How To Remove 2016 & Up Honda Civic Radio

[@shramsay]

This is really well done, I know it’s been 4 years but had to say, out of all the interior civic vids I’ve seen this was the most to the point, also was damn clear on where each connection was and everything. Great job!

Excellent tutorial! I was confident when I popped out each piece that I was'nt irreparably damaging anything. The uncoupling in the back was tricky on a few connectors and had to use the screw driver to press down on the tabs, but I got it done. Thank you!

You're a lifesaver! Used this to replace a the cracked touch screen in my 2016 Civic. For those with a similar problem, I was able to buy a replacement OEM screen on ebay for around $250. They seem to be pretty plentiful on there.

I’m looking into buying one on eBay as well to replace my cracked screen in my 2016 civic. The one you got on eBay is it just easy plug and play once you switch it out? No reprogramming needed etc?

The touch screen display is scratched on my 2016 Honda Civic and I want to replace it. Would it be possible to remove only the touch screen to replace it with another?

Yes you can replace the screen, theres 4 small screws on each size of the unit then the blue cord that's attached to the screen disconnect that, the screen is just clipped in so just pull and separate it from the unit

So I just replaced the touch screen on my moms head unit and when I popped it back in the system says it needs to sync gps and could take ten minutes but it just times out. Also the lane assist camera doesn’t work. Somehow I figured out how to get into the diagnostics and it says gps and lane assist have “NG” which I’m assuming is no ground.

The sub cord that go's from the screen to the back of the radio on the radio end its a grey coupler and on the screen end its a blue coupler. Disconnect each end and reset them.

This is a great video. Super straightforward and incredibly concise. Thank you for posting this. My question: Is there a good sized void behind the OEM double din stereo after you remove it? A few of the replacement stereo/monitor combos I've been looking at are pretty large, and the wiring harness connections I need for those look like they'd take up a good amount of room in that dead space. Would you say it's spacious behind the OEM stereo? Or is it pretty tight, and already full of connections from the factory install? Thanks in advance!!
