[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 4733803, member: 561023"] Your new headunit will have two separate power wires that both need to be connected properly for the unit to work. The red wire needs to be connected to switched power (a circuit that only has power when the ignition is keyed on) so that the unit will go on and off with the key. The yellow wire needs to be connected to constant power (a circuit that has power continuously regardless of the position of the ignition) to retain your EQ settings, clock, radio presets, etc. I'm not that familiar with Honda's wiring so I couldn't tell you what color the wire will be but there [I]should[/I] be wires for both in the factory harness.
