What colors are the 2019 accord wires needed to connect an Lc7i to the factory radio? (Wire harnesses are elusive for 10th gen it seems)...

Which model do you have. Have you looked at the pass through harness on ebay(if you have a sport or the 8 speaker system)?

Thank you. I have the EX and I just found that Crutchfield and a PDF for the wire colors. "JustAnswer.com" has the PDF.

24Pin Full Pins Wire Harness For Honda Accord Aux CD Changer Navigation 15CM | eBay. If you get this you can get the wires you need without actually hacking up the factory wiring. You can just take the wires from this and send them to your lc71. It's cheap and this was less possible damage to the factory wires.

As long as the ex version is the 8 speaker system. Yep and think, no sunroof means no sunroof leaks.

I'm trying to find info on adding a sub to my factory system. What does the Lc7i actually do? Does it make the factory speakers sound better? I know it have output for a sub on it, but just curious what the benefits of the Lc7i actually were. I've seen and heard alot about them but never seen one installed. TIA!
In short: It's a line output converter - meaning you'd route existing speaker wires to it from the factory radio and it converts it to a level that an amplifier that doesn't have high level inputs can handle.
In long: You want to run an amplifier (for a sub or components or whatnot), but you also want to use the factory radio since most factory radios can't be replaced these days with aftermarket ones that would have amp outputs. With a factory radio, the only audio that comes out is from the wires that go to the speakers - but those wires are carrying already amplified audio from the factory amp and some aftermarket amplifiers can't handle already amplified (called high level) sources. So, you need a line output converter to step down the amplification before sending that signal to your amplifier of choice. There are aftermarket amps that can handle high level inputs, but it all depends on what you're trying to build, budget, space, etc
The LC7i changes the high voltage to a lower voltage for an aftermarket amplifier to work with the signals just like a cheap Line out Converter (LOC). But this where the LC7i really shines. It has Accubass plus a subwoofer bass knob input, and it can do signal sensing in order to turn on your amp without running a remote wire. Since we cannot change out our Honda radio it has an EQ curve in and when you turn up the music it takes out the low frequency's to save the cheap Honda speakers. Accubass puts that signal back in. What you want to do is run the front speakers input from the HU to the channel two input on the LC7i since it will have a both the high and low frequency. Then open up the lid on the LC7i and sum the channel 3 with the channel 2 in order to make a subwoofer channel for you amplifier as described in the Audio Control LC7i manual. You then run the rear channels from the HU to the main input on the LC7i. I know it sounds backwards. Then you run RCA cables to your amps from the LC7i front, rear, sub to the amps front rear sub. If your amp does not have a bass knob you can buy the bass knob for the LC7i and will work the same. While you have the cover off of the LC7i you can move the jumpers to signal sensing or leave it. I used a metra online T Harness that was plug and play in order to get the speaker signal I believe the part was AXDSPH-HN2. All you do is pull the radio unplug the car wire harness then plug it into the Metra harness and plug the Metra harness into the radio. Then cut the ends off of the small wire harness of the Metra piece and splice your speaker inputs and outputs to the LC7i and to your amplifier by using 9wire. But this solution only works on the basic 8 speaker system mids and tweets in the doors and rear deck "No Stock Sub woofer".

I also have a 2020 Sport and my install includes an LC7i with a Kicker CXA660.5 (5-channel) amp. If don't mind, please clarify your note about "sum the channel 3 with the channel 2 in order to make a subwoofer channel for you amplifier". I'm not sure if you are referring to actually summing signals or to the AutoMode feature. This AutoMode automatically feeds channel 2 signal to the channel 3 output to drive a sub, but the LC7i already comes with AutoMode enabled by default, so that's what confuses me a bit about your note. I'm not even sure if, for our cars, we do need to enable the summing of signals when we use the LC7i.
The image below shows the internal jumper configuration as they come from factory. I colored the jumpers for Output Summing (red and blue), AutoMode (green) and GTO (orange) for ease of reading. Please let me know if had to change any of those for your setup.

My terminology might be off but here are some pictures of my jumper settings

Got it. It looks like all the jumpers are in the default/factory positions, other than the the GTO, which shows on the OFF position, so you can use the actual remote wire to turn on the LC7i and the amp.
I did not change any of the jumpers settings on my setup. The LC7i is being turned on by the speaker signal and, from there, I remoted out to turn the amp on.
Thank you for the pictures.

No problem. Just be sure to connect your rear speakers to the main channels and your front speakers inputs to channel 2 of the LC7I to get a better signal so it will feed a great bass signal to the sub channel of the LC7I.

Yep, that's exactly how I have my speaker front & rear input connections into the LC7i. However, I reversed my front and rear RCA output connections from LC7i into front and rear RCA inputs of the amp. That way, the processed signal out from the rear RCA output of the LC7i (which is from the HU front speakers) goes back to the front speakers amp input and out to the front speakers.
