Default 01 Odyssey Question

I bought the following stereo from BestBuy and installed it successfully. However, I'm not sure which wire from the car I need to connect to my harness in order to send the signal from the remote on the steering while into the stereo I recently installed.

Amazon Amazon

If anything is unclear, please tell me, I'd be happy to tell you so I can resolve this issue.

Thanks

Yes, I know that side. I'm sorry for being unclear, my question isn't about this radio. I'm wondering which wire that one needs to connect to in my odyssey, because the colors of the wires on my new radio and harness aren't the same as the factory ones.

did you purchase a separate wiring harness specifically for your car or are you using the harness that came with the stereo because the ones made for your car should be color matched nor need splicing at all it should be plug and play. you can also search the internet for wiring schematics or contact a honda dealer.

You need to buy a separate harness that only controls the steering buttons with aftermarket radio

A link would be appreciated, also that doesnt seem to make sense as i could just use the exisisting wires on my current harness that are intended for steering wheel control
