heya i got a good 00 civic radio im trying to get into my eg. i searched read up on a lot of the stuff but nothing was too clear on if there is a harness to buy to convert the eg plug into a ek plug... anyone know? saves me the time and hassle of wiring, I like things to be as clean as possible too, thanks!

 

my buddy put a 00 Si radio into his EH2, he bought a harness from best buy.. it can be done, slides right in and looks clean

 

easiest way i did it was get an aftermarket harness from autozone for your eg. Plug harness to your eg. Then solder the EK/EM stock harness plug to aftermarket harness.

You will need the stock harness off EK/EM to do this.

 

yea would ratehr not solder if i can buy one of those 20 dollar clips or whatever for aftermarket radios, anyone know which harness i need?

 

Do you have the harness/plug from your 00 radio? cuase you need that to plug in the back of the radio to work

I can post pics tomorrow to show you what i did. Cuase I had a 99Si radio in my 90 si. Now its in my eg.

 

well i don't wanna cut the one out of my car cus i gonna sell that car haha and it has a radio in it already,s o no other wya around it?

 

nope.. you will need the stock harness/plug from that radio. Go to the junk yard and cut one out. Get a good 8" worth.

 

hmmm if so then i'll just remove my aftermarket one in my other car and put the aftermarket one into my eg

 

sounds like a plan. Goodluck in everything

 

i actually work at best buy mobile installation department over here in san francisco. you will need a 98+ civic REVERSE harness and a regular honda/acura car deck harness that plugs into your factory plug. just connect the same color wires together and it will work. when you go to best buy just ask for a 98 and up civic REVERSE HARNESS and a regular honda/acura car deck harness and they will know what you are talking about.

*NOTE* = REVERSE HARNESS is the same thing as the regular OEM plug. So in this case you would want the 00 si reverse harness.

 

those are about 20 a piece right? so thats 40 bucks?

 

okay i found harnesses pretty chepa here

anyone wanna help me figure out what i need to hook up the 00 radio into the 92 hatch! im so confused, im a electrical noob i swear.

 

anyone?

 

im lost

 

 

why would u lock this. Im a complete electrical noob, i don't want to go to circuit city and spend 40 bucks on 2 different harnesses when i can just ask someone here. All im asking for is help.

 

help? it sucks without a radio. for god sakes i've only soddered two things in my life and never really wired up anythign except for a household light switch so any help would be great!

 

u dont need to solder anything

u can just splice the ends

 

yea but i don't even have the plug. nevermind im just gonna have to buy 5 harnessess and see what fits.

 

Get the reverse harness. That will plug into the back of the si radio. Then get an aftermarket harness for 92-95 civics. That will plug into your oem 92-95 wire harness. Now just splice the wires according to color and voila you're done. Use connectors and a wire crimper if u don't wanna cut or solder.

 

nice, could i also just cut the clip off the 92 stock harness and wire those to the reverse harness?
