Why Choose This Product?
The 70-1720T brings the Civic’s original radio connections to the wiring for an aftermarket receiver, helping simplify the vehicle-side connection. Its factory keyless-entry integration is a key consideration for Civic owners choosing a radio harness for a vehicle with that system.
Use the color-coded leads to connect or solder the harness to your aftermarket radio. This setup keeps the radio-side wiring step separate from the vehicle’s original connector plugs.
