i said cut both to limit possible damage to the headliner when trying to unplug the back.

I knew I had seen this answered before, guess I'll have to disconnect mic in the rear instead of cutting small white wire up front--> WIRES

I was talking to a coworker (who is also a Honda owner) and describing ANC. He had an interesting question. The ANC should NOT be running when the vehicle is off (e.g., when on the key is in the "accessory" position). The logic is that it would unnecessarily run the battery down, or reduce the charge level if on for a long time. That started me wondering whether they do switch off ANC while the vehicle is not running. Does anyone know? If there is a way to shut it off while not running, and we KNOW there is a way to listen to the stereo when the car is not running, then there is probably a way to sense the running state, and this is probably fed to the radio. It could be that disabling that sensor could be a low-impact way of disconnecting the ANC (without cutting wires, pulling back headliner, etc.).

Anyone know much about this?

My guess, when the power is on, ANC is active-->

Unfortunately,you are probably right - the most inconvenient situation is usually the one you are stuck with. Does anyone know of any actual technical resources on the head unit and hookup?

1. How did you tie the tweeters into the 4-speaker system? Did you use a crossover and was any volume balancing necessary?

2. Was there a wiring harness in the Sport model to accommodate these tweeters, or did you have to pull off the door panel to wire them into the door speakers?

3. Have you done any other enhancements? The Sport bass is pretty poor, too. They have the pseudo-bass response, with little sub-100 Hz reproduction. The bass controll adds a boomy 100 to 200 Hz boost, still with no real content below 100 Hz. The EX-L has a "woofer" in the middle of the back panel (probably along with an additional amp channel to drive it). I am thinking about one of these for under the seat, if it will fit. I'm not trying to make "a car that goes boom", just trying to greatly improve the lifeless audio system.

Thanks,
Dean

I have my setup in my signature I believe. I'm going for a little higher quality then simply adding some tweeter. I going aftermarket with a sound processor.

I'm not convinced we can determine that from the post.

1. With which radio version (Sport, EX-L) is this pin list associated?
2. There are some numbers I don't understand listed in the power block (e.g., "23", "13"). Are these wire counts or signal names?
3. It would be helpful to know whether ANC is active when the vehicle is stationary. The speed sensor might be the trigger for turning it on. If so, you might be able to disable ANC (but probably lose speed-sensitive volume contorl).
