Default MY02 with DCI and Rear Speakers

So I plugged in my DCI to my Alpine deck, everything is great except that I have added rear speakers behind my seats and not the factory harness is not wired to connect properly to them.

Because I don't feel like cutting Modifry's nice new harness and splicing my rear speaker wires to it, how would I go about inserting the wires into the dash-side of the harness? As there pins I can pick up somewhere and solder to the wires, then insert them into the Honda factory harness to which the Modifry harness is connected?

Also, I am unsure which pins on the factory harness match up to the Modifry harness side for the right and left rear, both + and -. I should be able to figure that one out though by following wires from the deck itself through the harnesses.

Anyone have thoughts on this? I would like to keep this as clean as possible so it seems that connecting my rear wires on the dash harness itself will achieve this, and allow me to even return to a stock head unit if I desired and maintain my rears.

well the alpine harness is color coated for the rears... purple and green..... you can grab the connectors from the dealership by buying a factory harness replacement with the wiring.

Hmmm...I'm not sure that I actually want a replacement harness though. Literally just the pins that get crimped/soldered to the wire, then click in to place in the current Honda harness. If I'm not mistaken, that harness is the large dash harness which costs something along the lines of $500+ and is way overkill for what I need.

All of my original wiring is intact, I just need to add 4 wires to the factory harness to get the rear channels going.

Thanks on the colors for the rears! Purple for left, green for right?

I've been able to remove wire/pins from one adapter harness and put
them in another; I'm guessing you could buy one like this

and pull out the four wired pins and push them into the car's harness.

I suppose I could do that, not to be overly cheap, just seems like a waste to spend $10+ to get 4small metal contacts, but oh well.

go to a junk yard and cut the harness out of a car... I didn't mean grab the entire dash harness....

For example , when someone's radio is stolen from their car and the theif cuts the harness I send them to the dealership to get the factory plug... it usually costs $10.... of you could just tape into modrify's harness and pay nothing.

Good call! I'm tracking down a mashed up civic or something and snipping that beyotch out.

Even if I could find a wrecked S, why destroy the rare harness I just can't.
