Need help or wiring diagram for 98 Civic stereo
I need a wiring diagram for the stock radio in a 1998 honda civic hatchback dx. I recently bought a new headunit and I need to depin/repin the new connectors. Unless someone else knows an easier way to do this.
This is my first time changing a headunit on any vehicle amazingly. hah.
Both connectors are NOT the same either.

Re: I need a wiring diagram or help for an EK.
....so you bought an aftermarket headunit or a stock one? If it's an aftermarket, get one of those radio harness (Metra) from your local Walmart. If you're trying to install a factory Honda/Acura radio, Metra has car harness wires as well....
DO NOT CUT THE FACTORY RADIO PLUG . You will regret it later.

Ya, I guess I'll have to do that or hit up Fry's. Walmart didn't have the right one, only for BOSE headunits. Wish this wasn't so stupid, gotta make **** more plug & play.

You need one of these.

DO NOT cut or de-pin anything. I've been using these for 15+ years.

Re: Need help or wiring diagram for 98 Civic stereo
OK here goes... 98 Civic, removed radio, took radio apart, desoldered "incremental mechanical rotary encoder"...pot was so much easier to refer to a volume control back in the day!
Five pins. Two pins (momentary on/off) one side, Three pins opposite side + two anchor pins middle. ALPS & JAPAN only words stamped backside of switch. Circuit board has VR401 where that part goes to but no part #. Where/Who can I talk to to obtain this little bit of "hell" LesPaul

Before the eyelids close...could someone post wiring schematic (the guts...inside) for AM/FM 98 Civic. Hope voltage/amp max loads are included for the volume control (i.m.r. encoder) Thanks...Les Paul

Last year, I did cut and soldered to put Pioneer in. It's very hard work take an hour to done this job. Get the harness is the best way.
