I have an 06 Honda Pilot Radio that I got from a friend I believe it has a built in 6 disc cd player and I wanted to know what if anyone had a pic of the back of thier factory 06/07 rt or rtx radios? that way I could see the wiring on the back of both so I could determine if it is worth the time and effort......... I paid nothing so far
thanks in advance.

Check this thread. (http://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2503&postcount=1) The pictures aren't super clear but I think you can get a sense of what is back there. The three connectors you see is the main connector (includes speakers, power, steering wheel controls, etc...), the XM connector and the antenna connector (the smallest one). I believe the main connector is a 20 PIN connector, the XM is a 14 PIN and the antenna has 2 PINs. I don't have my service manual in front of me so if someone out there knows better please chime in.:cool:

Thank you very much......... I will find out for sure if the 6disc is in the pilot radio or if it is merely a disc changer.......... I will keep it posted.....

Typically, most honda radios of similar size and stature(6 indash changer or regular cd player) have the same General connector. My father's 05 pilot and my 06 ridgeline(nav) have the same general connector(radio and cd player use and speaker wiring) and look the same. However, xm, and other features will provide a few changes and/or more additional wiring adapters.

Before proceeding, make sure you have the security code...:cool:

I have the security code and after taking a closer look it will not fit like the factory ridge radio so i have not proceeded with this swap..... I was just looking for a simple swap since this would not cost me anything to get me a six disc cd player but, oh well maybe I will sell it on ebay unless anyone here knows of a pilot website I could sell it on.
