Did you have any trouble connecting the adapters? It looks like the pins on the AX-SUB28SWC are longer and little thicker than the original maybe?
Thanks!

koopatroopa you're not alone...
I'm having the same issue right now. The pins on the SUB28SWC definitely might be thicker and/or crooked right out of the box (bag). Maybe different production runs have different tolerances?
There's even a review on Amazon that mentions the buyer had to realign all of the pins.
I might de-pin the entire thing, plug in the connectors, and then reinsert the pins while the white connectors are already perfectly seated (if they seat).
Edit: 3/16/2017: I got this 28 pin harness to work by doing exactly what I said I would try.
1. Took a picture of where all pins currently were.
2. Removed all of them.
3. Put the harness together.
4. Using the picture as a guide, inserted all pins where they should be again.
Note: These pins are indeed a little thicker than the ones in the stock radio but they do fit. If anyone reading this is running into the same problem make sure that the pin is completely straight before inserting them into the harness.
I found that some were indeed crooked...like the 10 year old in China that was putting this together was getting sleepy while working from being overworked or something. This was by far the worst fitting harness I've ever had to use in all my years of working on car stereos but you can get it to work. I'm sure that not all are this bad or even have a problem to begin with though...I just wasn't as lucky as others.
