Easy to Use, No Subwoofer Wiring for Acura TL
By R. Denton
I recently used this wiring harness to install a JVC KW-XR810 head unit in my 2002 Acura TL S-Type.
The wiring harness worked well and was easy to use. It was nice that all of the wires came pre-cut and ready to strip. The packaging also had a wiring guide on the back that explained what each wire's purpose was. This was helpful because all I had to do was match up the corresponding wires from the new head unit harness to the Metra harness.
To be clear, you technically do not need to purchase this harness. This harness wires to the wiring harness for your aftermarket head unit and then plugs into your car's wiring harness. The benefits of this wiring harness are that you do not need to cut into your factory wiring and that you can do all of your wiring while you are seated comfortably at a table inside your house and then just connect the plugs in the car. So, while you don't need this to do the job, it is definitely worth the money for the convenience and for the reduced chance of failure.
One thing I must point out is that this device is only wired to support 4 speakers (front L & R, rear L & R) so if your car has a factory subwoofer (i.e. a fifth speaker), this wiring harness will not support it. Also, I've looked around and there is not an aftermarket wiring harness out there that does support the subwoofer. Rather, what you have to do is run a RCA out of your new head unit and splice it into the subwoofer line for your car. There are plenty of "how-to's" floating around on the web. I was able to find one for my Acura TL and I have the factory subwoofer working now.
Overall, I would recommend this. It works perfectly and is great for the price.
-Cheers!

Good connector, but needs modification if you want to use steering wheel controls
By Bob B
The connector/harness I received was fine, but I had to modify it to maintain steering wheel control. I had to remove one of the extra pins/wires and reinsert into pin 3 of the connector. This is pretty easy, and worked fine, but it would have been nice to have it work out of the box. I used this connector along with the Metra Axxess ASWC Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface and a Clarion CX501. I installed this in my 2002 Acura MDX. Radio works great and steering wheel control is flawless.
An alternative to modifying the connector/harness is splicing into the steering wheel wire ahead before it goes into the Acura connector... but that defeats the purpose of having a harness. There may be other Metra harness that have steering wheel control for acura, but I didn't find them.

Compatible with Accord 2002
By STEF
The harness comes in a plastic package with a wire guide on the back. It is wired to the harness supplied with the radio, and provides a means to connect a new radio to the car's wiring system without making any splices.
It was extremely easy to match up the appropriate wires on this harness with the wires comming from the connector provided with the radio. Based on color and using the guides that came with the radio and on the back of this harness package, it was very simple: for example: white to white, white w/black stripe to white w/black stripe, etc. Since my vehicle doesn't have a powered antenna or amplifier, there were a few wires that were left unconnected.
My preferred method of connecting this harness to that which came with the radio was to strip both wires that needed to be connected together, slip some heat shrink tubing over one wire, twist the wires together, solder, and slip the tubing over the soldered connection, then to apply heat until the tubing shrinks down to the size of the insulation on the wires. The basic technique is shown here:

The result is an excellent mechanical and electrical connection.
