The one thing not mentioned in your install video. I have a 2016 Honda Civic Touring model. And I have the life time subscription to Sirius Radio. Which my stock radio pretty much stays on for music listening. Unless I have my GPS up. But I'd love to swap my stock radio for this model here. Except for the fact you didn't mention if this radio has built in Sirius or not? Without Sirius, I would not be able to sacrifice my stock radio if that's the case.
Disregard my previous question. I just followed your link to read about it and check the reviews on Amazon. And after reading about it on there, I saw where they mention this Radio "DOES NOT WORK IN THE HONDA CIVIC TOURING MODELS".
Did you have to buy a dash kit or anything cause I have a Honda Civic Ex would this work
Only issue I have on my 2019 civic LX is I've lost the dash display of the wrench that shows oil life and other things and now I have a turbo display but I have the 2.0 litre engine no turbo is this normal?
Hey man i was curious i have an LX and have 2x12 inch subwoofers in the trunk does this headunit support aftermarket subwoofers? appreciate the video very informative thanks :)
OMG thank u so much for sharing this. I saw ALOT of videos on what to do and NONE were step by step DIY. this saved me alot of money because to be honest i hate relying on someone else to do something so simple for me lol thank you thank you
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching :)
This is a great tutorial for novices, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
How has it held up?
Super cool, great video too. Considering getting one for my Civic, how well does Apple CarPlay work on it? Is it laggy when using it wireless? Also, if you wanted to use CarPlay plugged in, where do you run that wire through?
Hi Joseph. Apple CarPlay works great, and not laggy at all.
If you wanted to connect through a wire, you would just connect through your USB port on the front of the car :)
Does this unit have an HDMI port in the back of it to hook up a PS4?
Thanks for the vid. I just ordered one for my 2020 Sport Hatch. Had to do a lot of digging to make sure my climate controls would work as I don’t have the base model radio.
Glad it helped!
@@RevolveAuto this radio is freaking awesome!!!!!
hey what did you end up having to do to fix your climate control?
hi, would it also be the same install for the 2018 Hatchback Sport Touring models?
Thanks for the video. I'm definitely try this on my 2017 civic LX.
I wish someone made an aftermarket head unit with volume/control knobs instead of just touch screens. Nice video though.
Completely agree! Appreciate the support :)
there's a chinese unit with a volume knob
@@nando937 Okay. Can you post the link for it? Or do you know where I can buy it?
Wonder how this one compares to the joying brand radio
How is that little blue wire hooked up to the canbus
Hi guys, I bought and assembled the SYGAV version 11 myself in like 30 minutes on my Honda XL. To connect the antena to the radio, you just have to connect the actual antena wired that’s already on your car ( there is no need to add the antena… just attach it to one of the bunch of cables😅😅) . However, to have access to the USB port provided by Honda, you will have to pair two different cables( one that will be connected with the usb wired on the Honda, that then will be connected to another cable that have two ends that says USB1 and USB2, connect the cable on the usb1 and the other end will be placed on the infotainment ( to know where it goes, please read the back of the infotainment… right there it says where to add all the cables like USB I believe is section N#6).
Pros and cons of the SIGAV infotainment:
Pros:
- Better sound quality
- CarPlay, android and gps accessibility
-Capability to watch videos ( when you’re not driving 😅) with pretty good resolution
- it reacts pretty well when you touch it.
- I mean, it’s like an android tablet with radio and CarPlay -
Cons:
- there’s like 1-2 seconds delay with the music on CarPlay. I guess there is no way to resolve this problem. There are some cars with the stocked market infotainment that also have that problem. So I wouldn’t bothered with a bit of delay 😅
I would say that that’s the only problem I’ve found so far. It’s pretty expensive but it’s worth it at the same time. I would give it 9/10.
Thanks alot. My default usb works great.
Do the buttons on the steering wheel still work?
Everyone complains my microphone is awful. I believe it’s using the small mic hole in the top left corner instead of the factory mic.
Yeah the mic isn't the best, but you can change the location with an external mic, and place it under your steering wheel.
Just installed this unit today thanks to your video! Its been 5 months, did any issues come up or is it still running smooth? Also do you know if theres any way to reduce the slight half a second lag between pressing play on a song and it actually playing? This last question may be a little nit picky but before on my old head unit I used to be able to play a song and record a video with any audio issues, however with this head unit every time I record the video will come back silent on my phone or the audio quality will be very bad! Sorry for all the questions and thank you in advance if you respond!
Been thinking of upgrading the basic head unit on my 17 civic lx. Are you still able to use the buttons on the steering wheel like you would with the original head unit?
I just installed this unit yesterday! Thanks to your video, it was so much easier to install. Are you using the WiFi? If so, what are you connecting to?
Thank you for watching! Yes I'm using WiFi and connecting to CAR-KIT
How and where do you connect the voice wire?
I own a 2017 Type R. Does this unit also allow you to control all the cars systems like the original. Example would be door locks, alarm settings, headlight settings, interior light settings, etc etc. Because I have yet to come across any aftermarket radio that has all the functionality of the OEM radio as far as the vehicles system setup. And trust me, I would LOVE to get an aftermarket radio thats got a bigger screen and is faster, but not at the cost of losing the ability to control the cars settings like I listed.
Hi there! I took a look and in the CAR settings on the headunit, you're able to control all of those settings :)
How’s the head unit treating you? You notice any sound quality improvements over the stock radio? Picking up a 17 civic and has the base model one and this unit looks promising.
Love this head unit! Sounds quality is improved a bit and it has a full equalizer in the sound settings which is nice. Definitely recommend :)
Hi, why are there so many brands that look exactly the same? Are they just the same product with different names?
That’s what I thought but they all have different Operating Systems, so some are really slow. The SYGAV one I made this video on was the fastest of the like three different ones I’ve tried
@@RevolveAuto what do you think about the Hizpo brand one ?
Do you have any recommendations since installing?
Not really! It's pretty straight forward, all the cables are labeled and it's all just plug and play :)
Are there still the lines that turn when you turn the wheel in the back up camera ?
Yes you turn that on in the settings!
@@RevolveAuto Thanks
@@RevolveAuto are you able to make a settings video ?
Still no aux plug in on these unit huh?
Phone mirror?
can you access the oil service menu and TPMS for the RS model? as far as I know the base model has a separate TPMS button on the left panel of the steering wheel but in my model it doesn't have and my screen display broke
Sir if we have already camera installed in orginal radio then how to connect it with android screen?
It will automatically connect once you plug in all the cables in the back👍🏼
@@RevolveAuto i plugged everything and my rear view camera and steering wheel controls don’t work. 2018 honda civic sedan owner.
is this a wireless connectivity with android auto and apple car play? or is there a USB port you need to plug the phone into to get that feature?
How has it been after a couple months?
My biggest fear is buying one of these and it malfunctioning
Also, how is it with iPhone connectivity?
Where’d you get the shifter knob?

Will you have access to the the default car setting which includes the driving sensors,lighting systems and lock systems etc.i can only see the settings fir the system but not the car settings. I want to know plss
How do I take off the right camera thing? I don't have it so it just gives me an error code but otherwise it's great
I want to get this but im not confident in installing it properly
I’d say go for it! I also thought it would be tougher to install but all the cables are labeled and laid out for a plug and play install. In another sense, just like putting LEGO’s together 👍🏼
Does the factory USB port still work? Or you gotta use an adapter?
It comes with a adapter. Very easy to install
What about Vehicle settings inside stock player? Are these settings available after you changing to aftermarket android player?
did we find out?
Bro how you you turn off the speed limit voice notifications
It only does that for mine when I have the GPS app open. So if you close it you should be good
What's the difference between this and the dasaita brand?
There are quite a lot of differences here.
First off the Dasaita does not support wireless Apple Carplay/Android Auto so you need to purchase a $70 cable in order to connect your phone which is annoying. SYGAV has it built-in with a wireless connection, so hassle-free.
Dasaita is a 9-inch screen, with 32 GB ROM (Read-only Memory) and a 1024x600 res screen. While the SYGAV *which is featured in this video* has 64 GB ROM so it runs double as fast, has a 10.2-inch screen, and has a 1280x720 high resolution display.
Also, a good thing to mention is that the SYGAV also has better sound quality and adjustability. SYGAV has a Digital Sounds Processor with 15 bands EQ while the Dasaita only has a 9-band graphic equalizer.
Let me know if you have any other questions! :)
have you had any problems
When you order this from Amazon does It come with all the wires and harnesses
Yes comes with everything!
@@RevolveAuto thanks for the quick response. I’m on the fence of buying this. Does the Apple car play start up right away or is It the android screen? I also heard issues with the right blink turning the screen off when you use It
I bought this head unit a few hours ago but I have some questions before install it:
1- how to connect the factory usb down below?
2- i have the same LX head unit, so If I want to use my factory camera I have to plug in the yellow camera one? Not the camera vin?
3- and saw a couple reviews on Amazon and people talk that the radio doesn’t work for them, so you put a radio adapter on the back sit or just plug and it works well for you?
Thank you in advance and great video 👍
Did you ever figure out the USB? I have a factory usb port that i cant connect to the new unit.
just to confirm it has carplay? before and after clip shows it but you didnt talk about it.
Yes sorry. It does have CarPlay and Android Auto.
@@RevolveAuto Thanks for the quick response
I herd you cant reset the TPMS is that true?
Hmm. not sure. Mine was the LX so its all controlled manually with the buttons on the side of the instrument cluster
Hey! Does Apple Car Play automatically load up when you turn the vehicle on, or do you have to click it to load every time? Also, how fast does the system take to load? Thanks :)
Yes, it does if you have wifi and Bluetooth enabled on your phone. It probably takes like 15 seconds.
So you don’t need to have the phone plugged in through the usb or does it connect through Bluetooth the run the appleplay
@@mylifeaskyle9668 correct, you just need to connect thru Bluetooth, all wireless connection
Where did you end up placing the mic and where’d you hide the wire
Sorry didn't see this!
I ran it under the left side and stuck it under the steering wheel :)
Where’s the slot for the mic? I couldn’t find that
@@Maxjrhdz I had the same issue as you. No slot for mic definitely a little sketch. Let me know if you get an answer.
My radio stations only play static i have the 2020 honda civic sport did you have an issue with the radio stations not playing no reception just static or have you heard any solutions for that issue.
Can I download Netflix or RUclips on this?, or do I have to just mirror my phone to watch them?
I’ve noticed some have a problem where when they turn the blinker on the unit goes off did you have this problem?
Sorry for the late reply David!
If your car doesn't have a LaneWatch camera( right view camera), you can follow these steps to fix that issue :
Settings/Car/factory setting(password is 126)/canbus/right view(hide)
@@RevolveAuto rear view camera and steering wheel controls don’t work at all.
Does it bother the ac blowing at you? I been wanting to get one but i feel it covers a bit of ac
Doesn't bother me at all, it does block a tiny bit, but not a huge deal for me.
Can this unit be updated/upgraded to have wireless Android Auto?
It is wireless, yes!
Am I missing a cable to connect I get a message that says airbags have turned off
Hmm, that's strange. I would just double-check everything is plugged in correctly since it's all just plug and play.
If you still can't figure it out or it doesn't go away, I would email info@sygav.com, they should be able to help :)
I have one cable I don’t know what to connect to in the back there are 4 cables and I don’t know which one to connect the smallest one too it’s wrapped in foam.
@@anakarendorado2175 I didn't use half of the cables since there are some different ones for each trim of the Civic. What color is the cable?
how do you make it look like apple carplay? like the begging of the video?
Once you connect your phone via Bluetooth, it will connect on your HeadUnit with ZLink, which opens up Apple Carplay. Does it all automatically if you have Bluetooth connected :)
Good one 👏🏽🔥🔥
Will this work on a Honda civic 2020 sport? Is this a factory deck or after market? If after market this will ruin the factory bluetooth will it not?
Do you know how the hdmi output works? Got a iPhone to hdmi converter but don’t know what to install.
How much does the unit cost?
I just ordered this unit gonna install it on Sunday! Excited as hell lmao, but is the SD card slot on the back? Or in the front, I just want to make sure I'm able to put one in before I install it, also one last question, will I lose power to my existing 12 Amp charger down below and the USB slot?
Awesome! Not sure where the SD Slot is, but should be in the back somewhere. And USB slot still works for me :)
so I bought this for my 2021 honda civic lx and it's not powering on? any help would be appreciated.
Something must be unplugged, I would triple check your connections. It powers on automatically when you turn your car on.
If it still doesn't work, I would just get a replacement from SYGAV.
@@RevolveAuto ok ill check again thanks for the reply
Can't find the antenna module for the civic lx sedans..
Great video! I'm considering doing this. However, does this unit somehow integrate the USB port on a 2020 Civc LX for Android Auto connectivity?
Thanks Kenny. The Android Auto is fully wireless but you can also connect through your USB Port if you wanted to.
It says android but i have all apple products. Does that matter? Or should I get a different unit?
It’s an Android System but it has Apple CarPlay integrated so Apple products work perfectly
Does this block the vent any? If so does this company make one that’s a inch or two smaller?
It barely blocks the vents. Still feel AC fine 👍🏼
quick question, i plan to do this on a 2018 civic LX, and i am wondering if the oem backup camera plugs into this unit without any extra harnesses? direct plug n play?
where is the factory amp located ?
Just installed the head unit today. Apparently there’s steering wheel key code learn but when I go to learn the buttons it doesn’t show anything. Volume does work but the pick up call and hang up buttons don’t work. And the voice button is just “mute and unmute”. Any solution to this fix?
Update I fixed it on my own. But the only thing that doesn’t work still is the voice button like if I wanna press it to turn on siri on apple CarPlay
My guess is that I didn’t plug in that mic that you were talking about?
Hi Joseph! Glad you figured most of it out, and yes the last question, the Siri commands only work with the Mic plugged in, since the headunit doesn't have one built in.
How long did it take to get to arrive to your home?
It’s shipped through Amazon so took like 3 days if I remember correctly
Where did you get your steering wheel mod?
It seems that the screen is blocking the ac vents.🤔
It does a tiny bit, yes
I noticed that the new unit blocks more of the vents does that actually affect anything?
It blocks the airflow very slightly on the bottom, but hasn’t been an issue for me, can still feel the A/C fine 👍🏼
Does this unit support Sirius XM Radio?
yoo was this worth the purchase and did anything change after this?
Yes definitely! It works perfectly and I love the wireless Apple CarPlay 👍🏼
@@RevolveAuto how about the back up camera? any issues with that? I really am debating on getting this because this is awesome!
Is the USB adapter optional? Will the factory adapter work still?
My factory adapter still works, but I still used the extra USB just incase I need it :)
@@RevolveAuto how to you hook up the factory usb ports? also does the Original mic still work or do you need the one that comes with the unit
Does it have apple car play?
Yes
will this work with civic 2021 type r?
it should yes!
Does this keep the steering wheel factory buttons working?
Yes!
@@RevolveAuto i really glad you responded to this comment cuz i was worried it would make steering wheel controls inop
Any screen protectors available for this that you have found? I want to order this head unit but am hoping to find one for it!
I would just buy a 10 inch universal screen protector, and you should be good.
Here's one I found on ebay: ebay.to/3IMe1vm
@@RevolveAuto gotcha, I was trying to search but didn’t even think to search for a universal one. Also thank you for the quick reply 👍🏽
How many watts per speaker channel?
Does this for 2019 civic si?
What if the back up camera isn't working
You may have mixed up the yellow plugs. Since those cables automatically connect the dash-cam to the head unit
Will definitely double check but if that isn't it what should i do?
Hey I installed that same head unit but the back up camera is inverted anyone else have issues or solutions
Is this radio compatible with the back up camera that came with the car? I tried to change the radio from my car but the place I took it to said the camera wasn’t compatible to the radio so I would have to pay extra for a whole new system and camera as well as the radio.
It is compatible! You may have plugged in the wrong cable or missed one, I would double check your connections
Hey guys, will it works with Honda insight 2019 ? Because look really same
Not sure, I would contact SYGAV here: info@sygav.com
I installed this exact same head unit few months ago, there’s definitely a sound quality improvement but the sound system in this car can still kinda suck. Wondering if you plan to do anything about that or if you’re just content with it, maybe installing some new speakers? I’m considering it myself but I don’t know which direction to go with it. Would love to hear your opinions.
Nice! Yes definitely better sound quality. I looked into the speakers, but ultimately would be too time-consuming of a project for me.
hey does your reverse back up can come with good guidelines?
does your reverse cam show live guidelines with steering turning?
@@10lilzoe yes this headunit has back up guide lines that adjust as you turn your wheel, very useful.
Where you get the shift knob from?

Did sygav steal your video or did you allow them to use it?
They provided the head unit for me, so I gave them permission to showcase the video :)
Appreciate you looking out though!
@@RevolveAuto got it man! I was looking at this for my Si did have a question. I have Honda back on my current setup does this headunit provide any features that, HondaHack would feature? For example button remapping? And or oil temp gauges, Android apps?
My car doesn't have the yellow rca for back up camera , it does have backup camera. What to do
When using Apple Car Play, switching on right turn signal makes head unit go on standby mode and everything pauses with black screen. Why does it do that and how do we fix this issue?
I’ve had it for a while now and the only downside so far is the volume when you play music. When it starts up, it starts with a nice loud volume, but then feels like it lowers?.. is there anyway to fix that or would I need to look into new speakers?
That is strange.. mine hasn't done that
does this work for 2021 base model ?
Hey bro great video. I just installed this and the fm radio signal comes in really weak. Also the radio doesn’t connect to the Wi-Fi so it won’t open RUclips and the other apps on there. Do you know why it might be doing this?
hi i bought this and im currently installing it, everything is fine but the camera, when i switch the car into reverse i get a triangle with a black screen. my sygav unit also came with no cables labeled “cam-vin”
So that brown plug at 3:55 should have both yellow cables on it since that is what connects the rearview camera and side-view camera (if you have it). If you didn't get those cables make sure you message SYGAV, and they should send it out to you, since that should be in the kit.
Hi I have the same exact problem, I have the brown plug as well with the yellow vid plugs but it’s still not working they both say cam vin those are the ones I’m plugging in to each other and nothing
@@awsomedude3271 i forgot what i did exactly, but i kept playing around with all of the camera plugs and swapping them out each time it didnt work, also make sure you’re 100% sure you plugged everything else where it needed to go that was also part of the issue for the reverse camera
@@scottierbarnes I figured it out it was in the wrong plug even tho it fit in the middle it belongs in the left corner lol thanks
@@awsomedude3271How is it working now in winter, since the screen is a little over the AC vent ?
I installed it on my civic si coupe 2017 and my speakers don’t work at all
Do u know how to fix it thanks
did you fix it?
@@10lilzoe i bring it to the shop that they told me i need converter device because the premium sounds system have subs and different channels amp
Bought the converter is around $50 to $300 depend on what u need 👍👍

does it block a portion of the air vents? by the angle it does just wanted to confirm
Yes, a very small portion on the bottom, but you can still feel the air just fine :)
Does it really block the aircond vent sincr it is bigger?
It blocks the very bottom of the vent but isn’t that big of a deal. I was worried about the same thing but you can still feel the A/C fine :)
@@RevolveAuto niceeee.. is this 9 or 10 incher? and can you actually changed the Theme?
@@EriqHover 10 inch screen and yes theme is customizable!
@@RevolveAuto is your headunit came with two USB port? I just fit an android player on my civic but only one usb is working (the one under the console). The other one inside the armrest can no longer be used
@@EriqHover Yes, I believe mine came with 2, but I don't have an armrest USB so not sure about that one since I only used 1.
I would email info@sygav.com and they should be able to let you know :)
so for the 2021 cars that have the climate controls built in to the head unit, will they still work? and how would you control them? Also would the gage cluster still show song playing and have the ability to customize the gage cluster menus like on the stock 2021 civic headunit?
SYGAV says that all the original functions will work. So the guage cluster should still show the song playing, as well as show it on the screen :)
If you mean on the dash display then no. I now only have gas mileage tach and now a turbo icon but I don't have Turbo and I lost the maintenance display
hi, would it also be the same install for the 2018 Hatchback Sport Touring models?
I have 2017 honda civic touring with built in amplifier would this work ?
do you guys know if itll work for a 2019 honda civic si? i know the screen size is different and i wouldnt want it to not match
Yes it will work for any 2016-2021 Honda Civic (All Models)
@@RevolveAuto hi, would it also be the same install for the Hatchback Sport Touring models?
I need help my usb charger not working
Your stock usb plug doesn't no longer work after installing this. Don't worry it's the case with any of these android unit. I believe only metra has a solution for that I'm not too sure. Anyway there's 3 usb plugs in the back of the radio that people usually run into the glove box.
@@iiishception i have the same issue with my 2018 lx honda civic, my only Factory USB port no longer works. Is there any solution for this? Other than going back to my regular radio unit…? Ty in advance
Does it work with the factory amp and eleven speakers setup ?
Yes I believe so. Just a couple more cables you need to plug in for the touring models
I would message them directly with your model though to make sure, they reply pretty quick!
Does the climate control work?
yes!
Do you have links for the adaptors?
All the cables are provided for the install. I had a ton of extra adaptors since I didn’t need them.
