Game Systems or TV tuners. Portable music players such as MP3, MD and CD players can utilize these inputs as well.

Installation and USE:
Using AUX1 & AUX 2 Inputs Without Aftermarket CD Changer
To select AUX 1 , make sure that the BROWN loop wire is connected, and the WHITE loop wire is disconnected. Press the CD/AUX button on the factory radio.
Audio will now pass through from the AUX 1 input and the radio will display: 1-You can select the AUX 2 input in two different ways:
1.) Activating AUX 2 using negative ground. Attach GRAY wire on the HONASX to a toggle switch that will ground the GRAY wire when selected; Make sure that the BROWN loop wire is connected, and the WHITE loop wire is disconnected. Be sure to insulate the ORANGE wire. Audio from AUX 1 will be interrupted, and audio from the AUX 2 input will pass through. The factory radio will display: A
2.) Activating AUX 2 using positive turn-on. If the Multimedia/Auxiliary device you are using is equipped with a 12V turn-on output, connect it to the ORANGE wire on the HONASX. Make sure that the BROWN loop wire is connected, and the WHITE loop wire is disconnected. Be sure to insulate the GRAY wire to insure that it does not come in contact with chassis ground. Once the Multimedia/Auxiliary device is powered up, audio from AUX 1 will be interrupted. The AUX 2 input becomes activated and the audio signal from that device will pass through. The factory radio will display: A

ECT Display Driver – Installation for AP2 Module

The ECT Display Driver is a small module with a removable wire harness that mounts behind the driver’s foot well cover. All wiring connections are near the ECM and only 4 wires are needed for basic operation:
• +5v power from the ECM (T-tap)
• Ground – available at ECM mounting bolt
• ECT sensor wire (T-tap at ECM)
• Dash temperature gauge wire (must cut at ECM)

If you want to use the optional Alarm Output feature 3 more wires are needed:
• Ground (must be run separate from the module’s power ground)
• Module output (negative) to your alarm device (sounder or indicator light, not included)
• +12v ignition or accessory power wired directly to your alarm device

Installation Details: refer to the photos and wiring diagram at the end of this manual
1. Remove the driver’s side doorsill trim and the driver’s foot well trim. (if you don’t know how to do this you probably shouldn’t be doing this modification)
2. Locate the connectors and wires you will be using, see photos at the end of this manual.
a. Temperature gauge wire (Yellow/Green) – Easily seen at the top left of connector A on the ECM.
b. Power wire for +5v (Yellow/Blue) – This is on the rear-most row of wires on connector C, in the ‘middle’ section of the connector. You will have to remove connector C from the ECM to locate this wire
c. ECT Sensor wire (Red/White) – This is also on the rear-most row of wires on connector C, in the ‘middle’ section of the connector.
3. Attach crimp connectors to the ECM wires as detailed below.
a. Using a pair of pliers, clamp one of the red T-taps around the Yellow/Blue wire in connector C, making sure the wire goes into the metal slot of the T-tap. If you have strong fingers you can squeeze the T-tap on the wire to hold it temporarily, then use the pliers to clamp it shut. Or, you can position the T-tap in the pliers’ jaw, then clamp it on the wire.
b. Crimp another T-tap around the Red/White wire in connector C.
c. Now cut the Yellow/Green wire a few inches away from the ECM and strip about ΕΎ” of insulation from each end.
d. Using a crimp tool, crimp a female spade connector on the end of the Yellow/Green wire that comes from the ECM.
e. Next crimp a male spade connector on the other end of the Yellow/Green wire (the end going into the wire bundle).
f. Note that the ends of the Yellow/Green wire have opposite connectors. If you ever have to remove the ECT Module you simply plug these connectors together and the temperature gauge will work like normal.
