My local dealer is looking tommorow in the electric manual from a 1.4S because there it works

I hope there is something to connect (connectors from a 1.4S) to the OEM headunit and so too the Pioneer...

I would be great, if you could get the information how to do it. Please share the info to me, too!
I'm too crazy with changing the OEM head unit, if the cables are too short, I'll extend them! But it has to go!

There exists a mod but it cost between 250 and 300 euro's

So i did it like you said...extend them and the headunit with the printplate in the glovebox

Nice work! Do you have name and/or part number for that kit to take away the OEM radio. I'm interested in that and so is one of my customers, too.

Interface is the name but the partnumber

The thing is that i still can change the clock now otherwise it would be a problem
And i've still got enough room in the glovebox.

Is there not anyone who is willing to do a write up on this, as i would be interested in doing it in the future, but im not that knowlegable on this sort of thing im afraid.

In the new civic accessory overview there is a seperate 2 DIN navigation unit. (http://www.honda-access.com/uk/en/Images/74486.pdf Page 20 on the top). If it is possible to fit this one without the standard headunit, there has to be an adapter to let the screen work. And it has to be possible with all 1 and 2 DIN units. Is the back of the standard radio normal 1 DIN size? If so, it can be put in het same holder as for the cassette player in the glovebox. I can't find an adapter for the steeringwheel controls for this Honda, does someone know if this is available?

Unfortunately the replacement fascia which is shown in the previous threads is not available for UK models and has implications for the Warranty. Below is the email I received from Honda UK today.

"The dashboard area surrounding the stereo in the UK model Civic's is not
compatible to accept the facia shown in your attachment, this is because
the stereo in the UK Civic as been integrated into the dashboard and is
not simply a removable item like stereos in previous Honda models.
If you wished to modify your Civic to match that in your attachment, it
would require replacing an entire section of your dashboard, which we
would not recommend, as this could possibly invalidate your warranty (in
part or in full), render your steering wheel controls useless and would
be a costly expense to do so."

That confirms it then, Looks crap anyway!

Very expensive crap indeed

Glass Spider · 19th February 2007, 21:45

I'd rather defecate on my bonnet naked whilst screaming don't take my brain away than have that installed

Anyone know where spider lives? I'd like to fit one overnight!

pfff - that's quite inflexible to be honest. So much for considering an integrated DVD playback system. Obviously there is the (quite pricey) unit for putting a 3rd party video signal into the screen as a mock up reversing camera signal, but there's no provision for sound (have to use an iPod input or similar) and you still have to locate somewhere for the actual DVD drive.

There MUST be a better solution to this.

I went in to my local dealership today and got a print out of the parts list for the dash. There is a stereo facia adaptor for right hand drive models available honda do in fact list it.I have a picture and price, its really expensive at £74.89 + vat just for the surround the pocket is another £29.08 + vat so you are looking at £122.16 before you even buy another stereo...Ouch
Still I am very tempted to buy one so I can put a proper stereo in my car

Misstings · 15th June 2007, 19:58

Any chance of posting the picture please

madmallyuk · 16th June 2007, 14:34

my localdealer (winchester) statesthere is only lefthand drive fascias. Bert - Can we see proof as I willbuy one for sure

Rizlam · 16th June 2007, 21:10

BERT · 17th June 2007, 19:40

BERT · 17th June 2007, 19:46
