HOW TO INSTALL SCREEN WITH CARPLAY ON HONDA ACCORD 2008-2012 | UPGRADE

If you want to upgrade the look of your car this is definitely the way to go. When you complete the installation you connect to the screen you can do either wired or wireless. The code on most bluetooth screens is (0000) or (1234) if it is not in your manual. If you are not going to be using car play make sure you get a gps antenna and connected to the port that says gps antenna. In this video I didn’t have it but i will be installing it soon and will upload the video.

At the end when you say connect white and red aux cord to radio it has 2 connectors like your did but I can’t find where they go

[@Invisible_Poop]

I bought the same unit as you did, but I have no audio. It did come with that brown harness connector in your video at 14:14 minutes but my stock unit don't have that cable.... not sure how to get sound.

[@backontheroaddiy]

If you have aux in your stock you should have it. Check if it didn’t got pushed back reconnecting everything. This harness connects to the original aux harness from your radio and connects back to the radio and the only thing that you get from this extension is the 2 banana connectors that connects with the headunit so you can get sound through aux. so its like the extension for the little screen that shows the time that gets moved from top to the bottom, just that in this case the extension is use to get the 2 banana cords to connect with the head unit.

[@jamesvoertman3129]

I'm running into the same issue! Do you also only have 3 harnesses? One goes to the console (sound), one is an antenna, and one seems to be identical to the top (mini screen)?

[@alexcastillo658]

@@jamesvoertman3129 Hello, I am running into the same issue currently, were you able to get around this issue?

[@jamesvoertman3129]

@alexcastillo658 Short Story: In my case. I needed a base radio (single CD no-nav). That radio used all the available cables with no "extra" slots left open. Full story: I went from a double din aftermarket that sat where the interface console went. When deciding to get this dash setup, I ordered a console (6CD no-nav) and installed it. No sound and I noticed it had "extra" ports available. After more youtubing, I discovered I needed a lower model of the radio (single CD no-nav). Ordered one off ebay, installed, worked immediately.

[@torreyinnewyorkcity334]

I am wondering if I should upgrade. After seeing this. I thing I should. Is XM radio still a option?

[@backontheroaddiy]

Yes you will still be able to use everything from the stock radio. This would be like your Bluetooth that would access from aux.

[@hermanosponce9996]

i installed mine today, and although it connects to bluetooth it won’t play any music. the radio and other options work fine from the little bottom screen. when i try to do anything besides linking the carplay screen it, it says “please use hfp profile” or something like that. the aux also makes a static noise, but i’m going to fix that by putting it through the center console. do you know what’s wrong?

The audio cable has one red, one white which you connect to the carplay but then the two gray connectors on the other side which is 7 and 8 on the package description, where dp i connect those? I cant find where. Pls help

[@backontheroaddiy]

If the 2 connector come from the same harness there are the aux. when you disconnect the original radio there is one connection for the aux. this is like the extension meaning one grey connector connects to the original radio the other to the one coming out if the car(make sure you didn’t push it down in the car when disconnecting everything). And then the 2 banana cables that goes to the headunit. Hope it helps.

[@GainingDespair]

Ground loop issue, common in car audio, just means you have a poor ground somewhere. If it existed prior to installing this it might be a headunit issue, the preamp can produce static as its going out. If this only appeared after installing it means one of the grounds have a poor connection.

The aftermarket screen works perfect but the old screen on the bottom now doesn’t turn on 😢 problem with the extension? But wouldn’t that mean the mew screen shouldn’t be on as well?

[@backontheroaddiy]

The harness to the screen has nothing to do with the extension for the clock screen. Some come together as a unit just to keep it simple but they are 2 different connectors. I would say its the extension. When you have everything out turn on the car to see if it works. A lot of times the extension is too short and when you put everything back because its under tension the extension gets pulled and gets disconnected. If that its the case you have to play around with the wires so that when you assemble everything the extension have a little bit of play so its not pulling. Also put it back to stock to check that the screen its not damaged. It’s very unlikely to happen but it can.

The radio that moved from the top doesnt turn off when relocated, it's plugged into the extended harness but still nothing 🤔any reason this might be?

[@backontheroaddiy]

Test it before putting it in its new location meaning with the radio out turn the car on and see if it works. If it does and when you put everything in its place it doesn’t. It may be that the harness its too precise in length so you have to play with it because its getting disconnected when you put everything in place. sometimes they are very precise in length and when it gets disconnected when put back together. Also check that the harness is not getting jammed. But if it doesn’t turn on when you testing it (before put in place) than the harness is bad. Talk to the seller so they can send you a new one. I know it gets tricky sometimes but you got it 👍🏽

[@backontheroaddiy]

No worries man lol I like to help. You should check fuse 18 which is a 7.5amp in the fuse box by the driver side to the left of the gas and brake pedal. Check that before you go to a shop (it can get expensive lol).im pretty sure that will fix it. Also, if that fix it remove the t traps and connect the wires directly. T traps sometimes get a loose connection and causes misfires giving you a blown fuse. I know you got it just give that a try and you will be good.

Have you had a problem with a fuse blowing out or dash buttons light not working?

brother i have same product like u have but mine has no sound i do my best but still not working

[@backontheroaddiy]

Brother some cars have an amplifier and if it is not getting power you will get no sound. Look on the back of the head unit to see if you find an amp wire. Usually it is going to be blue with a white stripe but make sure because the radio antenna is also blue. If with you were giving extra set of harnesses check them too because a lot of time one is for cars without amplifier and the other one has the extra amp wire. When you find it connect it to a positive from the OEM harness that would a red wire you can use a t trap to make it easier. That should give power to the amplifier and you should be getting sound. 👍🏽 also check that you put the radio code too i know it is too simple but under stress sometimes we forget to check the most simple thing. Good luck and let me know if you get it to work.
