- Whilst installing this radio I thought a video would be helpful for others. It's a little rough but I think provides some key detail that many doing the same would like to know. Some handy resources provided below - if I have time I'll write a short guide on my blog at a later date.
I fitted this radio using the Connects2 kit that included everything for full functionality. The onboard computer works, reverse camera works, steering wheel controls and bluetooth controls.

Hi Chris, another thank you here from down in Essex! This is probably the only video on TH-cam that shows the key points to this kind of installation where I got stuck a couple of times, so thank you for taking the time to do it. 🙌🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You for that useful video 🙂🙂🙂
Awesome video. I'm going to upgrade my Civic stereo as it's pants. I am going to buy the stereo fascia from Aliexpress, but it states 9 inch. The 2 din stereo is 7 inch. Can you tell me if that thin surround 5:35 comes with the stereo, or did you purchase it separately? And did you find a better looking surround? Thanks mate!
I got all the stuff on a website mentioned in the video.
Hi Chris, Great video! very helpful as i'm about to replace my Civic head unit. The cabling for the steering controls for the (4:00) answering the phone, where does this originate? i see you've run it to the bluetooth module in the glovebox, it's not obvious to me where the cabling is from.
The connection was removed from the bluetooth module above the glovebox. At that timestamp I'm showing how I connected it to the Connects2 harness.
Hi Chris, This is a really helpful video, thank you. Did you have to install the new microphone or was using the original an option?
Thank you. I had to use the additional microphone, it wasn’t difficult to install and sounded great.
Hi Chris, big thanks for the video, its really helpful for me replacing the headunit for the first time, have you tried to connect the original reverse camera from the small dash monitor to your new sony radio? I am tempted to try it out but would like to seek some advice beforehand, many thanks in advance
I didn't, sorry. Used the reverse camera on the original dashboard screen.
@@chr15bno problem, thanks mate
Nice vid👍 I bought a 9th gen civic a few days ago, Im planning to replace the headunit because i can’t install google map or else, the android firmware can’t be updated. can u put the reverse camera screen to show on the head unit?
I’m not sure, sorry.
Hello, can you confirm on the smaller screen - the one with mpg etc, does it still display mpf correctly? I notice in your video it says MPG but there is no value there? Does this screen work properly? Thanks
Yes, none of that is impacted.
With there was an option for the Peugeot, problem is, all the fans and temp etc are controlled through the head unit 🙄 No car play for me 😕
Great video man. I am thinking about doing this to with my honda civic. Just have a question, do the usb under your armrest still work into your aftermarket stereo. Or will they just be useless now because you can't plug them into it?
Thanks. The USB in the armrest doesn’t work but I’ve run the USB from the aftermarket radio into the armrest and it’s much the same.
@@chr15b is that because you haven’t connected the armrest usb to the headunit?
@@whisky6 There’s an additional cable you can buy that allows you to connect the Car’s USB port to the head unit. This’ll allow you to use the built-in USB in the armrest.
@@EliasAnto can you share a link to that one please
Great video. I’m locked out of the OEM unit after a BetterHelp replacement and looks like I’m going to have to fit an aftermarket unit, is it always messes art to buy a connector kit before using an aftermarket unit? I’m trying to keep costs down
hello,
nice work.
Do you lose the default vehicle settings if the head unit is replaced? Such as MPG figures etc.
No you can still access all those, and the standard reverse camera.
Do you just have a lose cable for the usb in the glovebox? And is the old usb non functional?
Hi - I ran the USB to the armrest.
Hello my car has a Dolby Digital and DTS logo on the current screen. Does this unit support that do I have to be careful which unit I get to maintain that support?
I'm not sure, mines didn't have this.
Hi mate. Wondering if your car came with factory subwoofer and also after some time whats your feedback on usability of the radio?
No mines didn’t have the subwoofer, I think the “EX” may have. The long term review is great, love the radio.
@@chr15b thank you. 👍🏻
Hello, I have the same kit you have, I have installed mine but I get this static hissing noise when no audio is playing. Do you have that by any chance??
No, no issues.
Hi Chris does that radio have Google maps?
Yes, via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Hi, How did you know how to take all the panels off? I have the version with the subwoofer and I need to find the amplifier because I think one channel is faulty.
Trial and error I'm afraid.
@@chr15b It was fiddly, but I just about managed to replace the amp with only taking the two small panels off either side of the centre console. Thanks 😀
Can anyone, PLEASE, tell me how to get to the back of the small Honda IMID display? I'm trying to access the 32 pin cable at the back of the screen.
Also, where is the handrests usb other end? 😅 I had the button radio and usb in the handtest, now I have a different touchscreen unit with an usb adapter, but I can't find the usb's other end under the front dashboard.
Hi. Did you honda have a day nav radio in prior to your new set I don't seem to be able to get a conversion it to covert my to a touch screen modern set cheese lucy
Hi Lucy - No my model didn't have navigation.
Hi Chris, where did you attach the handbrake wire to?
I didn’t attach it to anything Grant. Wasn’t really sure I had to?
Did you get the usb to work in the centre console?
I ran the cable from the radio to the armrest.
Can you fit the honda screen into one with the standard head unit?
Sorry I'm not sure what you mean?
@@chr15b Some honda civics have a factory fitted screen but mine doesn't i can't find out if it can be fitted in in mine in place of the standard head unit.
Hi mate, how does this work with the I-Mid? I've heard that the clock can no longer be set with an after market HU. The MPG functionality/history also effected? It's the only thing stopping me from going for an aftermarket HU. I have a 2013 EX Cheers!
I was still able to change the clock, see the MPG and lost absolutely no functionality at all. I can't confirm if the same would apply to the EX model though.
Does your car have a rear camera fitted ?
It does yes, the reversing camera isn’t impacted by the change.
@@chr15b Can I connect a reversing camera to the car play screen?
@@tedb5432 Yes that unit supports a reverse camera. You’ll need to wire it in though, covered in the manual.
Sony which Model?
I don’t want to come across as unhelpful but this is mentioned in the video description and video itself. Take a look…
@@chr15bhi when I click on the link nothing loads, if you still remember the model that would be really helpful
@@temi652 It's in the description also. XAV-AX3005DB
