Just installed your harness in my new TL today, love it! Works great. Had to unplug the center speaker as it was buzzing, but easy to do when the hvac vents are already off.
@Mobile Max Car Audio Just installed my kit and it works flawlessly. Thanks for the video to gain confidence in what I was doing, since it's been a little while. I also got the Parking Bypass and it was easy to install as well!
how did u do it ?
Ordered your kit to install pioneer with CarPlay in my sons car. Worked great! Followed your video here and we knocked it out together in a couple hours. Everything works perfectly! Thanks!
This is a great video. I picked up my Acura used and whoever owned it before me did a huge hack job. Factory amp was missing, they chopped into the amp wiring harness and used funky home speaker wire and duct tape everywhere. Finally got a replacement factory amp and a replacement harness back in now I’m just patiently waiting for my custom harness from you guys. I can’t wait to use my new (used) Kenwood deck.
looking into getting one man. how is it ? does it bump hard after getting everything situated
@@sinkars5617 I sold the Acura a couple years back. The sound was great but it didn't hit hard as I would have liked on the sub, still much better than factory though!
Amazing video. Best radio install I think I've ever seen. Super informative and I'm definitely headed to your website
bouta buy this on sunday looks like it fits perfect and flush . Exactly what im looking for
I think this has been the best video. Very helpful and I appreciate you making this video
Appreciate the info bud..will definitely need one of your install kits.
Really Great Video. I followed everything but got lost on the parking bypass. Could not figure out what it was for and which wires are bypassed? Thanks Mike.
Thank you u are the best fr noone else explained the shii like u🙏
A very detailed video. Mad props!
Man awesome video. Too bad the person that installed the aftermarket that came with mine rats nested a lot of cables behind the console. Now that the amp and sub are having issues I’ll have to use your video for reference!
I know the amp works the sub works ( had them tested) the ground is good the power connection is good but it will not power on my amp. I will have to tap into that red and orange wire with my remote cable to my amp to see if that works. The remote wire was previously tapped to a wire by the factory amp.
Great video . keep up the good work .
Hey Great video, is There a 2012 tl acura video comino up anytime? Or is there any is it even posible to actually change mine to a touch screen one sincr mine has no nav
quick question! just got a used acura tl 2004 and I am looking to replace the oem stereo headunit with an aftermarket stereo (either a Sony or a pioneer) and was wondering if this would still work if I have the trim that comes with navigation and the 6.4 inch screen, thanks for the video!
Hey there,
I recently installed your harness and everything works fine, however, could you let me know which wires I tap for the pioneer parking brake bypass? For some reason you don't mention which wires to tap at the point of the video.
I did blue to blue, black to black, green to green. Maybe the blue wire on your harness isn't for remote? Or maybe the black wire isn't ground? Please let me know.
This looks great! For sure on my wishlist! I have two questions: First I notice this deck has the Waze app, I'm guessing you already have to have a NAV model TL to use this functionality? Secondly, how does the Spotify App work? Share wifi from a phone? Thanks for the answers, and thanks for making TL aftermarket radios more practical!
So pioneer leverages android auto and apple carplay on there units with the ending of NEX. This means they use the technology inside your phone to access apps and display them on the screen. So ultimately its running the apps and data of your phone, it does not matter if your TL had nav or didn't.
I have an 04 nav version but I dont have the nav player in my vehicle! It gone.! Can I install this the same for a navigation unit? Thanks!
I just ordered the Alpine compete kit from you guys. Is the parking break bypass necessary? Thanks!
@Mobile Max Car Audio ok so when i get the harness do i have to wire tap to get sound from my speakers
or how does it work because in your video at 2259 you say you have to wire tap if to fix the problem
Question, i bought a TL about a month ago . It has an aftermarket JvC receiver . I noticed previous owner was running some king of of system cuz he left the rca, remote, power, ground wires i removed the whole console and i didnt the rca’s connected to the unit ? Do they go to the factory amp?
I have a 04 tl love the car im going to put new audio system.
I have an '02 TL-S and thinking about getting something new, too. My navi disc is so old I might as well replace the nav, as well. Been using Google Maps on my Android phone for a few years now.
@@CitizenPerkins my lil brother has 02 s type too.his a pro audio installer going do my my car beat.God bless
I am working on a 2007 TL no nav. I am trying to retain the HFL steering wheel buttons, on this vehicle the 2 wires on the steering wheel connector are the orange and pink wires. The connector does not have a green/red wire. The green/red goes to the audio unit and is for remote switch positive on the 05 TL I believe. Looking at the wiring diagrams for the 07 TL the corresponding wire is a pink one. The orange goes to the HFL unit in both vehicles. I have wired a loop wire with a 150 ohm resistor between the pink and orange wires and now the steering wheel buttons do not function correct. The Ch up button changes the mode on the radio. I tried reprogramming the aswc1 but am not having any luck. Before wiring the loop wire all steering wheel buttons minus the HFL ones were working fine. Got any advice or point me in the right direction?
So is it the same process if my vehicle is an Acura TL 2006 automatic when removing the panel where the shift knob would be, or would I have to remove the side panels?
I have an 08 Acura Tl, how much is your custom harness and steering wheel control harness cost? Thanks and very informative videos
Hey bro how did you wire the parking bypass into the plug n play harness?
...decided it would be easier to purchase another vehicle.
I promise you it's not as hard as you think. Plus most car audio shops will charge an arm and a leg for installation.
Thx for video . My issue is my display above the air vents that shows climate and radio stations doesn’t always show the radio stations most of the time . But climate side is good but fades down sometimes . I’ll hit the top of dash and it will brighten back up . Any ideas??
My navigation isn't working after I installed everything I used a 68 ohm resistor and still nothing any help?
Seeing all of those wires make my head spin
hey that is why we sell plug and play solutions so you don't have to wire anything we also offer phone support to help you remotely! Hope the video helps
@@MobileMaxCarAudio sounds good! I have been searching for head units for non-nav TL. Can you also wire in a backup cam on this unit here too?
@@va2_lee yes you will need to tap into reverse wire for the TL and connect to the aftermarket radios input.
@@MobileMaxCarAudio thanks alot, when I get the time and money, will definitely pick this up. All the other head unit solutions I see end up removing the climate control temp display (no big deal but would be nice to keep)
@@MobileMaxCarAudio will it work on the fancier model with sat nav?
One of my cars is a 06 TL and it has the back screen, back led lights up but it doesn’t turn on you think it’s aftermarket? I bought the car of someone as another commuter

do i need to use the rcas for the harness or can i get by without using them. we plan to add amplfiers to push everything
I was hoping you would’ve covered what would happen with a OEM navigation still have power but touch screen and controls don’t work after installing rear view camera, a Bluetooth radio with cable harness. I forgot to get the wheel control module but that’s coming later this week. Rear view camera works, radio works, sound works.
i’m confused, if you don’t have the bypass what does it not let you do? can you not listen to music while u drive? or is it to where u can’t connect through bluetooth while driving?
What sizes aftermarket radios would fit on the metra dash ?
I got a pioneer avic 8200nex where is the pink vss wire suppose to connect? where is the vss wire in a 2006 acura tl auto non/nav? thanks
This may be a dumb question, how do I remove center console for automatic shifter? I am super excited about ordering this kit. You will hear from me soon for sure!
You don't have to remove the shifter if you remove the trim panel around and it put the shift knob into drive/manual mode. Here are some instructions to help you visualize www.metraonline.com/files/products/INST95-7815B_web.pdf
Put parking brake on and shift the car into drive or neutral it helps
Getting this done on my 04 TL at Best Buy. Hoping they do everything right, especially the USB for CarPlay as that’s why I mainly want to get an aftermarket stereo.
Eesh. Hope it goes well, they charge a lot
When you do this, is there anyway to tell what you ac/ heater is set on in a 05 Acura?
Oh wow. You release this after DAYS I did mine LOL. I’m upset! I struggled with mine and I’m without a sub right now and would love to know how to my single din connected to the factory sub
You lose amp/factory sub and center speaker support with aftermarket radios. Unless you follow his directions
Hey we hope this video helps you!
Which is the reverse wire for the backup camera?
What about the center piece removal for the 05 dual shifter?!
Do you just solder the parking bypass and to the green and that’s it?
So I’m having a problem with my subwoofer working with my radio but everything has power my amp has power and the rca cables are hooked up but my subwoofer ain’t working.
What about using the others unit for controlling the temperature in your car will it work the same but the bottom part just won’t turn on?
is it not possible to replace the stock screen with an aftermarket stereo?
How would this unit work if I wanted to install a backup camera to go along? Is that also plug and play or need special harness/ wiring?
also does the size of the screen matter that I am purchasing?
thanks looking forward to buying this complete kit soon
The backup camera install requires some additional wire tapping to access the reverse wire trigger which is found in the rear of the vehicle or the driver side kick panel. The size of the screen wouldn't matter. Only the radio installation would be plug and play.
I have an Acura 2005 RL with navigation. Can the radio still be replaced?
Is there an update on that 3d print mold you were making to replace that navi screen?
I got ur harness and radio ex220 everything is great I installed a aftermarket amp and subwoofer how do I retain sound.from my factory subwoofer?
Hello what cable do I need splice from this harness. Im also going to install an amp but I'm not sure if I need to splice the solid blue wire for the amp to kick on. Cause I don't see any other wire that are loose other than a pink and purple wire.
will the plug and play harness work with boss stereo
Hi again, So I successfully installed the stereo and everything is working fine. That was a success. Only issue now is that the stereo makes a high pitched noise. Any suggestions on whats causing this? And how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
Update:: Figured out front center speaker had to be disconnected. All good now.
do the after market radio or harness works with the center channel, output?
How do you connect factory radio just to enter the code for 2007 Acura TL type S?
can i connect amp turn on to cig lighter or do i splice it with the pwr antenna wire.. stereo harness doesn't seem to have amp turn on wire
What year vehicle and what harness are you using?
just went to your website I have a 2006 Acura TL non nav, how do I know which harness will work i don't know what amp in my car
I want Android Auto on my 2007 TL Type S, but wow this looks complicated, might have to have Geek Squad at Best Buy to install it for me.
How can I order the harness and steering wheel control for a Kenwood thanks in advance
This might be a dumb question so i wire tap my blue cable from aftermarket stereo to the harness & the red/yellow cable on gray pin? Im installing after work & this all i need answered!!
yes, but you will have no subwoofer or center channel and your navigation will not work. Also factory HFL will not work.
Can it be on top instead of the bottom one?
Are there any radio systems aftermarket that replace the entire Factory radio and navigation screen because the navigation screen is basically obsolete is there anything that is bigger that goes up into that area as far as a radio
I got this new wiring harness and it works perfectly with my Kenwood deck. I accidentally cut the wire for the aftermarket mic and got to thinking it would be awesome to tap into the factory harness to use the stock mic, is that possible?
That would be awesome and you probably can but it would take tapping some wires behind the radio and then a converter or some sort of cut mic harness so that you can actually connect it to the back of your radio.
So it is not possible to remove the navigation screen?
Man I need to do this so bad but man that wire segment looks intimidating ...
Anyway you can help me all my fuses are good but my navigation or the radio does nothing the navigation stays black even when starting the vehicle everything seems to be hooked up
Hi, i bought one of the full install kits with rca’s for a sony double din unit. Will this be all I need to do or will the signal still be boosted going to the factory amp?
that is all you need.
Does It Work On The Tsx 2006?
With the harness that you provide will it also retain the center speaker as well?
Our harness does not include the center channel but it can be added. The only thing is your aftermarket radio isn't going to have a center channel output unless you run another amp.
@mobilemaxcaraudio where did you get the wiring harness for the 07-08 tl that you can just plug and play without wire tapping anything?

Awesome upgrade. I am happy I got the Pioneer radio installed in 2008 Acura TL. But it gives a static hissing sound after the phone connects. If I disconnect the phone, the sound goes away. I can still listen to songs, etc but the hissing sound is always present and audible while listening at lower volumes. Can something be done about it?
How are you connecting your phone via aux? And is it charging when you are hooked up via aux? Or is it over USB?
@@MobileMaxCarAudio The installer fixed the hissing sound. Now I sometimes hear humming noise, but I am just ignoring it. Thanks for the harness from your website which enables navigation.
HI INEED HELP UNDERSTAND THIS VIDEO IS ONE YEAR AGO
I TRY PUT NEW RADIO AFTERMARKET ON MY 2006 ACURA TL NOW TURN ON FINE ALSO CONECT ALL SPEKER WIRES WITH SAME COLOR BUT NOT SOUND .
PLEASE HELP ME THANKS
Hi Orlando. I bought the full kit to install a pioneer dmh 220ex but stuck on how to install the bypass cables. The kit i bought has available: green cable, purple and pink. the bypass has a green, blue and black. I gather the green goes to green but what about the other two?
Your going to color match green to green, black to black and then blue to blue/white. The black and blue white you will need to cut back the insulation somewhere and connect the other wires without cutting it completely
Hi good video but I’m confused. Can’t you use the ground wire and connect it to the parking bypass? To watch videos as you drive?
Yea you can
Might be a dumb question. But if i have a 2006 tl with Navi can i place the new stereo in place of the navi or do i need to keep the original screen?
you would need to keep the original screen or make major modifications to fit a new double din in that location
Is there a kit I could buy with tools I need to do this?
I have your kit and everything works but theres no sound! Mine has 4 rca spots on radio (2 white and 2 red) and I tried diff combinations
Is it possible to replace the top factory screen instead of the bottom cassette/dvd section which you replaced?
Yes pioneer sells units that have seperate brains from screens that you can fabricate to fit in the top screen location but what we have found is then where the factory radio becomes wasted space because you either have to leave the factory radio there or build some sort of cubby. Here is someone on IG who has done it instagram.com/p/B_Xc-Z5JRwL/?igshid=1oxtzyox540ez
so if I buy your harness kit everything will be plug and play and I'll be able to keep my navigation?
yes if you are using an MVH AVH or AVIC pioneer radio.
Can you kindly help me to do this for honda legend 2007?
I also have an acura tl 06 and i was going to by a harness from your website and i was going to get a pioneer radio with apple carplay does it matter which one i get or all pioneer radios compatible?
All pioneer radios from 2018 onward are compatible. Any radio ending in EX or NEX will work
So what type of wire harness do I need with an Atoto A6 unit?
mobilemaxcaraudio.com/?s=diy&post_type=product
HOW EXACTLY do you wire tap the amp turn on wire so you get sound?? Splice into the factory wire? If so, where do you connect the factory wire to?
ruclips.net/video/ivrg800Mtuk/видео.html
Which wires are the parking bypass wired into?
What screws did you use to mount dash kit to the sides of the radio
Usually every radio will come with screws that you can use or if you bought used then you can use the original factory screws
I recently bought your guys kit, although I noticed that I hear whining from the right side speaker every time the car accelerates
hello please reach out via phone on Monday 877 542-2872
Where do I order one??
Bro I got my doble din to turn on but no sound
I wanna buy one of your full kits complete with steering wheel controls and everything but I’m unsure of the size of the dash, would you help me out ?
What do you mean the size of the dash? The dash kit will hold any standard double din radio.
Would this work the same if I ordered from Best Buy and had them install the DMH-1500NEX model but without steering wheel control?
So best buy doesn't have the necessary connectors. We are the only company that has the 26 pin and 40 pin connectors, the normal blue/white 20 pin they will have. I have seen them complete the install by using that 20 pin and then just wire tapping and using rca's to get all the correct signals from and to the car.
But for the install to be successful it will really be up to the technician if he can get it done or not. Some are familiar with interfacing with the factory amp and others will get everything working but your subwoofer and touchscreen.
Our suggestion if you want to have it installed locally is to buy our DIY Combo which is just the harnesses, bring them to a shop and explain that these are the right accessories and show them the video and wiring instructions. We have videos on how to wire everything as well its just taking the car apart that is hard part.
@@MobileMaxCarAudio how do I order the plugs from you?
This good for automatic transmission too?
How much for the 2004 acura TL aftermarket wire harness
I've heard that some people have lost sound in the sub after installing aftermarket stereos in the Acura TL. Anyone know how accurate this is? Or if this has happened to you?
our harness ensures that you retain the factory subwoofer and the navigation.
i have a base 06 tl with navigation, is it possible to install a double din head unit?
Yes it is possible. It is the same as this video
Have few questions plz! What does the parking bypass connect too, green is obvious but black n blue, do u just tap in to same colours on the harness? What about adding back up camera will that deck activate camera when I put car in reverse if it’s plugged into the back of the deck or do I have to hook into reverse lights or something ?Hoping to buy the plug n play kit like u using. Might buy Pioneer AVH-2400NEX is it compatible with that full wired harness?or I’ll have to get same dmh1500nex
Yes your assumptions on the parking bypass are correct, green to green than tap blue and black on the harness. As for the backup camera you will have to tap into the reverse lights or under the dash. Yes both radios are compatible
Mobile Max Car Audio thanks appreciate the info. Also wondering does the harness I buy from u guys have that reverse gear wire I can tap into for the Camera usually it’s purple from what I’ve seen on the stock wires that come with the din deck. It’s what the little wire coming out of the end of yellow RC video cable connects to in the back of the unit.
@@Captain420Malone The reverse green wire is included along with the purple in our harness
I’m guessing the wire tap for the amp turn on should be wired up to the blue wire from the headunit…. The remote wire
Everything works besides my sound any idea ?
Does the screen with the heater display still work?
Yes. In this video we forgot to mess with the controls after the installation but if you watch the other TL videos you will see it does work with the aftermarket radio in it.
So if your going to run an aftermarket amp for the door speakers and sub you wouldn’t have to harness those RCA connectors correct? You would just bypass it by using the aftermarket radio RCA inlet as outputs and run it to your aftermarket amp directly correct?
yes and then you need to feed the signal coming out of your amp to the factory speakers/your own speakers if you are going to use the factory wiring to run those speakers then we recommend hooking them up at the passenger kick panel where the factory amp is, if not you can always run your own wiring.
Mobile Max Car Audio
Awesome. Appreciate your responses per usual. Definitely buying from you and your company.
What all I need for the head unit
