Help installing Pioneer DEH-1900MP car stereo on my 1997 Honda Accord Sedan?

[lightwings21]

Ok, so my car got vandalized and I lost my radio. After buying another radio, installation was out of my $ range. In the end I decided to install the thing myself but I ran into this problem. There are 2 slots into which i am supposed to plug this thing in. One, is the antenna jack, and the other is the fuse. The fuse is seperated into 11 different colored wires (each wire supposedly having to be connected to the correct terminal i.e. front/rear speaker, 12V supply terminal, ignition switch etc. Thing is there are 2 fuses. One that is sticking out of the car and one that is external (transistors sticking out ready to be plugged into the other one i suppose/ or to the end of the same player. Since I dont want to ruin my car, I need to be sure where do the wires of the external fuse go? I suppose the internal fuse (thats sticking out) is already connected to everything, so is this just a simple plug and go scenerio or is there some hardwiring that is involved and out of my capability?

These aren't fuses. Go to radio shack or wal-mart and get a wiring harness for a 97 Honda Accord. You'll need to splice the colored wires from the harness to the corresponding colors that are on the back of the head unit. THen you can plug the clip coming from the dash into the wiring harness. You may also need to get an antenna adaptor as well.

Below is a link to an install guide you can use as well. It's easy to follow.

you should get an aftermarket radio harness to car adapter it comes with a wire diagram no guessing pretty easy to do get at like walmart or local parts store or audio shop
