Description
Comprehensive Honda CANBUS SWC Interface Factory Reverse Camera (3 Adjustable Angles), AUX, USB, Antenna, and Amplifier All Retained
Product Overview
The Aerpro ASHO8C is a CANBUS steering wheel control interface for Honda vehicles that goes well beyond standard SWC retention. In addition to factory steering wheel audio controls, the ASHO8C retains the factory reverse camera with 3 adjustable viewing angles, factory AUX input, factory USB input, factory antenna, and the factory amplifier. It also provides amp remote, reverse trigger, park brake, speed pulse, and illumination outputs making it the most complete Honda-specific SWC integration in the Aerpro range covered here.
The harness uses a vehicle-specific plug connecting directly to the factory Honda wiring without cutting, and includes an antenna adaptor, reverse camera retention adaptor, and AUX/USB retention leads. The aftermarket head unit must be SWC compatible, and USB retention requires the head unit to have a rear USB input; AUX retention requires an RCA connection at the head unit.
Features & Benefits
-
CANBUS SWC interface — no cutting required — reads factory Honda steering wheel control data from the CANBUS network; vehicle-specific plug connects directly to factory wiring without splicing
-
Factory reverse camera retained with 3 adjustable angles — the factory reverse camera is preserved via RCA reverse camera input on the head unit, with three selectable viewing angles adjustable through the interface; the aftermarket head unit must have an RCA reverse camera input
-
Factory AUX input retained — AUX retention connects via RCA input on the aftermarket head unit; available on factory-fitted AUX-equipped Honda models
-
Factory USB input retained — USB retention connects via the rear USB input on the aftermarket head unit; available on factory-fitted USB-equipped Honda models
-
Factory antenna retained — the included antenna adaptor converts the Honda factory aerial plug to the standard DIN aerial plug used by aftermarket head units
-
Factory amplifier retained — the factory Honda amplified audio system is preserved after installation
-
Amp remote output (Yes) — provides a 12V trigger output to switch on an external aftermarket amplifier; one of the few Honda SWC interfaces in the Aerpro range to include this output
-
Reverse trigger output (purple) — signals the head unit to display reverse camera when vehicle is in reverse
-
Park brake output (green) — connects to the head unit's park brake input for CarPlay/Android Auto activation
-
Speed pulse output (pink) — provides vehicle speed data for compatible head units
-
Illumination output — automatic display dimming when vehicle lights are on
-
Pairs with Aerpro APP8 harness (sold separately) — the APP8 Head Unit Secondary ISO Harness provides clean ISO connectivity between the ASHO8C and the aftermarket head unit

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "3 adjustable angles" for the reverse camera mean?
Rather than a fixed single rear view, the ASHO8C interface provides three selectable viewing angle modes for the factory Honda reverse camera — typically a standard rear view, a wide view, and a close-up or guide-line view. These can be switched through the interface, giving the driver flexibility in how they use the reversing camera. The specific angle options available depend on the factory Honda camera system in the vehicle.
How is AUX and USB retention achieved — does the factory port location change?
AUX and USB retention in the ASHO8C works by routing the factory Honda AUX/USB port signals through to the aftermarket head unit's inputs, rather than keeping them at the original factory port location. The aftermarket head unit must have a rear USB input for USB retention, and a rear RCA input for AUX retention. The factory port connector itself may or may not remain in its original position depending on the installation — your installer can advise on the specific routing for your vehicle.
What does the amp remote output do and when is it needed?
The amp remote output provides a 12V switched signal that turns on an external aftermarket amplifier when the head unit powers up. If you have an aftermarket amplifier installed alongside or replacing the factory amp, this output supplies the turn-on trigger without needing to run a separate remote wire from the head unit. The factory amplifier is also retained separately through the OEM amplifier retention path.
How does the ASHO8C compare to the ASHO7C and ASHO13C?
The ASHO7C and ASHO13C are Honda harnesses with confirmed SWC, camera retention, and antenna adaptor, but with limited published specification data. The ASHO8C has full spec data: CANBUS interface type, Patch Lead H, all outputs listed, and explicitly retains camera (3 angles), AUX, USB, antenna, and amplifier. The ASHO8C is the most comprehensively specified Honda SWC interface in the Aerpro range covered here. Confirm which is correct for your specific Honda using the Aerpro Vehicle Selector.
Which Honda models does this suit?
The supplier data does not specify which Honda models or years the ASHO8C covers. Use the Aerpro Vehicle Selector with your specific Honda model and year to confirm the ASHO8C is the correct interface before purchasing.
