[QUOTE="*Ace*, post: 7837742, member: 555445"] Hey guys, So I bought a new Kenwood DDX419 head unit and am about to install it but have some questions about wiring the harness. I have a 2011 Honda Civic and this is the harness it uses: [IMG]http://gallery.8thcivic.com/albums/audio/ex16.jpg[/IMG] [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1"]#1[/URL] / Ground - Black with silver stripe [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2"]#2[/URL] / Rear R - Yellow with silver stripe [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=3"]#3[/URL] / Front R - Red with silver stripe [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=4"]#4[/URL] / Radio marking as LET Lt. blue with silver stripe (not used) [URL="http:////forums/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=5"]#5[/URL] / Radio marking as TEL No wire (EX w/nav?)

First the blue/white wire for my head unit (power control wire) is the remote turn on for my amplifiers correct? Second you will see that the Civic harness has a positive illumination/dimmer wire AND a negative illumination/dimmer wire. My head unit has only one wire for illumination/dimmer, but does not specify negative or positive. Would I connect the head unit illumination/dimmer wire to just the positive illumination/dimmer wire on the civic harness? Then the head unit has a blue wire for antenna control wire, I'm guessing this will not be used? Finally there is the mute wire for the head unit. My civic harness doesn't have anything for mute, so would this wire not be used as well? The mute wire on the head unit is for the bluetooth, which I do plan on using.
