Default 8gen accord lx to ex/lx-s stock radio swap

i am in the process of upgrading my single disc radio for the 6 disc radio in my accord lx-p. the reason i am doing this upgrade so i can install a after market gps/navigation add-on since it is not compatable with the accord lx/lx-p single disc radio.. so far i have purchase the ex wire harness from honda and purchase the 6disc factory radio off ebay. however, i did install the radio with the new harness it powers on radio part works also shows the rds info.. 6 disc works but does not display the cd txt or mp3 txt.. the illumination light for the buttons does not work but when i run the test the buttons will light up.. also when i press menu button to try adjust the speaker zone i get this message on the display screen EXT... and i don't have any menu option .. also when i run the speaker test all speakers work .. all the diagnostic test pass except the air speed but when i try use the radio like it should those 3 functions does not work.. any suggestions.. also i believe there is some difference in wireing for the 2 cars so if anybody have a clue or know the difference between the harness please let me know or how to make this swap a success..and yeah i have already order the navi kit add on...

Parts:
wire harness:
32118-TA0-A00 LX <-- does not support after martket kit
32118-TA0-A10 LX-P <-- my current harness "does not support after martket kit"
32118-TA0-A20 EX <-- i purchase this one to replace the lx-p harness
32118-TA0-A30 EX-L <-- does not support after martket kit
32118-TA0-A40 EX-L NAVI
6 disc radio:
39171-TA0-A32 OR A31

i got everything to work..the 6 dics radio is a can bus radio so i had to splice into the can bus wire located in in the passenger side fuse box ..the display screen was user error i used my old display screen on a different radio which obviously display wrong info..so the swap can be done and everything works perfect
