Nice! You kept the factory premium sound system with the after market headunit! I was holding back because I knew I would lose my factory sub but now I know I can do it thanks!
Thanks! Gotta do what I gotta do to fit time in my busy work schedule after work to install mods and that means some installs happen at night unfortunately
I was thinking of getting this done but I rather not and just keep it factory my 2009 honda civic EX-L came with great radio features that allows me to play my music from my phone through car.
Hey, thanks for the video! I'm feeling like I could probably manage this, too, with your excellent help. One question, I tried to follow the link to that amazon page you listed above but it's a broken link. Any chance you could list what you purchased so that I could find it, too? You made it look so easy!

Im still having trouble with my sound. I connected the light blue with the dark blue and i finally got the music connected and shows up but theres still no sound, not even to the radio. I have a 2007 EX couple. It also has the premium auto system
No problem! Glad you found the video helpful and the install process was easy. I do have some static from time to time. I heard that an amplifier might be able to eliminate that
You're welcome, glad it helped! Not sure about that since I never had that issue. From what I know, the wire fix just helps to get audio for those with premium audio in the car
Yes you can. You'll just have to go to steering wheel settings on the radio to set it up again before the volume connects to the steering wheel controls
hey man i was just curious were did you get your window visors from and do you know the brand? also after splicing the teal wire and getting sound was it saticy at all, and when the volume was at 1 (lowest setting) was it still loud like a 10 on the stock radio.. those are the problems im having. hope this reaches you as the video is already 6 months old lol.
Hey, I got the window visors on eBay. I don't remember the brand but they are called "Mugen style window visors" or something like that. As for the radio, mine doesn't sound staticy. Connection could be loose if yours is. Also with the volume settings, those are pretty normal with aftermarket radios. I've had a few different ones over the years on different cars and they tend to me on the loud side even on volume 1
I have this same problem, I have Volume 1 and it sounds as if it were volume 10, all the speakers are heard well, only the subwoofer is not heard, can you help me?
Did the radio work with just installing those two wires on the oem harness? Isnt the other small wire for radio? I'm wondering if that plugs in somewhere
No problem! Glad you found the video helpful. I don't use apple car play so I'm not sure but it might be the same as Android auto where you connect the cable to your phone and click on "easy connect" app.
@@TheJMedia I mean once you connect it to your phone CarPlay/android auto pops up automatically but right after you press “home” on the tablet, how do we get android auto/CarPlay back on?
@@TheJMedia nvm I found out how to do it. By the way I’m getting a low static/white noise when my audio is on even at 0 volume. But when I mute the car the noise is gone. I followed 100% what you did. Any idea why this is happening?
So my unit has a pink wire that’s just hanging with nothing going to it but no blue wire. Or did you actually cut the blue antenna wire to then splice the baby blue wire to it? I couldn’t see that well in the video
Thanks for this video. I installed per your instruction and everything is working except for the radio. It makes those static radio sound but the unit isn't picking up any radio station. any advice?
just bought this radio, installed it, and im getting no power to it, i checked both fuse on radio and fuse on car, and all cable connections, any help?? THANKS!
Hi! Did your 2 screws under the radio go back in with the aftermarket head unit? I just installed mine and there’s no way it would work there. Without them it seems a bit shaky to me.
The 2 screws under the radio don't go onto the aftermarket head unit since the mounting bracket is different. It's more of a "clip on" with the aftermarket
does the screen come with all the cables needed to install this in the car? or are there any additional cables i need to buy to install it? please respond i want this really badly. THANKS!!
Hey I just purchased the same unit, I’m having trouble putting the two annoying screws back under the system. It’s like the bracket for the screws to go into are on the old head unit so how would I add the two screws without the bracket being there to hold the screws up??
Hey, If you're having issues with putting the two screws back on, you don't have to use them since some aftermarket stereo kits don't use the same mounting brackets. The rest of the dash clips will be able to hold the stereo in place without popping out.
Whats up, ive got a similar headunit that im trying to install in my si. Im aware of having to splice the blue wire for premuim audio, but im concerned about the main connector side of the radio (next to the fuse side). On mine, the radio's wiring harness has a couple wires hanging because ive also got the option for a backup cam. The wire im concerned about is the "key-2", im not sure if its supposed to be wired to something thats only on in accessory mode or something. Any help would be appreciated
Hey, yea mine has a couple of hanging wires too. Some are for back up cam, amps, etc. Everything should work just fine if installed the same as my video!
@The J Media what's up, I put mine in, and I'm getting sound, but only from the sub. Idk what I need to do. After researching I've seen amp bypass harnesses and stuff but I'm not sure Edit: I fixed it, but the subwoofer is too loud, I'm trying to find eq settings or something
If it's the very first time removing the bolts, they can take a little bit to get them out. They will come out eventually if you take your time and have the right tools!
Sure thing! Glad you found it helpful. The stereo itself is not amplified but it depends on what model Civic you have. Some like the civic Si and some Civic ex models have amplifier in the oem radio and some do not. If it has an amp, you stock radio will say "premium audio system" on it
That's weird. I've done a few cars with the factory amp this way and it worked. Is yours the si model with factory amp as well? Make sure to check all wiring and fuses are good
@@lucasmartinez5329 I Actually did, Previous owner cut off the factory amp. my guess is , he couldn't disconnect it. So now the audio shop says they have to rewire the speakers
I just installed this unit, the Bluetooth works fine and I get sound from music that way, however my car is picking up no radio stations just static, any advice?
Hmm does your car come with the premium audio from factory with the amps? Sounds like a reception issue if you're not having radio but can have sound with Bluetooth
@@TheJMedia I have an LX Coupe without premium audio, which antennae handles the radio because I see the GPS one and the 4G but there is no radio antennae, the radio works on the old dash fine, but picks up just static on this one
It could be a bad ground with some wires touching. I would recommend getting an amp for it and double checking to make sure that no loose wires hanging and touching. Also wrap any exposed wires with electrical tape.
What’s up man. I have the same brand android head unit as you. I did exactly everything you did but I’m getting static through the speakers and the volume is extremely loud at volume level 4. Any advice on how to fix this?
Hey, were your speakers working fine before the install? With aftermarket head units, I would recommend an aftermarket amp to help eliminate that issue.
@@TheJMedia thanks for the reply! Yeah my speakers worked fine before installing the android head unit. Yeah it seems like an aftermarket amp would be the best solution. I’ve been searching and researching for hours on how to fix this and can’t find a viable solution with the premium audio system
Yea aftermarket amp would work. I have two aftermarket head units on two different cars and thankfully no static but the volume is either super soft or loud like you said
if you haven’t bought and installed an amp yet you can try and use RCA cables for your speakers connecting to your new hu. it will eliminate the static and will fix the volume to normal
That's weird. Mine never had that issue. It's either no sound at all or if sound comes on, it works for both radio and Bluetooth/apple car play. Maybe try to contact the company you bought it from. Might be a faulty unit
If your audio is working for radio, it should work with Bluetooth as well. Mine has no issues. Might be an electrical issue with your head unit. See if the seller can send you a new one
There are many similar looking ones online but some specs are different than others. Mine was labelled "amp" on the wire so I knew which one to connect
Sorry to hear about that. Maybe take it to a shop to diagnose to see what the blue wire is. I only know the baby blue wire is the amp for civics with premium sound
Hi there! I'm looking to buy this for my boyfriend's 2011 civic si, I was just wondering how it's held up for you? He still has the stock head unit installed, and is using an fm adaptor where there's crazy static in some parts of the city. Have you noticed any static with this, and if so how bad? Thanks in advanced for the help!
Hey, this headunit has worked for me well the last few years! There are many headunits out there that look similar. I would say if you get one, get the better specs one with 32gb and 4g ram and rom speed.
Nope. Same kits but if you have premium sound then you'll have to splice the light blue amp wire for sound. If you don't have premium sound, don't need to splice anything and plug and play.
@@TheJMedia any chance you have more info on how to setup the steering wheel controls. I just got this after watching your video. I have it all working but I can’t get the steering controls to work (vol + vol -). Other than that I love it.
@@TheJMedia I just have one more question, what’s the blue wire for that is in my car because I did splice that and thought that is is my factory amplifier but the new stereo still works.
Is it a light blue colored wire from the OEM wire harness? If it is, I was under the impression that was the amp wire. Not sure if not other models it's something else
I have a wire that has a sticker and it says AMP CTRL, I’m just wandering if that is one of the blue that I need to cut and solder it to the blue colored wire?
@@TheJMedia Also, I have Honda Civic Coupe 2D LX. When I check my factory harness to look for a baby blue colored wire, I only see one blue wire, is that the one that I have to cut and wire it to the amp wire?
I believe the LX does not have a factory amp. If it doesn't, then you shouldn't have to splice any wires and it is just plug and play. Check to see whether your car has premium sound factory amp.
Still works great! There are a few different options that look the same online but as long as you don't go with the cheapest $100+ one you're fine. The cheap options only have 1gb ram and 16gb rom which is why so slow. If you spend about $300-$500, you can get a better unit

Pair them digitally with the head unit under settings.

Hmm does your car come with the premium audio from factory with the amps? Sounds like a reception issue if you're not having radio but can have sound with Bluetooth
@@TheJMedia I have an LX Coupe without premium audio, which antennae handles the radio because I see the GPS one and the 4G but there is no radio antennae, the radio works on the old dash fine, but picks up just static on this one
It could be a bad ground with some wires touching. I would recommend getting an amp for it and double checking to make sure that no loose wires hanging and touching. Also wrap any exposed wires with electrical tape.
Hey im having EXTREME amounts of trouble taking OFF the two bolts under the dash. How did you get them to unscrew since mine feel stuck
I had no issues taking them off. Do you have the right tools for the job?
@@TheJMedia i finally was able to get it off. But it took so much time and will power 😂
Haha working on cars be like that sometimes 🤣
What’s up man. I have the same brand android head unit as you. I did exactly everything you did but I’m getting static through the speakers and the volume is extremely loud at volume level 4. Any advice on how to fix this?
Hey, were your speakers working fine before the install? With aftermarket head units, I would recommend an aftermarket amp to help eliminate that issue.
@@TheJMedia thanks for the reply! Yeah my speakers worked fine before installing the android head unit. Yeah it seems like an aftermarket amp would be the best solution. I’ve been searching and researching for hours on how to fix this and can’t find a viable solution with the premium audio system
Yea aftermarket amp would work. I have two aftermarket head units on two different cars and thankfully no static but the volume is either super soft or loud like you said
if you haven’t bought and installed an amp yet you can try and use RCA cables for your speakers connecting to your new hu. it will eliminate the static and will fix the volume to normal
@@jeweledrada6258 I'll try this thank you.
Hey What size is of those 4 screws that hold android with frame?
Hey sorry not sure if the size of the screws
wassup man! having an issue with the bluetooth and car play…radio works just fine just cant play my own music
Sounds like it might be an issue with your Bluetooth settings since you are getting sound from radio
@@TheJMedia checked those..everything is up and set correctly…i even played it from the usb port and no sound it just plays
That's weird. Mine never had that issue. It's either no sound at all or if sound comes on, it works for both radio and Bluetooth/apple car play. Maybe try to contact the company you bought it from. Might be a faulty unit
Hey man I know you posted a while ago but if your connected to Apple car play is it laggy at all?
I've only connected it to Android auto since I have a Google phone, but I believe it should work pretty quickly just the same for apple car play.
while driving can you turn off the screen completely?
That's a great question. I haven't tried but I believe you can
Hi how dod you het your Bluetooth to work i get radio sound but no Bluetooth sound
If your audio is working for radio, it should work with Bluetooth as well. Mine has no issues. Might be an electrical issue with your head unit. See if the seller can send you a new one
@@TheJMedia I died it I had to splice accessorie red wire with the baby blue wire and now have Bluetooth
@user-eg7ve9xy3y that's good that you figured it out and working now
have the same head unit. i have an after market amp but idk where on the head unit the blue wire from the amp goes. can anyone help?
There are many similar looking ones online but some specs are different than others. Mine was labelled "amp" on the wire so I knew which one to connect
How has it held up since install ? Thanks
Held up great! Been running the same since the install and it has been over a year already.
Did you have to buy any adapters or just the unit?
Just got the headunit. Any wire harnesses needed are included
So i accidentally did the blue one instead of the baby blue one. Is there going to he a problem with the blue of not connected anymore?
Not sure what the other blue wire is, but do you have sound on your new stereo? If yes, then that's good
@@TheJMedia i do not sadly
Sorry to hear about that. Maybe take it to a shop to diagnose to see what the blue wire is. I only know the baby blue wire is the amp for civics with premium sound
Hi there! I'm looking to buy this for my boyfriend's 2011 civic si, I was just wondering how it's held up for you? He still has the stock head unit installed, and is using an fm adaptor where there's crazy static in some parts of the city. Have you noticed any static with this, and if so how bad? Thanks in advanced for the help!
Hey, this headunit has worked for me well the last few years! There are many headunits out there that look similar. I would say if you get one, get the better specs one with 32gb and 4g ram and rom speed.
@@TheJMediawhat head units would you recommend for iPhone? Also have 2010 Civic lx
This headunit would work for both iPhone and Android. Has apple car play and android auto
@@TheJMediaty J 🙏
Hi, thanks for the video! Does this unit come with android auto built in?
No problem! Yes it comes with Android auto built in
@@TheJMedia thank you! i just bought one!
No problem! I am sure you will enjoy it!
Hi! i got it today and got it install! mine looks way diferent than yours. Its the same on the link
@@TheJMedia both android auto and car play built in?
Can I just use electrical tape and not soldering it??
Yes you can as well. Soldering would be better but electrical tape works too
Link to the head unit?
Here is the link to buy it: amzn.to/3qZMj6v
I thought there were different kits depending on the trim if you had premium sound or not?
Nope. Same kits but if you have premium sound then you'll have to splice the light blue amp wire for sound. If you don't have premium sound, don't need to splice anything and plug and play.
@@TheJMedia ahhh nice thanks
@@TheJMedia also did you have to connect wires for e brake, reverse lights ?
Nope I didn't have to mess with any of that. If you connect a back up camera, you might need to wire it up. I personally have not done that
@@TheJMedia interesting wonder why some people have to do that
Are you anywhere near NY to do this to my Honda ?
Sorry I'm not unfortunately. I'm down south in Texas
How did you get the Apple CarPlay to work ?
If you’re unit didn’t come with the adapter, you will need to order the Apple Play dongle.
Is there a way to add a back up camera?
Yes there is! Can be purchased seperately
Did u have the premium audio system
Yes I have the premium audio system
Does that work with the control on the steering wheel?
Yes it does but you will have to set it up after installing the aftermarket head unit
the one I bought looks just like yours and my steering wheel controls work....you just set them up
@@TheJMedia any chance you have more info on how to setup the steering wheel controls. I just got this after watching your video. I have it all working but I can’t get the steering controls to work (vol + vol -). Other than that I love it.
Where did you get a your window visor from
Hey, I think I got it off ebay/Amazon. Mugen style window visor
How do you change the language in the settings?
Have not messed with language settings yet but I believe it should be under "settings" and it should be there
Mine doesn’t turn off when I turn my car off
It should shut off when you turn your car off. You might have had it wired incorrectly
What is the long device that comes with it for? Because I don’t think it is the gps because I got the little black square gps and a microphone
The long black wired one is 4G connection. Also came with the GPS and microphone
@@TheJMedia thank you
@@TheJMedia I just have one more question, what’s the blue wire for that is in my car because I did splice that and thought that is is my factory amplifier but the new stereo still works.
Is it a light blue colored wire from the OEM wire harness? If it is, I was under the impression that was the amp wire. Not sure if not other models it's something else
@@TheJMedia yes is it the blue wire from the OEM wires and I didn’t connect it back and everything still works 😅
yoo, can you link that shift knob?
You can buy it from spoon sports website.

@@TheJMedia how did it fit your 8th gen? it says for 10th and 11th?
I don't have the original listing I found it from anymore. But check their website to see if there is one for 8th Gen
I have a wire that has a sticker and it says AMP CTRL, I’m just wandering if that is one of the blue that I need to cut and solder it to the blue colored wire?
Yea it seems like that might be the one since it is labeled amp
@@TheJMedia Also, I have Honda Civic Coupe 2D LX. When I check my factory harness to look for a baby blue colored wire, I only see one blue wire, is that the one that I have to cut and wire it to the amp wire?
I connected it and it didn’t work, still now sound
I believe the LX does not have a factory amp. If it doesn't, then you shouldn't have to splice any wires and it is just plug and play. Check to see whether your car has premium sound factory amp.
@@TheJMedia how do I chech if I have premium sound factory amp?
17:48
I connected it, and still it does not give me sound.
Does yours have the premium amp?
Year later was it worth it or does was it trash?
Still works great! There are a few different options that look the same online but as long as you don't go with the cheapest $100+ one you're fine. The cheap options only have 1gb ram and 16gb rom which is why so slow. If you spend about $300-$500, you can get a better unit
would this work on a honda civic 2012 coupe
You would have to get a headunit for the 9th Gen civic since this one fits 2008 to 2011 models.
