@@hurstysgarageI have a RL 07, and I purchased the same Stereo and Harness that you link up. Soldered all Wire properly, dash was very trick to make work but: turned on the key power came on at stereo. Radio play for about 10 minutes and stop to play. Stereo keeping turn on and off. The equipment never found my wifi and Bluetooth. Two days trying to figure it out. I done, gonna return it. Thanks for the video.

Ohhhh man.. thats incredible how i was looking into this unit and found your videos, and I have a RL as well. And after replacing my transmission 3 weeks ago I found your videos about the leek you had. The only thing you are missing for me is the rotted rocker panel, can you make videos on redoing rocker panel? 😂😂 I also like the painting on your RL very nice. All around thanks for your videos,very helpful. God bless!

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey Ricardo...glad you decided to bring your RL back to life with a new tranny (should be good for another 300k now)! Yeah, those rocker panels can be a real bear if you live in a place with salt and moisture. Luckily, before I painted my truck, I got rid of my rust there with sanding (did not penetrate all the way through...but sounds like you didn't get same luck. Let me know how it goes...and god bless you too;-)

[@uptownsfinest1598]

I have a pilot with an android 10" like yours difference is mines has a single din 10" and I can't get the trim over the screen , is your trim that wide that you can put the radio thru ?

[@hurstysgarage]

Uptown, that is the HARDEST part to accomplish! I had to leave a 1/2 to 1" gap to ba able to fit our trim over stereo faceplate. Its a real pain to get the spacing right and still let trim go over but it can be done...just cover stereo screen with something so you don't scratch if when trying to do this. And I started from steering wheel and shifter to get that over, then around stereo...hooking wires near there as needed, then worked my way left towards door to clip in.

[@Papi_in_Bahrain]

Man... I got everything to work except the back up camera!. I gave up for now on that. I tried for 3 hours to get the panel back but seems like with new screen it does not fit over it...ill fight it tomorrow. Great video.

[@franciscothomas4374]

Thanks for the vid got it on my 2013 ridgeline only wish you would show putting the trim back over the mount it's a pain, also more into clam with aftermarket was not easy I will have to go over but I love the stereo have you done anything kool with it? What can it do?

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey Francisco...thanks buddy:-) Yeah, sorry, that was kind of a pain...just make sure you leave enough space between radio and mount so you can fit trim over. And try starting on the right (after going over shifter) with trim on radios right, then slide left a bit, then should slip over, but don't forget to connect air control harnesses. And, I've been basically using it for Netflix and just the radio so far, and a few games that I downloaded prepared. But if you get yours up and running let me know and let me know what you've done... Thanks again for coming and hope it works out for you:-)

[@betty77020]

Hi! Can you do an update on how you like your stereo! Im really leaning on purchasing this same brand and do a step by step with your video depending on how you liked this product. Thank you

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey betty77020...thank you for comment first off! I do like it, but after checking the price on it now, not sure that I would recommend so much anymore. It was a hell-of-a-deal at the $130ish price I got it for, but of course they raised it considerably now. If you do purchase it, I do not think you will be disappointed...just in price.

[@jasongabrielschulte7811]

I still didn't see how you got the dashboard around a wider screen. I want to have a plan before I install and I'm replacing a non working Honda Ridgeline 2007 factory with Navi. A little more complicated because it takes up 3 slots on the stock. I have a kit for it but now trying to figure out how my screen which is bigger than the hole will go in , it's not like the old slip in after sleeve

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey Jason...it was definitely tough and not fun...but if you play with it a bit it eventually slips over on an angle...just make sure you put trim over shift knob first, then start at top corner of faceplate and use gap between top of screen and back of unit as buffer to maneuver rest of trim over faceplate. It took me a few swear words and some tries to finally get it, but it will work:-) Sorry, I don't have any pics of that. Let me know how it goes...crossing fingers!!!!

Love the name (Honda Freak)...Yeah, in the Ridgeline, it sounds really good (very clean and clear with trebble, and base hits unexpectedly harder than I thought with BONE stock setup besides head unit). Now if you are a real connoisseur sound oh, then you are going to have to of course add an amp and upgrade to a subwoofer! But again, just the stock set up with the head unit does a really good job:-)

Should GPS be external? I've put mine out passenger side on chevy Silverado

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey James, awesome question! And don't take my advice, but here is an article written by a well known company... In most cases, you can mount the GPS antenna near the top of the underside of your dash (behind or above the receiver). Satellite signals are so strong and reliable these days that this should be sufficient to maintain reliable reception. It also serves to keep the antenna out of sight.  www.crutchfield.com › learn How to Install a Car Navigation System - Crutchfield Thanks for watching my video:-)

[@LxL9170]

How did you fit the dashboard back on since the screen is larger then the bezel?

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey lucky Lovan... it sure is a pain in the rear, but it is possible, you just have to be patient and start with the left side and around the steering wheel and shifter first and then the rest after that! I'm so sorry that I didn't get that on the video, but it did take me a little while to do myself!

[@grimeshpatel7304]

Great Work!!! I have the Stereo for the same car. How did you install the Dash Panel back after installing the Stereo. Can you share instructions or a video. would really appreciate it.

[@hurstysgarage]

Hello Grimesh...that was the fun part! Sorry, I did not put that in video...it was a real pain to maneuver dash faceplate. What you want to do is allow for about an 3/4" to 1 1/2" gap between mounting faceplate and headunit to start...then when installing dash trim plate, make sure vehicle lever is still in D2, slide trim over shifter, then over and around stereo faceplate (this is hardest part, and make sure to try not to scratch front glass by keeping original protector plastic on screen), it will fit cause trim faceplate does bend and stretch ever so slightly. Then you are home free to pop on therside by window. The key is to leave enough space between stereo head unit screen face (apprx. 1") and mounting hardware face so you have enough room to work around mounting trim nd allowing also for trim face width:-)

I have ridgeline 2006 the GPS is obsolete. How can i update it?

[@hurstysgarage]

I think your best option Manuel, is to replace the factory head unit, and replace it with a unit that has an updated GPS unit and setup/screen that you like. The hikity unit is a decent choice, but is not necessarily specific to the vehicle, so some modification is needed. I like to search Amazon with my specific year and make/model vehicle, to find the exact unit that will fit my vehicle, with the options that I prefer. Let me know what you finally decide on...cause it might help others out in the future. Thanks for the great question, and watching the video:-)

And, 16 vs the 32 area would not allow you to store as many songs or apps or games or video/pics. I guess it depends on how much you think you will use the screen mirror application so you are using phone, or whether you are using headunit mostly.

Question after you put the new stereo how you put back the panel if is smaller than the stereo???

Cesar...that's why I leave a 1/2" to 3/4" gap between stereo faceplate and mounting faceplate, so you can slide vehicle trim around stereo and then work it around and snap in...you will have a gap in the end depending on how close you were able to get it, that you can fill with black foam or other appropriate material to fill...but I was able to get it really tight.

Can you put link that would fit 2008 Honda Ridgeline? I checked Hikkity page but does not show a fit for my 2008 Ridgeline! Thanks

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey John C...great question...Amazon initially had this as a fit for my vehicle (08 ridgeline) when you input your vehicle for fitment, but now it states, "may not be compatible". So, I corresponded with Hikity, and they gave me this response... A: Hi. To check if it fits your car, please measure the installation size and confirm the harness. Main Screen Size: 250(W)*145(H)mm. With metal sheet fixed on, installation size: 180(W)*75(H)*70(D)mm. It comes with a harness with naked wires, without connector. Some cars need to buy a dash kit and dedicated harness/adapter if you want perfectly fitted. I bought the aftermarket dash kit because their metal frame is not exact fit, and although I had to do some slight modification, it fits really well in the end. But yes, be advised, it is not an exact fitment (again, I had to modify their brackets by bending them straight a bit to fit with aftermarket kit), but wires and all electronics are not the issue. Hope that answers your question:-)

[@穗羊下凡]

Thank you for sharing! One question, how is the original volume control on your Honda steering wheel maintaining connect to the new touch screen unit? Is it the unit come with the compatibility to the steering wheel remote switch? Or need the specifics adapter on top of that?

Hey Jeremy, don't threat, it will work...the 2 metal brackets in the dash kit are angled and you want them to be straight (so you will have to bend them)...then you can align holes with stereo and bracket easier and slide a couple of small nuts and bolts (which I think I used the bolts out of the original metal dash kit and some nuts I had from other projects, its been a little while though), and that should allow attachment to fstereo and faceplate bracket and allow you to position the right distance you want (1/2 to1") for ease of installing truck dash over stereo faceplate.

glad to see your enjoying the Ridge.... :) Curious to know if your ridge came with a stock sub woofer(could not tell by your video)? because if it did you can actually hook it up to the your unit or any head aftermarket unit by connecting a small amp right in behind the radio space where the stock wires/harness is..... 😊 I also noticed you didn't setup a Bluetooth MIC for handsfree calling? is there not this option to connect a microphone on the back of these units? 🤷

[@hurstysgarage]

It might have, but the previous owner went through this thing and took out a bunch of things and added a ton (it was used as a private security vehicle and they stripped it and put light bars and a bunch of cbs and extra radios), so when I got it, I pieced it back together with the original head I got from ebay before deciding to switch to the new one. I plan on in the future adding one in (sub), but this is my second vehicle...I use a little toyota Corolla for daily driver most of time during week for gas mileage and when I dont need to transport my family in comfort (toyotas pretty rough)!

Hey Luis... hey partner, I answered number 4 question in your previous comment:-) and as far as number one and number three... I would use the harness to connect the wire to, instead of going to the battery for both those oh, but you can do that if you want it just means you have to run extra wire all the way over there, and it is not necessary so just connect those to the aftermarket harness wire with a corresponding yellow and red to red and black to Black... The other ways going straight to the battery creates a whole heck of a lot more work or connecting the ground to the chassis which is not necessary because the Aftermarket Wiring Harness goes into your factory harness which is connected to all the necessary spots:-) let me know how it goes but you are definitely on the right track and are doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing!

Hey Yul...it is a BIG screen, you are right! It is definitely not for everyone, and would look more "streamline" with say like a 7" screen. Thanks for comment 😀👍

Thank you for the video! I have a 2014 Ridgeline, after seeing your video, I'd decided to purchase the same touch screen. Before install this to my truck, I'm hoping if you or someone in here can tell me , if i want to keep my cd player, can that be possible? Tia!

[@hurstysgarage]

Hey Eddie...unfortunately, with this option, the cd player will have to go bye, bye. It is a tough choice I know...so think about it long and hard. Let me know what you decided:-)
