I just got a civic 2009 from my mother and it requires a bit of work. There's fixing the arm rest clip, changing the speakers, fixing the hail damage, etc. All overwhelming at first, and i've wanted to customize it to my liking. This video has given some newfound confidence and alleviated any concerns i've had. Didn't even know that putting in a touch screen audio unit was possible so mad props to ya crutchfield for this great video.

I have a Honda Civic from 2008. Thank you for the super detailed instructions. I think I will buy and install the navigation myself. Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands.
I purchased a similar stereo from Crutchfield for my Civic, but mine includes an amp bypass and a steering wheel control adapter. Could you make a similar video showing how to install these? This one was so good, it would be much appreciated!
Thank you for making the converter harness install so easy. Solder is so permanent and always puts me off of making any modifications to anything and the posilocks look like a great solution! Update: since this video I've bitten the bullet and installed a stereo into my car and without your tips I would never have been able to do it on my own so thanks again for this video.
Thank you for that detailed instruction on how to install double din stereo on a civic. Now I am confident and excited to install the stereo I ondered online and follow your video to a tee. You are awesome!
Thanks for the video, I followed all the instructions as you demonstrate to install my Kenwood radio and I could do it and it works perfectly. Thanks again...
No. The trim was not fully clipped back into place in that frame. The buttons will be flush when the install is complete (you can see it in subsequent frames in the video) For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly: bit.ly/2jBGHPp Hope that helps.--Crutchfield
@Crutchfield You didn't show people how to route the external mic. I normally run that up through the windshield pillar cover and up to the middle of the hood lining away from the window to reduce wind noise.
Question regarding the two screws that get removed at 2:03. I just installed using a Scosche HA1561G Dash Kit and it's nearly impossible to put those screws back into it. Is that dash kit somehow supposed to reaccept those screws? I am having my doubts because the plastic doesn't have enough rigidity, compared to the OEM metal frame, to hold in place for the screws to line up.
Looks like you'll want to match up the kit/screws to the new radio as shown on page two of the kit manual here: pdf.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageBank/v20061012103600/Manuals/142/142HA1561G.PDF
@@crutchfield I went to the hardware store and bought a set of self tapping screws with a head wide enough to hold onto the metal in the car. I also used a drill to widen the plastic frames holes so it wouldn't crack
Factory honda civic radio comes with 4 harness plugged in. The 4th one on the right(not the antenna) has the wires for your steering wheel. I dont know which on it is all i know is that one of those wires plugs into your steering wheel. And for those who connected your new radio and have no sound the baby blue wire on that 4th harness is your answer. Connect that to the blue wire and your should get sound. (Baby blue wire is your amp connector) I have 2009 honda civic ex and installed a radio without any harness. Its a bitch but it works.

At 2:45 on your video you said there are 3 grey connectors at the back of the stereo, but at 3:11 on your video, it shows 4 connectors. From left to right: The first one you connected it to the antenna adapter and the fourth one you connected it to the wiring harness adapter. At 7:40 you only connected the wiring harness and antenna harness. Where are the second and third go? Do you know what are those cable for? Because it is a video receiver, why you have to run a wire to the brake wire?
Is there a video that shows how to replace the radio with an aftermarket 06 Honda Civic with the premium setup? The adapter for the steering wheel controls as well?
How about the front tweeters ? How can I remove them without breaking anything ? This tutorial helped really much because I didn't know that the original radiopanel was an "snap-on", thank you ! (Y)
Not all versions of the Honda Civic come factory equipped with separate tweeters.

What is the exact brand and model of your speakers? 300-watts is a large amount of power, and we can match an amp to the RMS wattage specifications on your speakers perfectly. For the absolute best possible performance from any speaker, an aftermarket amp is a great call.

The parking brake wire must be attached in order to display video content with any touch screen/video screen receiver installation. Due to legal and safety reasons, you cannot view video unless your vehicle's parking brake is engaged. If you attempt to view video without the parking brake engaged, the unit's LCD touchscreen will simply display "Parking Off". Hope that helps! --Crutchfield
@ 12:23 u talk about short circuiting your speakers on the door if mounted incorrectly. how does that happen? and if something does go wrong, what are the implications of the problem?
That's more of a precautionary reminder to avoid mounting the speaker in a place where the connected speaker wires have the potential to be cut and/or damaged by corners or edges of the door panel. Hope that helps! --Crutchfield
My brake wire was green and when I finished installing it, the receiver only worked with the hand brake up, any help would be appreciated? 👍 Also my radio kit from metra didnt want to click in so it is just sticking out on its right side.
The parking brake does need to be engaged to use some features on the current AV models; but not all. Be sure to double check your connections and radio settings. If you got the radio here, you can call our Tech Support as well. Their direct number is on your invoice.
My Civic LX has dash-mounted tweeters too. Do the door speakers get full range or do they have a low pass filter? Can I disconnect the dash tweeters after I install the aftermarket door speakers?
Hi! Thanks for your question. Retaining factory really comes down the stereo's compatibility to function with the necessary steering wheel control adapters for your vehicle. One of our Advisors will be happy to go over your vehicle and your gear, and see if we can get you the proper harnesses sent out to you. www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/contact
You'll need the recommended dash mount kit even when you have the factory GPS system, yes.You can view all of the models we recommend to fit your vehicle along with the required installation accessories you'll need, by using the "Outfit My Car" application on the main Crutchfield website: bit.ly/2l32bTh For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly: bit.ly/2jBGHPp Hope that helps.--Crutchfield
2008 Civic - There is no blue wire to attach the blue antenna lead to. From what I can find the switched 12V line is the correct wire - does that sound right?
We connect to the parking brake wire because that's the proper way to install it so that all safety precautions are observed and that there are no legal issues regardless of state you are driving in
Crutchfield Thats a rather broad opinionated explanation. Ive used countless technical manuals both in the automotive and aviation industries. Power for any third party device should always be supplied from a fuseable source.
The blue radio antenna adapter wire should actually be tapped into the red wire coming from the vehicle. The antenna needs to be powered by a switched 12V wire, which is the red.
Aftermarket multi-media receivers have a parking brake sensor lead to ensure you cannot watch full-motion video content on the stereo's built-in screen unless the vehicle is parked.For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly: bit.ly/2jBGHPp Hope that helps!--Crutchfield
When you buy the radio and installation items here, you'll have the direct number for our Tech Support on your invoice. They can help with any vehicle/model specific installation needs you have as well.
Actually, yes! The radio being installed in this video does have navigation. We have a good selection of them for you to choose from on our site: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/g_182350/In-dash-GPS-Navigation.html?tp=20212 --Crutchfield
I've connected all of the like colored wires for the harness and the blue one for the antenna, but the radio never powers off once the car is turned of. It is always on and has to be powered of manually. What is causing this please?
It is hard to diagnose your exact issue from here, but it sounds like it's possible the constant power and switched power connections from your vehicle have been reversed prohibiting your radio from powering off with the key in the off position. If you ordered your radio from Crutchfield, please call our Technical Support hotline with your order number handy and we would be happy to help troubleshoot.
An aftermarket speaker adapter/bracket is required to install the aftermarket speakers in a 2006-11 Civic. We would include that bracket for free with your speaker purchase at Crutchfield though. You can view the speakers we offer for your vehicle on our website via the "OutfitMyCar" application: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/car/carselector.aspx?lp=%2fCar%2foutfitmycar%2fmycar.aspx If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to an Advisor via the "Contact Us" link at the top of the page. I hope that helps! --Crutchfield
It depends on the speakers being compared as we have different models all giving a different sound. We have advisors here that can discuss your vehicle and your audio goals to give a personal recommendation on speakers to use in it. Here's how to reach us for this help: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc227/support/ContactUs.aspx
That depends on the aftermarket stereo but most models offer a matching power antenna (blue) lead in their harness for connection to this lead.Hope that helps!--Crutchfield
That's correct in most installations; though you should always refer to the wiring instructions included with your head unit and/or wire harness to be sure. Hope that helps! --Crutchfield
Thank you so much for this video, but where did you get that harness for the door speaker??? The speakers I got didn't come with them, can I just pick some up wherever they sell speakers?
We carry those harnesses ourselves and include them free with the purchase of the speakers for the car. We also sell them when that is the only part needed. For additional assistance & personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/ContactUs.aspx I hope that helps. --Crutchfield
That will vary depending on the head unit you're installing. For more specific details on your installation, feel free to get with an Advisor on the Crutchfield website: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/Support/Chat.aspx Hope that helps --Crutchfield
That was connected around 4:04 in the video. It should be connected to the antenna turn-on lead on the new radio which is typically a blue or blue/white wire on the new radio's harness.
We have installation kits put together for specific car models that do include the steering wheel control adapter to retain your steering wheel controls. If you need help finding a radio and the installation gear for your car, we're happy to help! www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc974/support/ContactUs.aspx
This video is so helpful man. Thank you! Can you please tell me which adapter harness you used? I have a 2009 Civic which pretty much looks the same. Can you give me a link? Thanks in advance!
@@crutchfield hey thanks man! I really appreciate your reply. I actually went out and spoke to some people and found the wire harness I needed. But just to quench your curiosity I have a GX and it's a sedan.

My metra wiring harness doesn't have a blue wire for the antenna adapter, but my kenwood radio has a blue/white power control or antenna control wire, do I connect the blue wire from the antenna adapter to the blue white wire from my kenwood radio? Please help
If you no not have a motorized/amplified AM/FM antenna or an external amplifier (factory or aftermarket), you will not need to connect the Blue/white wire of the Kenwood harness to anything.Hope that helps.--Crutchfield
Crutchfield Hello there! I guess the factory amplifier at my Civic Si 2007 is the reason that speakers doesnt works. Steering wheel controls got cables at the middle or at the left ,,cube"? Still need to get to know how to connect a new radio :-/ Greetings
Do you need to disable the anti-theft radio feature of the honda civic? and Does the pry tool come with the installation kit from the Crutchfield website?
I've looked through our information on these cars but didn't see any mention of special steps to disable that; not even in our installation instructions. I don't expect that to be necessary. The pry tools are not part of the vehicle specific install gear we list of this vehicle. If you don't have any pry tools, then I highly recommend getting them and our web site is programmed to recommend them for customers who don't already have them. HTH! --Crutchfield

The Heater control panel buttons are originally popped out at @0:17, but the buttons seem to be submerged at @8:15. Anyone knows why?
The climate control buttons seem recessed in the aftermarket console piece. Any ways to avoid or fix that?
Malcolm Ivers find an oem one
he didn't put them in right
My brake wire was green and when I finished installing it, the receiver only worked with the hand brake up, any help would be appreciated? 👍 Also my radio kit from metra didnt want to click in so it is just sticking out on its right side.
The parking brake does need to be engaged to use some features on the current AV models; but not all. Be sure to double check your connections and radio settings. If you got the radio here, you can call our Tech Support as well. Their direct number is on your invoice.
There is an extra plug that went into the old factory stereo, do we just leave that cord unplugged?
Did you ever get an answer to this question?
Can you put a link on where you can buy the posi-lock twist connectors that you used on this demo
Sure:

My Civic LX has dash-mounted tweeters too. Do the door speakers get full range or do they have a low pass filter? Can I disconnect the dash tweeters after I install the aftermarket door speakers?
What is the year of the Civic?
Any advice on getting the factory steering controls to work?
Hi! Thanks for your question.
Retaining factory really comes down the stereo's compatibility to function with the necessary steering wheel control adapters for your vehicle. One of our Advisors will be happy to go over your vehicle and your gear, and see if we can get you the proper harnesses sent out to you. www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/contact
you still gotta buy this kit even if you got the navigation radio ?
You'll need the recommended dash mount kit even when you have the factory GPS system, yes.You can view all of the models we recommend to fit your vehicle along with the required installation accessories you'll need, by using the "Outfit My Car" application on the main Crutchfield website: bit.ly/2l32bTh For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly: bit.ly/2jBGHPp Hope that helps.--Crutchfield
2008 Civic - There is no blue wire to attach the blue antenna lead to. From what I can find the switched 12V line is the correct wire - does that sound right?
What model radio are you installing?
Bro never responded 💀
@@PlumbCarton5607 I figured it out on my own.
@@snidelywhiplash nice
Curious why you used the brake lead instead of a fuse tap at the panel?
We connect to the parking brake wire because that's the proper way to install it so that all safety precautions are observed and that there are no legal issues regardless of state you are driving in
Crutchfield
Thats a rather broad opinionated explanation. Ive used countless technical manuals both in the automotive and aviation industries. Power for any third party device should always be supplied from a fuseable source.
The blue radio antenna adapter wire should actually be tapped into the red wire coming from the vehicle. The antenna needs to be powered by a switched 12V wire, which is the red.
Why did you have to tap into the parking brake light? And what was that wire from the radio harness for? Please explain. Thanks
Aftermarket multi-media receivers have a parking brake sensor lead to ensure you cannot watch full-motion video content on the stereo's built-in screen unless the vehicle is parked.For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly: bit.ly/2jBGHPp Hope that helps!--Crutchfield
I just need to know a hypermarket hardness have 4 white which 2 is speaker wire and what other 2 wire are...
What about the aux input? Is there an adapter we could use instead of running a separate aux cable?
that wire you connected to the parking wire what color do you connect that to on the wiring harness for the double din ? I got a pioneer MVH-2400NEX
You are in luck! We carried that Pioneer and according to the wiring diagram for it, the Light-green wire is its parking brake detection wire.
Can you do this in the 06 civic hybrid that has the touch screen?
You would likely be best suited reaching out to an advisor for more personalized help! bit.ly/2KP1zS3
Do the controls on the steering wheel still work for controlling the new stereo
You should reach out to an advisor to explore the gear you will need to do that: bit.ly/2KP1zS3
What is the name and size of the speaker doors you use.? And how good they are.?
What about reverse-camera steering-wheel-buttons and DAB2-radio?
When you buy the radio and installation items here, you'll have the direct number for our Tech Support on your invoice. They can help with any vehicle/model specific installation needs you have as well.
@@crutchfield Alirght thanks. ................................
You're welcome.
Is there a video where they install an amplifier wiring kit to the same car
Does this stereo include Navigation?? This would be extremely helpful!
Actually, yes! The radio being installed in this video does have navigation. We have a good selection of them for you to choose from on our site: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/g_182350/In-dash-GPS-Navigation.html?tp=20212

How would I go about running a wire through the firewall in this car? It is pretty tight.
I've connected all of the like colored wires for the harness and the blue one for the antenna, but the radio never powers off once the car is turned of. It is always on and has to be powered of manually. What is causing this please?
It is hard to diagnose your exact issue from here, but it sounds like it's possible the constant power and switched power connections from your vehicle have been reversed prohibiting your radio from powering off with the key in the off position. If you ordered your radio from Crutchfield, please call our Technical Support hotline with your order number handy and we would be happy to help troubleshoot.
did you use the same adapter bracket of the factory speakers for the new speakers?
An aftermarket speaker adapter/bracket is required to install the aftermarket speakers in a 2006-11 Civic. We would include that bracket for free with your speaker purchase at Crutchfield though. You can view the speakers we offer for your vehicle on our website via the "OutfitMyCar" application: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/car/carselector.aspx?lp=%2fCar%2foutfitmycar%2fmycar.aspx
If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to an Advisor via the "Contact Us" link at the top of the page. I hope that helps!

How different would same size aftermarket speakers sound compared to the factory ones?
It depends on the speakers being compared as we have different models all giving a different sound. We have advisors here that can discuss your vehicle and your audio goals to give a personal recommendation on speakers to use in it. Here's how to reach us for this help:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc227/support/ContactUs.aspx
where do you connect the blue wire to from the antenna adapter?
That depends on the aftermarket stereo but most models offer a matching power antenna (blue) lead in their harness for connection to this lead.Hope that helps!--Crutchfield
so i can connect the amp turn on wire (blue/White) wire to the solid blue wire coming from the antenna harness?
That's correct in most installations; though you should always refer to the wiring instructions included with your head unit and/or wire harness to be sure.
Hope that helps!

Is this the way to integrate the factory amp? And does this eliminate the other harness that comes from the factory amp
Thank you so much for this video, but where did you get that harness for the door speaker??? The speakers I got didn't come with them, can I just pick some up wherever they sell speakers?
We carry those harnesses ourselves and include them free with the purchase of the speakers for the car. We also sell them when that is the only part needed. For additional assistance & personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/ContactUs.aspx
I hope that helps.
--Crutchfield
which wire did you connect to when you ran the wire from the parking brake
That will vary depending on the head unit you're installing. For more specific details on your installation, feel free to get with an Advisor on the Crutchfield website: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/Support/Chat.aspx
Hope that helps
--Crutchfield
What did you do with the blue wire that came with the antenna adapter?
That was connected around 4:04 in the video. It should be connected to the antenna turn-on lead on the new radio which is typically a blue or blue/white wire on the new radio's harness.
Does the steering wheel control still works?
We have installation kits put together for specific car models that do include the steering wheel control adapter to retain your steering wheel controls. If you need help finding a radio and the installation gear for your car, we're happy to help! www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc974/support/ContactUs.aspx
Do the rear speakers need adapter brackets also?
From what I am seeing, yes. Our advisors would love to help you get the right gear! bit.ly/2KP1zS3
Very thoughtful guide you made here 👍
Good we're glad you enjoyed it!
I didn't see it where the steering wires are attached is that possible to do with an Alpine and IXL 007
Steering wheel controls are retained by way of a vehicle specific adapter harness. What's the year make and model of your car?
This video is so helpful man. Thank you! Can you please tell me which adapter harness you used? I have a 2009 Civic which pretty much looks the same. Can you give me a link? Thanks in advance!
Gabriel, Is you civic a DX, EX, LX, or SI? Also is it the sedan or the coupe? did it have factory navigation?
@@crutchfield hey thanks man! I really appreciate your reply. I actually went out and spoke to some people and found the wire harness I needed. But just to quench your curiosity I have a GX and it's a sedan.
I need help for a si 09 with the
Factory navigation....n my si is a coupe
Would you know if the stereo unit compatible for a rear view cam install?

My metra wiring harness doesn't have a blue wire for the antenna adapter, but my kenwood radio has a blue/white power control or antenna control wire, do I connect the blue wire from the antenna adapter to the blue white wire from my kenwood radio? Please help
If you no not have a motorized/amplified AM/FM antenna or an external amplifier (factory or aftermarket), you will not need to connect the Blue/white wire of the Kenwood harness to anything.Hope that helps.--Crutchfield
Crutchfield Hello there! I guess the factory amplifier at my Civic Si 2007 is the reason that speakers doesnt works. Steering wheel controls got cables at the middle or at the left ,,cube"? Still need to get to know how to connect a new radio :-/ Greetings
Koniec7 how did u install your amp and steering wheel controls
Do you need to upgrade the radio ? For new speakers?
You can upgrade the speakers without upgrading the radio.
Do you need to disable the anti-theft radio feature of the honda civic? and Does the pry tool come with the installation kit from the Crutchfield website?
I've looked through our information on these cars but didn't see any mention of special steps to disable that; not even in our installation instructions. I don't expect that to be necessary.
The pry tools are not part of the vehicle specific install gear we list of this vehicle. If you don't have any pry tools, then I highly recommend getting them and our web site is programmed to recommend them for customers who don't already have them. HTH!
--Crutchfield
Do I just search for pry tools in the search box on the website? Thanks so much for the quick response.
