For the guys that want to do this conversion. Do it, this tutorial is by far the best one among the others that are available right now. That said dont be fooled by how easy it looks. I just finished my conversion and it took me 2 days (having work and a hobby isnt a good combo), this guy clearly knows what hes doing. I followed the project step by step, some parts where easy some where hella hard like trimming the tray, and wiring the console. All in all the ac possition was very clean. Great video and as a guy who just finished it id like to say take your time and dont rush it. Mistakes will happen some of which you cant afford happening. Thank you man, great and clean video.
Hi mate! I feel flattered thank you for the kind words. It's so worth the conversion! Enjoy
What did you trim on the try I’m trying figure out what parts to trim to make it look clean
do you have to trim the tray? Or is it just a fitment preference
@@JCYTbrother I’m here in the states and having a hard time getting the harness APP070 everything I looked up is more in Australia and they will not ship to the US as there is something equivalent in the American market harnessed?
couldn't agree more!
Mate the quality of your videos are incredible, just started working on my '97 Civic and this seems like an incredibly useful installation. Thanks for the tutorial and the information provided.
Appreciate the kind words mate! Hope you stay for the other content!
Of the 3 videos I watched on this install this was by far the best. The relocation of the vents definitely set your install apart from the rest.
Great work Brother.
Thank you for the kind words!
great video man i dont own a civic or plan to own one but still watched the video!!! keep it up man a respray video on the civic would be cool
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! A respray video would be way out of my scope but pretty cool.... I do plan on doing most of the prepwork but I'm definitely leaving the respray itself to the professionals 😅
You should get a civic trust me there wondering cars
Mate! The wait is over, good thing I got notifications on haha, keen to do this now
hope you've got it sorted!
Thank you so much.
Your the best.
ขอบคุณมากครับ
My pleasure!
No better installation video than yours man. Great quality and on point with the explanation, duration and clips. Keep it up ❤
Thanks mate thanks for the feedback
I've already bought the screen from Joy and facia as well the wiring for my 98 honda civic thank you very much for the installation footage love it bro🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good luck with it! Enjoy!
@@JCYT thanks
Thankyou for addressing what you did for the climate control relocation, I’ve got all the bits to do this 9” conversion and stoked to have a nice how to.
No worries! hope it's helpful. it's quite easy 👍
Did the same speakers on my 96 ek hatch aswell, go pretty good
They go amazing for the price!
great work man, I'm definitely doing this to my ek !
It's awesome! Good luck with it
I am for sure gonna do this to my EK some day. Great video!
It's honestly one of the best things about the civic!
This is more of an upgrade than anything real deal ek9. Even the old jdm navigation that is available for 99 units. Great vid. Looking for this upgrade in my genuine ek9
Thanks mate! Wow not many are fortunate enough to have an ek9! Cheers all the best with it
@@JCYT thanks man.
Jonathan, can i ask your experience with the joying head unit after a few months?
@@zero9EK9 of course!
I have had their units for about 8 years now so hopefully I can give some of my experience. The earlier models had a few issues with screen condensation and just generally really slow to operate. I have not had any major issues with their newer units. The only issue was a faulty GPS antenna which was sorted through warranty. Once you get passed setting it up like you would a phone and personalisation, it really works well!
Great video, thanks for going into detail about the conversion because I just got a 96 ek coupe and I want to put a big screen.
No problems mate good luck!
on the topic of microphone placement, I will be placing mine at the top of the driver side A pillar, running it down under the A Pillar trim and then through the dash. You will forget its there and it has perfect functionality, I had a wrx done the same way
Thanks mate i think this may be the way to go. This is how mine is mounted in the RX-7.
i've got it tucked behind the lower trim part of the dash behind a vent. It's working but not too well.
Cheers
aw man I'm gonna do this to my 96 hatch. thanks!!
Nice man enjoy!
Same here! 96 DX B)
For anyone in the US that little strip between both the vents might be an issue for you trying to do this conversion. You may have to cut or cover that strip since we don’t have that little bit in the US fascia
Cheers mate, sorry i have no idea re LHD/US civics
what wire is it?
@@Anita_blackman it’s not a wire. On the US faceplate there is just both vents up top with a small strip of flat plastic between each vent. In the EDM, JDM, etc. faceplate there is some dial or something between each of those vents that spaces the vents out further apart than they do on the US version
Thank you your video definitely helped!
You're welcome mate
This is a great video!
Thank you!
Hopefully my video helped with the inspiration to do this! Very nice setup!
Great video so amazing full details thanks
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Nice work mate
Thank you! Cheers!
Bro ,, very good video and thanks to your information ❤
You're welcome!
This may be a better idea than the facelift dash
I reckon you're right!
Have a 98 civic cope an going to do it this weekend good stuff
Good luck mate!
Brother I had a question about the APP070 for harness . I can not find that in the states . Do you have any idea ?
Dope tutorial I’ll subscribe, hope to use some tips for my ek ferio
Thanks mate enjoy the content!
Awesome bro! Thank you!!!
Enjoy mate!
I would love to do this conversion on my civic. I'm not very confident in my skills though. I might give it a go. I think it would look amazing
Good luck with it! Such a good upgrade
nice work, nice hands!
Haha thanks 😊
I am completely new to Hondas, just picked up my first EJ9, would it be the same in EJ9 1997mod? To me it looks the same atleast
WOW. Amazing !
Thanks mate!
How do you connect a subwoofer back if you have a subwoofer in the back & the cables used to sit in the old stereo?
Hey I just did some research cause I had the same question and it looks like it does have rca output for subs. They are the red and white out put connectors labeled as R in and L in
Just bought one 🤞
@@collinskidmore9337 ahh okay great thanks dude!
my apologies for not replying this. i never saw it!
Enjoy it
Wow dude thats badass.. nice..
Thanks dude!
I've got the fascia waiting to be installed in mine soon! Just need to find a good headunit soon :)
Nice one buddy. So many options on the market! Just got back from a 1300km roadtrip and 2x trackdays over the weekend. The Joying was flawless worked amazing and definitely kept me awake haha
@@JCYT the fascia has an odd shape, how can I search for a headunit compatible with it? I am struggling to find a good piece with Apple CarPlay. Can you point me into a direction pls what I should look for?
How did you mount the cup holder exactly .
I’m struggling trying to figure out to cut off the tabs or not. I have everything in but I still have a huge gap when trying to put everything back together
Hey mate, just used the screws which came with it and straight into the console.
You just have to get it how you like it and then make block off plates to complete the look. There is a small gap in mine too (it's just not super obvious until you put a flashlight behind it).
Would I have to get the new dash piece even with the 96 jdm Honda navigation system or would it fit the same way?
Hey mate
If its the rare fascia I'm thinking with the small navigation screen yes you'll still need the new piece.
Hi Jon, Just discovered your channel last week. Great content and delivery, keep it up👍. You mentioned you have done the ek9 climate control swap twice now, do you have any guides you have previously used to do it? I have seen a few but they all vary, some say you need to change the dash pad bar and take the whole dash out, others say you need to change the heater box, others dont. Your way sounds the simplest (and I have all the parts you mentioned) so just wondering where you got your info from before I give it a go myself? Thanks for your time.
Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback
I know it is different depending on what country you are in due to what comes with the different models. I agree there are no good conversion guides (in Australia). A mate helped me import the harness and motors from an EK9 in the Philipines. He was extremely helpful so i didn't need any guides. It was also completely plug and play apart from the centre vent modification.
I can say for certain FOR AUS MODELS
1) Dash pad bar (you mean the dash support frame)? Not necessary to change
2) Heater box. Not necessary to change. I believe the blower box motor and the solenoids are a straight swap over with no modifications needed.
3) You will need to take the whole dash out to modify the vent which sits behind the skin of the dash. If you cannot source an EK9 centre vent, you will need to modify the existing centre vent (I used AC vent tape from the local hardware store). It's ghetto but worked
Good luck!
@@JCYT Thats awesome info mate, very reassuring, thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm in AUS (Perth) so hopefully I have the same outcome with my conversion that you previously had. 🤞
Great video! This how-to has pretty much convinced me to do this conversion. Can you post pictures or a short video of the relocated climate control from up close? Just to have an idea of the overall look of it. Are there any visible gaps?
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it! DM me on insta I'd be happy to send you a few pics. Yes you can tell I've had to modify the climate control. I havent otherwise bothered to make it factory looking. Maybe if I find some time one day I will make two side infill pieces but not fussed to be honest.
Would love to see these picturea
Great vid man, followed to the letter and it looks great! How do you install the USB ports in the cigarette lighter
Cheers mate thank you
It's just a USB/cig socket dongle
Can I ask, how to boost the engine power? Getting pretty low. It’s D15B, the original engine it is.
Already installed too, and it works just fine, but a bit hard releasing AC panel, kinda hard glue on it
How are you finding the upgrade?
Accidently found it while searching on the marketplace,,cannot believe it at first,
Hondash bro 😊
Hahaha i used Hondash about 8 years ago. Was a rubbish app. I hope they've made some improvements
I wonder if you had hit the glue with a heat gun if that would have made the removal of the vents any easier. When I do mine I'll try it.
Hey mate
Its a pretty hard brittle plastic so I don't think it'll work. I think using a soldering iron to melt off the tabs will help!
Great video, Accidentally see it on youtube and then after i watch i subscribe and made me convinced to do conversion too! One quick question if i do wanted to install reverse camera how do i connect it?
Welcome mate thanks for subbing!
Yes you can install reverse camera onto these units. Will have to purchase the generic style with the yellow RCA jack which comes with the power supply and trigger wires
www.joyingauto.com/blog/post/how-to-connect-back-up-camera/
Can’t wait to get mine i bought same one like you had I’m just adding reverse camera since they gifted me a reverse camera and not to pay extra. 😁
Came here to find my comment and rewatch the clip so I can just do the job straight thanks a lot to you!
Get a gauge cluster bezel. Even if not using boost gauges, you should be able to hide the microphone in the cluster bezel behind a 'speaker' grill.
i've actually got it mounted now behind the lower trim (there's a vent for models with cabin sensor?). It picks up ok but it's definitely not suitable for phone calls which i'm ok with. Thanks for the advice!
@@JCYT I have the same vent in my EK1 poverty pack. I had mine down in the fuse door (it was late...) And it was also terrible. I saw the cluster bezel on AliExpress and thought about it when doing a the CRV cluster swap. Really needed doing, my Speedo was registering 140kmh for anything past 80... Definitely not right. Thanks for the info on the head unit swap. I've seen the EK9 swap and gave up due to work involved. It's just an EK1 beater daily so didn't want to do anything too out there. Most I have is Integra VTI-R seats lol.
Cool 👍. But as for me the screen is staying very low to be observed when driving ...🤔
It's probably a good thing to keep it out of temptations way!
Hey Jon! im thinking about using the joying unit too but unfortunately i cant find any reviews on the reverse camera for it. By any chance have you had experience with their reverse camera?
Hey mate
I had the Joying AHD reverse camera on my old hilux. Worked as it should no complaints. I think most are the same product just rebranded/different casing.
Hello, just got a civic EK3, and your video convinced me to do the conversion !
Do you think the display in description is ok for LHD car please ?
Hi mate!
Yes I dont see that it would have any issues. Good luck
You should be working for the NASA, you're a computer Thanks so much, a lot of health to you and family.
Hahahaha thanks for the compliment
Same and to you also!
Is your speedometer stock? I’ve been trying to locate one for a minute
Be awesome if you can include the links for all the items
Yaptıklarınızın hepsini yaptım. Klima ünitesi biraz içerde kaldı benim, sorun ne çözemedim yardım
Where did u get that double din finisher been looking for one just like that for ages
Aliexpress
We couldn’t 3D print it in a printing machine and customize it the way we like ??
Good video. Where you buy the radio and harness?
Thanks mate
I bought the radio directly from Joying. The Joying comes with an ISO universal harness and the other end i got from my local supercheap auto (i'm in Aus). I think the links are in the description of the vid.
Great video bro, question where did u get the folding mirror for that civic it’s hard to find those
Hey mate sorry for the slow reply. That is the manual mirror from the base model civic in Australia. They are abundant here (aftermarket and OEM)
@@JCYT thanks for the response anything outside the USA is always better by any chance do u have a link to the site I’m trying to order it
What make and model stereo is that and where did you order/ get it from??
Hi Lorraine it's in the video description. Ordered from Joying website
Do you find it difficult to operate the climate control unit? I noticed in some other videos that the moving lever from cold to hot gets more stiff maybe because the cable is stretched. Has this been the same for you or does it operate as normal?
Hi mate
It is not difficult but firmer than factory. It is definitely firmer in other videos as they have not cut and modified the cable. So take note the way i modified the cable and you won't have a problem. The slider controls the opening of a valve between the heaterbox and the cylinder head. Hope this helps!
Nice... same for my Honda civic 97 ex? Same process? 😮
Yes should be! But yours is LHD I assume?
I did exactly what I did, but there is a problem converting between the protector and the cooler, and also the screen sound is very low. Why?
Hey mate
I assume you mean hot to cold? Have you modified the blue cable correctly? It should move smoothly inside the blue sheath. Minimise any bend in the cable if possible. I had no issues with my sound, same as factory volume. Sorry if this is not helpful
Hey great vid
Can this work on the ek3?
Sorry this is probably more specific to JDM models
Does it support Apple CarPlay without having to connect my iPhone to it?
Yes it's wireless!
We can't find interior door openings in Turkey, we can't even find it in orlik
are u gonna plan to get rid of that rust looking bits behind the fascia and glovebox?
Hey mate
No plan to. It is surface rust so not concerned. My previous EKs have had it too. Pretty much every 90s Japanese car will have that on the dash support.
Do you need the iso harness ?
What's audio quality like with that headunit? Notice a drop off compared to standard single din
Hey mate, the audio quality is better than factory. The joying headunit has a built in amplifier which is quite good. That said, i am not audio fanatic! But can confirm it is better than stock
I need some vents! I live in the us so my vents don’t fit on this bezel can you send me a link to find them where you are from?
Sorry i didn't know this. They are in abundance in AUS. Can get the fascia for close to nothing..
What does the lever in between the air vents do pls?
It distributes air flow to the upper centre vent to defrost the front windscreen
super insightful video bro! would you happen to have a link to the exact aliexpress fascia you got? wanna make sure I don't get any dodgy fitment issues haha
Sorry for the late reply!
www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003704246787.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.28313b54JRqLtq
This is the fascia i've got but it looks like they've since updated the post. Good luck!
Damn seems like they don’t make these anymore for our civics anymore
Hey mate i've editted the video description. Looks like there is an updated model for sale
I removed the antenna from my 08 civic but do i need it for the gps? Or will if work without?
The unit comes with its own GPS receiver so no it won't need the antenna as such. The antenna you removed from the 08 will likely be for AM/FM radio.
Question...Is the size of the control unit universal between LHD and RHD
Hey mate if you're referring to the headunit i believe LHD and RHD are the same size and unit. The controls on the headunit are more biased to LHD but i haven't found this to be an issue really. The fascia you can select LHD or RHD, i can't really tell the difference between the two - it doesn't seem that the unit is angled one way or other (looks symmetrical to me)
Every person I have seen, reallocates the Climate Controls down there and it is functional, yes, but looks so bad. I just wish there was a better place for it because I usually put my phone or some other stuff down there and sometimes drinks too and it would be so annoying to have to move the stuff then use the AC. Not hating on you, video and tutorial is great and the new screen looks dope. Just sharing my thoughts.
Thanks mate I appreciate the comments regardless! Yes it's the only way and i don't really see any other easily accessible option.
If it makes any difference I still put my sunnies and wallet down there 😎
@@JCYT I think I have an alternate solution in my mind since a long time. I just do not have the time to work on the car right now. If it ever works, I'll make sure to share a picture or a video. :)
How do I get the adapter in the USA? I I can’t seem to find the exact one near me
Hey mate
I'm sorry but it must be a Oceania region part. Perhaps their connectors are different
I've had a look at autozone but not familiar with navigating your system. You may need to contact your local autoparts store
@@JCYTI ended up ordering the part on eBay from a shop in Australia. I can say it fit the same as the one in your video so I assume wiring is the same for all
Quick question I can not find that APP070 harness nowhere here in America where do I find it?
Hey mate
I'm sorry but it must be a Oceania region part. Perhaps their connectors are different
I've had a look at autozone but not familiar with navigating your system. You may need to contact your local autoparts store
@@JCYTThank you for taking the time bro ! You are a real one !
Does this one have hdmi? Because i see some on aliexpres with one
Hi mate
This particular model does not have HDMI but i'm aware the newer models have HDMI
@@JCYTah okay thanks! Good vid btw
Do you have a link for the harness?
Hey mate
The part number is in the description. If you're in australia, they are readily available from supercheap repco
what is the difference between voting left or right
To be honest, not sure - they both look the same to me
How to solve the issue with the length of the heating wire?
Hey mate
Watch at 21:24
You can shorten the cable, remove some of the blue insulation and curl the end like factory.
Can you get the link ecu/haltech data logging apps on the joying unit?
Hey mate
Yes all working on my RX-7. I am running a Haltech Elite 1500 displaying OBD2 compatible sensors through my Joying headunit. Connects automatically working with both dashcommand AND Torque App. I prefer the Torque app though. This has been asked a few times so might be worth making a video on it. Let me know if you are interested.
The 9” fascia you bought, the right one or left?
RHD version
Where does a person source that fascia?
I'd love to get my hands on that!
Hey mate
Check the link in the video description!
How can I get the vent outlets to connect to the new panel I don’t want to destroy the original if I will like to transfer it in the future or just wish to revert.
Hey mate couldn't help you with that. It is highly likely you will have some minor damage on removal so I really don't think they can be transferred twice. The stock fascias are still going for next to nothing in Australia. So it hasn't even crossed my mind.
I need a stock Dacia from australia
Number part of the dash?
I have a 1998 Honda Civic Ex will this work on my stereo?
Depending on what country you're front - you will need to order the LHD/RHD version but i cannot confirm if the vents will transfer over. We only have this style in Australia.
Where can I get those vents for Panel Assembly Center I’m in the US?
My apologies but i am unfamiliar with the models from the US especially being LHD over there
Those vents (RHD) are in abundance here in aus.
Are you going to do a new head unit on the fd?
Hey mate, I have!
I did this a year ago - feel free to check it out: th-cam.com/video/8sfMfSNOafQ/w-d-xo.html
This was also a Joying unit - 8 inch model
can i get some help.. i have not a clue how to take this small buttons out. hazard and second one struggling with it 2 days ahaa
Are you trying to remove the switch by itself? The switches cannot separate from the housing from the front and you'll need to remove them together with the housing. A trim removal tool will help reduce the scratching. If it's been on there for a while it'll need some force to come off. Gently pry the housing towards you and you can move around the housing and wedge a flat head in there to keep the switch from locking back onto the fascia. Hope that helps
i will try tomorrow and tanks for advice.. i was trying to stick my fingers from behind and disconnect the wires so i can somehow push it towards me.. (i was making it completely wrong hahaha)@@JCYT
@@kaateshii3727oh definitely do that at the same time. If you can reach back there, stick a flathead in the back of the switch and push - it will come out. It's only held in by a few small tabs
good luck!
Do you know if this unit can hook up to the hondata s300?
Or anyone know what Headunit that wud?
Yes it will work with the hondata app with s300v3 (white board). The hondata app is glitchy but it does work.
Did you buy the the fascia panel cord as well?
Planning to do this too because I saw your vids man
Hey mate do you mean the blue cable for the climate control? That came straight off my existing climate control unit
@@JCYT no mate, I saw at the aliexpress that they are selling the panel and it comes with the cord. Did you buy that as well?
Hey i have a 1995 eg gli civic would this installation still work ?
Hi mate
Unfortunately no it won't work
Where do you buy these from
check the description for a list of parts. i am based in Australia though.
Will a 10.1 inch screen for the 9” bezel?
Hey mate
No the only screen which will fit is the 9 inch contoured sides one. The dimensions are in the link
Are those dekagrams?
Yes they are!
Can you retro fit a 10in headunit on that panel?
Hey mate
Not on this panel - but i saw that they now make 10.1 inch fascia for EK civic. It just looks a little odd to me
Link to the fascia
Sir nice 👍 hope you can help us
Where can I get it? I have a 2000 honda civic
Hey mate
Check the direct links in the description
Can anyone tell me if the back window glass off a 96 00 civic sedan would fit the civic coupe?
I cannot confirm but i have had a sedan before and the tailgate does not look compatible with the coupe. Sorry mate
@@JCYT when you say tailgate you seem to be referring to the other 2 door civic which is the del sol (it’s a hatch back) Mine is the 2 door coupe EJ7. Thanks anyway
Que hago si he cortado demasiado el tirador del clima?😅😅😂😔
hahaha buy a new cable!
