Richard Vedvik Hello I would like to know, if I buy the same radio that you have I only need to connect the cables of my normal radio and it will work my car is a 2015 honda accord sport
Michael sommers the premium touchscreen models have external components for FM, XM, ANC, HFL, and amplification. Those harnesses are not compatible with a Sport and would need to be rewired by hand, with the purchase of each component and wiring harness. Relocation of the sport HU to the trunk is easier and cheaper and allows for the install of an aftermarket double din.
Hi Richard, very nice to find some one who really knows about the accord audio system. I have a 2014 accord hybrid direct import from Japan. With navigation. The system runs in Japanese. It would be great if you could advice me in figuring out what part I need to change to get it running in English. Thank you in advance.
Eranjan Venura Parua i would initially assume it would just be the head unit. The FM amplifier may also need adjustment. First step would be taking photos of the rear of your head unit to compare with the US version for connector compatibility. I have US schematics but not Japan.
Please need help have a 2014 honda accord regular want to change the factory reset radio to a 2015 premium touch screen like the one you have, just want to know if the components fits the the original radio
Hi there. This is not a trivial amount of effort. There is more info here: www.driveaccord.net/threads/2014-sport-swapping-hu-for-premium-touchscreeen.405098/ Basically, you have to custom-wire the head unit. The only wiring that matches is the main harness, the iMid harness, the rear camera harness, and the USB harness. FM/AM, Bluetooth, XM, and Amplification are all external on the touch screen and each has wiring and components that are not in the vehicle (with pushbutton). I did without FM/AM and XM. I have external amplifiers. I did source a matching bluetooth module and custom -built the harness by sourcing the OEM harness and pinning it myself.
That looks awesome! If I didn't upgrade to the touchscreen module, how much do you have invested into these upgrades? Total: wire harnesses, etc. Thank you
the touchscreen was $240 as a salvage (taken out of a wrecked 2015). HFL module to regain BT will be another $80. FM is also external and you'd need that tuner . in my case, the aftermarket single DIN handles SQ listening /judging and the touchscreen is daily/convenient SQ. I haven't needed to buy harnesses, just get units with the harness wires cut off (some sellers offer harnesses separate).
nice upgrade, hey man i have 2015 exl v6, i have kicker kx1200.1 and 2 12s compr and the epicenter by audio control, i need to know if i have to use my line driver to get signal before tha amp, i i can use my low level converter to get signal afther amp, all tha music i listen to, don't has bass, thanks
Sorry for the poor video, I need to redo this one to describe the process in more detail. It's a PITA and nothing I recommend. Possible, yes. Difficulty, 11 out of 10.
How did you solder the rca pigtails because is 3 wire per channel i think, also the oem unit has the bass roll off or it’s done at the oem amplifier? Thank you
The touchscreen HU has a balanced output so two signal wires and one shield. With balanced inputs on the PXA-H800 i only needed the signal wires. Shield is ground and I have grounds tied separately. The touchscreen HU has no bass roll off, it has a flat response. Any EQ or ANC is at the factory amp. Today, it makes more sense to upgrade to a 2016 or 2017 model for CarPlay or Android Auto, and deal with the fitment issues (different sizes, slightly).
Richard Vedvik ah ok, i have the 2015 exl v6 model, and i said how the solder 3 wire in 2 rca wires haahaha, I’m gonna install the audiocontrol dm-810 sound processor they told me accept balanced differential inputs too
Hey Richard, is it possible to swap out the head unit in a 2015 Honda accord sport with this unit in your video? My end goal is to get CarPlay working but I didn’t hear you mention anything about CarPlay.
Hi, John. I don't have an iPhone so I wasn't able to check carplay. You need more than the head unit, you need all of the external components as well for FM, BT, HFL, and an amplifier. All that requires custom wiring as well. If you sourced a 2015 Touring model head unit, and got all of the external components, you would have all of the features of that head unit and system.
So I’m trying to do exactly this but with my 2017 Honda Accord sport replacing the radio with a factory touch screen radio from a 2017 Honda Accord hybrid EX-L and what to keep all the imid and vehicle settings and basically work just like u did in this video I wanted to ask if I would need any extra wires or harness to make it work properly
A ton of work is required including building custom wire harnesses while sourcing factory terminals since the wiring between the two trim levels is totally different. Also, you need to source all of the external components - the FM tuner, the HFL/BT module, the amplifier, the ANC module, etc. are all external and separately wired.

Possible, yes. very time consuming and expensive to buy each separate piece and custom wire everything. beat bet is find a wrecked EX-L and have all of the components removed with harnesses. separate HFL, tuners, amp, etc. different cameras and triggers. you will need schematics for both cars.
Jose Gómez to take a sport to touch screen you need to get all external components and wiring harnesses. Much more than a simple swap, all harnesses are different and all features are external, including amplification, fm tuner, xm tuner, hfl, anc, and bt.

You need much more than the radio. Everything is external You need the FM tuner, HFL module, and the external amplifier. ANC and XM are optional. You also need all of the wiring harnesses from each piece (i.e. a few inches of wire left on each harness) since that wiring doesn't exist nor do the harnesses match. Then you need to pay someone to custom wire all of the wire harnesses, assume 10 hours of effort at the standard labor rate in your area + wiring costs.
how hard is it to re wire scale from 1 to 10 ..i dont needs to re wire front and back speakers since ill do a new set of 14 gauge wire from the aftermarket amp..thanks.
difficulty depends on how many factory features are being moved over since the touch screen model has external tuners, HFL, XM, ANC and different cameras. the car comes apart easily (in my opinion). I give it a 5 or 6 but as an electrical engineer this work is fairly easy but very time consuming.
+Richard Vedvik i dont really needs much to swicth over ..just the hu power up and ipod playing ,back up camera and steering wheel control ..did search your build thread and read it all ..i don't think i can do it by myself.if i order a upgrades hu on ebay with harness..will u walks me though it if i pm u!?
Hi, friend. I hope that you help me. I want change my radio, I have the Accord 13 LX, but the part number I not found, is 39100-t2a-x002. Do you think that I can install a radio with other part number? Thanks.
Gilberto Ovalles Yee are you looking to put an aftermarket head unit in? If so, you have three primary options. 1. Buy the expensive Metra kit which retains the 8" iMid screen. 2. Bury the factory radio in the dash to retain the 8" iMid screen. 3. Add a head unit to the lower pocket area, retaining the stock HU and wiring into the aftermarket AUX input.
If instead you want a different stock radio, like I did, it's really difficult to change to touch screen like I did because FM, BT, Amplification are all separate pieces that need custom wired. A 2014-2015 LX, Sport, or EX push button should be a direct swap.
Richard Vedvik not my friend. I will explain, I have the Accord 2013 but the version LX in Mexico does not include reverse camera (not present the connector for camera) but I check the US version LX if include this function for camera. My cuestion is if I can install other oem radio with other part number that can works.
Richard Vedvik I installed reversa camera aftermarket but it work on the rearview mirror. I want connect the camera to the new radio with this adapter car-solutions.com/en/car-camera-connection-cable-for-8-honda-i-mid-monitors.php
is there any way I can make the top screen work? I mean I took my car to the Stereo shop and they replaced the original radio for an alpine 7200 but my top screen doesn't even turn on anymore and they said there is nothing they can do..I have a 2016 Honda accord sport by the way and I'm really worry they messed something up because my factory screen was working perfectly fine and now it doesn't even turn on..do you have any idea if there is something they can do because I paid 2k for everything please let me know thanks.
UNIQUE PAINTING they don't know what they are doing. the top screen is controlled by the factory radio. most will bury the original HU in the dash. also, there is a $400 Metra kit that controls the factory screen, albeit poorly.
ELEGANT CUSTOM PAINTING wow, you got screwed. No decent shop would have left you with a top screen that won't power on. Most bury the old HU in the dash so the top screen still works. Or you can locate to the trunk, although that is a bit harder
approximately how much was this upgrade and was it worth it? I have a 2014 accord sport and want to upgrade the stereo, but don't want to lose a lot of factory functions
Hello, I'm trying to do this on my 2014 Honda Accord sport. Can you tell me the exact link that I need to get this to work and what steps I need to take. Thanks
Sorry for the delay. I use the premium touchscreen for most listening but my aftermarket single-din is used for SQ listening and IASCA competition. the single din could be removed but it functions as volume controller for the PXA-H800 as well as an SQ source.
If you're willing to rewire all separate components (BT, FM, amplification, etc) then yes, the units are physically interchangeable. They are not wired the same so the trick is finding all of the harnesses and components.
regi mathew, the cost us based on materials and labor. materials are easier to determine, just choose new or used and search for parts. the touch screens have external components the base model does not so you'll need to wire all components. you can buy the premium harnesses but they are pricey. you can custom wire but that is labor intensive.
cristofer gomez You will need all of the external components some of which are mounted at the rear of the vehicle .FM, XM, ANC, and HFL Modules are external and required and need to be wired .The wiring in the sport is different
Adding the OEM premium +GPS unit basically requires buying all of the components from the Touring model and wiring them yourself, including buying/building the harnesses. An aftermarket solution is much more reasonable.
nagmstar sorry for the delay, i just saw your question. a swap to navi is possible with enough parts, but it will be tedious. you can view the necessary parts by comparing exploded diagrams with factory schematics. custom wiring will be needed unless you buy the factory wiring.
I have a 2015 Honda Accord LX I want to change the head unit to a touch screen. Can I purchase a OEM touch screen unit and from the same year and just swap it out. Can I do that and will it work?

Tedious. Premium head unit has all external modules for FM, BT, HFL besides amplification. Non of that wiring is provided in the lower trims. Premium HU has a clean 3V RMS balanced output, which is why I'm using it. iMid screen, USB, main power, and steering audio controls are the same, vehicle controls are the same.

Is this possible on a 2017 accord sport se?
If you're willing to rewire all separate components (BT, FM, amplification, etc) then yes, the units are physically interchangeable. They are not wired the same so the trick is finding all of the harnesses and components.
How much would it cost to upgrade the system you did if u don't mind telling coz looks neat like a luxury car ?
regi mathew, the cost us based on materials and labor. materials are easier to determine, just choose new or used and search for parts. the touch screens have external components the base model does not so you'll need to wire all components. you can buy the premium harnesses but they are pricey. you can custom wire but that is labor intensive.
Thanks for the reply
I'd estimate the upgrade around $1k-$2k if you combine materials with labor.
I paid $250 for a salvage head unit. You may want HFL, XM, ANC, Tuner, or the amplifier.
Sir i have a complete dash with gps and the touch screen its 2014 its can work on my sport
cristofer gomez You will need all of the external components some of which are mounted at the rear of the vehicle .FM, XM, ANC, and HFL Modules are external and required and need to be wired .The wiring in the sport is different
Hi dear , where i can find gps screen for my honda accord LXI 2014 ?
Adding the OEM premium +GPS unit basically requires buying all of the components from the Touring model and wiring them yourself, including buying/building the harnesses. An aftermarket solution is much more reasonable.
i have 2 screens but the head unit is not navigation and have no phone , can I swap to navigation and what parts I need. thanx.
nagmstar sorry for the delay, i just saw your question. a swap to navi is possible with enough parts, but it will be tedious. you can view the necessary parts by comparing exploded diagrams with factory schematics. custom wiring will be needed unless you buy the factory wiring.
I have a 2015 Honda Accord LX I want to change the head unit to a touch screen. Can I purchase a OEM touch screen unit and from the same year and just swap it out. Can I do that and will it work?
Martin Abreu III here is my process

Hello. Have you done it
@@richardvedvik979 link no good. Can you verify this?
Is the 16-17 EX head units compatible to all model year LX and Sport?
oh ok, but i don't want add stereo, only epicenter and sub, i need to know where to get signal, before amp or after amp, thanks for you reply
before the amp has a flat response. after the amp has bass removed (high pass filter and ANC ). tap before the amp and connect to the epicenter RCA inputs. my build log has the wire harness pin-out
Ok, i don't need line driver, i can use rca pigtails right?
+Jiap Aguilar correct, no line driver necessary.
hey my car is 2014 sport as well. do you know if it is possible to upgrade the head unit with the factory radio control unit of the ex 2015 h accord. and do you know the name of the harness that you bought for yours ?

Does it have GPS in the unit?
David Delgado no, it doesn't seem to. I don't have that equipment connected.
Was this a plug and play?
In the responses below I explain the complicated and expensive process. Please review and let me know if you have a question on those responses.
Will this work in a 2015 Honda Accord exl
How can I contact you for some questions
JDM Miami 786 you can find me on several forums, including DriveAccord.net, HondaAccordForum.com, and CarAudio.com. i go by keep_hope_alive.
Richard Vedvik oh okay and I want too know what did You use for all that installation too the car it’s clean and I want too do that too my car
JDM Miami 786 no problem, i have detailed build logs in the forums listed also.
Richard Vedvik okay how but for the other 2 things you install too the car can I get all the things you used so I can get them
I got a 2014 accord honestly the audio system sucks.has lots of destortion.iam getting ready to do full rockford fosgate system with 215s
Agreed. The factory EQ is the worst part of the system.
Thats just to much going on...
Barry Monroy agreed, glad I can hide the controller and second HU. anything for SQ in IASCA.
ok thanks
Hey what's the procedure of swapping out the 2014 accord ex factory head unit with the 2014 exl touchscreen head unit?
Tedious. Premium head unit has all external modules for FM, BT, HFL besides amplification. Non of that wiring is provided in the lower trims. Premium HU has a clean 3V RMS balanced output, which is why I'm using it. iMid screen, USB, main power, and steering audio controls are the same, vehicle controls are the same. I have some detailed threads on driveaccord.net and hondaaccordforum.com as keep_hope_alive
