How to install a stereo and speakers in a 2006-2011 Honda Civic | Crutchfield

[@poshombre458]

I didnt even know that it was possilble to install different radio system into those honda´s panels, the way you work is neat and clean, that´s nice!

[@CleeveGilfoyle]

Neat and clean! Have you seen the gap above the heater controls?! Dodgey job form a podgey nob.

[@svrsxlt]

Yeah you just have to buy another dash assembly for cheap. Honda focuses too much on looks imo

The background music gave me the courage to try it myself, Thank you for your very easygoing video .

[@donsknots6510]

Lol

[@jondoe2099]

I know, I wish I had this music playing throughout trigonometry class.. Yes, i know, i didnt take trigonometry, but it seemed so fitting to say.

[@codybeavers691]

The background music gave me the courage to ask my gf to try anal. And guess what you guys? She still said no but that didn't stop me from trying later that night 😅

[@R4B135]

I just got a civic 2009 from my mother and it requires a bit of work. There's fixing the arm rest clip, changing the speakers, fixing the hail damage, etc. All overwhelming at first, and i've wanted to customize it to my liking. This video has given some newfound confidence and alleviated any concerns i've had. Didn't even know that putting in a touch screen audio unit was possible so mad props to ya crutchfield for this great video.

[@crutchfield]

Not all versions of the Honda Civic come factory equipped with separate tweeters. The ones that do (in this year range) have grills that pry off at the front edge (near the "A" pillars).This is covered in greater detail in our MasterSheet instructions for the vehicle: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc180/p_264MASTER/Crutchfield-Car-Audio-Installation-Instructions.html?search=264master&skipvs=T We'll provide the MasterSheet instructions and our Lifetime tech Support, free of charge, with any purchase for your Civic.Hope that helps!--Crutchfield

[@dvnklxrd]

+Crutchfield huge thanks ! My gf has a -06 FD2 that has the tweeters so thats why I'm asking. Going to improve the front speakers in near future. Maybe the rear ones too. And adding a subwoofer in the trunk. It currently has a aftermarket active subwoofer under the passenger seat. Let's see how well it will sound after some upgrades. Nevertheless, huge thank you for quick answering !

[@Fifthcell]

The blue radio antenna adapter wire should actually be tapped into the red wire coming from the vehicle. The antenna needs to be powered by a switched 12V wire, which is the red.

[@kman915]

I was hoping for a component speaker installation for the install of the tweeters. Got any vids on how to install tweeters into the 8th gen honda civic?

I'm afraid we don't have any videos available specific to that installation in your Civic--however we have a component speaker "install guide" you can view from the Crutchfield website: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/learn/learningcenter/car/component_speakers_installation_guide.html?search=speaker_installation Feel free to contact an Advisor if you have any further questions or concerns.

[@hermanos1ai]

Question regarding the two screws that get removed at 2:03. I just installed using a Scosche HA1561G Dash Kit and it's nearly impossible to put those screws back into it. Is that dash kit somehow supposed to reaccept those screws? I am having my doubts because the plastic doesn't have enough rigidity, compared to the OEM metal frame, to hold in place for the screws to line up.

[@crutchfield]

Looks like you'll want to match up the kit/screws to the new radio as shown on page two of the kit manual here: pdf.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageBank/v20061012103600/Manuals/142/142HA1561G.PDF

[@hermanos1ai]

@@crutchfield I went to the hardware store and bought a set of self tapping screws with a head wide enough to hold onto the metal in the car. I also used a drill to widen the plastic frames holes so it wouldn't crack

[@northcutt4326]

When you connect the wire to the break wire, are you connecting that for the back up camera? I'm confused by that connection.

[@crutchfield]

The parking brake wire must be attached in order to display video content with any touch screen/video screen receiver installation. Due to legal and safety reasons, you cannot view video unless your vehicle's parking brake is engaged. If you attempt to view video without the parking brake engaged, the unit's LCD touchscreen will simply display "Parking Off". Hope that helps! --Crutchfield

[@katietabor6920]

Does this stereo include Navigation?? This would be extremely helpful!

[@crutchfield]

Actually, yes! The radio being installed in this video does have navigation. We have a good selection of them for you to choose from on our site: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/g_182350/In-dash-GPS-Navigation.html?tp=20212 --Crutchfield

[@chasehoffman6133]

So I got some 300w speakers n idk if I have to get an amplifier, change my radio, or do both for em to sound good.

[@crutchfield]

What is the exact brand and model of your speakers? 300-watts is a large amount of power, and we can match an amp to the RMS wattage specifications on your speakers perfectly. For the absolute best possible performance from any speaker, an aftermarket amp is a great call.

[@JMD0113]

I must be missing something or got screwed some how! I went to install aftermarket tweeters in my 2011 Honda civic LX sedan and when i popped off the plastic dash corner speaker grill to my surprise there was no tweeter installed and no wiring or harness. just an empty whole! So i couldn't install my tweeters cause i had nothing to work with. =( Is this normal for my car?

[@crutchfield]

Unfortunately, that's fairly common, because not all of the Civic models included the factory dash tweeters.

And for those who connected your new radio and have no sound the baby blue wire on that 4th harness is your answer. Connect that to the blue wire and your should get sound.

At 7:40 you only connected the wiring harness and antenna harness. Where are the second and third go? Do you know what are those cable for?

Receivers require a connection to the parking brake as a safety features. Certain advanced menus, functions, and video playback will not work unless the Parking brake is engaged. This is necessary, and is a legally mandated, important safety feature.

[@miikejoness5351]

my music plays good but as soon as I throw the car in drive and accelerate the music cuts off is it because I don't have that parking break wire connected to the wiring harness on the double din ?

[@crutchfield]

I doubt that your issue is linked to the parking brake wire. That wire only affects video and the ability to see it. That being said, I don't know what would cause your issue. If you purchased the gear from Crutchfield, I recommend calling our technical support for help. If the gear was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help, you might try contacting the manufacturer for help

[@chillingmeko]

Do you need to disable the anti-theft radio feature of the honda civic? and Does the pry tool come with the installation kit from the Crutchfield website?

[@crutchfield]

I've looked through our information on these cars but didn't see any mention of special steps to disable that; not even in our installation instructions. I don't expect that to be necessary. The pry tools are not part of the vehicle specific install gear we list of this vehicle. If you don't have any pry tools, then I highly recommend getting them and our web site is programmed to recommend them for customers who don't already have them. HTH! --Crutchfield

[@chillingmeko]

Do I just search for pry tools in the search box on the website? Thanks so much for the quick response.

[@Reliable1102Intel]

Curious why you used the brake lead instead of a fuse tap at the panel?

[@crutchfield]

We connect to the parking brake wire because that's the proper way to install it so that all safety precautions are observed and that there are no legal issues regardless of state you are driving in

[@Reliable1102Intel]

Crutchfield Thats a rather broad opinionated explanation. Ive used countless technical manuals both in the automotive and aviation industries. Power for any third party device should always be supplied from a fuseable source.

[@Gionix]

Why you didnt make video on how to replace the rear speakers!

[@crutchfield]

+Gino Veras Rodriguez There are big differences in the process for removing the rear speakers in these Civics. A video showing one would not have covered all models; not even close. The good news is that we supply our MasterSheets for the vehicle when speakers are ordered from us. The MasterSheet outlines the process for removing those speakers so they can be replaced. For additional assistance & personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/ContactUs.aspx I hope that helps. --Crutchfield

Why did you have to tap the brake wire? I understood everything up to that point.

[@crutchfield]

That step is only a requirement for touchscreen/video receivers in order to prevent video from displaying on the in-dash screen while you drive. Hope that helps, Crutchfield

I didn't see it where the steering wires are attached is that possible to do with an Alpine and IXL 007

[@crutchfield]

Steering wheel controls are retained by way of a vehicle specific adapter harness. What's the year make and model of your car?

Do you need to upgrade the radio ? For new speakers?

[@crutchfield]

You can upgrade the speakers without upgrading the radio.

Do you need the antenna adapter to be able to use a stereo with aux or Bluetooth?

[@crutchfield]

The antenna adapter is required to connect the Honda factory AM/FM antenna to an aftermarket stereo. It has no effect on the aftermarket stereo's Bluetooth or aux input capabilities.For additional assistance and personalized recommendations, feel free to contact us directly: bit.ly/2jBGHPp Hope that helps.--Crutchfield
