To make the harness, snip each repair wire in half. The pin terminal end will be inserted into the 54-
pin connector. The bare end can then be stripped of insulation and crimped into the small pins
supplied with the male DB25 connector. These small pins may simply be snapped into the correct
openings (based on the wiring chart) in the male DB25 connector. Once all the connections are made,
the 54-pin connector can be assembled by sliding the blue inner portion into the black outer shell.
The DB25 connector may also be assembled by attaching the connector hood to protect the wire-to-
pin connections. The final product is shown in the picture below. Also notice below that the CANbus
wires do not connect to the DB25 connector. These two wires must be connected to the CANbus in
your vehicle. As described in Section 2 of this document, there are CANbus wire pairs already
available in the trunk if the satellite radio tuner was installed. CANbus is not available within the
DB25 telephone connector already installed. For this installation, a spare CANbus pair was used from
the CAT5 cable that is connected to the CANbus distribution panel (see separate install guide on
www.nsxjr.com
) in the vehicle. Another option is to splice into the CAN H and CAN L wires that
supply that satellite radio tuner if installed. If neither of these options are available, please follow the
instructions in section 2.4 of this document to install a new CANbus wire pair into the trunk.
The picture below shows a two pin white Molex disconnect plug installed onto the CANbus wire
pair. This step is not required, but does facilitate quick connection and disconnection of the entire
custom wiring harness. To install without this plug, simply connect the CANbus wires from the
vehicle to the correct pins on the 54-pin connector.
