Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 2019–2026 Honda Passport wiring the same as the Honda Pilot?
Yes. The 3rd generation Passport shares its platform with the 3rd generation Pilot (2016–2022), and the radio wiring architecture is essentially identical between the two vehicles. The same harness adapters, SWC retention interfaces, and amplifier bypass harnesses that apply to the 3rd gen Pilot apply to the 3rd gen Passport. This makes parts sourcing straightforward, as Pilot-compatible components are widely available.
Does the 2019–2026 Honda Passport support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included on Sport and above trims of the 3rd generation Passport. The base Sport trim includes both features via the factory Display Audio system. Wireless CarPlay became available on higher trims starting with the 2022 model year. The EX-L and Elite trims include larger touchscreen displays compared to Sport, but all CarPlay and Android Auto functionality is the same across equipped trims.
Where is the factory amplifier in a 2019–2026 Honda Passport Elite?
The Elite trim of the 3rd generation Passport includes a factory-amplified premium audio system. The amplifier is located in the rear cargo area behind the driver’s side interior trim panel — the same location as the 3rd gen Pilot Elite’s amplifier. Sport and EX-L trims use a passive, non-amplified speaker configuration. When replacing the head unit in an Elite Passport, a dedicated Amplifier bypass harness is required in addition to the standard radio harness adapter.
How do I retain steering wheel audio controls when replacing the radio in a 2019–2026 Honda Passport?
The 3rd generation Passport uses Honda’s CAN-bus steering wheel control system across all trims with SWC buttons. A CAN-bus compatible retention interface such as the iDatalink ADS-MSW or PAC SWI-CP2 is required. Because the Passport shares its platform with the 3rd gen Pilot, any SWC interface confirmed to work with the 2016–2022 Pilot will also work with the Passport. Standard resistive SWC interfaces are not compatible with the CAN-bus system used in this generation.
What size are the factory door speakers in a 2019–2026 Honda Passport?
The 3rd generation Passport uses 6 1/2″ Speakers in the front door panels across all trims. Rear door speakers are also 6 1/2″ Speakers. Elite trims with the premium audio system include A-pillar tweeters in addition to the door speakers. Because the Passport shares its door panel architecture with the 3rd gen Pilot, speaker fitment information confirmed for the Pilot applies directly to the Passport as well. Standard 6 1/2″ Aftermarket Speakers are a direct fit in all door locations on non-amplified trims.
