-------------------ORIGINAL POST BELOW--------------------------

I came across these documents with tons and tons of information concerning every addon about our stereo systems and all stereo systems, regular, premium, and navigation.

Hopefully this can be pinned and help everyone out.

I probably can't do this all in one sitting there is so much information, so here we go. If you'd like anything specific, post and I'll see if I can find it.

Here are pictures of where the components are listed on each car (Sedan and Coupe)

Sedan

Coupe

All of this information is taken from a 2008 Honda Civic! From what i can tell though, all 06+ Civics follow this system.

Regular Stereo System (Not Premium, No amplifier)

Premium Stereo System (With Amplifier)

Navigation System (With Amplifier)

XM Receiver

Stereo Amplifier (Coupe and Sedan Pinouts are the same)

Auxiliary Jack

Pinout Tables

Note: The P after a number denotes the number of pins in the connecter (IE 17P = 17 pin connector)

Abbreviations
Det = Detection (This is a guess, I'm trying to make these a bit more clear, it isn't specified :S)
SIG = Signal
GND = Ground
SGND = Signal Ground (When there are 2 grounds, this is a guess again though)
