Review: 2013 Honda Ridgeline Sport - I typically don’t leave reviews but I know this might help someone doing their own audio project. I own a 2013 Honda Ridgeline sport that had the factory head unit in place. I ordered a aftermarket head unit with the Metra 70-1721 wiring harness that desertcart said fit my vehicle, after puting in my vehicle information that was not the case and this part Metra 70-1729 was indeed the correct wiring harness need for this specific model of Ridgeline. So, even though it states it does not fit your 2013 Honda Ridgeline, always double check by removing your factory unit first and checking which wiring harness connector you’ll need but after finding out the long way, this does indeed work for this model vehicle and is a quick install. Hope this helps!
Review: Great - Just what I needed to install an inexpensive aftermarket stereo in my 2009 Honda Fit. The socket fit great and the wire colors matched perfectly, so it was a straightforward installation. This was my first time looking under the dash of the car, and I found it a little confusing to figure out everything I needed before opening up the dash, so here's a quick explanation to hopefully save other first-time installers some trouble. Your Honda (or, insert car brand of choice) came with a custom cable that the factory made to plug a stock Honda stereo into a Honda car. Basically it's a bunch of wires with [Honda stereo plug] on one end, and [Honda car plug] on the other end. Your aftermarket stereo is open to being plugged into any car, and most cheap aftermarket stereo brands probably don't invest the resources into manufacturing a special [Stereo Brand]-to-[Car Brand] cable for every possible car brand out there. Instead, you buy a [Car Brand] wiring harness like this one, and solder it to the [Stereo Brand] wiring harness that came with your stereo, to make your own custom [Stereo Brand]-to-[Car Brand] cable. You may also want to buy a radio wiring harness, if you ever want to use your radio.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for newer hondas
*by C***N on July 13, 2017*

This is a great little product for installing an aftermarket radio in your newer Honda. This part fits directly into a harness in the car that used to plug into your Honda's factory radio. By connecting this to your aftermarket radio's harness, installation is easier, removal later is easier, and everything is nice and neat. In fact, I did all the wiring in my home. It's extra easy because the colored wires also have text printed on them explaining the wire's purpose (illumination, power, left channel, etc). Modern cars use controls on a steering wheel, and this harness is not going to help with that. You'll need another part. Also, a lot of modern cars, including newer Hondas, use a proprietary AM/FM antenna, and you'll need an adapter for that. But with inexpensive parts like this, swapping out a radio in a lot of cars is an easy, Do-It-Yourself task. All I wanted was Android Auto, and after test driving a brand new Honda decided I could get a better product simply by upgrading my old reliable (and paid off) car for less than a single car payment.
