Good night. Do the lights on the keyboard (options and numbers) on the front of the radio turn on? Since mine doesn't turn on, only the screen. 

the video is very informative. Thanks a lot!

Awesome!atl

where can I buy this

lol kermit

Excellent video and a good step by step walk through.

; ()

he didn't list where did he buy the unit would of been really helpful if he listed it on the description!!

I only came to read the comments

tape deck sounds like garbage....

too many cut aways lol

There have been some comments regarding the cost and utility of the USA spec box vs buying and aftermarket radio that is iPod ready. This is a fair question, especially given that nowadays pretty much everything comes iPod ready. In this case, there were three reasons why I decided to use the box. Although the main one is the first one. 1. The original stereo on that civic controls the alarm. Without it, then you have to redo the alarm as well which may add $$ and inconvenience. 2. The box does the DAC conversion and quality is very good (this may be true of some aftermarket stereos too). 3. You can use the stereo buttons to control the iPod, this is safer as it lets you do changes while driving without having to look or touch the iPod screen. You can potentially do this with some aftermarket stereos. I also like the fact that the cable goes somewhere else and you don't have the usb cable on the face of the stereo hanging around.

How can i remove ( i want to repair ) the clock!?!? Thanks in advance!

Anyone know where he got the cables from

What CD player did you install? That CD player looks OEM, but I am not aware of a separate unit (like the cassette player) for the 96 - 98 Civic. Is it from an Odysey? Did you do any mods to get it to work?

Hey man. I've been looking different videos trying to find someone that shows how to replace a stero on a Honda civic 97. Since this is the closer thing to what I really need, could you please tell me what I need to replace it? The stereo I'm planning to get is a Dual XD5250, but I don't want to buy it and probably miss to buy a cable or like that frame that should go on the dashboard after I install it. Please help me!

Saved me a bunch of time with the removal of the old h.u. Thanks

What are the advantages of doing this over getting a stereo with a USB input for an iPod? These adapters looked pretty expensive on ipodcarpros.

Mine has a cassette player, so I just got an aux tape :D

Thank you! This was the most helpful video on installing the usa spec pa15-toy.

wow thx alot man

Very helpful, FYI, this connector can be reached thru the HVAC controls hole without removing the head unit....saves a bunch of time and potential broken clips....at least on a 2005 Camry.

you reseted the engine ecu by unplugging the battery cable normally its advisable to make the engine idle from almost warm normal operating temp until radiator fan comes on twice, without touching anything .. all electrical off and no taps in accelerator pedal

i have an old alpine 6 cd changer and a stock cassette player in my 96 civic. can i just hook the 6 cd changer to the back of the cassette player accessory gray connector or do i have to remove the cassette connector and hook up the 6 cd changer straight to the radios accessory gray connector someone please help me

FASTER SOLUTION: buy stereo with aux...install connect cable to ipod

nice video!! I used iSimple Manufacturer Part Number:PXHCH2-PXDX its the cheapest one i found Thanks

Nice tutorial. Wish I had found this video before I paid someone to install one of these for me. FYI, if you want, you can mount the white box behind the console, then drill a little hole in the back of the cubby hole to pass the wire through that connects to the ipod. That way you don't have the white box taking up valuable space in the cubby hole! It's a little extra work and may require some extra tools but it's worth it to have the extra space.

Really helpful video! I'll be swapping out my stock CD player for a new one, and this will save me at least the $90 that friggin' Best Buy was going to charge... You are a lifesaver!

I can't get the cord through the center compartment! The cord won't go through the little hole on the side.. the cord is too big and won't pass through? how do you pull off the door?

Nice video thank you

Thanks so much for this! I want to try and do this myself, but know NOTHING about care stereo installation.. Is the PA15TOY better for a 2006 Camry than the PA12-TOY I thought the PA12-TOY gave more flexibility for the user interface, (shows up text on screen, and can use wheel controls) but I don't know.

Would this work if i just wanna replace the stock stereo with a aftermarket one? do i have to do all those steps of removing the driver side panel and glove box or can i just remove the cover over the cig lighter?

I didn't know they made these things, I want one. Where can get one ? Does best buy sells them ?

Thank you so much. This helped me a lot in removing the panels.

@age6racers does this work with iphone 4?

does this work with iphone 4?

Does this work with iphone 4?

@age6racers The PA15TOY does not have a DIP switch. You actually choose the operating mode by changing the "CD number" from the radio. When using "CD 7", it operates in "playlist" mode. When using "CD 8" it operates in "Direct mode". Hope this helps.

EXCELLENT tutorial!!!!!

What were your DIP switch settings for using direct mode? Thanks

Very helpful. Thanks much.

Thanx a lot dude. You have really helped me.

thank you so much this is really helpfull ill try to change my head unit of my honda civiv 97 after i saw this vedio i know how to do it you are a good man:)

@AntiRellik Unfortunately I don't think that would work. The CD input is not the same as an auxiliary input. The CD input in fact is more complex as it supports bidirectional communication with the stereo. The adaptor box uses this input and "translates" the communication between the iPod and the stereo. You could check Crutchfield or iPodCarPros to check for other brands that may be available in your area. Good luck!

Would a cable connected to the rear of the stereo (where the CD player is supposed to connect) that has a female 3.5mm jack on the other side work? I just want a female headphone jack, cause I can't get that interface to my country.

great video thanks! I am about to install a new stereo in my '96 civic and to actually see the panels being pulled out was quite helpful, especially the tool (which i'm going to now buy). thx again

@flakey712 you can get them either from Crutchfield or from iPodCarPros.

can you send me a link to where you bought the connectors??

Great video man, It really helped me a lot!

sweet video
