Regarding the antenna adapter, my Kenwood only has one Blue/white wire on it's harness for either power antenna or amp. I'm assuming there is no separate amp in this trim level and plan on connecting that B/W wire to to Blue wire on the antenna adapter and leaving the Blue wire on the Metra harness empty.

Thoughts on this?

That's what I did blue from the adapter to blue on the radio.

I found 2 brown wires for the reverse. Which one did you tap into? 1st image appears easier to access but unsure if either wire will do or if I must tap into the one in 2nd image, much tighter and gauge appears much smaller

The reverse wire is a huge pain to get to there is a ridgeline video and he shows the wire. For that one take the lower panel off on the driver side it helps a lot.

He points out the reverse at about 7:40 in the video.

I am pretty confident I have the correct brown wire. There are 2 brown wires on the harness but I am going with the one that shows what he's pointing to.

this thing is a pain to get to

If I remember correctly there are 3 of the big plugs it was the top plug closest to the driver.

On my first attempt I tapped into the wrong brown wire it was the 2nd plug down but there were no damages it just didn't work.

That thing was a pain to get to. All setup and so far all is good. I don't have source or call pick up/hangup from steering wheel controls but that's not a big deal. I check wiring several times and everything was done based on everyones info. Man, I could never have done this one without your help and all the others that have shared info. Thanks again

Looks great glad it worked out.

The guy that did the Ridgeline video uploaded a wiring diagram that was really helpful. I went ahead and made one specific to my install with the Kenwood DMX7706S. Hopefully this will help someone else.

I’m thinking of going back in and installing an aftermarket back up camera or maybe the toggle switch. I don’t like that fishbowl view at all.

I would like to see that maybe an HD one if you can find something.

I just need to look at the wiring set up to determine what I need to keep and remove to make sure I don’t screw up SWC with pin 12 and 24 in the camera harness
