Wow, that's a lot of miles in two years! If you're ever driving through West Michigan I'd love a demo. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I'm thinking door deadening is next along with running active in my accord. Thanks for sharing all this great build info!

I've been in MI before for work, like Battle Creek, Marshall, Detroit, Saginaw, etc. I rented a Chrysler for my trip to Detroit - figured it'd be poor form to roll in a Honda. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Got a build log for your Accord?

Haha, smart man in Detroit. My wife's family over on the Detroit side have a long history with Ford... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I'm in Grand Rapids, plenty of imports around here!

I'm trying to watch for sq events around here so I can hear what a competition level build sounds like compared to my entry level work in progress without deadening. I'm thinking when I take my doors apart next to finish my new active wiring it would be a good time to deaden at least inside the door while I have the speaker out...

I just finally started a build log last week, i'm posting some of the older stuff first and getting up to where I am now, so it's a little disjointed. http://diymobileaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=272658

You can visit Indiana and Ohio for competitions. There is a Facebook group for Indiana Sound Quality that is very active.

i'm super stoked about the next upgrade: swapping the stock with the premium touch screen. this will give me a clean, flat output without the internal DSP of the current stock unit... all while keeping full stock functionality with cameras and info screen.

cool! I'm interested to see how this swap goes for you. i thought the premium models had higher resolution on the upper screen too, hopefully that's plug and play too... did you buy new, or find it used somewhere?

I bought it as a salvage unit.

Actual part number is 39101-T3W-A830-M1 from a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid

Lucky for me, the main 24 pin harness is identical.

The rest of the harnesses vary with being useful with the following differences:

Harness B isn't needed - it has audio I won't use (has sub out)

Harness C has HandsFreeLink and external AUX audio.

Harness D has HandsFreeLink

Harness E goes to the external FM Tuner - so I lose FM unless I adapt and feed my Alpine DVA-9861.

Harness F only has ground and power but the Navi model adds a few other cables.

Harness G has the lanewatch camera, and I need to check the harness against the base model because the harness includes the rear view camera.

Harness H is i-Mid and the same

Harness J is HandsFreeLink

Harness K is the USB port

I referenced several schematics to figure out the connections.

This is the schematic for the 2014 Accord Sport non-touchscreen that I will be replacing

After comparing the schematics, it seems the only wire that I have to manually re-configure is the HFL steering wheel controls - assuming they will even work with the new HU directly since that wire routes to the HFL Controller on the premium model.

wow, that is an incredible amount of info you've compiled! so will you be using preamp outs now, or still speaker level but with dsp disabled?

 

[jb4674]

KHA, did you get the modules (FM tuner, Bluetooth, XM) with it as well?

Thanks! I built the harness maps on excel and stitched the schematics together so they are a single image. I wanted to share as much info as possible for others to attempt the same.

I don't run speaker levels now, I bypassed the internal amp on my stock HU already, but can't bypass DSP.

I have this unit just so I get a clean, flat, low level signal to feed the H800 AUX in.

No. No modules. I ordered a $7 antenna adapter for my DVA-9861 and will use that HU for FM. I don't care about XM. my main concern is BT capability since I don't have the external HFL unit. If you compare the schematics you see the base unit has steering wheel HFL controls wired directly and the premium unit has them wired external.

Those hfl units are not that expensive on eBay. I'd look around for one

if need be, to regain BT function, that will be the process, but i'll need one with harnesses cut off so i can extend wiring - i wont' have the harnesses necessary to just buy a lone unit. i may be able to reach out to a few of the sellers with wrecked cars.
