Hi Chris, thanks for the great video. I noticed on your steering wheel on the left, you at least have the basic volume control buttons, exactly like my 2010 Honda Civic. In your video, you say “we don’t have steering wheel controls in this civic” so you’re using the basic scosche HA10B harness, BUT In your description it says “If you have steering wheel VOLUME CONTROLS get the Crux harness”. Could u confirm for me if the scoshe worked with controlling the volume of the Sony Radio via steering wheel volume? I’m just a bit confused so I want to make sure if I get the basic Scoshe, the volume button on the steering wheel will control the volume on the Sony? I will be installing the exact radio you installed so I just want to make sure I’m taking the correct products to my mechanic. Thanks In advance.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

@@uniquetress7149 We did not have the steering wheel controls, so no, the Scosche harness will not work to control the radio. You will need the crux harness.

[@uniquetress7149]

@@ProvoBeastAudio Thank you. Will order now. Sorry for the long message 😀.

[@arrr_jay]

Heyy I’m having an issue with no sound. I have no idea what it is. I have a DX so no premium sound system. I’m getting power. And I kno the speakers work. Have any ideas. What did u do with the secondary harness that was plugged into the oenology radio. Cause you have the main. Then there an additional one that I can’t figure out. And it only has 6 wires and after looking for hours and hours. It doesn’t have that light blue wire that would be the amp power on. You didn’t seem to bypass the amp here so any advice.

[@mikemoore3119]

Please state why you need the crux. I bought it form eBay it says it should work. The crux harness is 70$. It’s way too expensive

[@ShootingSportz]

Man great install vid! I mainly needed this to see how difficult it would be to take on this project myself. You have convinced me! Appreciate it!

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

If you have steering wheel volume controls you would like to retain with your civic, use the Crux SWRHN-62B harness adapter instead of the Scosche HA10B Wiring Harness Adapter. The Crux adapter is a simple plug and play unit which allows you to keep those buttons working on the steering wheel with the new radio. Cheers!

[@Mcsuply]

Nice

[@sanzacarbihno7161]

First, I must say this is a great video. It's really informative. I would like to try to install one in my civic but would like to retain the steering controls. Do you have any videos that show how to use the crux swrhn-62b wiring harness? Thanks

[@Review-This]

Just bought this kit for my 17 year old son. Now I have to install it with a subwoofer 🔊. Thanks for the helpful video

[@giannimolluso5846]

This one is perfect, Much nicer than another one I viewed.

[@hnlkaitan]

Great video! Really helpful, especially as a complete novice to pretty much everything in this video (soldering was the only issue but ofc that depends on the individual). (Originally commented about how CarPlay couldn't tell the dimmer status - that was bc the head unit had dimmer set to ON, not AUTO)

[@VanishingImage]

I originally bought my kit from Crutchfield but the dash kit I ordered had a crapy way of mounting the radio thanks to this video I just ordered that scosche dash kit! Thank you!

[@Miltomeal1]

I don't have a Honda Civic between 2006-2011, but I might go and find one just so I can try this. Simply amazing.

[@TomSestilio]

This is like one of those cookie cutter reviews you see on wish lol

[@bocobarb]

This was amazing! I did not realize there was a kit that could fit in such an old model car

[@austintrashboat]

Could’ve been longer but great video man you couldn’t have done it without you! To any first timers I recommend posi clips for the wires!

[@teri2651]

Posi clips? I replaced the radio in my 99 4Runner and now going to do this 08 Civic for my son for Xmas. I liked the plug and play of Crutchfield. don't know how to solder....yet.

[@photosynthesex]

@@teri2651you dont need to solder, just butt connectors

[@Stormmaniac]

Thus is the best video for this! I noticed you didn't have to take the driver side dash out? All other videos have shown this step but yours is by far the simplest! Thank you very much!

[@quentinpowell123]

This was a wonderful and informational tutorial. Great content, much appreciated

[@biglooney3054]

This gave me an idea in swapping out the factory radio, was thinking in buying a new car but my 2007 civic only has 68k miles she runs great, just need some tunes for the road. Tyvm for this vid❤❤❤

[@21DRANKZ]

So glad I came across your video. I don't want to spend alot of money for someone else to fix it plus I like fixing on things. I just subbed and going to check your other videos out

[@ongbiz4860]

thanks you so much for this video. It helps me alot 🥰🥰

[@sarag1158]

The stock stereo is total shit. I figured I was stuck with it. Thanks for the video. The music in the background sounds like Life of Agony.

[@DaddyRockStudio]

I watched the Crutchfield install video and thought...... why do you need to remove the entire dash? It didn't seem necessary. You proved me right, and you installed the climate control module in correctly. Also very professional soldering job, nice job !!! Crutchfield is tops but their video, while it covered the install well, was a little sloppy and amateurish.

[@agustindelgado1218]

I agree , he even disconnected the airbag

[@ronaldknight9416]

Very much appreciate the tutorial. I am trying to get my backup camera to work the back is working but front isn't responding. It says the red wire is the 12v acc, switch and I have it wired into both the radio and the car. Thanks in advance

[@kismofer1]

i need that...i have 08 and 10 civics 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JoseNavarro-lm1ce]

Friend, when connecting everything again the air conditioning no longer turned on, I already checked and connected the plug in correctly, what could it be? thanks

Video was amazing,do you if I was to replace Sony media with another 6'2 inch it would in

[@wanderlust0120]

Hey great video! Could you please tell what is the maximum diagonal of the head unit that can be installed using this? Thanks!

[@hockk]

hey ive got an ‘07 civic si, with a pioneer touch screen. i wanted to replace my climate control bulbs, as i bought them in red and the factory ones aren’t working so there’s no illumination. would this still be the same for removal? i don’t want to mess anything up with the touch screen but it’s all in one piece im assuming, so how would that work?

[@jefflarson1892]

Is there anything additional that would need to be done on a 2006 Civic with Premium Sound?

[@tomsherry8961]

Definitely the best of the few I watched. , I've wired quite a few , so that wasn't my question(s) , my stock oem radio had 2 plugs, 1 plug I can only guess is for the steering wheel controls ??? Also the L brackets you used , my face plate came with but the holes didn't match up with the cheapo head unit I have which also came with metal L brackets. I was able to drill/modify those brackets. Longest part of my install, lol. I'm gonna watch your backup camera video. Thanks ! For the guidance and reassurance

[@ihadnothingtodo]

If you do need some of the wires that you didn’t connect, where would I connect them to? Like the steering wheel control?

[@LawnCareAddict]

I have a 2008 Ex. How would i connect my steering wheel control to the harness?

[@analichavez4760]

Can you do mine? Lol. I feel I would be able to do it, but I don’t trust myself to do it right and f it up 😆 great video btw. 👍🏻

Question! When u put the new head unit did your climate control knobs spot lighting up when u turn the light on at night? Mine did I’m just wondering if there’s a way to make them work??

[@dominictrue1779]

I just got my new sjoybring stero and installed it, it comes with a backup camera and i didn’t put it in because the wire was too short. It works well when the car is parked but as soon as you put it in gear and start moving the stero cuts out and then when you stop the car and put it into park the stero comes back on. Any thoughts to what this is?

[@jordanevans3500]

Im confused what did you do with the smaller wires with no match?? Would the stereo still work if you just wired everything color to color and plugged in?

[@akafume]

Also any suggestions for a cheaper screen would help greatly my budget is 250-400

[@tylerbooks7217]

You are a god among men.

[@MrDong07]

I have civic EX 2011 coupe the wires does not look like it. mine has three of them. Do I need special wire harness for it.

[@jreeze568]

So I’m trying to install a backup cam to my 09 Honda Civic EX but I’m having Best Buy install the same exact Sony stereo in this video. They are installing a Metra radio harness to the car but on the harness itself has no reverse trigger like the brand you’re using in the video. I called Best Buy about that and they said that there’s no reverse wire for my car and I would have to find it elsewhere in the car. I also mentioned that there is a harness from a different brand that has the wire but he said that the brand doesn’t matter and that the harness they’re using is the correct one. But looking at your video sort of negates what Best Buy is saying... I’m confused.

[@lexb1892]

Sweet beats man!

[@jomaster23]

Hi man i just bought a csx 2008 and i want to know if its the same way to remove and install a new radio like you did on a civic 06-11 i know they are almost the same but before buy i want if all component are the same and used your video to change my radio...! Thk a lot love the simplicity of your video thk

[@CartsCFC]

sorry if this is a silly question, but would this be the same instructions for a uk model? right hand drive

[@honeydolistca]

Blue wire can be used for the power antenna so that it comes up only when the radio is on and down when its off. Cheers!

Thanks!

[@LoveToMurder]

It looks so cleaner than the factory mess. I just bought this car and 2 days I'm having anxiety cause of how messy it looks lol

[@liamramos1750]

Would you recommend adhesive foam to cover the gap space? Basically making it super flush with the dash.

[@kyakukid1]

Only if it is highly resistant to heat, especially if you live in a very warm environment. I've seen those things disintegrate a lot. Also, if you are thinking about changing out your aftermarket receiver unit for another one, I wouldn't recommend it.

I hooked all my wires up by color code. It has power but wont play any sound. Not even static. Not sure what I done wrong. I am also running subs. I've tried to connect through bluetooth and it will connect but not play any sound.

sweeeeet video! i do have a question though. So i have a 2008 honda civic ex with the premium sound system which has a subwoofer in the rear deck. I think that includes a factory amp.. would i hook up the wire that you left out for an amp for that factory amp?

[@osamahalabi559]

You need a special harness to bypass the amp signal

[@warrencorber3275]

Can you just ground the Peking break for the Sony XAV-AX3000? I’ve seen some people take out their entire front trim to access their parking break, is this necessary? Could you just simply ground the wire and forget about it?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

For Sony's, yes!

[@Charlie-wp8dm]

Amazing video! If I am installing an amp, and I have the blue power wire connected, do I need to then use the ground that is included in the harness? Or just worry about the blue cord?

[@TheKevintillman]

You still need a ground. The blue wire (if you’re talking about the remote wire) is ran from the head unit to the amp telling the amp when it should be on or off
