AC/Radio control modification
 

I thought I had previously found a resource or at least some pics of how this was done. I don't recall exactly as I saved it to my bookmarks to look at a later date. I've since lost those bookmarks (that's another story). I can't seem to find it via searching on here or on google.

I believe someone had modified or cut the circuit board for the radio/ac controls to retain the factory ac controls (not JDM controls) but in a manner that removed the factory stereo but kept the ac controls. Then modifying the console to fit a double din, LCD screen, etc. I could have sworn I had a link to this procedure.

I work on electronics for a living so the soldering and adding/removing of components wouldn't be an issue. I was just curious if this had been done before or if I just totally conjured this up in my mine...haha. The only reason I'd be interested in going this route is because I'd be doing a custom setup and if I can do this without purchasing the JDM controls or a dash kit I could use those savings towards other goodies in the install.

If anyone can steer me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

Ok, there must be several different harnesses on the G models, because I can't find an exact one like your last pic, or one like the one that came with the instructions. I did find one with the wires in the same pins as the instructions, so I would think this is the correct harness? First pic is the instructions, second pic is the harness in my car.
