adding HU to tsx quest (**pics inside)

Post by slammedtsx06 »

i have a 2006 acura tsx with navigation:
i have a head unit sony xava1 flip screen dvd player:
this is the wiring in back:

My questions: Before i ask i would like you guys to know that i did an install of this Head Unit in my 2000 civic si and made everything work fine. Now being that i would like to keep my stock changer and add this HU as my dvd player im confused and might be making this alot harder than it really is.....

I would like to keep full functionality of my 6disc stock acura cd changer. I also have a amp and sub for the trunk .
How with the pics and wiring shown can i make this work in the tsx? I would like the sony Hu to play my dvds and plan on getting doms dvd to nav to make the nav screen play whatever the sony is: Do i have to connect the speaker wires from the HU to the stock radios harness or can that be bypassed being i have alot of audio rcas such as the sub out mono for the subs to recieve signal?

In the first pic you can see the back of my sony xava1 7inch flip screen dvd mp3 blah blah player.. both the wiring and the wirng harness .

Pic 2 is the wiring harness minus the speakers wires.
Front L + R rcas Rear L + R rcas
ant remote 0.1a
amp remote 0.3a
red = ignition
orange /white = illumination
the yellow & black going to a fuse is the ground and the constant 12v
the green is for parking brake
the purple is a protection device to back lamp lead of car

Pic 3 (sorry for bluriness) is the wiring comming from back of HU
u cant see- xm ready bus port and the antenna plug
There is :
from top to bottom
rear monitor out (a/v)
aux 3 (video)
sub out mono (audio red & white)
aux 2 (a/v)
the aux 1 is located in the front of the unit / its says a/v in and looks like a headphone jack.


If i left anything at all out just ask and ill post ill be up most of the night trying to figure out exactly what has to be done...

thanks to anyone who inputs anything that will help...

oh but on the helpful side you need to see if there is an aux in for your stock head unit, pac may make one, and then simply use the sony hu as an auxiallary source.....you will then need a nice loc for the stock hu to use your amp and sub
