Hey, this is my first write up so bare with me. I am in no way responsible for any problems or hapiness caused by this write up. Here goes nothing.

What you need:

-S2000 Cd Player
-Metra 71-1721 Harness
-Metra 71-1720
-Crimpers
-Wire Strippers
-Red Crimp Connectors
-Packing Foam


Directions:
1. Take off center console. Take out all side screws and shift **** and take the whole thing off.
2. Take out the screws around the radio. Unplug the harness and antenna from the radio and take inside. You should have something that looks like this depending on what your application is.



3. Take the radio out from the surrounding and just leave the black surrounding that screws back into your car.
4. Start connecting color to color on the pigtail ends of your metra harness and crimp them (or solder) with your crimper and crimp connections.
*IMPORTANT TIP* Connect the orange stripe to the orange solid (illumination to dimmer NOT dimmer to dimmer) in order to get the correct illumination. All the others will go just color to color. There will be a couple extra wires for power antenna and others you might not have for your application.







5. Plug the metra harness 71-1721 into the s2000 cd player.
6. Slide the s2000 stereo into your stock surrounding.
7. This is where you have to get creative on how to secure the cd player into your console. I used a piece of packing foam and put it inbetween the storage slot and the cd player and that holds it great.
8. Plug metra 17-1720 into your car harness and plug antenna into the cd player.
9. Screw the stock mounting plate back into your center console bracketry in your car.
9. Put your center console back on.
10. Take a long road trip and enjoy the hell out of it.

End Result:







If you see any errors or have any suggestions please let me know! Thanks!

sweet!! where do you get this stuff from and how much am im lookin at!? theves dont want a stock honda radio

 

Exactly I bought the stereo for $88 shipped from a guy on this forum and the harness with tax are $15 each. I'm sure the cd player itself can be had for cheaper but I was in a hurry.

 

clean!!! damnit i just traded in my s2k for a TL

 

that is the excalty the same cd player i have right now ...and i have no clue what plug it suppose to have. so i guess s2000 plugs

Hey, nice write up, but I was wondering what console that is? its nice, and I want one!

 

Thanks! It's just a stock crx si console

 

I personally liked the first one better.

 

its a stock crx console period

 

What makes it special?

God only knows what you use 'Genuine Honda Lubricant' for

 

It actually sounds a hell of a lot better than that pioneer and the pioneer was super well tuned.

 

nice----- looks really good i am going to be putting a stock acura integra cd player in mine

 

The headunit looks just like the one I had in my 00' EX....except for the color. What kind of power does it put out? I swapped my factory headunit out for my 60x4 Alpine

 

heres an idea...

does anyone think it would be hard to rig up the remote volume and audio controls standard in a s2000 steering wheel and stereo, and use a prelude steering wheel that has cruise control buttons, to make that work with the s2000 stereo in a crx?



or just use the cruise controls on the EX sedan wheel?

ive heard you can get an adaptor that will interface with the 6 disc cd changer inputs as a an aux input.

 

lol i have the same radio but honda told me its from a 1999 crv its actually a pretty good radio and looks great bong

 

Thanks for all the kind words everybody! Yeah I'm pretty sure there's a way to interface with the cd changer control with and ipod. Pretty badass.

I don't see many S2K's at work, but I see alot of CRV's and that stereo looks very close in appearance from what I can remember.

I wonder if they use the same one. Its possible...

 

i think the silver s2000 cd player wood look better, considering it isn't the same as the one in the honda minivan :rollseyes:

and also, why all the harnesses? did your deck not come with the stock harness? if it did, why didn't you just hardwire the thing?

 

The way you can tell the difference is in the part number. The s2000 ones have s2a in them. I didn't hardwire it because I have radio add and switch them out super often. This one I'm planning on sticking with for a while.
