Retain OEM Amplifier - Retain OEM USB Input - Bypass OEM Amplifier - Retain Factory Steering Wheel Controls - Honda Wiring Harness
Retaining the factory amplifier is the easiest option when replacing a factory radio. In some vehicles retaining the factory amplifier is the only option. But your new stereo's sound is limited to what the factory amplifier's out capabilities are.
When replacing your factory radio with an aftermarket radio you will want to most likely retain your OEM USB port. Factory USB retention harnesses make this very easy with a simple plug and play connector so you don't have to splice power, ground and USB signals to USB connector that your new aftermarket radio can use.
Bypassing the factory amplifier is a more difficult undertaking but provides the best sound quality gain. When bypassing, it takes a more work because you have to run the bypass harness to the factory amplifier, which is often located in some other part of the car. Bypassing the factory amplifier will require an aftermarket amplifier or using the aftermarket radio's internal amplifier.
Retaining your factory steering wheel controls when replacing your factory radio with an aftermarket radio is extremely important for safety and easy of use. Factory steering wheel retention harnesses make this very easy with a simple plug and play connector so you don't have to splice power, ground and steering wheel signals to aftermarket interface that your new aftermarket radio can use.
