Aerpro ASHO18C CANBUS SWC Interface Honda Odyssey 360 Camera

Honda Odyssey 2014-2020 CANBUS SWC Interface 360-Degree Camera System Retained, USB and Antenna Included

Product Overview

The Aerpro ASHO18C is a CANBUS steering wheel control interface specifically engineered for the Honda Odyssey (2014–2020). Beyond SWC retention, it carries over the factory reverse camera system including the 360-degree surround view, factory USB input, and factory antenna while providing reverse trigger, park brake, speed pulse, and illumination outputs.

The harness uses a vehicle-specific Honda Odyssey plug connecting directly to the factory wiring without cutting, and the kit includes an antenna adaptor, reverse camera retention adaptor, and USB retention leads.

Features & Benefits

• Honda Odyssey (2014–2020) specific — vehicle-specific plug; no cutting of factory wiring required
• CANBUS interface, Patch Lead Type H — reads factory Odyssey SWC button data from the CANBUS network and translates it to the aftermarket head unit
• 360-degree camera system retained — the factory Odyssey reverse camera including the 360-degree surround view is preserved via RCA reverse camera input on the aftermarket head unit; suits vehicles originally fitted with this system
• Factory USB input retained — carried over to the aftermarket head unit's rear USB input; requires rear USB input on the head unit
• Factory antenna retained — the included antenna adaptor converts the Odyssey factory aerial plug to the standard DIN aerial plug for aftermarket radios
• Factory parking assist not retained — the Odyssey's factory parking assist system is not retained by this interface; buyers who rely on parking assist guidance through the factory head unit should note this limitation
• Factory AUX input not retained — AUX is not included in this interface's retention capabilities
• Factory amplifier not retained — the factory Odyssey amplifier is not preserved through this interface
• Reverse trigger output (purple) — signals the head unit to display camera when 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) — recommended for clean ISO connectivity between the interface and the aftermarket head unit

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this interface retain the full 360-degree camera system or just the standard rear view?

The ASHO18C retains the factory Odyssey reverse camera including the 360-degree surround view — not just the standard rear reversing image. The factory Honda Odyssey 360-degree system (which combines multiple cameras into a bird's eye view and selectable angle display) is preserved through the camera retention adaptor and routed via the RCA reverse camera input on the aftermarket head unit. Note that the quality and extent of the 360-degree display depends on the aftermarket head unit's camera processing capabilities.

What is factory parking assist and why isn't it retained?

The Honda Odyssey's factory parking assist provides audible and visual guidance through the factory head unit during parking manoeuvres. This system is integrated into the factory SYNC/infotainment platform in a way that cannot be fully replicated through an RCA camera input to an aftermarket head unit. The reverse camera views are retained; it is the parking assist guidance system (sensors, distance readout, dynamic guidelines) that is not carried over.

How does the ASHO18C compare to the ASHO8C and ASHO15C?

The ASHO8C is an unspecified-model Honda CANBUS interface retaining camera (3 adjustable angles), AUX, USB, antenna, and amplifier. The ASHO15C is for Honda models without side camera (camera + USB + antenna, no AUX or amp). The ASHO18C is specifically for the Odyssey (2014–2020) with the 360-degree camera system, retaining 360-degree camera + USB + antenna, but not AUX or amplifier. Each targets a different Honda specification.

What head unit inputs are required to use all the retention features?

For 360-degree camera retention: the head unit must have an RCA reverse camera input. For USB retention: the head unit must have a rear USB input. Without these inputs on the aftermarket head unit, the respective retained signals have nowhere to connect — SWC and the output feeds will still function regardless.

Will the 360-degree view display correctly on any aftermarket head unit?

The camera signal is retained and passed to the head unit via RCA input, but how the 360-degree image displays depends on the head unit's video processing. Some aftermarket head units can display and manipulate the multiple camera feeds into a bird's eye composite; others will display only a single camera angle at a time. Confirm with your head unit manufacturer whether their specific model supports multi-angle Honda camera display before purchasing.
