Easy to use, simple setup works with subwoofer

. When I bought the product I found it on Crutchfield but it was cheaper on Revain plus free shipping and such. So I knew it was the right product for the 2003 Honda Element. It has all the connectors and an antenna, everything you need for wiring, so it automatically connects to the subwoofer that comes from the factory in the 2003 Honda Element. I didn't buy a dashboard for a 2003 Honda Element because the radio was a perfect fit. Or any fasteners. I'm using existing factory mounting hardware

Pros
  • . Best
Cons
  • . Problems

Incomplete on Auto & Vehicle Electronics

This kit has almost everything you need to fit an aftermarket unit to an item with a factory audio amplifier, but leaves a lot to be desired. The following is missing: 1. Antenna adapter (sold separately)2. Guide so you know which RCA connector goes with which speaker (available on manufacturer's website) 3. SWC and XM Cables/Harnesses The kit includes a speaker wire harness and other essential wires (power, ground, etc.) , a subwoofer adapter (an RCA connector) and an additional jack adapterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Self Confident
Cons
  • Empty

Missing 3 wires required for full installation

that works but price should include pinouts for ALL factory wires. They include most of the factory wiring and do not include the following: #1s do not include the steering wheel control signal wire so you will need to connect it to the factory wiring harness. #2's do not include a wire for the steering wheel control ground so you will need to make connections to the factory #3 wiring harness. They didn't include the cable for the dash dimmer so it needs to be connected to the factory wiringโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Car Electronics
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

Makes installation so easy but is missing a couple of pins

I have bought this twice now, for two different installs in my Element '06. If you have an element with a separate amplifier, which I believe is characterized by the presence of a subwoofer at the foot of the console, then this harness is missing 2 pins that control the power supply to this amplifier. In this case I recommend you buy a 2nd Metra harness (blue harness only) and then use a needle or pen to remove 2 smaller pins which can then be inserted into the 1st remote switch harness (pinsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Auto AV Install
Cons
  • Expensive

Does not fit 7 speakers Item

Contrary to all other reviews it does not include connections for factory installed tweeters. it includes RCA connections for an external amplifier (behind the glove box) for front left, front right, rear left, rear right and subwoofer. but it does NOT connect to the tweeters above the doors of the 04 EX. These tweeters are radio operated and require bare wire connections. That's why Revain says it doesn't fit the EX element. According to the manufacturer's website, it doesn't have theseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Some bugs
