I have one which is exactly the same, but goes by the name Koolertron. Yes it can glitch after a short period of time, or a much longer period of time. I am on my third unit now after having these problems BUT there is a fix and it took me until my third unit before I figured it out!. Like a lot of Chinese electronics, if it has power running to it even though it is switched off, after a while it will fail. For example I had a Chinese ice making machine which I left plugged in with the mains power on (even though the machine was switched off at the machine) but after a while it failed. When you switch it off at the wall socket for a few minutes, then switch it back on again it will work perfectly for a while (sometimes a long time). With my Koolertron version of this machine, when it failed I unpluged the car battery for a few minutes, it fixed all the problems and worked properly again (a bit like switching off a modem/router when the wireless signal fails). I am having other electrical work done on my car later in the year, so I will get them to install a switch which cuts the battery power so I can re-set my Koolertron when this happens. The point is that it is an excellent unit, packed with features and if it needs to be re-set occasionally, I don't have a problem with that.
@@NutzAboutBolts Actually the only way I found out about it was when my car battery died and I had to get a new one. Once the new battery was installed all the faults with the unit were fixed and that is when I realised what the problem was - as I said I was on my third unit by then. The first one was replaced under warranty, the second one I got failed after a while so I bought another one off ebay and that one failed, except it came back to life when I got my new car battery. At least I know how to fix it now!
Why've you gotta be so difficult and shifty about why not to buy this, trying to force us to dig through years of your Facebook page. Please just inform us of the issues you found.
after some digging, here's what i found: the issue has to do with the unit resetting its time and user preferences every time it shuts off. it sounds like a faulty battery inside the unit's board, but i've never seen the unit's guts and i'm guessing - it just sounds like the exact issues you'd see with a computer, laptop or game console that can't hold date and time when powered off.
Thanks for the updates on the failure of this unit in your other videos. I was thinking of replacing mine with the Seicane, but I will not do so. I am really glad you took the time and effort to post the updates.
I had the 10.1in screen 8.0 and I had to return it to seicane and get money back. I loved the location of it because it doesn't require the pocket to be removed bit it felt extremely cheap for the price I payed.
Sir! I have a 2007 Honda Accord EX 2.4L and have watched your videos for years because of your attention to detail. It all started with your brakes video. I use it every time, just to remember not to forget everything. Please do a beginner upgrade video to squeeze out a little more out of our beast on a budget
Koolertron makes a similar unit, while the one I put in my son's 06 Accord is only been in the car less than a month, it has nothing but praise from us. I think it is cheaper as well. Easy to put in.
@@NutzAboutBolts I got it off Ebay. About $350, hooked up a backup camera to it, which was harder than putting the radio in. Running that wire was not easy. Will try to give you a six month report. So far my son loves it.
That was very simple to put in. Honda makes it simple. As some cars take so long to take so many parts out just to put a sat nav and take old radio out.
That's a lot of effort and expense for some 2005 looking tech. Better off with just a single DIN in the bottom slot with bluetooth. Google Maps and a phone holder for navigation instead of that slow ass software
Very true. Thats why it didnt bother me at all, it adds some aesthetic to the car. On a different note, I had a question about shaking coming from the engine. Its a 2007 accord EX-L Whenever I'm stopped with the car in drive, the engine shakes the whole car. I had the motor mounts replaced about 2 months ago and everything was smooth up until last week. Now it just idles rough and I've decided to just sell the car. If I can fix the issue I might keep the car though. I've been watching your videos for a year now and saved tons of money fixing other issues with the car but this shaking is driving me nuts. I'm about to just give up on it.
its probably the engine mount if you replaced it and it went away and came back. Probably a bad aftermarket mount. You can also try cleaning your EGR system, that can cause rough idles but that can cause a check engine light as well if its bad.
@@HalferLandPerformance "Check my channel", you could link the video directly instead but alright. *looks through channel, finally finds it* Reviews a similar one, doesn't post a link or any info. *Checks comments* "Oh I don't have a direct link, just look for it" bruh make me go through all that just to tell me to look for it.... smh Don't say you "recommend" one when you don't give any info about it

I see that radio was glitchy from the comments it looked like such a nice unit touchscreen and CD player I was gonna ask the model information maybe they have a updated model with CD player by now!
No volume knob is the first thing I noticed. I don't like volume buttons so that is automatic no go for me. I know the steering wheel has volume buttons. ButI don't won't to get used to using them and then reach for them in my pick up which doesn't have steering mounted volume buttons.
Unit itself looks clean, but the os looks so cheap and outdated. It's also sad that you have to remove the lid of the storage box, because now it doesn't look as clean. Edit : Can you put an different os on it?
Hi there. Firstly, love your videos and how well you present maintenence and other tasks on this car as i own the same year model. Best on the tube! When you refer to single Ac, is that in regards to the vehicle having dual or single zone climate control function? Mine happens to be dual. Thanks again for all your efforts to assist others and save ppl money!
Single AC is like the one in this video, dual would have driver and passenger AC function. If you google for images, you can compare them to your vehicle. You can also send the company an image of your radio unit and they can match the Navi. Unit that fits for your car. I hope that helps :)
I've had mine for a couple of years and I've been having a problem...as soon as I power it on, I get the H loading page, then "primo..." and then I get a window that reads "unsupported voice" and it says to "please see log box." and it wont go to the main page. I have to close the window, turn the radio off and back on again for it to go to the main screen.
Good video. I am interested. But How are the buttons? My original is 13 years old and running smooth. It will all be a fiasco if the buttons are plasticky and touch screen is callous.
So the kit doesn’t fit proper without removing the factory pocket?! It’s on sale from 928$US, to 320$US? Why? Massive malfunctions? Has anyone actually spent a thousand dollars on this POS?! Haha
Thanks for sharing it looks nice. Question: while you play on the usb port can you navigate on the screen? Or listen to music? Or add back up camera to this?
I haven't mess with the USB yet, but if you are listening to the radio and you have your navigation on and its giving you directions, the navigation override the radio and tells you the directions before it starts playing the music again. You can add a back up camera to this set up, they have the harness and wire for it. You just have to tap into the reverse cable and reverse lights wire for the camera. They have a wire and a wireless set up.
I bought this head unit, everything installed GREAT! This video was EXTREMELY helpful, as was his video on how to remove the factory radio and re-install the factory radio.👍 In addition to installing this head unit, I installed a backup camera that comes on automatically and displays on this headunit as soon as you put it into reverse. Climate controls, steering wheel controls, navigation, sdcard/USB media reader, radio, all that works great. The only problem I'm having so far is, the Bluetooth pairs with my iPhone but it won't pair with my wife's Google Pixel (android). Which is great for me but the head unit is in her car so it really needs to work for her Google Pixel. Has anyone else had problems getting the Bluetooth to work with android phones and if so were you able to solve the problem?
TheMaster13 thanks for your review. I have a Google pixel and I'm thinking about purchasing this with the rear view camera for my Honda. Did you get it to work for your wife's phone? Would you recommend purchasing this unit?
Hi Angel F, I was not able to get this head unit to work with my wife's Pixel. I reached out to Seicane to see if they had a solution (firmware update, setting option, etc...) to fix the problem and they were slow to respond. Another issue we encountered with this head unit was that on the A/C vent controls, when you select vent air to your feet, our head unit did not seem to be able to do that. Also the response time on the A/C controls was a little laggy. By about 2 seconds I would say. It was adaptable, but was a bit of an annoyance. Since the vent controls wouldn't blow air to your feet, (it's gotten cold here and having warm air on your feet is nice to have) and since the fixes Seicane eventually suggested to fix the bluetooth/Android Pixel problem, and since the A/C controls were laggy, and other little qwerks like the clock stays at 12:00am for about 3 or 4 minutes after you get in the car and other small things, ultimately, i had to put the original head unit back in my wife's car. Which was unfortunate because this REALLY seemed like the "Silver Bullet" that would provide so many of the features we were wanting(BIG backup camera monitor, bluetooth, navigation, all in a seamless and stock looking package). What I've done alternatively is (since I already ran the backup camera) I bought a rear view mirror with an LCD screen that connects to the backup camera and automatically turns on when the car is in Reverse. I also installed a separate bluetooth module to the auxiliary port of the stock radio. The aux port on our stock radio is underneath the radio and could only be accessed by pulling the stock radio out. The bluetooth module works great. Right out of the box it works with Honda's steering wheel controls. It will pause music playing from any source when you have an incoming or out going phone call, it connects automatically when you get into your car, and MOSTLY, it works just fine with my wife's Pixel. There are videos on youtube on how to install the bluetooth module. I don't mean to discourage anyone from getting this product, I just found that it was not a good fit with our setup. Let me know if you're interested in links to the products I ended up using with our current setup (which she loves btw). I hope all this helps you out.
Wow TheMaster13, yes I would love links to checkout your alternative items that work! I'm so happy I found your review before purchase, I really would have been disappointed since it doesn't work with my phone. Thank you so much for your honest review :)

since you posted this video I have seen a lot of negative reviews on Seicane. I know you've only installed it a few weeks ago, but can you tell me if you have had any issues with the unit? I am looking to install a head unit that replaces the factory stereo and not just another radio that you install in the lower cubby hole.
I've read their negative reviews as well. Some people complain their unit stops working after 3 months, I will be giving an update in a couple months. It's hard to say for now since it's early, but it's a nice unit with Honda logo. You can research for other units and let me know. This is better than those small cubby hole units for sure lol
Has the Chinese unit gone bad yet? You should be on driveaccord.net more to find out that there are problems with these units, unless they've fixed it, especially the HVAC issue.
I just brought a similar radio everything works except for heat and ac...on some units I seen a decoder box...you find any solution how to make these functions work?
hey body I got the same it looks great and works great except that the video it doesn't show in the screen. do you have any idea why did you have this problem too?
Oh man! Great videos! Now I'm considering to buy. Wonder how long it'll take for shipping 🇨🇦! Any discount promo codes anything from you!? When CAN$ to US$ it'll bit pricy for me.
Only if I knew about this a while back. Had a issue during winter when I messed up my climate control, after installing a Metra replacement. Good now though, have a Pioneer radio where the lower pocket is. Only thing is the display on the top doesn't work.
Hey you still have that radio on your car? How is it I was looking thru it but it’s a Chinese type and people have been telling me they aren’t that good since you have it hook up how is it been
I have the same unit on my accord and I started having problems with it weeks after installation. The navigation card reader cant read the card, Bluetooth doesn't work properly, the list goes on.
Hey guys, I don't know if this is still on debate. But I would recommend you "Xtrons Accord CL7 VII MK7" it has a capacitive touchscreen but it costs € 369 - 389. No volume knob either, but full climate control capability. I'll be getting one soon for my Accord. Right now I have a CD Changer mod AUX conversion where I can hook up a phone and have music CD quality that way. Would be enough for you as well maybe.
Just saw this video and the CD changer in my accord EXL no longer works. Does this work with factory XM Antenna? Also I noticed you said not to buy it in an update? Is there something wrong with it?
The NAV unit looks so cheap, look at the interface. I am chinese myself and this is definately some cheap head units running on old OS like windows mobile.
I bought a similar head unit for my 2004 Honda ex the radio works fine but My climate control doesn’t work my fan runs all the time but none of the buttons work I have hooked it up both ways as a single and duel climate any suggestions
Can you run subs on some kind of setup like this? I don’t know much about hooking radios up but I want to put this in my Honda and have subs in the back
I have a honda accord 2007 3.0 with the same exact model of screen and it doesnt work the sound, all the functions seems to be fine, but the only problem is that it doesnt sound. Do you know about any bug that screen can have?
Great video! I wonder should i order this kind of product for my 03 accord. If you think that the screen and those buttons can take like -20 degree celcius in winter (without freeze or snapping off), then, no problem. Right now im using china-made adapter plugged into a cd changer port, but the sound quality is awful and it is fading bass almost completely.
I will give an update in a couple of months. I've heard read the reviews about this company about how their unit breaks down after 3 months. I wanna try it out before letting you guys know. I also ordered their reverse camera to install as well. As of now, the Nav. unit is working nicely, I wish the Accord has better speakers and sub woofers lol.
Question for you..i want to put in a 2004 tsx cylinder head with 06 tsx cams and cam gear in my 06 accord..will it work without having to trade pistons..
no, they just mislabel it. The D is the strength of the AC and the P is for the temperature change. Its China made so they just mislabel it for some reason. lol
As long as it looks very good, I just bought a second hand Accord 2.4 vtec 2003, with exactly this unit installed, and it works horrible. The touch screen pretty much does not react; I tried to calibrate it but still. The steering wheel buttons do not obey. DO you think reseting could solve it? ANyways, I don't know the password for the factory settings. If it's trash, any unit you could recommend to install instead? Thanks.
Hi has there been any updates on this unit to improve it? Also my 2005 Honda Accord V6 also has Sirius XM radio, do you of a model similar to this one. I need one with Sirius XM.
I have one which is exactly the same, but goes by the name Koolertron. Yes it can glitch after a short period of time, or a much longer period of time. I am on my third unit now after having these problems BUT there is a fix and it took me until my third unit before I figured it out!.

Has anyone else had problems getting the Bluetooth to work with android phones and if so were you able to solve the problem?
TheMaster13 thanks for your review. I have a Google pixel and I'm thinking about purchasing this with the rear view camera for my Honda. Did you get it to work for your wife's phone? Would you recommend purchasing this unit?
Hi Angel F, I was not able to get this head unit to work with my wife's Pixel. I reached out to Seicane to see if they had a solution (firmware update, setting option, etc...) to fix the problem and they were slow to respond. Another issue we encountered with this head unit was that on the A/C vent controls, when you select vent air to your feet, our head unit did not seem to be able to do that. Also the response time on the A/C controls was a little laggy. By about 2 seconds I would say. It was adaptable, but was a bit of an annoyance.
Since the vent controls wouldn't blow air to your feet, (it's gotten cold here and having warm air on your feet is nice to have) and since the fixes Seicane eventually suggested to fix the bluetooth/Android Pixel problem, and since the A/C controls were laggy, and other little qwerks like the clock stays at 12:00am for about 3 or 4 minutes after you get in the car and other small things, ultimately, i had to put the original head unit back in my wife's car. Which was unfortunate because this REALLY seemed like the "Silver Bullet" that would provide so many of the features we were wanting(BIG backup camera monitor, bluetooth, navigation, all in a seamless and stock looking package).
What I've done alternatively is (since I already ran the backup camera) I bought a rear view mirror with an LCD screen that connects to the backup camera and automatically turns on when the car is in Reverse. I also installed a separate bluetooth module to the auxiliary port of the stock radio. The aux port on our stock radio is underneath the radio and could only be accessed by pulling the stock radio out. The bluetooth module works great. Right out of the box it works with Honda's steering wheel controls. It will pause music playing from any source when you have an incoming or out going phone call, it connects automatically when you get into your car, and MOSTLY, it works just fine with my wife's Pixel. There are videos on youtube on how to install the bluetooth module.
I don't mean to discourage anyone from getting this product, I just found that it was not a good fit with our setup. Let me know if you're interested in links to the products I ended up using with our current setup (which she loves btw). I hope all this helps you out.
Wow TheMaster13, yes I would love links to checkout your alternative items that work! I'm so happy I found your review before purchase, I really would have been disappointed since it doesn't work with my phone. Thank you so much for your honest review :)

my android wont pair with anything, i have to turn on the mobile hotspot for it to work for some reason
I’ve been looking for something like this.
Not worth it
I just bought one for my 03 Honda Accord just waiting to arrive
Cancel asap
It glitches and breaks after a month
I already did
since you posted this video I have seen a lot of negative reviews on Seicane. I know you've only installed it a few weeks ago, but can you tell me if you have had any issues with the unit? I am looking to install a head unit that replaces the factory stereo and not just another radio that you install in the lower cubby hole.
I've read their negative reviews as well. Some people complain their unit stops working after 3 months, I will be giving an update in a couple months. It's hard to say for now since it's early, but it's a nice unit with Honda logo. You can research for other units and let me know. This is better than those small cubby hole units for sure lol
Will you please give me the name of the place where you bought this from? I would really appreciate it.
Read his description. The unit failed and he's saying don't waste your money. Apparently he's done an update video.
It stopped working because? Bad unit? Or it is Honda 03-07 problem that damages the stereo/climate control so any replacement would go bad eventually?
Is there any manual or video for uninstalling the panel and old stereo
I bought a car with this installed already, how do I install navigation on it?
Is the reason for the door removal because you have a single AC controller instead of the dual AC controller on the original unit?
Does it have a volume knob other than a + or - for volume ?
Has the Chinese unit gone bad yet? You should be on driveaccord.net more to find out that there are problems with these units, unless they've fixed it, especially the HVAC issue.
I just brought a similar radio everything works except for heat and ac...on some units I seen a decoder box...you find any solution how to make these functions work?
hey body I got the same it looks great and works great except that the video it doesn't show in the screen. do you have any idea why did you have this problem too?
Those aftermarket radio after 14 months you start having problems first to go is the GPS then the clock then the touch screen start malfunctioning...
Oh man! Great videos! Now I'm considering to buy. Wonder how long it'll take for shipping 🇨🇦! Any discount promo codes anything from you!? When CAN$ to US$ it'll bit pricy for me.
promo codes in the description. :)
Was looking at these today
Stock speakers?
Could you have modified the bottom of the radio?
Bluetooth WORK?
MOST IMPORTANT,HOW MUCH?
2018... Siri whats an Ipod ?
Where can I get one for my 2004 accord
Does your phone automatically connect to the radio via bluetooth or do you have to connect it every time you get in the car?
Only if I knew about this a while back. Had a issue during winter when I messed up my climate control, after installing a Metra replacement. Good now though, have a Pioneer radio where the lower pocket is. Only thing is the display on the top doesn't work.
ouch :(
Live and learn haha
true, now you know more about your vehicle than people who just brings it to the dealership :)
Hey you still have that radio on your car? How is it I was looking thru it but it’s a Chinese type and people have been telling me they aren’t that good since you have it hook up how is it been
I have the same unit on my accord and I started having problems with it weeks after installation. The navigation card reader cant read the card, Bluetooth doesn't work properly, the list goes on.
That sucks. I never feel the need to buy these off brand units just for that reason.
Hey guys, I don't know if this is still on debate. But I would recommend you "Xtrons Accord CL7 VII MK7" it has a capacitive touchscreen but it costs € 369 - 389.
No volume knob either, but full climate control capability. I'll be getting one soon for my Accord.
Right now I have a CD Changer mod AUX conversion where I can hook up a phone and have music CD quality that way. Would be enough for you as well maybe.
Let me know in a couple months after using it to see if it’s worth it or not.
@@NutzAboutBolts I'll let you know for sure, no problems
Hey do you know the 4 digit code for the steering wheel function?
How much for the system?
Just saw this video and the CD changer in my accord EXL no longer works. Does this work with factory XM Antenna? Also I noticed you said not to buy it in an update? Is there something wrong with it?
The NAV unit looks so cheap, look at the interface. I am chinese myself and this is definately some cheap head units running on old OS like windows mobile.
Do you have s recommendation?
What's the model number and will it fit a euro 2.4ivtec type s . Many thanks Duncan.
Hey guys I installed this in my dual zone accord. So the AC isn’t working but the shop told me an AC harness will fix it. Advice on this issue?
Does it still work the radio and did you fix your ac
I got one just like that
And the screen went black
I can’t see anything
Please let me know what I can do Thanks
I bought a similar head unit for my 2004 Honda ex the radio works fine but My climate control doesn’t work my fan runs all the time but none of the buttons work I have hooked it up both ways as a single and duel climate any suggestions
Can you run subs on some kind of setup like this? I don’t know much about hooking radios up but I want to put this in my Honda and have subs in the back
Yes that's what the rcas are for my dude so you could send the audio signal to the amp then sub
is it also for the coupe models?I have a 2004 Honda accord coupe I would love this upgrade on my car
I have a honda accord 2007 3.0 with the same exact model of screen and it doesnt work the sound, all the functions seems to be fine, but the only problem is that it doesnt sound. Do you know about any bug that screen can have?
Do you have to pay for the NAV service?
Is there anyway to wire a back up camera to this
Great video! I wonder should i order this kind of product for my 03 accord. If you think that the screen and those buttons can take like -20 degree celcius in winter (without freeze or snapping off), then, no problem. Right now im using china-made adapter plugged into a cd changer port, but the sound quality is awful and it is fading bass almost completely.
I will give an update in a couple of months. I've heard read the reviews about this company about how their unit breaks down after 3 months. I wanna try it out before letting you guys know. I also ordered their reverse camera to install as well. As of now, the Nav. unit is working nicely, I wish the Accord has better speakers and sub woofers lol.
@@NutzAboutBolts any update after three months? is it still working?
Chris Sweeney don’t get it
Does this support Android auto without having to have a hotspot
After the installation, how are you able to talk through Bluetooth? Is it only connected to media? Your video didn't show you add the microphone...
once you connect your iphone to the vehicle, you can talk through the internal mic on the unit.
Only iPhone ? Or any Bluetooth
not too sure since I only have iphone... you can try android and see. As long as you can find the wireless name and link to it.
How do you purchase the new and better one?
Did you find a replacement that works long term?
Currently no
So it glitches after one month??
Yes, don’t buy
Does it have the capability for a wireless camera
Question for you..i want to put in a 2004 tsx cylinder head with 06 tsx cams and cam gear in my 06 accord..will it work without having to trade pistons..
May I get the website to buy this newer style CD stereo ? Thank you
It doesn’t work and glitches, I don’t recommend
VIIth generation Accords are infamous for weak batterys. Does this new unit which obviously needs more energy exhaust battery faster?
nope, that isn't the issue. Its the unit itself. Hopefully we'll find a better unit to install in the future.
So it's not compatible with XM Radio?
how are the maps updated? Do you need special DVD's that they sell or is it an SD card slot
there's a SD card slot. Not sure how to get more updated map after that.
I have this radio and the clock doesn’t work, the Bluetooth is glitchy, and the navigation recently went out.
So even though this is for the single A/C, it still contains the passenger knob which essentially is useless?
no, they just mislabel it. The D is the strength of the AC and the P is for the temperature change. Its China made so they just mislabel it for some reason. lol
Where dos you buy it. What store?
Is this accord 2007? I have an accord 2003 and i have heard that there is no need to take the drawer
this is the 2006, you need to take the bottom chubby out or the unit won't come out.
I ended up scratching up a portion of my dash because the sharp edges on the back of the stock radio rested on it. Is there any way to fix it?
how come in the website. the ac turn button is on the opposite side? p on the drivers and d on the passenger.
I would like to know if with these types of radios they bring RCA for two amplifiers
Whats the model number?? I need one for my 06 accord. How did you access to the stereo?? How did u take it off??
It’s not a great unit, the Navi. System isn’t working on this unit.
NutzAboutBolts
Does the CD player and everything else work properly thou
You said camera? Backup camera?
That’s pretty awesome!! but the real question is can in go into a 06 ex & how would i find one ?
is there a year i can take one out of a newer model n still get the gps n stuff
You want to get the same year and model with Navi. Already in it to make it fit.
alright so i should beable to go to a 05 to a 07?
harry morrison yeah
alright i’ll keep looking around hard to find one
Would the installation be any different if you have the version with GPS and upper digital displays?
I don’t recommend this unit
So what android radio is similar to that style but worth the money 💰? 🤔
None that we know of...
Is there one for the dual climate control system? I have the 2005 Honda Accord EXL dual climate 6 dsic change no navi though.
As long as it looks very good, I just bought a second hand Accord 2.4 vtec 2003, with exactly this unit installed, and it works horrible. The touch screen pretty much does not react; I tried to calibrate it but still. The steering wheel buttons do not obey. DO you think reseting could solve it? ANyways, I don't know the password for the factory settings. If it's trash, any unit you could recommend to install instead? Thanks.
I’d recommend going oem, aftermarket units are trash.
Hi has there been any updates on this unit to improve it? Also my 2005 Honda Accord V6 also has Sirius XM radio, do you of a model similar to this one. I need one with Sirius XM.
No sorry, I don’t suggest buying this unit.
@@NutzAboutBolts thank you.
hey do the buttons have back-light? if they do what color is it?
