Honda Civic Multimedia Player Stereo Navigation system installation by Idoing

[@FrogC0ree]

I wish I would of found your channel earlier in the process of me installing this. I watched so many videos and no one fully showed anything or mentioned the clips once. Thank you for taking the time to show everything that’s needed this helped me immensely. Thank you, I love you little old man💖

[@theforogoten1]

This is the most loved 8th gen civic I've ever seen

[@sohrabnoor619]

Thanks Danny. I have a Honda Civic 2008( my first car). I am learning so many things about the car and how to maintain it properly from your videos. Keep making more videos.

[@dannysdiygarage]

I appreciate you watching my videos, many more to come, thanks for commenting

[@mannyramirez5312]

You skipped the main thing I needed help with, connecting everything 😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Fox9582]

Looks like you’re blind

[@jpop2499]

Thanks for showing how to do this, how to remove the dash and the controls. This is a huge help!

[@nyamekenyanzu-young1782]

This video was very helpful. I just ordered one for my 2007 Civic.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Appreciate you adding this, great update

[@angelfinol971]

Clean and perfect installation. Perfect tutorial... Thanks.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Appreciate that, thanks

[@boosted6ers]

For the airbag sensor you can just mount and screw to the hazard switch. No need to have that dangling

[@dannysdiygarage]

Thanks for the tip👍🏼

[@Chadlad27]

Nice job! Do you think you might eventually install one in the Element?

[@dannysdiygarage]

Yes, I’m trying to find out if Idoing makes one for the Element as well

[@dannysdiygarage]

I’m in the process of installing this unit in my Honda Element, video will be coming out soon

[@2s894]

You had guide so properly, like from Pakistan

[@dannysdiygarage]

Thanks so much

[@BillCoSmith]

Thanks Danny, Hope they have one for the Element.

[@dannysdiygarage]

That video will be coming soon, I ordered it👍🏼

[@CBatt191]

Great video. Is it necessary to install the GPS and 4G antennas if you plug your phone to this unit? It looks like a SIM card can be added so this can be used without a phone then the antennas are needed correct? Thank you.

[@dannysdiygarage]

4 g antenna is optional, in my Honda Element video installation I left it out, I did use the gps antenna though

[@CBatt191]

One more question. Can a back up camera be added to this system? Thanks again.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Yes in my Honda Element I added the camera, here is the video, I plan on doing this to the Civic, just haven’t gotten to it yet kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWaUoH6mntKKgacsi=TEBtHnfRakNMzSmq

[@CBatt191]

Do you need to have your phone plugged into usb for CarPlay to work or can you connect wirelessly? Thanks Danny.

[@dannysdiygarage]

Yes it will work wirelessly or plugged in, either way

[@boysrus]

Beautifully done. I checked out the Idoing site, I notice they specify Premium. I have a 2006 Civic Hybrid and want to replace the Navigation unit frozen on the "open" screen (the screen is not open). I *think* it has premium sound (6 speakers) but am not certain.

[@sapounngin2237]

Look the head unit you have near CD slot. It should say premium if it is.

[@dannysdiygarage]

I can’t answer that question

[@LoudGuitar14]

'Premium' audio system have a powered amp and sub in the rear deck. Your radio will also state Premium above the CD slot as previously stated. If you do not have those you do not have Premium audio. I also would strongly advise against doing any radio swap on a Premium audio system unless you are planning on completely rewiring and removing the original amp. There are some harnesses out there to remove the amp. 8th gen cars with swapped radios still using the oem amp are known to have issues with static and volume gain. Also, the sub and tweeters will also no longer function. It is unfortunate that there is not a known good fix for these issues. While Idoing lists the Premium option as working I am beyond suspicious that it will still have the same known issues with swaps in Premium audio system. (Static, lose of function in tweeters and sub, volume gain)

[@sewmanypleasures5195]

If you have premium you would have tweeters in your dash corners by the windsheild as well as the other items another poster mentioned. I have a Radio like this same design not sure if the same manufacter i have a octacore 6g +128g. I also have premium sound. I had a factory nav unit. The radio just makes life easier with phone upgrades I couldnt use the aux anymore USBC to AUX jack only played one speaker. This radio fixed that. You will have a bunch of unused cables though because we are going from a NAV unit thats has CD and DVD to just a headunit. everything works though and my stereo sounds so good. I came upon this because I am trying to figure out how to get into its launcher to change a widget on the homescreen launcher

[@dainbramage8608]

Hi there , thank you for making this video. I’m going to buy one for my civic . Do you still like it ? Any problems ?

[@balazs.zoltan]

After installing a similar unit half of my AC panel backlight went black. I did observe it only after a while when driving at night. Do you had to ever replace light bulbs on the AC panel?

[@dannysdiygarage]

I have a video coming out this week on the AC control head lights, make sure you’re subscribed so you can get notified

[@YsyodTV]

I want this kit for my car but seems almost impossible to catch up right now due to inflation so this one’s going to have to wait awhile😢

Jose, understand that, I’m in the same situation, I’m having a hard time keeping up

[@johnsitar7871]

Do you need to buy extra connections for the steering wheel controls?

For the color when you purchase it which one did you get? I’m having bit trouble finding my exact one for my Honda

[@dannysdiygarage]

I took a picture and sent it to the company

[@mastermandarin]

This is cool, but what happened to the CD player?

[@dannysdiygarage]

CD player, I haven't used that in 5 years, yep no more CD player.

[@anilkinikar]

Hey Danny that was a detailed video. Thanks. Do we need airbag light to be visible? You have hidden it inside. What if it glows to show some warning how will you know? Or is there a CAN bus adapter required for Civic?

[@dannysdiygarage]

I would loved to have the light visible, however it wasn’t an option

[@sebastiendesamours8841]

Did you receive the bezel in the same package as the head unit? i received mine the other day but the bezel didn't come with it even though the DHL shipping tracker says delivered.

[@dannysdiygarage]

No I received them at different times

[@cvvvv111]

Great video, one question, I know this is the 4 door civic and I think the 2 doors has a different stereo which need to take "power " from one line, do you know by any chance which line is that?

[@dannysdiygarage]

Sorry, I do not have that answer

Hi Danny. Would you know the kind of bulb for the AC knob for the honda civic fd?

[@dannysdiygarage]

I ended up purchasing them from the dealership, they were not cheap, I bought a few on Amazon but were way to tight and I didn’t feel comfortable using them

[@juanManuel-nd6tf]

Danny, Great videos, Thank you

[@janessah8684]

Did you have to drill a hole into the lower panel for the USB wires to come out of? I'm wondering how you did it so the work doesn't look cheap. I've been looking this up to see if they have an updated panel with the a slot for the passenger airbag and I think yes, but another option maybe to put it lower near the USB wires in that little panel? I'm not sure but thinking about different options. Thanks in advance!

[@dannysdiygarage]

Yes, I drilled a hole in the panel cover at the bottom, works out great there

[@sugmab411z]

Hi! I’m planning on installing a similar headunit to my gf’s 2010 civic. I was wondering if I need to disconnect the battery before I start taking the trim pieces off. If so, how do I do it?

[@dannysdiygarage]

Not a big deal leaving it connected, disconnecting it is a safety feature, you should be fine leaving it connected

[@CBatt191]

How did you get the 2 bolts out under the radio. They are a nightmare! Thanks

[@dannysdiygarage]

Mirror and 1/4 “ 7mm socket if I remember correctly

Hi. Can you give us an updated for Idoing head unit. I want to install on my car also. Thank you for video.

[@dannysdiygarage]

If you’re installing it on a Honda Civic it’s great, it looks and fits like factory, no cutting wires or panels, my wife drives this car most of the time and she love it, she can answer calls, see text and see navigation, we use iPhone, I’m currently in the process of installing one in my Honda Element, this is a much harder process, due to they don’t make a plug and play unit for the Element. For the Civic we are very happy

[@dannysdiygarage]

I’m not sure how this compares with other units out there, but this one works flawlessly, let me know if you purchase one, I don’t get any commission or compensation of any kind, so this is my actual review

Personally the unit looks to big for a civic. I would not have put in anything larger than an 8" unit. The player look like an unbranded atoto stereo and not worth the 500 you shelled out. But I am a cheap pollock
