Bluetooth Kit for Honda Civic 2006-2011 by GTA Car Kits

[@jptrainor]

I put one in a Civic 2006 recently. It is very easy. No surprises. Get some plastic trim removal tools to make the job easier. The car's dash panels are very resilient. You can pop them on and off many times without causing problems - in case that is a worry. I had mine on and off a few times. I used velcro tape to fasten my GTA unit directly under the stock radio. There is ample space for the device and the wiring in that position. BTW the first unit I installed hiccuped when streaming audio via bluetooth. GTA were very quick and professional in the exchange process. The second unit worked exactly as expected - no bluetooth streaming hiccups.

[@tichu7]

I'm about to get a unit for my 2006 Civic. There's no nav, so I'll be getting it with "Standard stereo". Do the track names appear on the display?

[@tichu7]

To answer my own question - no track names. Also, anyone know anyway to trigger a 'pause'? Next track and prev track work fine...just can't find the pause.

[@jorgeguaman6904]

[@tichu7]

@@jorgeguaman6904 nope. I just power the whole unit off to pause (or switch to radio)

[@davidcarter734]

Thank you for mentioning the screws under the radio. Several other videos didn't mention this and I broke the dash trying to pry it out.

[@TRD_JAY]

Yes. I was pulling as hard as I could and was wondering why the other videos were so easy to pull out.

I think I just WATCHED this just in time before I fucked up my Honda

[@vladarino]

The tip at 3:10 to use a 3mm extension wrench saved me because I did strip the nut with the Phillips head screw driver. This unit worked great for me on my Hondas. Thanks for helping me modernize my cars audio and tech capabilities!

[@BartoszRybacki0]

the big question is... is Honda using a Philips, a Pozidriv or a Japanese JIS type of screw. Using wrong screwdriver will strip the head. A guy in the video is holding a Pozidriv screwdriver.

[@wildfire2k5]

Even though I could have gotten something similar off amazon I decided to go against that because of how informative this video was. I also wanted to support a small business so I took the shot and was not disappointed. I just completed this install on 9/2/21. The install went exactly as the video said except for the two screws when you take off the panel beneath the stereo were very difficult. I found that a screw driver that was about 4 or 5 inches long did the trick. Also, I have aux in my car already. This did not mess with it except for my car needs to be on CD1 to work. I was going to leave this aux out but since my aux is not working I decided to keep it. Thank you for the very informative and direct video. If it were not for those two screws I would have had this done in about an hour but it took me almost two just because of those screws. I even have one of those extenders that bend and that was not helpful. The small screwdriver is where its at.

[@shmrkbutrfly]

Thank you so much! I'm about to put this in my first car and your video was super helpful!!

[@mabeast502]

just installed it, take your time telling the clips the screws were such a pain in my @$$ (really my neck) it was worth it, I love my car more. wireless charging next!

[@ydoyl3]

March 2023 Great video and information. Very detailed explanation on “how to”.

[@4EL95]

Just get the factory aux input and a mini bluetooth receiver and plug it directly in using a 1/8 mini male to make adapter. That’s what I did and it works great. Take nothing apart.

[@doctordilanka]

But, don't you have to keep recharging your Bluetooth receiver?

[@4EL95]

@@doctordilanka Yes. But I put a socket charger adapter into the cigarette lighter and keep it hooked up to the Bluetooth’s charging port. If I use the car the dongle will charge. So - usually the dongle BT is charged up. Fully charged the BT adapter will go all day on its own.

[@doctordilanka]

@@4EL95 Ah interesting. Not bad. My 2 front speakers are blown out on my Honda and I ordered 2 x new speakers + harnesses + pry tools and a $60 variant of this kit from Amazon for a total of ~$150 and I will be installing it this weekend. Car audio guys quoted $250 to install JUST the front 2 speakers (Alpine) - and honestly, given this is an old car, I'm gonna do the install partly to get my hands dirty and stimulate my DIY muscles 😇

[@4EL95]

@@doctordilanka Good man. I always go the DYI route myself. You end up appreciating it more. Good luck!

[@doctordilanka]

@@4EL95 Update: Installed both speakers and a $60 Bluetooth receiver directly into the back of the head unit. Very easy, worth it, and highly recommended! 🔥

[@Nessamor]

Is there a back button function? What if I hit "next" on a song and then want to go back to the song that was skipped? Does the back button even work for anything? Is it JUST the "next" button that functions for selection when doing this installation?

[@gtacarkits]

Hi, Back button will work to skip back. One time press will take it to the beginning of the current song, one more back press will take it to previous song. Thank you.

[@edgarantonio5728]

Woooaaa looks complicated you make it so easy to do bro 😎

[@GrantLackey]

Do you have a video demonstrating how the bluetooth setup works on the nav kit? Same car, 2006+ civic si

[@Poeticbladezero]

I know this is old but were you able to find the answer? Gonna try this for my 2008 civic SI...

[@GrantLackey]

@@Poeticbladezero Nah I just stuck with using the AUX input until i traded the car in. I've had luck with a JL audio MBT-RX marine Bluetooth adapter in other cars though. You could pop the aux plug out, tuck it back up inside the dash, connect the Bluetooth adapter to an accessory wire, and then use an RCA TO AUX adapter. This would probably be a good bit cheaper than this kit. Dont wire the adapter to be powered 24/7 though, they start to malfunction after a few months if you do.

[@ariellubonja7856]

If you still care, in Navi cars, you have to plug this into the CD slot, which is the second from the right on the lowest row of the unit. You can’t miss it, the harness won’t fit in the other slots

You will be able to change tracks/adjust volume and answer phone calls via steering wheel controls if using Bluetooth. If you are going to be using the AUX cable, next track and phone calls will have to be controlled from the Smartphone, volume will still be adjusted by steering wheel controls. Thank you.

Why for $89 would you get this instead of just an aftermarket radio?! An aftermarket radio would have more features and sound better!

[@scoutwes]

What aftermarket radio can you get for this price?? I've been shopping around and they are $200-300 starting.

[@JoshuasRecordings]

You can get plenty for $89 for example this one: goo.gl/nAeeyr . It is a nice Pioneer unit with built in Bluetooth and USB playback, it has a price tag of $79. This one here is also a Pioneer for $72: goo.gl/36y7QN . Here is a Kenwood: goo.gl/IQjMoe . Here is a Sony: goo.gl/HtLa4b The list for inexpensive car stereos goes on. These are just my favorites for the price.

[@MN12Guns]

Yeah, and what about the mounting hardware to put in an aftermarket radio while moving over/keeping the HVAC controls and the vent on the left of the radio? That's an extra $40 right there. Now what about steering wheel controls will you loose those when you change out the factory deck for those aftermarket ones you mentioned? Yep, you will! Unless you buy a special kit to adapt the steering wheel controls into the aftermarket deck. That's another $60 (So, $40 for the dash mounting kit plus $60 for the steering wheel control kit, and there's $100 on top of an $80 deck just to install it properly) and all together a lot more work to install compared to this. Aftermarket decks do sound better usually, they also give you preouts for running aftermarket amps etc but again that's more work if you're going that route anyway that might be fine but if not it might be best to keep it simple and keep the factory radio. You sometimes loose other random features too when you change out the stock radio. Things like factory alarms are often tied into modern factory head units on some cars today. Bypassing this requires even more special kits and wiring work often tying into expensive aftermarket control boxes mounted in the trunk. Installing aftermarket head units in modern cars is quickly becoming irrelevant. It's already basically a dead market compared to how huge it was in the late 90s and early 2000s because of this. I'm surprised companies like Pioneer, JVC and Sony still bother making single DIN aftermarket head units. They won't be in another 10 years.

[@JoshuasRecordings]

If you buy from Crutchfield mounting hardware is free! If not, I paid $30 for the dash kit and $5 for the wiring harness. The only car that comes with steering wheel controls is the EX, I personally own the LX so I couldn't care less about the steering wheel controls.

[@MN12Guns]

Joshua's Recordings I have a 2010 EX-L so yeah, also last time I bought a deck and installed it was for a 1998 Ford escort ZX2 similar where the HVAC dials and defrost button are in the radio face. The place I bought the deck from gives the dash mounting hardware free with the deck only up to $20 so it covers the basic ones but it didn't cover mine. I also buy the wiring kit because I don't like to cut off factory harnesses so it's easy to back to stock. I even buy the speaker harness kits when I can. glad to hear crutchfield is still around I bought stuff from them way back in the early 2000s when I was really into car audio my car at the time had Alpine HU, dual Phoenix Gold amps (back when they were higher end made in USA, before they got sold to a Chinese parent company) one for the infinity speakers all round, the other for the subs. I of course loved the sound quality and high volume levels but now that I'm older, and factory car audio has gotten better I've gotten completely out of it. I also do not want to worry about my cars getting broken into. leaving nothing in my cars to steal means I don't have to worry no one has any reason to break into my car! still I sometimes miss the good old days when I did car audio installs for me and my friends.
