2003-2006 Honda / Acura CD Changer Interface Model HONASX V.2 Installation
Adapter Installation Location:
The HONASX connects to the 14-pin connector on the back of the factory head unit.
Compatible Radios:
The HONASX is compatible with ‘03-’06 Honda CD changer control head units with 14 pin connector. Note: As vehicle manufacturers continually introduce updated radio models there may be instances where the interface is not compatible. Please contact Technical support if you experience any problems. Have all radio model numbers, vehicle information and symptoms ready when you call.
Function Overview:
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
Using with Aftermarket CD Changer and AUX 2 Input
To activate this input you must disconnect the two ends of the BROWN loop, and connect the two ends of the WHITE wire loop. Attach the GRAY wire from the HONASX to a toggle switch that will ground the GRAY wire when selected. When the GRAY wire is grounded the CD changer will automatically pause and audio from the AUX 2 input will then be heard. When the GRAY wire is ungrounded CD changer operation will resume where it left off.
