Just to clear things up.. I read all the posts relating to this before I attempted it... and many of you make it sound harder than it really is.

Honda does not sell the connector that goes into head unit for the lane watch individually. I checked metra, ebay, etc, and none of them have this connector and the pins.. so you'll either have to go to a scrapyard and get a cutout from an EX, or you can just get 6 jumper wires and pin them individually to the male pins in the head unit.

All it took was 6 jumper wires that connected from the head unit to the corresponding wires on the side mirrors. No modification to the door harness at all. I tapped the lane watch specific wires on the side mirror with positaps and connected them to the head unit. That's it.

If anyone is interested in a video with this working on an LX, let me know.

Yes, trying to identify any connectors for the back of the Radio is difficult. I have spent hours trying, and finally gave up .. was wasting too much time, so I bit the Bullet and ordered the whole harness.
Actually, the online price was not too bad, and gave all all the connectors + quite a few more, so , I suspect, far less than just purchase a few of them separately.
However, still waiting for the Harness ... would appear not to be a readily available part, and the dealer is having to go back & forth with the factory to get it.

Anyone know what make/type the connectors are ??

Those gray connectors are Sumitomo Connectors, it's possible to find new in japan included with pins. Not easy to find someone to ship for you. If not scrapyard will be an option.

I got a bunch of them to Retrofit the Radio. (https://www.civicx.com/threads/diy-retrofit-hondalink-to-lx-sport.15805/page-3)

What worries me is how do you wire the Indicator stalk. Any Diagrams? (For the Mirror and for the Stalk)?

From the diagram -

Yellow wire from Side mirror -> Pin 20 referencing to Head Unit Connector B.
Black "" -> Pin 21
Orange "" -> Pin 22
Maroon "" -> Pin 23

Red "" -> Pin 8
White "" -> Pin 9

Once these are connected, LaneWatch will be activated on right turn signal. No modifications to any settings or messing around with the head unit at all. It just works.

If you're looking for the always on function, you either need to buy a turn signal column switch from a EX or higher trim with the button or a regular switch. Whichever one you choose, signal will be pinned to Pin 6.

I was quoted about $70 CAD for the column switch, which imo is not worth it for that extra button. Initially, I had a switch to turn it on and off, but now I'm thinking of mapping the ECON button instead. I drive a manual so hand is always on center console anyways.

How much was the entire harness? From my understanding, you'll need the harness that connects from the head unit to the door hinge, and the entire door harness because the LX and EX do not share the same connector at the door hinge.

Hi tqi123 do you have other diagram of power mirror connector?

trying to retrofit as you have done, but the color didn't match the diagram.

You can have the individual pins from JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics) and also the 24 pin connector ( probably you won't need because you have already on your car/head unit).

But here are the par numbers:
24 pin connector = MX34024SF1 (just the plastic)
Just the internal Pins = M34S75C4F2

I too would like to see a video. If you've made one, please share. The US model CTR doesn't come with lane watch. I'm considering trying to retrofit the setup. Thanks

I have the same question and connector. Does anyone have the pinout for this connector?
I have a 17 Touring Coupe, and I've noticed for the past month whenever it rains, I switch to the AUTO wiper feature, and it does one swipe. I change the sensitivity to the maximum level, and it still only does the first initial wipe. Even when driving, the windshield gets to the point of not being able to see, and it won't ever wipe. I have to either have the medium speed wipe, or I have to switch up and have it swipe once whenever I need it.
