Overview

An unboxing and install of the iDoing 11.5" unit with the optional 360-camera kit (front, side-mirror and rear cameras for a bird's-eye view). The CAN bus box keeps steering-wheel controls and car systems working without splicing. The tricky parts were audio routing through the USB audio decoder, the reverse camera not triggering, and the next/previous buttons being swapped.

Tools & parts

Tools

  • 13mm socket (12mm for John's aftermarket shift knob nut)
  • Plastic trim tool (optional, hands work for most clips)
  • Phillips screwdriver

Parts

  • iDoing head unit + main harness/splitter
  • CAN bus box
  • USB audio decoder
  • Antennas (cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), mic, extra USB
  • Optional 360 camera kit (front, mirrors, rear) with housings, grommets and drill bit

Step by step

  1. 1

    Remove the shift knob and collar▶ 6:01

    Rotate the collar clockwise while pushing down until it drops. Then loosen the nut under the knob and lift the whole assembly out.

  2. 2

    Pull the shifter trim▶ 6:59

    Pull it toward the rear of the car. You may need to rotate it past a notch. Unclip the harness retainer and unplug the connectors.

  3. 3

    Remove the lower screws▶ 8:05

    There are screws down low, one in the cubby, and two more revealed after removing the plastic tray.

  4. 4

    Pry off the center panel▶ 9:14

    Keep the door open and work your way around the clips. Unplug the hazard and climate buttons.

  5. 5

    Remove the screen screws▶ 9:49

    Two Phillips screws up top and two more (one black) below. Then the old unit comes out and you can test-fit.

  6. 6

    Plug in the main harness▶ 10:42

    The main harness goes through a splitter: OEM cable into the splitter, splitter into the new unit. It handles power, audio and everything else.

  7. 7

    Route audio through the USB decoder▶ 11:13

    Audio comes through the USB data port into the little USB audio decoder, then a coaxial cable to the SPDIF port on the head unit. John's DIP switches: 1 and 2 up, 3 and 4 down, which forces USB mode.

  8. 8

    Fix the reverse camera trigger▶ 12:18

    His reverse camera didn't trigger. The fix was running a long green wire from the mirror tap.

  9. 9

    Swap next/previous if needed▶ 13:14

    His track buttons were reversed. Fix: Protocol settings → up/down song swapping.

  10. 10

    Camera settings▶ 13:36

    In vehicle settings choose camera original or aftermarket 360. John's worked on aftermarket 360.

0:14What's up guys it's your boy John we are back again here with another video today

0:26We're gonna do something super cool if you have an Acura Integra Honda Civic included

0:32Or even the CR-V., we're gonna have a head unit change so you can kind of see

0:38With

0:44One with the 7-inch and then there's a 9-inch which is that what I have the 9-inch is a little

0:48A little bit more difficult, but if you have the 7-inch all you have to do is unplug the top and it's really easy and install

0:54So that's good here for those who have the base model or the the non-light bows or

1:023d at EOS system

1:04Let me show you the package itself

1:07So we have the eye-doing box right here. Eye-doing is one of my favorite brands

1:11So I always grab it towards them

1:14they have a

1:16Printed copy of how to install and what each thing does so you'll you'll have an external speaker which is kind of

1:23different, power cables us extra usb and

1:29Even video setups and when I say video setups, what does that actually entail? Let me tell you you get I

1:39Want 360 cameras on this

1:43So you get

1:45360 cameras, so the rear camera the I'm gonna be can install mirrors on

1:51Cameras on the side mirrors and the front bumper and you can actually get a bird's eye view of your car

1:58So that's super sick

2:01stock, there's only that rear camera. So if you have

2:04nice wheels

2:07Or you just don't want to curb your wheels you want to check that out that way

2:11You don't bust your front lip

2:14And you don't curb your wheels just helps out every kind of driver assistance is good

2:20So I can show you guys how the cameras kind of look

2:26Alright, so the cameras look similar just like this and

2:30There's different housings depending on

2:33What you get so this is like an extra accessories if you guys are interested

2:38You got the ones kind of clearly for the side mirrors and then you have a front cam and a reverse cam right there

2:47You even get the tools for the housing so you can see there's like rubber garments and

2:54It's just really well thought out. You even get the drill bit to drill

3:00Of course the wiring, you want to snake it through the the door

3:03the the the the front bumper

3:05So there's that

3:07Now what else comes inside the box if you have us so you once you get one, what a system like this you will get extra usb

3:16That's super cool. These are antennas if you plan on having cellular

3:22Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

3:25And then this is kind of like what I like about I doing is they come with all this can bus

3:33Information so your sterile controls and all your systems will still work

3:39Because well this thing kind of translates everything so it works with your car and you don't have to like

3:45splice into anything

3:48It's literally a plug-and-play setup, so I like that and then this is just saying

3:58Look car you want inter-oem system switch the audio source to aux usb coax options

4:08Here is some extra cables and microphones and

4:13the main piece

4:16Which is gonna be

4:18Definitely the upgrade piece. You'll see

4:21You know fit and finish it's always really nice on a piece like this because the plastics are high quality

4:28the finish

4:29it's just

4:31really nice and

4:33Also the display hello, but the display is gonna be a, way higher resolution than the oem head unit

4:42You can kind of see

4:44What's in the back and this is more of?

4:50Look at that. I like it. I like it a lot

4:55So hopefully the install is pretty simple, but yeah, that's the first look at the I doing head unit for the

5:03Integra and the civics. I love the physical keys these aren't not physical and

5:11Integrate really nicely

5:16Alright, so this is the interior. There's gonna be a lot of things you need to remove

5:20You got to remove this

5:22this this

5:25This top part this is held by clips and

5:29For the main area the center console remove

5:32I'll cut to a clip where I show a detail of

5:35me remove everything because

5:38The head unit is actually right here. This is just a display

5:44So you need to get all the way down there

5:47To get extract all the good information

5:50so you're gonna have to

5:53pop this out and

5:55It's a lot of work. So

5:58When you cut to a clipper or you remove the whole thing

6:01Alright so to remove this dash

6:03It's pretty easy first you want to pop this little collar down on the OEM one

6:09You want to rotate it? I would say clockwise and then kind of like this

6:13So you were rotating clockwise while pushing down and you'll still you'll still a little notch where you can actually push it

6:20down the way

6:21Then there's gonna be a little nut here

6:23This is how the nut looks like because this is an aftermarket one

6:26This is a 13mm. You kind of want to put it on it right here

6:31Kind of like this

6:34This is my 12 because it's an aftermarket and you just want to

6:38Lefty loosey it

6:41upside down, so I guess righty tighty and then you're basically applying force here

6:45And this whole thing just comes out

6:49Now because we're gonna be putting this somewhere safe and put it on your seat

6:54So you don't want to put on your cup holders. We're removing the whole bad boy. Anyways

6:59Now for this piece right here. It's also pretty easy as well

7:04What you got to do is you just pull towards you towards the back of the rear

7:09So you just pull it and the whole thing comes out

7:13Of course, it's not gonna be that easy, but I already pulled it and all the tabs are facing backwards

7:20There is this little notch right here, so when you pull you might have to kind of rotate it like this

7:27I think pull upwards. Let's see if the tabs out

7:31great now for this I use just use my hand, but you can use a

7:35You can use a plastic trim remover if you need to have a little thes little bit more leverage and

7:41What I do is I just pull

7:43Pull it up and there's gonna be a retaining harness for like a clip for the harness

7:53And you can also unplug these bad boys as well

8:02That's one way to remove it

8:05All right, then

8:08There's gonna be some screws down here that you can pull out and also there's gonna be a screw in the cubby hole right here

8:16So we removed that little plastic tray on the bottom. Oh, it's actually pretty tight

8:27Little there you go, and then you also have both because it has this part kind of sunk in

8:34And it's just gonna reveal two more screws. You can pop that bad boy out right there

9:08So after you remove that one screw and then you popped it up and pulled it pulled it out

9:14Alright, so after you remove this main area to take this part off

9:19It's actually very easy just held by clips. I recommend keeping that door open

9:24but you pretty much just work your way in and

9:28You just pry so I started right here

9:31pry pry and then I use my fingers to do the rest now, of course, there are some buttons

9:38Like the hazard buttons and the climate control make sure you unplug those and then you'll have all

9:44All the room you need to do the wiring oh

9:49Forgot so you remove the two screws up top. They're held by Phillips and

9:54Also, there are another two screw right here after you do that. So you see the two are here with the black

10:01One two, it's allowed focus, but

10:06That little black screw right there after you do that

10:10This will be able to come out and then we can test fit our new one. What's up guys?

10:23It's your boy John. We are back again in here with another video

10:27Now I just want to talk about wiring in the installation. So I

10:32Do have it kind of like a full install video. I was gonna do but maybe I won't so

10:38Here's a video of the most technical part that I had a troubleshoot

10:42Now when it came to the wiring it was simple enough. You need this YL

10:480 0 2 3 at B or 8 this one right here. This is the main harness. This pretty much

10:56Everything so you put the OEM unit you get the

11:02splitter you plug in the OEM

11:05Regular cable into the splitter and this goes into the new Andrew head unit and it pretty much powers

11:12audios

11:13Everything when it comes to when you do the audio comes through this USB right here

11:18So you'll have a USB. This is your data port and then you'll have that port

11:25Basically into this little can bus

11:28Not can bus. It's a USB audio decoder thing

11:32so my settings are

11:35One and two are up three and four are down and that forces us particular mode

11:40You can see right here. So that makes it so when you're in USB mode

11:46right here

11:47it plays audio and so

11:51it uses the

11:53OG us so if you look that here, so if you look at that you see that your little USB right there

11:59I'm using that port and I'm kicking the

12:03USB data signal

12:05Into a little coaxial that co-axial goes up and it goes to the top of the head unit and it plays it through that

12:12SBDIF port

12:15So that's the audio. So you got power audio

12:18And then the only thing I issue was that reverse camera not triggering

12:23So now it nulls which is good and that's using the mirror tap

12:28So you got to get a really long wire get that green wire and kind of snake it over

12:34But uh, that looks like a rat's nest right now, but with those

12:40Ingredients installed besides like removing the panels and stuff that stuff is like these those panels just held by clips

12:47You just pull this one

12:49The OEM head unit has two screws on top yet to pull this panel off. This is just clips two bolts here

12:57Remove this thing two boats here, and then it's just a matter of just fishing

13:03Yeah, this as a pioneer of this it's very I just had to kind of figure this out as far as your

13:11I had one more other thing that I had to do

13:14Of course, I changed it to Fahrenheit and there's a lot of settings

13:18But my previous and next buttons were swapped

13:21If you go to the protocol settings and you go to up and down song swapping

13:26That's what you need to get it. So next is like right is next left is

13:33Previous that's something I had to do as well

13:36As far as my other settings to get the camera is working on this to be could be different if you're, not going for the 360 camera

13:42But in vehicles settings you can have camera original or have it to the X after market 360

13:50I'm just gonna leave like that because everything but it worked on after market 360 to so those are my settings for that

13:58But yeah, thank you guys for watching

14:00I'm pretty much leave comments below if you guys had issues with your install or you need additional help and I'll be able to help you
