Great post. I have a 2012 Exl and bought almost identical 10.1 head unit from ebay. Everything works except there is no sounds at all and I suspect it is similar to the issue that you solved. Could you go into more detail about how solved the harness issue?

Did you get yours working?

Sadly I could not get it to work.

I located pin 21 and cut it before the 24 pin box (In the pic labeled 12CRV FY). I then connected it to the blue wire called AMP-CONT To the cut wire coming from the car not the box.

Turned on car still same as before everything works but no sound. Also tried connecting the AMP-CONT wire to the red wire coming from the cars 24 pin box (In the pic
can see above the V in 12CRV where it was cut) and that also did not work.

When i connect the two red wires back together the original unit works luckily but not really sure what to do at this point if can see anywhere I may have messed up let me know. Few questions.

Question 1.
When you cut pin 21 you were connecting the wire from the car side and not the 24 pin box correct?

Question 2
Is AMP-CONT not the correct wire? In the directions this seemed like the most logical one. I emailed the guy on ebay and his chinese to english translated message wasnt clear but I believe he was saying the blue wire was the correct one

Question 3
After you connected your did the sound come right on or did you need to change any Android settings in the HU?

I forgot to mention...
If there's nothing in the wiring harness on the new Android radio plug for pin 17, then you do need to add a jumper wire from this (17 in the Android harness) to the factory amp trigger wire (21 on the factory wire) as shown in the second pic. Then make sure the wire is connected all the way through the various Android wiring harnesses.

If you guys think it will help, I can pull my head unit out this weekend and take some more pics of my wiring.

If you have time to post pictures of your setup I would appreciate that. Still not having any luck.

Followed FinshLine's post and used the antenna (ANT) too on my unit to wake upthe amplifier, too. My unit is now fully functional now. Thanks to FinishLine for recommending such a wonderful unit.

Could you explain in more detail what you did with the ANT wire? I dont understand what you connected it to "wake" the amplifier
