great vid mate, and belting tunes! both in my playlist :)
Hi Keith,
Thanks for some great FR-V videos.
I’ve been looking for info on make and model of the reversing camera you fitted, as it seem to fit the FR-V in design.
I may have overlooked the info, if already stated, but could you tell me the brand and model of the camera? You could add that info along with model no. of the pioneer unit in the video description, as I think more people will eventually ask.
Thanks again for the videos !
Hi Keith, You a star and have saved me a heck load of time and arse-ache trying to sort this out. Hope you don't mind my posting a slight variation on your excellent process that might make it easier for others. Mine is now working perfectly 2.2 (CDTi EX 2007). There appears to be a difference on the Green connector where mine had 9 wires going to it but yours appeared? to have only two. However, I just connected to the same colour wires and bingo... it worked! I used T Taps that are really excellent and also means the original wiring is kept in tact (should it be wished to re-instate the old radio etc.) For the connects2 unit CTSHO001.2 (thanks for that invaluable advice) rather than cut and connect the main connector, I decided to just connect the three wires from the Connects2 unit to the standard harness and use this to connect into the new unit (Kenwood DMX125DAB). I again used the line T Taps that are perfect for this job. I would post some pics but don't think I can here? Anyway, thank you so much for posting all your hard work online for others to follow, it is much appreciated. Chris
Nice one, glad to have helped. Nice work with the connectors.
@@keithmcmanus6650 Thanks Keith.
Hello Keith what size screen is that? Also have u got anyplace I can find the sat nav bracket please..kind regards
Hi Keith, very interesting video! I have a question? Where did you put the rear camera cables? I am going crazy. Thank you!
You have to prize open a gap in the plastic cover inside the boot lid, then run the cable down the wire feed on the hinge and then feed it down and out the plastic cover where you get to the rear bulbs, there you can connect to bulb wire for your live and run the rest under the plastic sill to the front of the car.
Thanks for your guide! The radio is ok! For the installation of the rear view camera, I cannot remove the rear support. How did you do? The link of the detail drive.google.com/file/d/1KTGgBG73WP76UI1jdnRmQ1pQe11VzTld/view
Hello Keith, thank you for your videos! I am mounting a new SONY car radio in my FR-V and I have a problem with the connection of the steering wheel controls. On the interface, there are only 2 wires to plug into the original socket: a black and a purple. But the colors do not correspond with the original steering wheel control socket (the green socket) which also has many more wires. Can you tell me on which electrical wires I should connect the 2 purple and black wires of the interface? Thank you so much. Nigel
Hi Keith same question on my end I've just connected a pioneer double din however my green connector has about 8 different colours on there, the adapter doesn't fit either so I need to chop off the green connector and connect the black and purple wires however I am unsure as to which colours on the green adapter to connect the black and purple, if you could assist with this it would be a massive help. Many thanks in advance

@@Arthurmoodley Hello Arthur, I managed to fix the problem and everything is working fine for me. In fact, you must use the Orange wire (GND) and the Brown wire (SW1) from your original socket. The Black wire of your adapter therefore goes on the Orange and your Purple wire goes on the Brown wire. I have not found what the other wires of the green socket are for (auxiliary socket? Original CD player?). No one knew how to tell me. I put you the link of the video which allowed me to solve this problem (look at the comments and towards the end of the video, we see the connection). Good luck ! czcams.com/video/fGUINMREvEA/video.html
@@nicolasg2770 cheers mate, I literally tried this out last night and it worked, happy days, didn't cut off the green plug though, just stripped the wire and grabbed the signal. Thanks for replying mate have a good one.
Hey I am trying to get the parts together. Difficult but am trying. I have a standard aux plug in my dashboard, I believe it is also connected by the green plug. How about those to keep working, and ehat is the function of all the wires in the green plug, who can tell me that. Is ther3 an electric scheme?
mate these videos are ace! im not very competent with auto electrics. ill go through all your videos and write down the part numbers. id be happy to come to Dudley for you to stick this in for me mate? if you want a job doing it let me know
Happy to help dude. Post your email and I'll DM you

Зачёт.
hi keith, think i'll do this as well - If i've followed along the FRV wiring stays the same (no wire cutting/ splicing), apart from the Green SWC wire, I need to cut off the FRV connector on that on the car and connect it to the Connects2 device (are the SWC wires colour coded as well?)
Unfortunately you will need 2 connectors and you will need to splice them. I've tried 2 different methods and the splicing one is the only one that fully works. h-tune.co.uk/club/guides/fr-v-steering-wheel-control-interface.1634/
@@keithmcmanus6650 thanks keith - i'm going to gather the parts and go for it. wish me luck.
Link for the radio tablet?
Hi Keith, thanks again for your response. Can I confirm for the reverse camera you plugged the RCA into the rear of stereo and red (power) wire to the rear reverse wire from head unit wire harness and ground to somewhere safe to ground and we signing and dancing when you put it into reverse?
Better still, if you would be willing to take the job of helping me install. Please contact me on ahmed_r@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks in advance
On the back of my stereo there is a green wire labelled reversing camera and I grounded it off the lights. You can connect it to the red power wire on the back of the stereo but mine had a dedicated wire. I did check a couple of DIY vids on youtube as I was going to use the power wire at first. It's harder hiding the wires than connecting it up to be honest.
@@keithmcmanus6650 thanks Keith and where did you locate and connect to the reverse bulb wire?
Thanks in advance
@@MrR11vat I stripped back some of the insulation to expose the wires. You can pull the bulb housing out from the panel in the boot. Use a multi meter to check power, you might need someone to put the car in reverse. Or if you can't do that it is easier to use the reg plate bulb. The wires are coloured and easier to identify
@@keithmcmanus6650 if I use the reg plate bulb, will it still create a 'trigger' when I put it into reverse?
Hi Keith, can I just ask what stereo you installed and how did you get the reverse camera working with the gear knob in reverse? Many thanks.
I have a pioneer avh stereo. The camera connects to the positive on your reverse bulb and to a wire on the back of the stereo.
@@keithmcmanus6650 hi what's the model number on your pioneer stereo please? Thanks

@@keithmcmanus6650 many thanks for your videos. By the way I'm picking up my frv today which I purchased. Its 2007 and reg ends with HSZ.
Hi Keith any chance of some links so i can make sure i buy the correct cables.
Sure. The adapter you need is this connects2.com/Product/ProductItem/CTSHO001.2
You can buy a standard fit which you solder to it here rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F172025240029
Hey how about the 8wires on the small plug
Hi Keith, I've watched your videos and they been very informative and ive now built up the courage to give it a go. I want to ask if you can guide me with the best loom starting off that will not require any altering for steering controls. The unit I plan to use is pioneer sph 230DAB. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance
Hello, you'll just need a standard connector that you can get off Ebay, they're the same as the CR-V ones heres a link from ebay for you www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350832770072
I am in birmingham , can you help me getting the steering wheel camera on my frv?
I could, but it's not a very good time at the moment. I have some personal issues for the next couple of months to deal with.
Dear Keith, I have a Honda FR-V and I would like to upgrade my audio system but I am not a DIY person. Would you be able to help me with this? Thank you so much.
If you leave your email I'll contact you
Keith McManus hi, thank you for your reply. My email address is nasim.mr@gmail.com
Hi Mr please do I buy the strero
What size Are Your radio ?
7 inch double din
Ok
My radio is a Pioneer mvh-a210bt is it the same as your’s ?? It Cannot fit whit the frame i Got from Honda it’s the black frame That comes whit the radio that wont fit
@@jeanettehagenandersen9717 it's very similar to mine. It should fit if you have the correct stereo surround and the cage that connects to the back, the stereo should screw directly to it. Check my other video to check if your parts match.
Okay
It fit directly into The metal frame..
it’s just the black frame from Pioneer That’s to Big for the Hole in the frame from Honda
Can you send me the name of Your radio? You Can see the name whit some numbers Down in the right corner
Duuuude you have a posh edix my edix doesn't come with working steering wheel controls
