Easy Upgrade Fix for Broken Radio - 2004 Honda Accord - 10" Touchscreen!

- amzn.to/3V6nOT7 - (Link) Android Radio for 2003-2007 Honda Accord.
Problem Description: The original OEM radio stopped working in my 2004 Honda Accord. All of the lights and knobs worked, there is just no sound! Apparently, this is a very common problem due to failing solder joints on the old radio motherboard. Rather than mess around with trying to repair a 19-year-old radio, I opted to replace it with a 10-inch Android touchscreen.
I must admit, this thing is pretty awesome!
Bluetooth, Hands-Free Calling, AM/FM Radio, RUclips, Chrome, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, Google Play Store (basically install any Android App you want), plug for a back-up camera, AUX inputs for amp/subwoofer, can interface with OBD2 Bluetooth dongle for vehicle performance statistics, etc...
I've gotten some questions on the available connections. On the pigtail of wires coming out the back of the radio, there are a total of 10 wires:
8 RCA-type connectors labeled:
SUB WOOF
R OUT
L OUT
AUX R IN
AUX L IN
VIDEO-IN-1
VIDEO OUT
F-CAM
There is an 1/8" female connector labeled "MIC".
And a wire labeled "AMP CONT" with no connector.
UPDATE: The latest version of this radio now supports CarPlay and Android Auto!
2003 Honda Accord
2004 Honda Accord
2005 Honda Accord
2006 Honda Accord
2007 Honda Accord
I was worried because on the original Honda radio, the climate knobs are all integrated into the radio itself, so would I lose control of the fan speed, heat and AC?
But I didn’t have to worry, this unit has climate control fully integrated (physical knobs and buttons - which I like for quick access) underneath the touchscreen. You can control them through the knobs OR the climate screen interface on the touchscreen.
If you have a broken radio in your Accord, I recommend replacing it with one of these; it makes a 19-year-old car seem modern again.
The first Android radio I installed was from Ezonetronics:
amzn.to/3tXq1nx - Ezonetronics Android Radio (note - only works on dual-climate control vehicles)

This radio has 4GB of RAM, giving it a quicker, smother response.
Thanks for watching my video!
How dose that max AC button work on the new Raido you put in the old one has its own button for max AC. But the new android one you put in dose not have a Max AC button so how dose it work?
Hi, the max ac button on the original radio did 3 things: set fan speed to max, set temp to min, and turned on the recirculation. On the new radio, you have to set each of these individually to get the same thing, ie press the ac button (if not already on), press the recirculation button, rotate the temp knob to minimum, press the fan up button to max.
Do you have the heat button on the radio?
I have a 2004 honda accord lx with one single CD player. Will this play CDs?
Please let me know!
No, this new radio doesn't have a CD player. I does have heat buttons.
@@PracticalMechanic Thanks
Note for everyone, when removing the top part the soft touch material honda used on the upper dash is so soft that if you deform it you will never get it back to before. It's better to just pry from the bottom and not the sides at all. You can see he annihilated his dash.
Why am I watching this? I don't even own a car.
Hey man i watched this a year ago and now i have the same car 😂 dont lose hope
Same here 😂😂😂
Practical mechanic AND practical instructor. This is incredibly well edited and concise. In less than ten seconds you're on step one. Most importantly everything is well lit, wide field of view and narration is clearly articulated at a steady pace. This is how every instructional video should be, so many people get this wrong because they are self indulgent about being on camera. I do appreciate you've shown respect for the viewers time by keeping this under five minutes, it was as long as it should be. If I ever make instructional videos in the future, I'll be using this as a reference.
Thanks.
Wow, thank you, I really appreciate this comment!
@@PracticalMechanic update I used your video and I finally have an upgraded android AirPlay! Thank you so much for your video. My 2006 Honda now feels like a 2022 Honda! 😄💕
Awesome, Keiana! Thanks for the update!!!
Agreed! Terrific
Thank you, @theshield44!
All the best!
I randomly came across this video and have to say, this is a gem. Easy instructions and clear video. Amazing job and amazing result. Good stuff. Keep it up 👍🏼
Same!
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate it!
When you say ash tray, dont you mean pry up the "not an ashtray" lol
Lol...
How about the “ change receptical”
Wooow 🤣🤣
I was saying the same thing lmao. Mine says not an ash tray lol😂
Perfect job. As long as for car manufacturers putting anything additional like GPS or better radio is a big trouble or big money for customer we need videos like yours to make our cars meet today's expectations. 🙂
I totally agree. Glad it was helpful!
What an amazing upgrade! Makes the car seem so much more modern.
Yeah absolutely!
I watched so many videos, then found this one, awesome, thanks for the clear instructions and good video.
Thank you, Steve. Much appreciated, and glad you found it helpful!
Note: I have the kind w/heated seats. I had to take the gear shift cover off first, before the Not An Ashtray. The little black border cover didn't come up by itself---the entire unit came out, & I had to disconnect the snap-in plugs for the seat heaters, & then continue. Thanks so much for the video!
Good to know, thanks for the info
How did you get the a/c to work I have the upgraded model accord and have two extra harness connections and no a/c
Check your AC relay. It might have blown out when the radio was changed. Here's how:
ruclips.net/video/86mOHxHwGiQ/видео.html
Let us know if this fixes the problem, thanks.
Same radio I have! I can't wait to replace my radio. My backlight doesn't work either.. radio comes on and off as it should. First, it started off with no backlight and now there is no sound. So at this point, it's been 7 months since I had my 2006 Honda Accord and I'm upgrading the head unit to an Apple Airplay. Thank you for your video! I am gonna use this video to set up my new radio! :D
Thank you soo much for the video it literally changed my life I can finally enjoy listening to the radio and more my old radio was broken for soo long and now with this video I was able to install a new radio my self and it makes driving so much more joyful thank you so much again keep up the great work
@FelixGrin, thanks for the feedback! Glad you have an improved radio situation! All the best!
I need to do this as I have the same issue
Absolutely outstanding video in every way. Other youtubers could learn a lot in seeing your camera work and editing (and no annoying music.)
I have a 2004 Accord LX and I and I plan to drive it forever (250K right now.) So, I hope you hold onto yours, too.
Thanks for the feedback, @nosac1230! I have no plans to part with my Accord, either!
@@PracticalMechanic Great!
I almost lost hope until the last time you mentioned the "not an astray".
Great video though. Straight to the point and easy to follow.
Thanks! 😂
Nice Job👍 you produced a great consice and clear instructional video! You earned my sub on this👍 Only thing I might have added is an explanation that the additional amp and speaker wiring harness that you attached would not be used by you as you did not have any amp or speaker accessories in your car that could utilize that additional accessory wiring harness.
Thanks Sean,
Much appreciated, and you are exactly correct, I attached the accessory cable 'just in case' I have need of it for future use, but I'm not using it now.
All the best!
Great video! Super straightforward and to the point
Thanks, @Blurrble!
Definitely saving this video for when I buy this. I was having a hard time finding a unit like this that would fit in my accord. Thank you for sharing this.
No problem, Josh. Good luck!
Same accord, hope we share experiences, problems and solutions. Thanks
@@najaja94 did everything go good?
@@PracticalMechanic how did you last after this time? I am thinking of buying one but afraid its of poor quality. thanks
Made the change so much easier. Thank you. I was only worried about breaking something when I pried my vent cover up.
Glad it helped!
@PracticalMechanic do you know if the speaker balance settings can be adjusted? They sound muffled now that I've installed it.
Thank you so much for this video. Followed every step and my 2007 Accord looks way better
You're very welcome, enjoy the new look! 👍
That actually looks good! Those climate controls almost look like they could be factory if you didn’t already know better.
Yeah, it does look pretty good! The plastic is not as thick as the original radio, but considering that, I would say this is still a worthwhile upgrade. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for this video. My radio still works but being able to upgrade it for a few hundred bucks is fantastic especially since it's not a traditional shape.
I couldn't agree more, brings a whole new life to the car! Thanks for sharing!
@@PracticalMechanic never mind, fixed my AC by bypassing the green harness they sent and plugged the original wires directly into the new unit.
BTW, you forgot to put the two screws back into the cubby before reattaching the lighter and "not an ashtray" box.
Great video. Thank you. You made the installation so much easier.
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback! 👍
Very nice tutorial. The problem may be with me. Every time I try to do such "easy" upgrades everything goes fine in the first part (removing the old stuff) but issues starts when I look underneath the surface and realize that everything IN MY CAR is completely different from the car used in the tutorial. Whenever it happens I just put everything back and forget about. LoL. Anyway, I love watching those videos but there is a long time that I gave up putting my hands on and do such modifications. I gave it a big like though!
@Motocicleiros, so funny! And good point! With older cars like I drive, sometimes a previous owner has introduced a 'modification!'
Thanks for the like, and all the best to you!
Take pictures as you take things apart, look in reverse order to have a picture tutorial!
If your car is not even within the same year range as the car in the video then you shouldn't be doing. The tutorial is the usual way it goes. For the most part this tutorial is accurate and good for all models 2002 to 2007 however, I have a 2006 model which does have the heated seats and like someone previously commented, you do need to remove the gear shift panel first before you can access the "Not an ashtray"
I don't even have a Honda Accord and I watched this. Nice video!
😂 that's great
Excellent video! Quick and very informative! 👍👍👍 might try this on my 06 Coupe V6
Go for it! 👍
Bless you, didn’t get the rear camera or distance warning working. Didn’t even try honestly just as long as I could connect my phone and actually play music that’s all I cared about. Thanks 🙏
You're welcome! Glad it worked out! And thanks for the feedback 👍
So you’re rear parking sensors don’t work?
Gotta appreciate this video man!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! I recently bought an after market Android head unit this video has been really helpful
Excellent! Glad to hear that!
Deserves a sub👍very clear instructions on this. I just got my first car and it’s the same exact one in this video.
Awesome, thank you!
Straight to the point thank you God for this man
Haven't thought of doing this to my car until I found your video. Autosubscribe!
Thanks for the sub!
Great breakdown!
Wow great video with step by step instructions.
Thank you, @Arnie! I appreciate the feedback!
Made it look so easy, I'm about to buy this for myself and try it too
Did you do it yet?
@@tyler238 I did, yesterday I installed it. So far so good bro
@@edgarluna2327 nice.. I’m going to order one today.. how’s the sound quality
@@tyler238 that depends on your car's sound system. I have the original speakers that the vehicle came with, so it's not as loud. But I'm okay with that because I'm not a person who likes to blast their music while driving. I like something moderate but not too noisy. You can also adjust the equalizer on the screen
@@edgarluna2327 gotchya.. thx for the reply bro
There are sooo many of these screens on the market now, with different names, but all of them look exactly the same. I'm not sure which one to buy, cause I heard lots, and I mean LOTS of them, stop working after a few monthes, glitches all over, etc. I'm from Spain, Accord 2.4 vtec 2003. Anyways, this is a veeery good video. Thanks
Thanks Francisco! I've only had this installed for 3 months, but working great so far, including being exposed to multiple nightss with the temperature dipping below -20F!
Xtrons is the best option.
XTrons is this one:
amzn.to/3M9iryH
The hardware looks identical. The software running on it appears to be different.
Amazingly well done. Thank you!
Thanks! 👍
You can also run the usb ports to the arm rest storage, not hard to do. They make usb adapters that you can replace the existing 12v, but I chose to just drill a new hole on my 03 accord.
Brilliant! Great idea, thanks for sharing that! I may try it 👍
I’ve had the same one for a good minute now maybe about a year and a half, it’s great don’t get me wrong definitely worth it and I LOVE it. But the only things wrong that I’ve experienced are pretty damn annoying, the A/C glitches on mine. It’ll glitch on and off and it’ll change the settings on its own. Then, sometimes the Bluetooth connects but doesn’t want to play the music. Lastly, it loads pretty damn slow😂small little annoying things but overall I’d still buy it again.
Love it! Thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
Thank you for the information!
You're welcome, glad it was helpful!
I would 100% put one of these in my car IF it had a fan speed dial and a temp dial instead of two dials. I love the ease of not having to look for a button to adjust fan speed while driving. plus these radios that they just change to face on to fit other cars tend to be low power output for the speakers lol.
I don't have a car, nor the radio, nor the experience, but this was fun to watch.
Thank you, extraordinary person!
Only one thing left to do 😎
To get that top cover off, you depress the Hazzard Switch which reveals a slot for a small screwdriver. You press that center clip down while you pull each side back by the inside edge of the vent. You chewed-up your dash not knowing how to get it off.
Where is that at?
When doing this you should replace the factory amp, the caps go bad in them very often and you'll get low/no volume. It's a very common issue with that generation of accord.
Are you sure any of the 7th gens even had a factory external amp? I'm pretty sure it's all in the head unit.
Very useful video!
Thank you, Brother!
Good Luck 👍🍀
Thank you! Much appreciated!
YOU ARE SO REAL I LOVE YOU
I’ve had my 7th Gen Honda Accord same upgrade and it only cost me 200$ CAD including 10” Same Android deck with a install. Honestly the only reason I sold my car in 2020 because I had no room to park it.
It was wonderful car so was that Android deck!
@Yuri, Couldn't agree more! 7th gen Accord is an excellent vehicle!
Great vid! I’m trying to take out the screws under the radio but it seems i need to take out the storage cubby. How did you take it out?
Thank you so much. Excellent content.
Do you have any video on how to install remote starter?
@ImteazOsmani, thanks for the kind words! I don't have a video on remote starter install, but would be nice if I can do that in the future, please subscribe!
Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome, the difference between a used car and newer models is the stereo "entertainment center"
Yes, that is true! A new entertainment center can take 10 yrs off you car!
I appreciate the comment, and please subscribe!
Amazing video
Glad you think so!
No way it's that easy,Awesome
Thank you!
Great video with detailed explanation. Please Can this Android radio work for Honda Accord 2003 model?
Hi. Yes, it applies for 2003-2007 Honda Accord.
How is the dual climate control working so far? My car is like yours with mono controls to begin with. Does it work as intended or is there an issue?
you’re a big help thank you
You're welcome, I appreciate the feedback! All the best,
Should you/we check the unit working or not before finalizing the installation? Thanks for this awesome work.
Yeah, that would probably be a good idea. Thanks for watching!
"Pull up the ash tray" enter Big letters saying "not an ashtray" Good video!
Haha! Thanks!
@@PracticalMechanic Which system is this exactly? I'm looking into getting the Xtrons 4gb 8-core version which seems to be the best performance one of the prebuilts.
This one is "ezonetronics" I got it from Amazon here:
amzn.to/3sdvuG9
Cool stuff 🙂
Thanks a lot!
Nice walkthrough. Anyone else have the experience of installing this unit and then it suddenly stops working ? That’s what happened to me. Had it for a year and a half
I installed a similar unit into my 09 accord, everything works with the touchscreen, as well as my amp and sub. My only issue is my climate control lights and clock stopped working. I also installed a pioneer cd player, just because the Chinese touchscreen does not sound good w my sub. Not sure how to get my lights back, all fuses are good
awesome instructional video
Thank you. @yoshii! 👍
Thanks you sir amazing and very practice video I love mi Honda acord 2003
You are welcome, best of luck to you! 👍
Great tutorial! Very helpful!
I heard these Amazon radios will start having problems with Bluetooth and the AC after a month or two. How did yours go?
I want to get one for my 03 accord, but I don't want to waste my time and money
Installed the exact radio into my 2006 accord euro, everything worked great. The only problem is, I've lost my steering wheel controls
Oh no! On mine, there is an app called "SW Learn." (Steering Wheel Learn) Using that app you can program which of your steering wheel buttons does what. My car doesn't have audio buttons on the steering wheel, so I haven't been able to try it personally. If you have that app (or one like it), try that. Good luck! 👍
Thanks for the great instructional video. Do you know if there’s an Apple CarPlay version of this radio?
Hi, thanks for the feedback!
To install Apple CarPlay, you need to connect this radio to a separate dongle, such as this one:
amzn.to/3CpcRn4
@ERM2K8 UPDATE: The latest version of the radio includes CarPlay without the need for a separate dongle. Check out the description for a link.
Great Video! My only problem is my ac wasn’t working even after I plugged it all in, any ideas as to why its not working?
T'eyes makes a head unit like this one with 6GB of RAM (with either 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of ROM) and some pretty cool features. It is pricey, so depending on your budget you may just wanna go with this one, or even an Xtrons unit which also seems pretty good.
ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT. If your Accord comes with the large GPS navigation screen unit, or is a diesel model, I don't think these aftermarket units are compatible. Just be safe and look in the product description or contact the seller if you're unsure.
Thanks for the tips, @TakeNoShift!
Did you tried the backup camera ? We have 4 wires for Camera plug one is labeled as brake, camera and other 2 doesn’t any labels. What is the wire should use for backup camera trigger
Hi Manoj, I didn't try setting up a backup camera yet, maybe for a future project...
I like how it goes from manual air conditioning to automatic climate control with the new radio.
They have auto on the stock unit. It's the left most button
How do you get the ac to work? Seem like mind don't blow cold anymore after the instal
@@Jay_Hova420 i have the same problem, my ac is not working but air is still coming out.
@@pokersandwich I had to change a relay under the hood in the fuse box.. the ac started blowing cold air instantly..
@@Jay_Hova420 can you get the blower speed and temperature control too?
Hi, my Honda Accord 2006 just recently went out on me and I want to upgrade to a radio like this!! I was wondering how is your radio doing now? It's almost been a 6 months :D I love how the video works too!
Thank you! Radio is still working.
@@PracticalMechanic does it work fine with a apple iphone
I haven't tried it with an iphone. Other users have reported that it works with iPhone, similar to connecting to any other Bluetooth device. That being said, if you want Apple Carplay, you need to buy an additional carplay adapter (dongle) that connects to this radio, for example:
amzn.to/3CpcRn4
I have an 03 accord coupe LX. My first single zone android blew out my airmix motor twice. Last year I decided to buy another single zone brand. This one has some electric issue with my rear defroster, where the rear defroster remains on even when its off, AND the relay fuse under the hood keeps clicking. When I swap back the oem, everything is OK. I have lost hope in finding a unit that works for the Accord coupe. Maybe I'll try buying the one you got. Smh. Thanks for the video!!
JB, thanks for the feedback, that's a good data point. If you go ahead and end up installing this one please report back!
@@PracticalMechanic will do. I reached out to the reseller that sold me the current unit. They have a two year warranty. Not sure how it will go, since the seller is in China. Fingers crossed for now.
Good luck, for it works out!
Some people have had success changing the CANbus settings to select which model of Honda Accord they have. This helps if there are a/c, defrost, or dual climate control issues. Here are instructions for getting to the advanced settings and the password:
ruclips.net/video/a_RYZagnNxE/видео.html
Hope it helps!
How can I do the configuration of the honda accord air conditioning
Love the video. The product would be much better with a volume knob
The first I installed on 2003 accord sedan dual climate control work like a champ, but a couple days ago I got another for a 2005 accord coupe single climate control and the air mode function look work fine on display, but the air never came out from the correct direction
Could try changing the CANBUS setting. It needs to be set to the correct model of car.
@@PracticalMechanic thanks
This aftermarket radio is good for dual AC car models. I have installed on my accord with single AC and it always trouble in using AC. Never gets cooling as factory unit does.
I would contact support@ezonetronics.com
They will send you whatever you need to get it working.
though hard to repllace but explained perfectly. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Bharat!
@@PracticalMechanic ya I have that 2004 honda accord without usb or bt connectivity 🤣
Yeah, nice to update! 😂
Great video, one question, maybe I missed the question or answer. Do the buttons have light to indicate it was pressed?
Good question. The bottom row of buttons have a light on the button itself that illuminates when it is on. The top row of buttons, when pressed, something comes up on the screen indicating what you did (e.g. AC On/AC Off). Hope it helps.
Thank you!
You're welcome, I hope it helps!
wow, my radio went on my 2004 honda accord about 5 years ago, only the clock works.... i ended up taking it to best buy to get a new radio, only they left the existing radio and installed the new radio below the old one...
Yes, that is another option.
Instead of doing the usb through the glove box I found that the cubby below the stereo has two (I’m assuming weeping wells in case you spill a liquid in there) that the USB cables fit perfectly through
Nice, good suggestion
Hello, this is a silly question but I have a Honda accord 2005 model and I was wondering if this would work for my car as well. The layout looks exactly the same as yours but has some slight differences.
Another question I have was how are you travelling with the device now, does it keep its quality up?
It should work for 2003-2007 Honda Accords. Diesel cars, and cars with original navigation systems, it won't fit. Mine is still working great! Good luck!
Can you play music through the bluetooth functionality? I have read that some replacements only allow for bluetooth calling
Yes. There is an app on the radio called "BT Music." When your phone is connected to the radio through Bluetooth, you can control it through the app on the radio. It has very basic functionality, like play, pause, skip...
There are multiple links for different radios and mfrs. Which is the latest Android version that will fit 06 Accord VP with single zone AC? I just want to plug and play and roll. I don’t have volume controls on steering wheel. Great video by the way!
Thanks! I would recommend this one:
amzn.to/3V6nOT7
The backup camera that goes with this unit is:
amzn.to/3U2lZqU
Good luck!
I noticed this car only has single A/C control, but the stereo you installed has dual controls. In the description on amazon it says it will only work for dual control. Am I missing something here or will it work for both?
It will work for both. If you have single climate control like mine, then you attach the y-connector cable that comes with the kit. If you have dual climate control in your vehicle, then you don't need to bother with connecting the y-connector. The instructions that come with the radio have a little picture diagram that explains when you should or shouldn't use the y-connector and how. Good luck!
I have the normal working radio where it shuts off the minute you drive and does all kinds of things. I really appreciate this since I need to buy a new one and had no clue how or what to get.
Sounds a bit similar to what my original radio was doing, as well! Glad you found this video, and hope you get it figured out! Good luck! 👍
Thank you for this video! The AC switch on my old radio broke keeping AC constantly on, so I took out the fuse as I don't need AC. Then the radio and CD player broke, so I bought the lower dash metra kit to add a single din radio. Now the battery will get drained if I don't drive the car for a week, and my internet research showed that it is still the old radio killing the battery. I guess an upgrade like this would solve that problem. Have you had a problem with the screen reflecting sunlight in your eyes if ie. you are driving east in the afternoon or evening? Another issue I can anticipate is screen's blue light and brightness when driving during the night, is there a possibility to switch it off while still having music or radio on, or to turn everything on the screen to red (ie. like with a f.lux app - like setting)? Sorry but I am a virgo, picky and can't help it. Appreciate your feedback very much!
Hi Neki,
Thanks!
I haven't had issues with reflecting sunlight, as the screen is flat, so the angle of the sun would have to be very specific. I suppose it is possible. I just haven't had that issue.
The screen brightness can be adjusted, but even on low can be bright at night. You can turn the screen off completely (the option shows up as one of the apps) and leave the radio or other music playing, just touch the screen to turn it back on.
@@PracticalMechanic Thank you very much for your reply!
I ordered the radio, installed it easily, and it seems to be working fine. It fixed the AC switch problem, and I have some 200ish CDs in MP3 on it easily accessible, a great upgrade! However my battery drain problem is still not fixed, and it seems to be more complex. When doing the parasitic battery drain test, the level on the meter constantly goes up and down between 160mA and 70mA. I had the new radio disconnected, and it wasn't the problem. Took fuses out one by one, and nothing. I will have to check the grounds and see if that helps it.
So the radio is working well, just my car is giving me a headache...
Thanks again for your reply, and I really like this new radio!
@Neki Tamo, thanks for the follow-up! It is great to hear the radio is working well!
Bummer on the parasitic battery drain. I'm glad to hear it is unrelated to the radio. I hope you are able to figure out out!
@@johannuscro its either your grounds or your alt is pullin power even while your running
@@johannuscro @Neki Tamo I just want to confirm here that replacing the factory radio fixed your ac/heat being stuck on problem? I just bought an 7th gen accord and I am having the same issue with it. Also did your air conditioning actually work while it was stuck on it did it just blow room temperature air around the cabin. Pls let me know, thanks!
Have you had any issues since installing it? Also did you lose sound quality because other people have said with their aftermarket units their sound wasn't as loud. Does the Google maps work?Thanks
It has only been 2 months since I put it in, but it is still working great!
I mainly use Amazon Music App (mostly because I have a subscription), then download songs using home wifi or my phone's hotspot.
I also connected a thumb drive to one of the external input ports with a bunch of music on it, that works well, too.
I haven't noticed any difference in the sound quality. The reason I replaced the stock radio was because it had stopped putting out sound.
Google maps works fine, but you have to "download offline maps" beforehand while on wifi (or just use your phone's hotspot), otherwise it shows you driving around in a large gray area...!
@@PracticalMechanic Any issues with the AC/Heat system?
Hi Sunny,
I don't have any issues with the a/c climate control, works fine
If you do have issues, iit typically means that you need to change the CANbus setting of the radio to match which car you have. It is pretty straightforward. Check out my other video about CANBUS settings if you are having issues with the a/c.
Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for tuning in!
How much will it cost for installation if I bring to the shop ?
Hi I have Honda Accord LX 2004, single climate control unit. I have tried two units, one from awesafe which gave no sound, second one from Junsun in which fan/ac worked for a day and then it wouldn't work (radio worked). Is it my luck or these units are hit or a miss, or do you recommend any.
what about the steering wheel controls. Do they all still work with the android? for example Voice commands, different functions. Changing radio gps usb and bluetooth? or are all the controls on the steeringwheel no longer useable?
Hi @StevenDaniels, the Android radio has a function (called SW Learning) in the settings to learn and map the steering wheel buttons.
You press the steering wheel button, then select which function you would like that to be.
My Accord does not have steering wheel buttons (other than cruise), so I cannot use this feature, unfortunately, so I cannot tell you how well it works from personal experience, but I have heard of other people using it successfully. I don't know about voice commands...
By the way, it sounds like your Accord might already has navigation. If that is the case, this radio will still work for you, however it does not fit perfectly in the opening, so you will have a small gap at the top. Just want to make you aware of that in case you have an Accord with factory navigation.
All the best!
Noticed on Amazon reviews some people said they were having issues with the ac controls not working
Also some people said after a short period of time the unit died. Any longer term users?
Great video I didnt need sub titles!
Glad you liked it!
hey quick question - when installing the new radio, are you still able to use the steering controls / buttons?
Yes! There are instructions included for mapping each button on the steering wheel to it's function on the radio. In fact, you can map the buttons to any available function.
Thanks 😊
You're welcome, glad to help!
So I notice 1 thing. The current OEM unit in thr Accord is not a dual zone.
The new Android unit is a dual zone.
From what I have researched. Some units will not work withthe AC. You will need to check the Honda Accord forums to see if you can change some options on the unit.
Hi Reza,
You're right. I bought my radio before the change, so it worked for a single zone. The good news is that the current version of this radio works with both single and dual zone:

If you have a single zone climate control vehicle, and the AC is not working, contact:
support@ezonetronics.com
And they will send you an updated board to make it work!
Love how the ashtray is labelled, "Not an ashtray." xD
Does the ac and all that still function properly? Dumb question, but I wanted to be sure. Some of the other types of displays have the buttons, but they don't function.
Hi Elliott, on mine the ac works great.
Hi I have the same operating system as yours everything is working fine with my unit but one problem I have the window defrosting doesn't work. On the weekend I put the factory unit back just to test and the window defrost worked worked perfectly. But when I installed the Android unit the window defrost doesn't work. So can you please help if there any way to get this issue fixed.
