I Added BLUETOOTH to my OEM EM1 Civic Si Radio CD Player

I thought it would be SO COOL to add bluetooth to my 90s era Honda Civic Si (SiR) factory CD Player/Radio Head unit. So that's what I did. Now while maintaining period correct stock aesthetics (and collectors plate eligibility), I can listen to music off my phone like a modern car. Unlike a modern car though, my bluetooth equipped head unit doesn't crash or freeze for no reason.

Man, these types of old Gen cars are getting modern 3rd party modifications. You can tell the love for the car scene is being cherished. Thank you for this video.

wow! nice mod! i add to my civic 2008 4d BT too plug in and it work, but if you want to add this on 5D 2008 you need activate AUX option and then need solder in few resistors

[@mikeb6389]

Simply use a LM7805 voltage regulator (the *05 = 5 volt output)

[@mikeb6389]

Should have connected the BT output directly to the amp chip with some capacitors.

Yo!

First!

@@AcuraAdvice enjoyed the vid. But wouldn't an fm modulator be easier for Bluetooth?

[@AcuraAdvice]

​@@blue_lancer_es yes it absolutely would haha, but then you have to have a transmitter always plugged into the power outlet, not that thats a big deal or anything, but I wanted to do this because I thought it would be cool and unique. The car would look completely stock and period correct with no accessories plugged in anywhere yet still could pair to your phone. I saw another youtuber (CRXSeth) do a similar thing on a 80s cassette radio a few years ago and I wanted to see if I could adapt it to a 90s CD player radio. So I originally tried it on my CL and it worked so well and sounded so good that I wanted to do it on this car as well. I like challenging myself with little creative projects like this.

@@AcuraAdvice Great. I get it.
