03-07 Accord Android Radio Install! (PART 1: Removal and Installation)

[@NoPointOfThis123]

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (ALSO : XTRONS has updated the unit since my video was released. I have added 2 different versions to the description) Q: Why not just by this ebay radio for half the price? They look the same after all. A: Although they may look the same on the outside, the radios are completely different in function. I have no personal experience with other brands, so you make find air conditioning, steering wheel controls, and other features to not work properly. Q: Is this video sponsored by XTRONS? A: No, I purchased this myself with little knowledge about it. I discovered this brand by doing research, but once I found it to work so well, I decided to share it with the rest of the Accord community. Q : Why doesn't my climate control work? A : Make sure your unit is made by XTRONS. All of the aftermarket head units for Accords look nearly identical, but have different software and wiring. Q : Mine is XTRONS but climate control still doesn't work. A : The unit seen in this video has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Since then, they have updated it to have 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage, but some have reported issues with that version. Make sure you have the 2/16 version to prevent issues, or contact XTRONS if you already have the 4/64 and it isn't working. I personally don't have any experience with the updated models, so just check the reviews first to play it safe. Q : Does it have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto? A : No, it doesn't come with it. But you can buy an CarPlay or Android Auto USB dongle and plug it into the USB ports. Q : Does the storage compartment still open? A : Yes it does, just be sure to zip tie all the wires up and out of the way. Q : Do the AC buttons light up? A : They are kinda dim, but yes they light up enough to read at night. Q : What dash kit/radio install kit do I need? A : None. It fits in the stock radio spot without any adapters. Q : Can I use a back up camera? A : Yes, plug the included harness into the back of the unit, and hook the camera too it. Then tap the wire labeled "reverse" on the main harness into the reverse lights.

If the bass was not to your liking you need to adjust it to your preference. This thing has a built in DSP and EQ... you can make it have more bass than the stock stereo. Just installed the new one with dual climate control and a reverse camera in my daughters 04 coupe and I love it. I got the most expensive version and it was a simple install, ac controls work great. IMO, this thing is a must for these older accords.I ve been in to car audio my whole life, and what you get for 400 bucks is quite impressive.

CANBUS is not for steering wheel controls, it is for the cars software to feel ok when you take off or change electronics. Almost every important part of the modern cars has its own sensors for damage or failure, if you take off any of them while battery is connected to system, the software of the car is gonna think there is issues on that part because connections lost and come back or not. Even if you change the headlight bulbs, some cars giving error on display and keeps warning. Canbus makes it feel safe for car systems. Nice work by the way, keep it up

Order placed on Amazon. $440 CAD tax/ship in. Thanks for the video. It's a reasonable cost IMO for maybe 3-5 years left in the car.

[@frankunderwood8357]

Tried one of these and I was not impressed. The AC temperature regulation is not as refined as with the stock unit. It tended to shift a lot between hotter and colder air instead of giving a steady temperature. The buttons for the AC is also small and cheap feeling. The original unit has a good amplifier witch produces good sound quality and bass response. The touch screen model had very little base and did not sound good. My suggestion to anyone considering this is to not waste your money and get an ISO adapter cable that you plug into the original head unit leads and replace the small compartment below the original unit with a 1 or 2 DIN head unit.

[@xavarmu]

How? The ISO thing

[@josevazquez4125]

I bought my android radio from eBay. Another brand. Followed your instruction. They worked great except the Brake wire. Mine is on a separate cable. It has about 4 wires. Brake, IR, etc. Will try it before I solder the Brake wire to ground. Also my antenna wire just barely fit. Squeezed it in. I'll have to buy an extension or go behind the glove box and see if it's tie wrapped behind it. Thank you for the video. It looks Marvelous.

[@ScreenPrintR]

Radio seems to work fine except two issues: 1) a little static. Bought an Antenna extension. Will install next weekend. 2) USB's don't work. Are there settings for the USB's? The cables only fit in one plug. They match exactly. Any tips on the antenna and/or USB's?

[@ScreenPrintR]

Added antenna extension. Radio receiver works great. USB's are fine. Have iPhone lightening cable issue. Hooked up Back-up camera. Both me and the radio/head unit made mistakes. Trouble shot by using another camera and monitor. Hooked them up to isolate the problem. Couple of wires not connected right. Supplier diagram showed only one power wire connected. Wrong, connect Front CVVIn to yellow video feed going to camera. Connect wire that says BACK, to the Video feed red wire. In the trunk/boot, connect video feed to camera, and red power to camera power, and reverse back-up light power wire. Becareful. If you short the reverse wire you can blow a fuse. 21 under the dash for me. Swapped with number 20 until I got home. Unwired reverse, changed fuse and corrected the reverse light wiring.

Also, I see "4G" marks on the back of the unit.

I think for XTRONS the 64gb version AC controls function as they should, you'll have to read the reviews.

More questions: I like this radio but I cannot get the wifi to work well. The bluetooth seems to work fine especially the hands free talk and BT music. But the NAVI/GPS is not all there. Maps are partially displayed. I cannot get KZbin to work. Can you tell us if you got everything to work and how you did it? I also set time manually bc radio time would not link with wifi or GPS. To adjust adjust AC/Heat modes, you need to toggle the MODE button. Simply touching the various mode symbol does not work. They also said that this unit only waorks with a wired backup camera - not one with a wireless transmitter. I have sent them a bunch more questions but they are not good at responding. They seem to know how to make the system work so I do not understand why they do not make a detailed instruction manual for it. I will probably return/exchange this unit because I'm thinking it might be defective.

[@NoPointOfThis123]

You need to install a separate GPS app and set it so when you press the navi button it redirects to the app. I used the included wifi antenna and it worked for me just fine. As for the AC I always just used mode, but yes if you can't get it to work I would recommend exchanging it

@@PoLaRIV hello body, yes i did had to change my battery for a new one, a brand new one. I guess the radio is to strong and need a good battery to work with. I changed ir and it hasn’t happen anymore.

How's the sound quality. I'm thinking about buying this for my 2006 accord. I don't want to be disappointed with the sound quality.

[@NoPointOfThis123]

It's definitely better than stock, but you won't get the same quality as something like a Pioneer or Alpine unless you have an amp (it has pre-amp outputs). You can also mess around with the equalizer settings a bit too. This will wipe the floor with other head units when it comes to features, but if sound quality is your goal it could be better

[@sinclairlewis6162]

Okay cool. I can live with that. If need be, I can change the speakers. Thanks for the response.

[@DakuJTenshi]

I'm a little dumb so for the green wire what else can I ground it too cause I'm not sure how to splice and what not t

[@NoPointOfThis123]

You can ground it to any metal bolt or surface. I just used the black wire because that wire is already going to ground

[@neptunemars6275]

Did the sound work for the new radio unit? Mines did not I have an 07 Honda Accord. No sound is coming out at all.

[@NoPointOfThis123]

You might have to go into the bluetooth app and click play or it won't start playing. If the radio works but not bluetooth that's the issue, otherwise I would check the wiring or contact the manufacturer

My god this thing is ready to be put on another 300 miles

[@neojoneswd]

nice video. i watched another one which did not have as many connections-it was not Android. But i have a question about XM radio-did this unit offer SiriusXM or any XM radio feature? If so how did you deal with antenna issues? It would be nice if the gps would also handle xm signal or XM supply gps with their antennas. Anyway, did it have XM service or are the new radios not using XM? thanks

[@NoPointOfThis123]

It has the option for XM which I believe requires an antenna that XTRONS sells on their website. I don't use XM radio personally, but this one does support it. I've had no problems with GPS signal, so I imagine XM will also have no problems despite needing another antenna

[@YxngQue]

Where do I find a canbus I’ve been looking everywhere

[@NoPointOfThis123]

You might be able to ask XTRONS support and see if they can provide it separately

[@hasssansshahid]

Can someone confirm if the same unit can install in the accord (right hand side drive). I did check with few people on eBay and everyone said no. I did took out the original stereo (with dual a/c function) and mine one looks the exact same from inside as shown in this video. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@zippygibbs20]

When you ground the brake wire, does it allow the GPS to work, considering the stereo thinks the Ebrake is on? Just curious. Because Alpine Kenwood pioneer none of them allow you to use the GPS if you have the green wire to ground, there are easier ways with a toggle switch, use a speaker wire, or 2 wires, one end to the green and one to ground. So you can choose when its activated. Or a TR-7 You can find them on amazon. Hope it works great for you, I have put several in 3 of my friends Prius, electrocars. The Androids from China.

[@NoPointOfThis123]

Yes I can use it like normal when driving with the brake wire grounded. On Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, etc they put a special system to prevent this, but these Android radios aren't complicated enough to have that

[@ggtaruc2578]

Thank you for doing this video. I just ordered the Xtrons so this will be helpful. Btw, I didn't quite understand the thing about the "Brake" wire. I believe you said you cannot use the radio unless the parking brake is up? Did not make sense to me, What was this Brake wire for? How did you know this? were there instructions that came with the unit? And how did you know to connect to the black wire or to ground? There are other Xtrons install videos on Accords on KZbin and I don't remember them even talking about this Brake wire. Also, I plan to add a backup camera to the Xtrons. Looks like it will only take a wired unit and not a wireless one?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

I might have explained it wrong in the video, but the brake wire mainly is to prevent you from watching videos while driving. I think it disables some apps as well unless the handbrake is up, and many double DIN radios from Pioneer, Sony, etc also have a similar wire. The unit came with instructions explaining the wires and features, but it had no installation instructions which is why I made this video. I just took the wire and tapped it into the black ground wire on the main radio harness and it worked fine. The radio will still work without doing this but in case you wanted to install Netflix or KZbin, you would just need to run the wire to any ground source so it doesn't block the features while moving.

On the Amazon listing it says it doesn't work in the diesel versions, but sound quality was a lot better than stock. I would recommend also getting some new speakers because it makes a big difference

[@Gabson9]

What about boot time? Like you park somewhere for an hour or two and go back into the car? Does it boot for 30 seconds or is it faster?

Probably takes like 15 seconds or so from completely off. Enough time for me to pull up songs on my phone and everything so it's not bad.

[@DoneWrongType]

@NoPointOfThis123 got it installed also used wire trick... so here’s the question. I have an iPhone so how would I play KZbin videos I can only play songs on you tube but want to show music videos or watch movies on the screen, do I have to purchase a Apple CarPlay or a dongle?? I don’t have any experience with that. Any particular one you recommend or do I only need one and not the other or do I need both, I thought it would work straight from that mirror cable but it doesn’t however Bluetooth works great so I’m wireless!! Thanks bud

[@NoPointOfThis123]

You can just use a wifi hotspot and download youtube, netflix, etc on the radio. Make sure you ground the brake wire or it won't let you watch videos unless the handbrake is up. You don't need a dongle unless you want Carplay specifically, because everything else will still work fine with bluetooth/wifi
