Confirmed. If you purchase a new radio for this type of Honda, I recommend Crutchfield. Get the "ready harness" setup and they'll do the main harness and Axxess SWC harness for you. Additionally, the Metra kits come with an additional Axxess harness (larger), that is for your TOP DISPLAY, it gives you the screen and maintains the functionality of it. So you'll have 2 AXXESS boxes behind the dash and you'll be 100%.
Is this kit compatible with a Boss Audio System BVCP9685A radio? And with this kit, the factory information is still shown on the upper screen, I refer to fuel economy "current drive, history drive and clock" I would appreciate it if you answered my question, thanks
+Jose Cardoza Martinez Got the car back. After to tear into the dash in the next day or so to change the clock for daylight savings time. I can take some pics then. Been thinking about making a tutorial on how I did the install. Seems to be a lot of interest.

Hi Michael. Good job on all the work you did. I have a 2013 accord exl and hate not having nav and android auto/car play. Just some questions, did removing the radio and using the Metra affect your lane warning or collision camera? I see in your video that you removed the Metra due to the buginess. I have read online that Metra has updated firmware to eliminate the buginess and add lines back to the reverse camera. Have you tried updating and reinstalling the Metra, if so do you find it works better than when you first installed it. Sorry for the length of the questions. And thank you in advance. Luis
I have a 2017 Accord Sport. I already own an NEX 8100. I don't want to loose backup camera or imid obviously but I don't want to deal with Metra's bugginess. Were you able to hide your factory radio to keep imid features while still installing your pioneer unit? Please let me know. Not a lot of people are able to help! Thank you!
Hi, Will be thankful for replies. I have a 2016 GCC specks accord. In the factory head unit there is no Bluetooth connectivity and there is no rear view camera (no provision). I got OEM head unit from eBay and installed it. Now I want to hookup a hfl mic to the head unit(Bluetooth connectivity with my fone is good) and a rear view camera to the head unit. Can someone help me to to find out where I want to connect the mic in the head unit, and secondly where I want to connect an after market camera in the head unit.
Michael I have installed the kit in my 2015 Honda accord lx. when I turn the ignition off, the interface module goes into the reboot mode losing all of my previous setting. Do you have any suggestions on correcting the problem. I have interact with metra's tech support and updated the firmware to the latest. it did not correct the problem.
There's a control wire that needs to be connected if I remember right to flip through the top screen. I threw away my notes when I traded the car but it had a breakdown of how to make and pin the harness.
Michael Perri I honestly need your help, I’m a little confused now! I watched all three of your videos in regards of this. I have a 2013 Honda Accord EXL touchscreen no navvy. Now in this video you said that you are using PAC SWI-RC, but in your other video I saw you installing a ASWC-1 for your steering wheel control. So which one is it that you are using?? And do I need to order a Metra 99-7804B or a 99-7804HG??? I so confused. Help me please. Thank you.
My cars in the body shop. When I get it back I'll take apart my dash and I can take a couple pictures for you. It does require some modification though and some extra wiring. It's not difficult but it's certainly not something for the novice to do.
+Michael Perri how about you explain how you did it if you don't mind because I'm going crazy by not having any of the factory features working right now specially the swc
I,ve been having sooo many issues with this kit too.not worth the money.istalled at professional car audio shop and they cant believe metra will sell a crap like this module that comes with it.Not even updates will fix the issue.

+Michael Perri you should make a video of it instead since you know how to explain things
Were you able to do a video or have you taken a picture of it Michael Perri
Michael Perri Is it the same module as the Axxess ASWC-1 User interface for Honda ? Where could i buy the samething you bought ?
I have been waiting for a video on this. Thank you! I look forward to the updates.

Where did u get the radio schematic? I’m doing an upgrade on my system please let me know
John Jose Honda has a page with all the schematics. It will cost you $20 for a month so you can download everything
Hey I have a exl with premium system, How did you extend the antenna wire, since it’s no antenna plug behind radio? What extension wire should I buy?

Does metra come with all this cables u beed to convert the after market dash with the top screen?
Did this kit work. I was thinking about get the kit. I use a regular harness for a single dig radio. will that mess up the wiring? please help.

i plugged everything in and still have no steering controls only for top screen.. not volume skip track and camera on radio shows no picture
There's a control wire that needs to be connected if I remember right to flip through the top screen. I threw away my notes when I traded the car but it had a breakdown of how to make and pin the harness.
What is the item # for that main interface box from axxess?
does it able to get the back up camera and lane watch camera to work on imid screen ??
Any updates on the kit?? Is it worth buy in it?
nope not worth it. ...Youre better off buying some metra harnesses ( 70-7129 & 71-7129)and make your own wires to extend radio into the trunk.
where can i buy that kit please ?? i have a aftermarket stereo system but the imid screen didnt work...
Tobi Nguyen try this kit, it will retain everything without bugs.
www.ebay.com/itm/162423137547
Not worth it yet. Way too buggy. What I ended up doing was hiding my factory stereo behind the dash to retain the factory options.
How did you hide it behind the dash?? I can't imagine where to put it
What kind of radar detector is that? Where can i get something like that?
I have the escort built in detectors/jammer. The display is built in mirror.
Is there a model # on that?
