Install Android Car Radio & Steering Wheel Control In Honda Odyssey 08 - Ownice C500

[@xtremedestroyer9241]

for everyone having trouble with the key 1 and key 2 wires, apparently you're supposed to attach one of the Honda's steering wheel control wires to ground and the other one to key1 (or key2). Key 2 is just for in case you have a lot of steering wheel buttons. I'm installing it tomorrow to verify if this is true.

[@sevkibicen8377]

Hi man, so as I understand that key 1 or 2 have to go to input and we take ground from black cable(ground cable) from main harness. But for example if my car has 2 group of steering wheel control buttons like 3 each side. Should I both key 1 and key 2 connect to input?

[@danh9676]

Did you verify?

[@xtremedestroyer9241]

@@danh9676 yep, if I recall correctly, I connected key1 to the positive input and just grounded the other one. The unit measures resistance and all you need for that is the single wire but grounded

[@xtremedestroyer9241]

@@sevkibicen8377 well that entirely depends on your car. You just gave me a hypothetical scenario. Does ur car really have 2 cables? If so then connect one of the + cables to key1, the other to key2, and ground the negative one. That's how it worked for me with my single wire.

The third wire is the ground, you can find it using the multimeter with the wire from switch 1 or switch 2, so if the steering wheel control has 3 wires, two circuits for the buttons and one ground for the two wires.

I have a 2010 EX-L with a Jensen VX7022, I don't have the steering wheel controls hooked up with the headunit, I just have to splice into the two wires you showed? I don't need the steering wheel control module?

[@dial2fast]

The wiring should be the same for your 2010 Odyssey. The only thing you need to check is if your Jensen unit has support for steering wheel control without the need for a third party box. I know most Android head unit has this support built in.

[@MrRangerZr1]

It looks like it has three wires for the SWC, the manual says you need a third party box. www.jensenmobile.com/docs/common/VX7022/VX7022_IM.pdf

[@dial2fast]

I took a look at that Jensen guide and indeed it shows SWC (A/B/gnd) similar to the Android unit. But the guide also mentions recommending to use the PAC SWI-RC device but the PAC install guide shows connecting to the aftermarket radio via 3.5mm phono jack....which I don't see the Jensen unit having in the wiring diagram. Guess if the Jensen UI has a menu to map buttons like the Android, you can always try to wire it up and see if it works (without the PAC device).

[@MrRangerZr1]

it does have a dedicated app for the SWC. I'm going to try it out.

[@_GaragePasangkayu]

what the color of Speaker Cable in Headunit Odyssey 2001

[@danh9676]

My factory stereo has 4 connectors like yours. Did you leave the middle 2 connectors unplugged? Looks like a 20 pin connector and a 13 pin connector.

[@theostroomer1071]

Yes you leave the middle two connectors unplugged, except for adding steering wheel control. For steering wheel control, connect a positive KEY wire to PIN 6 or 7 wire (see video at 9:20). Then you ground the other wire that is in PIN 6/7, the one you didn't connect to KEY. If you have a KEY Ground wire on your new harness you use that to ground the 6/7 wire. If you don't have a KEY ground wire then add a wire connecting your black GROUND wire to the non-keyed PIN 6/7 wire. Here are some useful diagrams for various connectors, showing where the steering wheel control wires are. www.universalfuze.com/techdata

[@mkhw16]

I ran into a similar situation. Wired everything else on that harness but my Nakamichi Android Unit offers steering wheel controls. So I have 1 Orange wire labelled "key", 2nd Solid Blue wire labelled " SWC2" and 3rd solid Brown wire labelled "Back CTRL". I'm thinking of soldering "key" to Pin #6 and "SWC2" to Pin #7. Not sure what to do with the Brown "Back CTRL" wire though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a radio but only has 1 key wire no ground so I would connect to pin 7 ?

[@juiced71]

Great demo! Looks like a nice unit 👍 However why wouldn't they make the opening big enough for their screen ? That's odd And the wiring is odd also they give you two wire plugs that you have to put together why not just have it factory wired together and the customer could just cut the wires that weren't needed ? Again great detail 👍

[@dial2fast]

The Scosche plastic bezel is actually a proper double DIN size that would fit all the Sony, Pioneer, JVC stereo, but the China brand Android unit with the 7" screen is bigger than the standard opening. As for the wiring, that's very normal for any aftermarket car stereo. There is one harness that plugs to the aftermarket radio, then it's the customer's responsibility to figure how they will wire it to the factory wiring. In this video, I show you how to 'easily' wire everything up by buying a wiring harness that plugs directly to the factory plug. You will notice with the way this was installed, no factory wires were cut. The factory stereo can be reinstalled at anytime if you want. Hope the info helps. Thanks!

[@juiced71]

dial2fast oh ok got ya that does help thank you 👍 I just figured if they were supplying the wiring harness it would be easier to just cut the wires not needed then have to soldier each one And yes it's very nice that you don't have to cut into the factory harness this way you can put the old system back in for resale Thanks for taking the time to reply I appreciate it

Does your 08 Honda Odyssey came with HFL? (handsfree link), I tried following your guide with my 2011 honda cr-z ex no nav. It worked out great, thanks. The only thing I couldn't get to work was the steering wheel controls, I found the 2 wires (one for ground and one that detects voltage for audio remote switch) I need from my harness but after wiring it the same way as you did it still didn't work.

[@dial2fast]

My Ody does not have handsfree, but for the steering wheel control, you should check with a multimeter to see if each button press will have a different resistance on those two wire from the factory harness. There is no voltage coming from the two factory wires (when not connected to the stereo). The aftermarket stereo will detect the voltage drop of each button press and saves it in its memory.

[@Magi_Carp_]

dial2fast yes, I checked it with a multimeter like what you did and and it does recognize the resistance change when any of the buttons are pressed. unlike your HU, mine only has 2 wires for steering wheel controls ( SW-Key 1 and 2, no SW-Key Ground). I grounded one of the wire for the SWC and connected the wire that detects the button press to SW-Key 2 (also tried it in SW-Key 1) but it's still not detected on the Head Unit, I wonder if mine is just defective or am I going to need one of those universal SWC adapter (like the Axxess ASWC-1) Edit: NVM, i re checked all my connections and I finally figured out what's wrong, one of the SWC wires that neess to be grounded was not properly wired. Now its it's working. Thanks again

[@dial2fast]

If you don't have SW-Key ground, try connect one of the factory SWC wire to either the SW-Key1 or SW-Key2. Then connect the second factory SWC wire to stereo ground wire. AFAIK, SW-Key1 and SW-Key2 are both used for SWC signal and should not connect direct to ground.
