Hi Chris, thanks for the great video. I noticed on your steering wheel on the left, you at least have the basic volume control buttons, exactly like my 2010 Honda Civic. In your video, you say “we don’t have steering wheel controls in this civic” so you’re using the basic scosche HA10B harness, BUT In your description it says “If you have steering wheel VOLUME CONTROLS get the Crux harness”. Could u confirm for me if the scoshe worked with controlling the volume of the Sony Radio via steering wheel volume? I’m just a bit confused so I want to make sure if I get the basic Scoshe, the volume button on the steering wheel will control the volume on the Sony? I will be installing the exact radio you installed so I just want to make sure I’m taking the correct products to my mechanic. Thanks In advance.
@@uniquetress7149 We did not have the steering wheel controls, so no, the Scosche harness will not work to control the radio. You will need the crux harness.
Heyy I’m having an issue with no sound. I have no idea what it is. I have a DX so no premium sound system. I’m getting power. And I kno the speakers work. Have any ideas. What did u do with the secondary harness that was plugged into the oenology radio. Cause you have the main. Then there an additional one that I can’t figure out. And it only has 6 wires and after looking for hours and hours. It doesn’t have that light blue wire that would be the amp power on. You didn’t seem to bypass the amp here so any advice.
If you have steering wheel volume controls you would like to retain with your civic, use the Crux SWRHN-62B harness adapter instead of the Scosche HA10B Wiring Harness Adapter. The Crux adapter is a simple plug and play unit which allows you to keep those buttons working on the steering wheel with the new radio. Cheers!
First, I must say this is a great video. It's really informative. I would like to try to install one in my civic but would like to retain the steering controls. Do you have any videos that show how to use the crux swrhn-62b wiring harness? Thanks
I watched the Crutchfield install video and thought...... why do you need to remove the entire dash? It didn't seem necessary. You proved me right, and you installed the climate control module in correctly. Also very professional soldering job, nice job !!! Crutchfield is tops but their video, while it covered the install well, was a little sloppy and amateurish.
Posi clips? I replaced the radio in my 99 4Runner and now going to do this 08 Civic for my son for Xmas. I liked the plug and play of Crutchfield. don't know how to solder....yet.
Thus is the best video for this! I noticed you didn't have to take the driver side dash out? All other videos have shown this step but yours is by far the simplest! Thank you very much!
This gave me an idea in swapping out the factory radio, was thinking in buying a new car but my 2007 civic only has 68k miles she runs great, just need some tunes for the road. Tyvm for this vid❤❤❤
Great video! Really helpful, especially as a complete novice to pretty much everything in this video (soldering was the only issue but ofc that depends on the individual). (Originally commented about how CarPlay couldn't tell the dimmer status - that was bc the head unit had dimmer set to ON, not AUTO)
I originally bought my kit from Crutchfield but the dash kit I ordered had a crapy way of mounting the radio thanks to this video I just ordered that scosche dash kit! Thank you!
Definitely the best of the few I watched. , I've wired quite a few , so that wasn't my question(s) , my stock oem radio had 2 plugs, 1 plug I can only guess is for the steering wheel controls ??? Also the L brackets you used , my face plate came with but the holes didn't match up with the cheapo head unit I have which also came with metal L brackets. I was able to drill/modify those brackets. Longest part of my install, lol. I'm gonna watch your backup camera video. Thanks ! For the guidance and reassurance
So glad I came across your video. I don't want to spend alot of money for someone else to fix it plus I like fixing on things. I just subbed and going to check your other videos out
been looking for a newer car and have my eye on either a '10 or '11 red civic, i just need nav, good ac and the electric sunroof. thanks so much for this vid!!
Hi man i just bought a csx 2008 and i want to know if its the same way to remove and install a new radio like you did on a civic 06-11 i know they are almost the same but before buy i want if all component are the same and used your video to change my radio...! Thk a lot love the simplicity of your video thk
Friend, when connecting everything again the air conditioning no longer turned on, I already checked and connected the plug in correctly, what could it be? thanks
The shop can make up any price, you can call to find out how much would it cost but you would only be ripped off. Just be a handy man and do it yourself, save money and learn something new at the same time.
Mike A It was my first mod at 15 man. Second mod was putting type r cams in the engine. Third was polishing the head and adding cylinder sleeves. You’d be surprised how easy car stuff is once you watch enough RUclips.
Great video. Im running into 2 problems. I have an EX with steering wheel controls and I hooked everything up and I have no sounds and no control at the steering wheel. Could use some advice?
Any one have issue where the ac/heat buttons stick down (max ac specifically) Great video, that was the only issue I had (of course the whole thing is back together before I noticed the button)
That’s what I figured, Thanks for the reply! I ordered from Crutchfield and it mentions wiring into the brake light wire, for the Sony xav-ax1000 I’m guessing that is as simple as it sounds ?
Thank you for this video!!! It was my first time doing anything to my car and this video really helped. Only issue I have is that I’m not getting any sound. Everything else works but that lol any ideas of what I might have done wrong?
Question! When u put the new head unit did your climate control knobs spot lighting up when u turn the light on at night? Mine did I’m just wondering if there’s a way to make them work??
sweeeeet video! i do have a question though. So i have a 2008 honda civic ex with the premium sound system which has a subwoofer in the rear deck. I think that includes a factory amp.. would i hook up the wire that you left out for an amp for that factory amp?

I dont have am iphone so the apply car play is irrelevant to me, what radio could i use as a replacement? And can it be bigger or only 6.2? I like the sony. I have an android so if i could get one to work with my phone that would be awesome.
I hooked all my wires up by color code. It has power but wont play any sound. Not even static. Not sure what I done wrong. I am also running subs. I've tried to connect through bluetooth and it will connect but not play any sound.
Soldering will always have a better connection. Heat shrink will allow you to have a better seal and protection so nothing arcs/grounds out. That is the last thing you want to happen, especially if you bought an expensive unit.
Very much appreciate the tutorial. I am trying to get my backup camera to work the back is working but front isn't responding. It says the red wire is the 12v acc, switch and I have it wired into both the radio and the car. Thanks in advance
There should be a connector in the back of your unit that may say ANT. Not sure if your unit came with one. If you're talking about your antenna power wire, he wired it to the power wire.
Scosche HA10B Compatible with Select 2006-10 Honda Civic Power/Speaker Connector / Wire Harness for Aftermarket Stereo Installation with Color Coded Wires I know the video says 2006 up but wondering if this will work for my 2011 honda civic LX it does say compatible with select 2006-2010 so I was wondering if its still compatible for mine. Thanks!
I've replaced the radio in my Civic 2010 hatchback but the original AC display stopped working (I knew it would happen) but I don't want to loose the little display since I want to know what my AC is doing. Any advice?
Only if it is highly resistant to heat, especially if you live in a very warm environment. I've seen those things disintegrate a lot. Also, if you are thinking about changing out your aftermarket receiver unit for another one, I wouldn't recommend it.
Im confused what did you do with the smaller wires with no match?? Would the stereo still work if you just wired everything color to color and plugged in?

Sounds like you have the factory amplified sound system. You will need to connect the blue / white wire in your harness adapter to your radio.
@@ProvoBeastAudio when you connect the blue and white to the radio is it canceling out the factory amp ?

You need a special harness to bypass the amp signal
For anyone that has no sound, if you have Premium Audio option, you will need a cable to bypass the stock amp (Metra 70-1727)
Isn't there a way to have the blue /blue white hooked in the harness to make it come on. If the bypass is wired your no longer using the amp correct ?
I am having issues with this. 😢

would splicing it be okay instead of soldering them?
You can splice it pretty much does the same thing but I heard it has a better connection if you solder them together.
Soldering will always have a better connection. Heat shrink will allow you to have a better seal and protection so nothing arcs/grounds out. That is the last thing you want to happen, especially if you bought an expensive unit.

There should be a connector in the back of your unit that may say ANT. Not sure if your unit came with one. If you're talking about your antenna power wire, he wired it to the power wire.
What are these tool called that you take off the bolt?
What about the AUX jack? Is it still functional?
Were do u connect the blue antenna wire from the radio
Generally to your antenna adapter. If your antenna doesn't require it, just cap it off, it wont be used.

Same process for Civic with navigation?
For these years, yes. We just completed a 2013 Civic with Nav which will be up on the channel here shortly.
Does it work even if mine is the honda civic 2008 sport?
What would the different be if you have steering controls?
Slightly different parts needed. Check the description for those variations in parts.
Would you recommend adhesive foam to cover the gap space? Basically making it super flush with the dash.
Only if it is highly resistant to heat, especially if you live in a very warm environment. I've seen those things disintegrate a lot. Also, if you are thinking about changing out your aftermarket receiver unit for another one, I wouldn't recommend it.
Just wondering if you have to have a antenna for the radio to work?
What did you figure out for the horrible FM signal? I'm dealing with a horrible FM signal currently.
Would it work to tie antenna to amplifier turn as well?
What size of stereo does it normally fit?
I bought a 2006 civic. It came with a JVC unit installed. I get a lot of static from the speakers. Do you have a video on how to fix that problem?
Im confused what did you do with the smaller wires with no match?? Would the stereo still work if you just wired everything color to color and plugged in?
