Honda Civic Si Idoing Radio/Headunit Install!! (06-11 8th Gen)

I'm so pumped we finally found the perfect headunit for the civic!
All of the other headunits I have tried are a pain to install & there is always that annoying static noise & offset volume.
This Idoing kit is the first complete plug & play kit I have found for these cars!
My favourite part of having this headunit is by far the wireless apple car play/android auto. Its super fast & works perfectly.

Is the radio volume offset quieter also or is it only for Bluetooth/carplay audio dimmer? I want the AM/FM radio quiet at 1 volume too. Please let me know 🙏 great job in the video btw!

[@derekm6717]

Just got the kit from Idoing. There were quite a few issues. Firstly, the airvent would not fit flush on the Idoing bezel. I had to cut off about half an inch of plastic from one of the posts for a screw to get the fitment acceptable. Secondly, as you pointed out in the video, the jack for the radio that is on the harness does not actually fit into the back of the radio. Thankfully, the kit includes a second jack for the radio (not attached to the harness) that actually fits in the hole and makes contact. Instead of soldering the blue power wire, i depinned the connector and swapped to the alternative jack provided with the kit. Finally, after all that, I still get a large amount of static anytime the radio is powered on. The volume adjustment is fine and seems to be accurate, but the constant static anytime the radio is plugged in got old real fast. Based on the research i've done, the issue is really only fixable if you ignore the black filter box and go straight to a aftermarket amp. The head unit itself is good quality. Idoing support was very responsive to my emails so that was great to see. Long story short, good unit but has a few small issues and still requires an aftermarket amp to get rid of the static.

[@raza4989]

Bro I just did the exact same thing you did but for me everything works with stock amp and no static noise

[@TakeThis_L]

Does it boost the sound in the car? can you hook up aftermarket speakers and receive the correct amount of power? If not I wonder how you’d get an aftermarket amp hooked up

[@raza4989]

@@TakeThis_L there will be wires extra wires for amps and sub unsolder yet to the wire harness plus it's labeled too. Also if you need if idoing has good customer service

[@Si__Jay]

Just ordered this using your link

[@Si__Jay]

Just installed it and they didn’t fix the antenna wire, and fitment is horrendous, huge gaps and screen doesn’t fit flush. I’m very disappointed

[@codyallen9188]

I got mine off crutchfield and it bypassed the factory amp can be a pain but it's not to bad I'm eventually going to get something like that for mine so I can see hondata on screen.

[@smnkm4ehfer]

You should always want to get rid of using the factory amp whenever possible if you're trying to upgrade your sound. All of the factory amp crossover points and cutoffs are designed to work with the factory head unit and speakers. With this setup, if you upgrade your speakers, they won't really sound any better than stock, and upgrading your headunit again won't sound any better. Aftermarket HU should automatically = Aftermarket amp and speakers unless you're only after the screen and functionality and don't care about the sound. This is great however for the latter.

[@Gueromessi10]

Did you still have static noise after you wired speaker wires to RCAs? Got everything wired up now and just seeing this now

[@VigenDuran]

So does it or does it not work with the factory amp and sub?

[@DPMAce]

Awesome!!

[@kreaves3806]

Does the wiring that u showed only apply to the si or same for other models?

[@accordxtc319]

Question, on the Accord with the Premium audio system would the same thing apply with no static? or did they just resolve this on the Civic, I had a Navifly unit and it looked identical to this IDOING unit. The static noise was aweful and the steering wheel control didnt even work till I hooked up a seperate wire they made me connect when I had it

[@avmiller0813]

I know this might be a shot in the dark, but I was looking at purchasing an I doing kit, and was wondering how the audio quality compared to a top of the line mainstream head unit.

[@financier7634]

Hi! Did your 2 screws under the radio go back in with the aftermarket head unit? I just installed mine and there’s no way it would work there. Without them it seems a bit shaky to me.

[@oscarreal9163]

The two bolts you had to remove at the beginning did you scre them back in?

[@brckh]

Hey Daniel, I'm talking to iDoing about this now but they obviously have an incentive to sell me their head unit. From your greater technical expertise (and experience installing many of these), do you believe that the proprietary wiring harness they have for the amp (built into the steering wheel controls as you mentioned) would fit other head units? You said you installed a lot so I'm curious if we could just use their wiring harness with other similar Chinese head units.

[@freewilly5073]

I would say it 100% depends if each company is using the same base headunits. If not then they may have different electrical outputs that lead to different wiring diagrams for their harnesses. I personally just went with a decent brand off of Amazon (Dasaita) and messaged them till I got sent the right harness. I'll have to look into getting steering wheel controls since I had factory navi too.

[@Pinoyswagg41]

Do you know if Idoing sells the converter harness youre talking about? Tia.

[@jesuscastro2805]

My wires for the connection that I did like yours for the speaker say L output L input R output R input how do I know what’s front and what’s back

[@jeisonrodas9890]

I have a navigation system Will that work with my car ? I notice that the connector that has the amp on wire is different for mine

[@tiocruz1836]

Where did u get this exact model from when I hit ur link it looks like a fake website and I was watching other videos of these install and they don’t have the amp converter that stops the static noise

[@yerika3515]

i have a 08 honda coupe, the radio works perfectly fine but for some reason the bluetooth portion of it has no sound. would you know why this might happen?

[@APOPHISnft]

Hope y’all blow up! Thank you for this video bro! 🔥🫶🏼

[@walterketchum5180]

I have a premium audio system on the stock car but ordered the idling head unit that’s was for the non premium sound system and I’m trying to figure out if I have to return it or if it will work in my 09 Si

[@Tylerhassmellyfeet]

So it recently installed something Similar it works great but my aux doesn’t seem to work anymore. Any tips or fix?

[@adoptarex2939]

I’m trying to figure out how to order this on the link you posted. Have a 2008 Honda Civic Hyrbid with the blue seat and dash interior. Is there a dash kit in that blue color?

[@willschafrick3994]

Mines an ‘09 Civic Si. Can you tell me the part number for the Idoing kit? The link on your page doesn’t work.

[@NightFlight1973]

The "static" you're describing is because head units normally send speaker level out. The factory amp expects line level, not speaker level on the amp input. Its like plugging an amp into an amp. The result is over-driving the input on the factory amp which sounds loud and distorted. The RCA connectors are all line level, the same that has been used for the last 70 years in home stereos. I've no experience with this head unit, just speaking from general experience.

[@kyuurisu]

Do you know how to get the factory Honda subwoofer working with this head unit? Any help or information is appreciated! I just installed mine but am getting no factory subwoofer activity.

[@jlondono363]

Might pick one up for myself! Not sure how I feel about the huge tablet though..wonder if they have the same version but smaller. And would it work with any backup camera?

[@Fxdes__]

As long as your camera does not have all kinds of wires you could splice right into it

[@santi00_]

hey i’ve been using it for a while now and it had worked great with no issues but all of a sudden there was no sound. Like completely no sound at all. The radio and everything the screen works fine but there is no sound. I tried resetting everything and unplugging the whole unit and putting it back in but still no luck. Does anyone know what can be the issue ?

[@lukehaar9380]

i installed a head unit in my 09 si and no matter what the volume is extremely low. what do i do. there’s one white plug in the factory harness that the aftermarket one didn’t come with. is that my issue or what do i do.

[@boblast5582]

does this have full google playstore support? Is this basically an Android tablet? I wanna buy this to use with RaceChrono as a laptimer. That means bluetooth gps (10Hz) and OBD2, and GoPro via wifi. Do you think this can do that?

[@DellanoThomas]

Can u tell me where to buy that harness wire kit cause I got the same radio please and thanks??

[@sapounngin2237]

Hi Daniel. I need help. I just bought a Idoing head unit for my Civic but I’m not sure they give the right one or not. Mine is Premium Audio System just like your. By watching your video your have a long deck in back mine is the short one. How do I know is the right one. There is no # I can tell. It hard to communicate with seller. Thanks.

[@Mightyhero777]

Late reply, but it’d really just have to be because something wasn’t connected or something wasn’t connected properly. Hopefully you’ve pulled it out and found a solution by now 🤞

[@veegeez8078]

can i use apple music or a aux still ?

[@cavy7377]

I have the same 09 civic si and had a kenwood double din installed so it was not a plug in play. My question did u just soldier all the cut wires back to stock harness?

[@DanielKellert]

If you installed a kenwood headunit with a plug & play harness, you should be able to disconnect that harness from the factory connector & plug the idoing harness into the factory connector. Only way it won’t be plug & play is if whoever installed the kenwood unit cut the factory harness to install it.

[@loganevans9028]

Did yours come with the trim piece that it's attached to? I ordered one from your link and it didn't come with the trim piece.

[@matthewhessin1368]

Update?

[@gabriel26208]

do they sell just the harness connetion

[@jeannylam09]

I was wondering if you could help me out. Unit is installed. When turning the key to position 1 (accessory) there is slight static. But once I put it to position 2 (on) or when the car is running there is alot of static which is not very tolerable. Even when hitting the horn I get some feedback. Disconnected all RCA cables and issue still remains. If you could assist me that would be great! Thank you.

I will say I love the idea of adding something like this to my FA5 but after looking at the website that you've provided, I am a but confused.

Could you specify which one of the 5 options you picked and if us as consumers need to reach out to them in regards to the amplifier relay thingy on the harness (black box). Or do you just pick the option and everything gets sent automatically. Thank you!
