Thanks very helpful. I used a mirror to see those 8 mill bolts, I couldn’t find those things without it. Don’t confuse the 8 mills with the 10 mills that are also under there. Thanks again, excellent video, you saved me about $150. Cheers
There’s a plate underneath the pull out glove box that will give you some wiggle room to get to the 8mm which can also be removed with a phillips. There is a hole to the right where you don’t want to let the 8mm fall. Consider covering that with a sandwich bag before attempting to remove the 8mm. Thanks for this video. I have a 2015.
I RECENTLY REMOVED MY FACTORY STEREO ON MY HONDA , THIS VIDEO REALLY HELPED ME ACCOMPLISHED THAT, BUT MAN I JUST DONT KNOW WHY HONDA MAKES IT SO HARD TO GET TO THE STEREO OH , AND IF YOU WANT TO REPLACE THE REAR SPEAKERS ,,,FORGET ABOUT IT..
This vid was spot-on. It helped me remove my radio from my 13 sport. However- those 2 damn 8mm bolts took me 1.5 hours to get out! They are buried up in the dash and I was upside down, left, right, banging my head against the shifter, etc trying to get those bastards out!
I just pulled out the factory head unit in my 2016 Sport and 9 wired the 8 speaker wires and the 12v+ switched lead to the remote (blue) on the 9-wire out and also ran a second 9-wire for the amp output to the factory speaker harnesses (well.... 8 wired, I cut out the remote blue wire on the return run since it wasn't needed.) I thought those 8mm bolts would be tough. They are a little strangely placed, but I didn't have to do much to get them out. Here's what you need to do it fast and right: 1. A six inch 1/4" ratchet extension 2. 1/4" universal joint socket on the end of the extension 3. an 8mm 1/4" drive socket on the end of the universal joint 4. all that attached to your favorite small 1/4" drive ratchet I used the socket on the extensions and seated in the driver seat (normally seated - not upside down or anything crazy) I used both hand to find the head of the 8mm bolt and guide the socket onto it. Then I simply kept one hand holding pressure on the socket and extension to keep it in place, affixed my ratchet to the other end, and simply backed it out. I kept my hand on the bolt and socket as I guided it out to prevent dropping it. That's it. Literally 90 seconds for both and done. Installation is just the reverse except you hand thread it (with socket and extension) before applying any torque to prevent cross-threading. I hope this helps! Now my breaks over I've got to go replace my 8ga run with a 4ga run and move my amp from the trunk to under my driver seat. Great video - this was super helpful!
@@gqneon - I'm late on this, butttttttttt if I got a 2016 V6 Touring model with GPS /Lane Assistance/Sensor for nearby objects = Crutchfield and my Geek Squad tech told me to NOT mess with it. Is this a FACT ?
Can I pop that panel off around the radio without ripping the whole thing out? I just want to take that plastic out and wrap it in vinyl. It started to melt
Hello there! Thanks for the video. I am sure it has helped many people. I have some physical damage to my factory stereo unit (around the vents and some buttons are in bad shape) in my Accord 2013 LX sedan. If I replace my factory stereo unit with the same stereo unit from another Accord will I be able just to do it DIY unplugging old unit and plugging in new one? Or do I need to take it to a professional so that they can set up the new stereo unit with my car? Hope you can help me.
is there any way I can make the stock screen work on my 2016 honda accord? i mean I replaced the stock stereo for a pineer 7200 and now the stock ( top screen ) won't go on and it's not compatible with the aftermarket radio, is there any way I can make it work?
Same here. Installed a Sony XAV-AX5000 in my girlfriend's car and would love carplay in my 2014 Accord EX (without having to bury the stock head unit or MickeyMouse things) Wondering if we could buy a 2016 Accord radio and just do a swap.
Question. I have my 2014 Honda Accord and I got my system installed at a shop when I back up my music stops or change to radio. And when I try to turn down the volume it dose nothing and when i use source for my oem navigation screen it also change my in dash system . Do I need to restarting and program it to except my new system I have the Axxess system hook up to my system to keep my controls
Where are you located? I love how you do your work with care. I have a 2017 Accord, and want to switch up my stereo, but I'm afraid to go, "just" anywhere.
Thanks for uploading this! It's super easy to follow. Would you be able to tell me the name of the part you removed at 0:59 ? I need to fix that or possibly replace it as well.
What are the parts of the wrench called that you use?...You say "8mill" are you referring to a 8mm metric screw?? Because I have the same car and would like to replace the car radio and would like to buy the tools you used. Could you please specify the tool s for me.Thanx
+Hexarmin Ok I ordered a 1/4 ich wratchet and suitable extentions. Then I also ordered a set of metric sockets 4-12mm and the plastic tools for plying the dashboard... here we go!
I want to install the NAVIKS mirroring system to the radio, I was wondering if there's enough space behind the radio to mount the system in there? If possible can you give me some tips on how to do that, maybe even a tutorial video? Thanks for reading this anyway
I have some sort of spots on the inside of the plastic lens of the display. If I remove the display from the dash, does the plastic lens cover come off to allow me to clean it on the inside?
Great detailed Video...I just recently bought a 2017 Honda Accord Sport. The radio in this trim level on comes with the basic radio. There is no apple play or NAVI. So i was wondering If i was to get my hands on a radio that's came out out of touring that has APPLE IPLAY and NAVIi would i be able to swap out the basic and put this one in? would it be plug and play and if so would i then have apple play and NAVI? Please let me know your thoughts
Sal Santiago actually you can't do that thing. I've been watching a lot of tutorial video about that problem. You have to buy a new double DIN dash kit to replace the factory thing. And then you also need to buy a DVD player come with NAvi. All of those about $1100
How will this this work with a factory rear backup camera? And if I put in aftermarket head unit/speakers/tweeters/subs, will I still be able to use the factory installed bluetooth microphone and steering wheel mounted radio controls? I've had poor experiences with the bluetooth mics of aftermarket head units in the past. Thanks
is there any way I can make the stock screen work on my 2016 honda accord? i mean I replaced the stock stereo for a pineer 7200 and now the stock ( top screen ) won't go on and it's not compatible with the aftermarket radio, is there any way I can make it work?
if you remove the compartment below the unit and put it back in last, you should be able to get to all the connections for the HU with it as close as you can get it
Kyle Keyes not that important to be honest I didn’t feel like reaching in there to put them back in so I just didn’t put them lol. just make sure you put the two that go on the top and you’ll be fine
Question would I be able to replace that stereo with the oem screen from another honda accord and will it be plug and play or do I need something else. Would replace it with an oem honda screen not an after market one
I have a 2015 Honda Accord Sport same dash with reverse camera. Is there a issue if I replace the factory CD player and install after market or will it continue working? Also reading the manuals online it's saying I have 6 speakers but mine looks to only have 4 am I over looking something or is it optional for 6 and the speaker hasn't been installed? Thanks for your help.
If equipped with Bluetooth easier access to remove the module two 7mm screws. My advice is throw those two 8mm lower screws away. Pain in the ass to remove.
I had an after market blue tooth radio in my old car. When I got my 2014 Honda Accord, I was pleased my phone connected, but the ease of use compared to my old after market isn't even close. The after market connected instantly after I started the car, on the Honda, I have to push buttons to make the connection, frequently. Bluetooth connects very slowly, and starts slowly. I'm two blocks from home before it connects. The After market model started immediately. I never use the on dash navigation, I use my phone. With the after market, when I used the USB plug, it switched immediately. With the Honda, when It's connected via Bluetooth, and I plug in the USB cable, it just stops. it's a real drag. Looking for a way to improve my Honda system.
I don't know why people want to remove a factory navigation system from a car like this for. The factory HU is perfert but without the RCA outputs. Who ever car that is should of went with the option on installing a 360.3 or a audison bit ten D
You are to careless to be professional to me . No towles to protect anything and two many damn tools in your hands when you shouldn't. You could of scratched alot of stuff up and you made me to damn nervous the way you work. I would fire you
This video would be even better if it were paired in a series showing the installation of the new receiver.
Thanks very helpful. I used a mirror to see those 8 mill bolts, I couldn’t find those things without it. Don’t confuse the 8 mills with the 10 mills that are also under there.

Yeah I should’ve done that lol I dropped it in there had to remove the whole entire panel in the middle
lol, I never write anything on these but I thought I can’t let someone else go through it 😂
Well, I didn't lose the screw... but I did lose my 8mm socket, lol
You the man!!! Saved me a bunch of broken parts for sure lol
