This video is fantastic! It worked on my 2007 Honda Odyssey with a cheap Chinese head unit and now the steering wheel controls all function. The wire colors were different but the plugs were the same so I went by the pin numbers and it worked. I couldn't find this information anywhere else. Thanks!!

Great work Ross. My harness only had the key 2 cable and it still worked once hooked up like your video shows. Thank you.

Thanks a lot. It is really hard to get this information and made my install easier and more successful.

Thank you so much, I was struggling with this confusing stuff but I finally got it. This is the right way to explained 👏 thank you again!

I used the Friegromech ISO harness it connects straight to the car harness and ISO connector on the back of the radio and you don't have to do all those connections you did, and with your info I got my SWS to work thanks.

Do you remember the part number. Also did you have to solder any wires like he did ?

@@jmax6614 Fiegromech 8-PIN ISO-02 I used it on a 2001 Honda Accord, the only thing I had to do was to cut into one cable so I can use some of the steering wheel controls on the radio but no need to solder any wires.

thank you man I was so frustrated! with this issue!!!! thank you for helping out.

Thanx man, it worked on my power acoustik, once I wired up the key 1 and 2, I found a new menu for key maping, so far only channel change and volume or track change, thinking making the "mode" mutton for calls

Awesome!!! worked like a charm!

my Ridgeline is 2012 and which cable# should I connect key 1 and 2?

Good enough for me

So I do have a good question. I bought the aftermarket wiring harness so I could just match up the colors and at least my head unit should work. But now I'm Trying to get the steering wheel controls to work. So I have your typical purples to Purples, whites to whites, Greens to greens and whites the whites. Then black to black red to red blue to blue yellow to yellow Orange to Orange And then off my stereo harness is a Orange w black wired to Orange w white. But Orange w black is Key 1 and brown is Key 2. What do I do with this ?

Will you cruise control work if you never had it? Or do you need a special adaptor?

Good video man, few questions hopefully you can help me. What is the model number of the metra harness you got? Did your car have the navigation system in it or just the regular radio unit before you installed your new head unit? Can you still use your factory subwoofer? Thanks man!

You can still use the factory sub, and it doesn't matter if you have the navigation unit or the regular head unit.

Thank you! The OEM navigation system is no longer supported/updated so we want to move to newer systems. Do you know if this trick will work with 2013 Ridgeline? We have a 2007 and a 2013 in the household-- both RTL with navigation. I know the dash kit for both seems to be the same.

Hy, I have a Honda Ridgeline 2006. Please HELP!! could you tell me if you connect and where your connect (in case) the brown cables (Key-1 and Key-2) some people say is for steering bottoms.

Key 1 and 2 go together to pin 11. I don't think your dimmer cable would work, I hooked mine up and didn't work for me.

Dimmer can work connect it to red stripe black wire on the car socket

so if I understand correctly, Key 1 and Key 2 go to the green and red wire and the brown wire needs a ground to the stereo, Correct?

Why tap in to that wire when you can just wire it to your red wire in radio. It’s literally the same thing
