Easy to Use, No Subwoofer Wiring for Acura TL
By R. Denton
I lately used this wiring harness to install a JVC KW-XR810 head unit in my 2002 Acura TL S-Type.
The wiring harness worked well and was easy to use. It was nice that all of the wires came pre-cut and ready to strip. The packaging also had a wiring guide on the back that explained what each wire’s intent was. This was helpful because all I had to do was match up the corresponding wires from the new head unit harness to the Metra harness.
To be clear, you technically do not need to buy this harness. This harness wires to the wiring harness for your aftermarket head unit and then plugs into your car’s wiring harness. The gains of this wiring harness are that you do not need to cut into your factory wiring and that you may do all of your wiring while you are seated comfortably at a table inside your house and then just connect the plugs in the car. So, while you don’t need this to do the job, it is unquestionably worth the cash for the comfortableness and for the scaled down chance of failure.
One thing I ought to point out is that this device is only wired to aid 4 speakers (front L & R, rear L & R) so if your car has a factory subwoofer (i.e. a fifth speaker), this wiring harness will not help it. Also, I’ve looked around and there is not an aftermarket wiring harness out there that does help the subwoofer. Rather, what you have to do is run a RCA out of your new head unit and splice it into the subwoofer line for your car. There are a great deal of “how-to’s” drifting around on the web. I was competent to find one for my Acura TL and I have the factory subwoofer working now.
Overall, I would commend this. It works utterly and is great for the price.
-Cheers!

I installed a Metra Turbokit on my cousin’s 2005 Honda Accord, this harness permitted me to solder it to the new stereo and plug it into his Honda wiring harness. Great Product!!

Not a bad product. I would only buy this if you ever plan on installing your factory radio again. You still have to splice the wires to hook it up to the aftermarket radio (therefor it adds an extra 6-8″ of wires in your dash….bulky!). I would commend cutting the factory wire harness and splicing the wires yourself to your new radio. And I highly commend getting the “Posi-Product Twist-Lock” wire connectors directly from Crutchfield (they’re cheaper/contain more then any other online place).
I hope this info helps you guys.
