Following this vid to install this same unit into a 2013 Civic EX-L with Navi. This vehicle needs the Meta 40-HD11 antenna adapter. Sad that I discovered this when installing the wiring harness into the dash.

Awsome vid! now can you please do my civic :)

[@PrestoMoto02]

(2014 Honda CR-V with navigation) Great video! I didn’t need to solder anything I just used T Tap connectors and butt connectors for the main splices. The nav backup camera was a bit confusing but you just connect the power and ground cables to the camera plus and minus, and the RCA cable to camera plus and minus, your 7 pin connector was a little different than mine. The SWC was super easy just T Tapped the 3rd wire and everything was pre programmed. The can lines were easy also used a t tap, worked great

[@andrewpalmer2272]

It’s possible to do a full install without soldering ?

[@PrestoMoto02]

Yeah t tap connectors work great just obviously make sure the butts are crimped well

[@opens11]

Thanks for the video! Any Reccomendation for a mid-range headunit for a non nav 13' civic? Intending to put aftermarket mids and subs in the car afterwards, one upgrade at a time. Would these wiring harness work with your recommendation

[@TJsVette]

Would be nice if you would have linked the parking brake bypass video to watch. I had to go back and search for it lol.

[@imnottoad1602]

I followed all the instructions in the video and the touch screen powers on and responds perfectly. Only issue is that the heads up display says “audio off” the “power” button in the Boss aftermarket stereo does not change it. Putting the stock radio back in and it can be powered on with the power button. I’ve checked continuity and all the soldered wires are connected. Any ideas for troubleshooting this?

[@guiguishark]

Good video. Thx ! But for 2015 EU with navigation, not same cables

[@torresjulio747]

great vid my car is an LX with rear cam on the dash do I need to jump the wires like you did if it had navigation????

[@lionintu]

For the sony ax7000 I have EX-L non Nav Purple white on goes to the the hd11 green nav output green (tells the sony to turn on rear camera when car is in reverse) Also on the sony ax7000 youll need to power (yellow wire) directly to the battery due to the higher demand from the receiver due to the built in Amp. Also you can ground the receiver (black wire) directly to the vehicle Hd11 purple white on hd11 goes to speed sensor. Dont use it. thanks so much for explaining how to connect the factory rear camera. because i dont wanna change it.

[@Bobbyyuux]

Will following this tutorial in my 2013 SI work as well? My biggest concern is retaining my steering wheel controls and backup camera in the small oem display

[@SheikhNBake]

which 7 pin harness did you use for the back up camera?

[@cooltech73]

Question, with the phone options on the OEM radio, are you able to control that still with he aftermarket radio?

Just have a question, I have a 2015 Honda Civic ex-l coupe. My car has a blind spot camera and I’m just curious if I can get a new head unit and the side camera still work?? I don’t have CarPlay that’s the only reason I’m trying to upgrade. Thank you!

[@juliom429]

How did you solve the issue with the USB inside the console which will not work after installing a new stereo??

[@chriswells2730]

Question does that harness also keep full function of the screen on the dash beside the Speedo

[@CGNobles]

Don't know if you are still monitoring this but thought I would ask. Have a 2013 Civic EXL. I used an Axxess Harness and SWC. Bluetooth buttons aren't working but I'm not too concerned... I'm using Android Auto and rarely use those buttons anyways. The one thing that is frustrating is the imid screen is showing "Audio Off" on the gas mileage screen. Did you see this as well by chance?

[@rickyvan1216]

I have a radio with a rear camera input, is there any way I can avoid cutting or jumping and just use the input my radio has already?

Does anything differ for the 2013 Civic Si Sedan?

[@mattscott7871]

I think you've made a mistake on the dash kit. The Metra part number is only for 2013-up Civics. For 2012 Civics pre-facelift without Nav, you'd want Scosche Ha1713B, no?

[@Eckspand]

Does the 2013 si coupe and sedan use the same navigation deck? Although they look the same,, eBay is stating that the dash kit you used in your video won't fit on my car. I just want to make sure I'm getting the correct one before installing an aftermarket stereo.

[@Pokka676]

They’re the same. Get the scoshe Ha1718b dash kit. That’s what you need.

[@maniac1628]

It’s the same I put the factory touchscreen radio that came in the 2014-15 exs exls and si models in my 2013 si coupe fits right in everything works except the phone buttons on steering wheel because the connector on the on the stock non touchscreen radio is different then the touchscreen however I found the connector I need so I can swap the wires to the correct connector I can live without them for a little lol

[@hamzasyed494]

How do you adjust the imid clock after this (or maybe just hide it) From what I understand imid gets the clock info from the head unit in factory nav models

[@de_arius_]

i believe you can change the clock with the knob where the rpms show

[@andypadilla7940]

I'm going to be performing an upgrade to girlfriend's 2015 civic LX. She has a back up camera that goes to the IMID. Upon installing a new radio would the backup camera stay on the IMID or would it be on the new radio (factory harness that goes to the radio)? If it is on the IMID, what steps would need to be taken to have the factory backup camera display on new radio? Also, would i lose the factory subwoofer? Very informative video!

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

The factory sub should still be retained using the PAC harness used in the video. The reverse camera will continue to be displayed on the IMID screen above the radio when replacing the radio. If you want to bring it down to the factory radio, just pull a pinout of the IMID harness and use an RCA Male end to tap into the single from the backup camera (similarly we did in this video)

[@mausaxo]

@@ProvoBeastAudio Is there access to the backup camera cables somewhere around the steering wheel or behind the stereo? Like the ones you pulled out for the bluetooth calling functionality, so that I don't have to strip all the dash to get to the IMID harness.

Not sure if this year has it, but my 2015 Civic has a lane camera when I turn on my right turning signal. Would we be able to save that or would I lose that feature?
