Review on Metra 70-1721 Wiring Harness: Perfect Fit for 1998-2013 Acura, Suzuki, and Honda Vehicles by Matt Tebow

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great (with one exception) for a 2006 Honda Pilot LX and Soundstream VR-622HB

This plugged easily into the factory wiring harness on my 2006 Honda Pilot (although one connector pin was bent the first time) and had enough cables to connect a Soundstream VR-622HB DVD receiver/stereo receiver. The exposed ends of the wire (protected by a piece of coating that needs to be removed first) were a bit short for my liking, but they worked. I also had to unplug the wiring harness a couple of times, which proved difficult by hand (I recommend a regular screwdriver or pliers). Also, this harness had 2 orange wires for "Backlight/Dashboard" and "Dimmer" that didn't match. with the pink "Handbrake" wire and the orange "Cam Control" wire on my Soundstream harness. I called Crutchfield and they told me that the wires on this harness do not need to be connected, but the pink and orange on the soundstream do need to be connected to the handbrake and reverse wires respectively. A NOTICE. If you haven't done this, before installing your stereo, note that you will need to either solder (recommended) or use terminal caps to connect to your stereo's wiring. You will also need heat shrink tubing or electrical tape for soldering.

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
