Dasaita Max6 PX6 CarPlay Stereo: Honda Civic 2006–2011 Full Install (Base Model)

0:00What do you think of the packaging?

0:02It looks pretty clean.

0:04The girls with the nails done

0:30Alright, so we have the side of head unit for the 8th generation Civics

0:37This also works for the Acura and stuff like that

0:41The Honda CX

0:42So why don't you go open it and tell me how you feel

0:45What do you think of the packaging?

0:47It looks pretty clean

0:50Not too hard to open

0:53Everything seems to be out of the night

0:58Look at all the foam. They give you a lot of foam.

1:13Oh, you can just put everything just upside down.

1:20Oh, take it out of the bag. You won't see it.

1:28so they have a little screen protector on it so like what are these buttons AC and

1:32yeah AC and the volume okay so that's cool what this is volume right here I

1:39think this is the power oh no no the emergency light oh oh the the hazard button yeah

1:44and then this is the volume and this is the AC oh I want to see how that works

1:51Okay, so.

1:52Okay.

1:53the back of the unit.

1:57Okay, so yeah, you have all the vents and stuff.

2:01This head unit's a little bit more integrated.

2:04It's going to be really lined up. Looks like,

2:07like these.

2:16this is for the climate control to like a sensor for to see how much if your

2:22car is cold or not and that's where your auto temperatures but yeah that's kind of

2:26let's go let's walk into your car and compare how it looks like walking in

2:30this is what we're going to replace this is in control speed and then you got

2:35that your temperature so interesting how it looks the colors

2:41actually very close it looks like it will match the interior it's a good thing

2:47they picked this color I know I've seen some colors are silver and stuff but

2:50this color it looks like it matches really well with interior the rest of your

2:54car so it'd be well integrated as far as trying to see it so it kind of points to

2:58you because the screen is kind of like morphs so it points to the driver so

3:03kind of like this yeah well it's a big difference this screen the way it

3:11it extrudes out it's pretty massive wow it's gonna be a big

3:16difference what do you think I think I already like the way it looks

3:22on my like on even though like we haven't like yeah I'm really

3:29surprise with the color that's that's important because when you buy after

3:33market head units it's not gonna have this it's gonna look like just a

3:37rectangle yeah but we're now you're, gonna have Android Auto you're gonna have

3:40wireless Apple CarPlay wired Apple CarPlay for your iPhone because I know

3:44you're an iPhone users you're gonna have more USBs so if you want to charge

3:47your phone or whatever you have three instead of this one doesn't I don't

3:52think even has it then you get with GPS Wi-Fi and stuff like that so

3:56You're you're gonna definitely be able to make this what year is this car 2008 2010 2010 yeah, so 2010 and we're bringing it to 2019 standard

4:05So that's gonna be great. Even the new 2019 Civic doesn't have to have

4:09Like Apple car Android Auto or even I'm not sure if they have wireless Apple Carplay

4:13So it's cars gonna be even newer than the newer Civics. Yeah, and you know not only the color but you know

4:19I feel like the

4:21The material it feels pretty solid. I mean, I don't know much about like

4:26Yeah, but even if you feel like it's it's not like a flimsy plastic

4:30It's like it is plastic, but it's not like a cheap plastic where it might like so sometimes you feel like this and you're like

4:36Okay, that might break you know stuff like this and like kind of like this. It's it's more like

4:41Premium so that do that. It's definitely gonna be interesting

4:45So let's take it apart and move on from there. Okay

4:50Don't turn the car on but have it on position and then move this to

4:55We're gonna have to move all this out. So let's put this into first gear make sure it's on the the e-brake

5:00No have it, have it on the e-brake and just shift it into gear

5:04One to one, so one then you can turn it off make sure make sure yet. We're good

5:09So this will go as clearance when we're removing it. You can turn off your car now

5:13You take it out

5:17Wait what happened? Oh, you can't take it out press the brakes. It might not make it

5:21It might not let you take it out. Okay. Just like that

5:25All right, so there's a little panel right here.

5:28I don't you guys can see that.

5:29There's a little two notches you can pick out right here.

5:32We're gonna use this plastic tool

5:33so it'll prevent damaging the thing itself.

5:37When you open like this, it just pops right out.

5:40I like using a little,

5:41I just like using my wrist to twist of twist.

5:43That way I'm not damaging anything.

5:45And this is gonna reveal two, eight millimeter bolts.

5:49The bolts are faced this way

5:54and that's what holds this plastic trim in.

5:55So, here's a little bolt right here.

5:57You can see there's a little washer and an eight.

6:00The only thing is it's really in awkward position

6:04So I use this little tool

6:06So you don't need this tool

6:08This tool to basically grab onto the spot right here

6:11Beep but um

6:13We

6:58So we have that out try to try to get the angle here so we're gonna pretty much

7:15much remove all these plugs for the HVAC system hazard buttons if you aren't

7:26I'm not sure where it goes. I highly recommend taking a picture of it.

7:38So that's going to do a little bit more clearance.

7:44Be very careful, especially if you're going with this part.

7:46So plastic on plastic, it does wear a little bit, but metal on plastic.

7:51That's going to do some damage.

7:53be careful with the

8:04You can use it to prevent it from scratching too

8:11Yeah just place it um

8:13Like right here.

8:16So there you go we have the head unit out

8:34So there you go. We have the head unit out. It's pretty heavy

8:38But we still need to transfer the HVAC systems. So we're gonna get we're gonna unscrew these four bolts

8:45The hazarde has two bolts

8:47The passenger airbag light is another two bolts and then the fans are actually another three bolts

8:53So we're going to unscrew that and yeah, we'll do that right now

8:58That's pretty self-explanatory, so I'm not going to show that off

9:01Exclus.

9:03You see this

9:04Let's make sure we have the

9:10Dinner one

9:12Do not strip these bolts

9:17These little screws

9:19And just slightly

9:21My tool is slightly broken though so

9:27So we're gonna screw all the things that are holding the buttons in

9:30So today we're gonna be looking

9:33More into the wiring

9:36We just removed the OEM head unit

9:38So you have HVAC seat belt light

9:41Hazard button

9:43But you know the radio only deals with these 3 wires

9:46This is the base model Civic

9:48This is not an EX Touring or whatever

9:50So this is gonna handle, most of the work

9:54Now the side of comes with a plug and play harness

9:59For your Honda Civic CR-V

10:03CX and stuff like that gonna be a little this little this little bad boy

10:07And what's nice is you don't have to splice anything you just plug it in

10:10So let's see we plug in this with this hopefully and it should fit

10:14it fits yes the next off is this little bad boy and these usually you know

10:24external controls or I powers the rear speakers and so forth so we that

10:33plugged in and then lastly this is the radio antenna so those are the three

10:38things that were coming out the OEM head unit and now we got it it's there

10:43it works it's great. From here all you have to do is plug in this black wire

10:49into this unit right here and you are pretty much set as well as finishing off

10:55the adapter for the radio and boom we are done here like this is like working

11:02this is gonna be able to work. So we're gonna have it kind of fit here

11:10nicely. Now the fitment, I'm just hoping it doesn't require cutting or shaving

11:18but as it sits like right here, it's pretty impressive. Now we're still

11:25removing the HVACs and we're gonna transfer it over but before we do all

11:29of that, we are gonna test the car. Alright so this is the first boot up

11:37I'm hoping it works

11:40We're gonna keep the screen protector on there

11:42Oh, so that's a good sign that means the power is getting to the head unit

11:47Honda logo you can change this logo too

11:50So if you're looking to change it to Acura or Lamborghini,, you can do the Lamborghini Civic

11:57But so our first initial boot up we should see if the sound works the Bluetooth and stuff like that

12:04So here's the head the head unit now. This is the decided max 6

12:08So this is the top spec Android head units, not all the Android head units are made equally

12:13So this one has the better DSs this one has the better audio processor 64 gigs of RAM of

12:18of internal storage and like 486 gigs of RAM or something like that so this is

12:22more of the top of the line stuff and looks like it's working and audio is

12:28working so I'm gonna try Bluetooth right now and then we're gonna try like

12:31Apple CarPlay and so forth okay so to hook up Bluetooth real quick we go to

12:40Bluetooth, and I have my phone right here. Go to your Bluetooth settings, what's

12:53the pin code? The pin code from the factory is zero zero zero zero, very

12:58easy. So now it's plugged in so we can import our contact list and so forth to

13:05spew to go to Bluetooth audio as a source as a source. You

13:08click on a2dp and I have how to do a civic install it because I was watching

13:14that earlier and then we can play also play music so yeah it's it's working and

13:21it actually sounds really crispy so that's a start now we can what we can do here is

13:27we can install the usb's the GPS the Wi-Fi we know the Bluetooth works let's

13:32make sure the radio works and stuff for like that so we're gonna plug in the

13:35All the rest of the cables and make sure that works from here

13:38So we're just gonna install the Wi-Fi antenna because this is theo, ando, and we just gotta get every nook and cranny

13:43We have the GPS the the microphone stuff like that, so we're gonna

13:48Install the GPS remember you can route this GPS on top of your dash

13:52It might installs especially because it's quick and easy to remove after I just put it right right here

13:58So that's where I'm gonna put put it. I'm just gonna put it around top

14:00I'm just gonna put it around on top

14:02There is a little adhesive tape

14:04So we're gonna do that in a bit

14:06But install that

14:11This thing alone can penetrate through this plastic

14:13That's the only thing that's against

14:15Like you don't really need a sight

14:17And

14:19Most people too

14:21This is like for emergencies

14:23Generally people just use the Apple CarPlay maps

14:25And stuff like that anyways

14:27But

14:29They really you have no issues with it

14:30installed right here.

14:34So I'm just gonna install it.

14:35I don't really wanna block too much of the words,

14:38deep enough where the wires are, are still kind of tight.

14:44So we have GPS, wifi, we have the radio plugged in.

14:49Now, the more, the most important thing with this car

14:51is the, my cousin right there, he loves his iPhone

14:57and he likes Apple CarPlay.

14:59So that's one of the main attractions.

15:00So we're gonna hook him up with some USBs.

15:03This also has wireless Apple CarPlay.

15:05So he doesn't need to, but let's say

15:07if he was charging his car or something like that.

15:09So this is gonna give him some power.

15:12And what I like to do, personally,

15:14is

15:15I like to snake this over into the glove box.

15:18That way you get that nice clean, install, you know,

15:20you a nice nice and clean, all the wires hidden.

15:23So,

15:28so we're gonna see, it's a little,

15:39So I got one USB in

15:43And then two

15:45That way no one sees this

15:47But if he needs a charge

15:49He has two USBs

15:51Right then and there

15:53But you also get an extra USB too

15:55This one's called the Cable B line

15:57We're gonna also put that in

15:59So now he's gonna have a total of three USBs

16:04faster charging than his AC cigarette lighter, he has right here, so he has

16:10cigarette lighter, so we can control, you can measure amps with certain apps too.

16:17Bam, three USBs. To finish it off, we have some audio line in and out, aux and

16:25camera vent, now this camera, this car itself does not there's not have a backup

16:29camera but you you could put a backup camera onto this so the the only thing

16:34that is a camera is it's just uses the Seattle composite cable so any kind of

16:39camera that uses composite cable like a rca jack yellow composite

16:44it will it would work and we could do that but for this install it is kind of

16:50timely you would have to wire basically a wire from here and you

16:55we rotted all the way to the back of the car

16:58and putting a camera.

16:59Now I've done that for the Scion TC,

17:01so if you guys were looking to see how to wire it,

17:05you can do that, but in this case,

17:08we're not gonna do that in here.

17:10So we're gonna plug in the brown wire.

17:12There's actually labels that show you which to which.

17:15We're doing this because I want him to retain

17:17at least the aux cable.

17:20So I'm just gonna plug that in.

17:22So you know how there's two there's a RCA so if he was trying to use ox for some reason

17:28He can actually just go to the video input and then listen to the left and right channels of the ox

17:31The left and right channels of the aux

17:33So that's good

17:35And for people

17:37There's RC Jacks for subwoofer

17:39So here's a little detail

17:41There's the mid RCA sub

17:43We have rear

17:45Basically it's a line out

17:47Yeah it's a line out

17:49So we're almost done with everything

17:53There's only one thing we have to do left

17:55And that's gonna be the

17:57The microphone

17:59Now this head unit does have a microphone

18:03can just use this but if you were to try to get that extra extra microphone

18:08crispiness for it you can sell one of these bad boys and your microphones and

18:15sound a little bit more crispy so we're gonna do that too in this case and we're

18:21gonna have it just kind of wired through this skeleton shell if I can is

18:29even clear so you just have to find little like spaces little creaks and

18:35cracks and fish it through and there's a little plug right here like a

18:42Headphone jack and you plug it into here the 3.5

18:47Now whether we're whether the owner wants so make sure you I usually put this on the steering wheel

18:54It's kind of discreet that way, but make sure it's not dusty because that's gonna make it so it doesn't stick I

19:03Usually have it something like this

19:05Let's fish the wires up a little bit more.

19:10I usually have it like this.

19:14But I don't know that's a little too intrusive for him, so we can also wire it to the side

19:19too.

19:20We'll get your opinion on that.

19:24Where do you prefer your microphone?

19:27Microphone?

19:28Yeah, for like talking.

19:30Maybe as close to the

19:32Steering wheel as possible

19:34Yeah, that's what we're planning to do

19:36So there's two ways that you can do it

19:39I have the wire kind of state snake mark here

19:42So we can either have it right here

19:44Which is kind of like

19:46You're easy to see

19:47But this will be the clearest

19:48You have the vents and stuff

19:50Uninstalled in the previous one

19:52And look at this

19:53It's gonna be super easy because it's just a bolt

19:55You just screw in those two things

19:57Same with the

19:59AC thing

20:01Or the

20:05Interesting

20:06This airbag

20:10I'm not sure if we it's gonna reuse that

20:11Because it's kind of blocking even now

20:13But then we're gonna use the HVAC and stuff like that

20:15Yeah, it's gonna be

20:17Interesting

20:18A little tricky part right here is the HVAC

20:21After you remove the bigger screws

20:23And even the little small screws right here

20:25What you have to do is

20:27You literally just have to push it really hard

20:29And the

20:33You just, you just have to be

20:35be a little more aggressive.

20:37As you, as I push

20:39this down, it's gonna put weight

20:41and it's equally distribute the

20:43whole thing and they push off. That's probably the safest way to do it and that's what I would

20:49recommend you guys to do. Push it off. So then you can put it back in but we're gonna put these

20:57knobs back in when the car is, well it's gonna be when we put the other head unit in there.

21:03It's recording. Alright so we have everything screwed in here. We have one two three

21:08for the vent, we have one too for the hazard, and then we have the HVAC controls right here

21:14as well.

21:15Now one thing that we don't have is this little puppy right here, it's the passenger airbag

21:21that usually slots in kind of in this general vicinity but the screen's so massive that

21:27it blocks it.

21:28Now, you can still keep this plugged in, it's just telling you that your airbag's

21:38So at least some light comes through here

21:40That is a possibility

21:42But in our case

21:44We're not gonna do anything like that

21:46We're just gonna plug it and just leave it in the back

21:48And forget about it

21:50But yeah, so this is kinda how the head unit looks like

21:53With it in

21:54Oh, we forgot the little caps

21:56So then you get the caps on top of this too

21:58And we're gonna secure it in a bit

22:00But yeah

22:01Look at that

22:02The fitment is insane

22:03Look at that

22:04It's like super precision cut right there

22:07The vents

22:09Super in there

22:11That's really amazing to have a shell like this

22:13And to have a fitment like that

22:15So all is not dandy yet

22:17We have to make sure it fits

22:19But it is looking pretty good right now

22:23Now these things in real quick

22:25Looking beautiful

22:26Now we're gonna plug everything in

22:29Now I already have all the wiring plugged in here

22:32So the rest is almost like Lego pieces

22:35The main power ISO

22:37Goes in here

22:38Followed by the antenna

22:40Notice the clearance issue

22:42So this is where you have to get real tight

22:44We have the

22:46This is gonna handle aux

22:48So I still like giving aux support

22:50The USB

22:51This is one of the single USB

22:53Followed by the dual USBs

22:55That we hooked them up earlier with

22:57And then we have the microphone

23:00get that microphone hooked up and that's it but now you also have to remember

23:08we're gonna have to hook up a few other things like the HVAC controls and stuff

23:16B I'm plugging in the airbag on your feet, so we're going to plug in this right here.

23:32This doesn't really tell you much, it's more like... the safety, so we'll just plug that in,

23:40so it doesn't bother us.

23:41so the car still knows it's plugged in, then gotta get real tight, real tight.

23:50Plug in the AC because it's hot, then you have to get real tight into here. I can't see.

23:58clear the steering wheel for the turn signal stock everything is plugged in here

24:11we're just going to slowly fish things back pushing all the wires out of the

24:18way so a lot of wires because we just basically put a bunch of functionality

24:25into this car all right to remove these clips you just kind of pull it be careful

24:29because they're plastic and you just pop up I'll do next demonstration so you

24:34can't rabbit hook it be slow with it and you pop it out all right so I know there

24:41was one right here so just transfer and the clips over transfer

24:46the clips over. That way it really sticks on. Let me get that good fit. Alright, so on the

24:56OEM unit you have these little metal brackets that we didn't transfer over. So we're going

25:00So a, we the,

25:02Like a good fitment

25:04So on the OEM unit

25:06You have these little metal brackets

25:08That we didn,t transfer over

25:10So we're gonna do that as well

25:12To remove it

25:16I'm gonna see if I can do this with one hand

25:25You just have to bend the

25:27The little metal tab here

25:29You wanna push it back in

25:30want to push it back in.

25:33This spot faces outwards.

25:36And you push back in here.

25:40Boom.

25:49Okay, it looks like everything is in.

25:53It's fitting in right here.

25:54Again, it's fitting in right here.

25:56It was like 80%.

25:58Now it's looking a little bit better.

26:00Not perfect yet, cause we don't have the top one yet,

26:02That's how it sits. It sits really nice right here only if it was able to just stick a little bit more in

26:07I'm hoping when we put the rest in it might fix it a little bit more

26:11But it looks good and the OEM one it didn't look a hundred percent

26:16It looked like 98-99% but this one's looking like a good 90% fitment wise. So let's put in the other pieces and we should be

26:24Good to go. But before that let's test it out make sure it works because I don't want to do that again

26:32Oh, turn signal, turn what, move the turn signal, turn signal. So hazards are working,

26:45earlier AC is working. Yes, very good. Then we have the head unit itself. Let's check

26:57got, some audio make sure it works. I'm not sure it's still hooked to my phone.

27:00I'm not sure

27:01It's still hooked to my phone

27:05So we're just

27:06Clearing it

27:07Making sure things are fitting

27:11It's pretty painty

27:17Yep we're just

27:18I meanaves what do you think

27:19Look at this

27:20Compare this to this

27:21It's

27:22It's actually very close

27:23This one actually looks brand new

27:25But it looks like the paint got faded

27:27It that looks like the paint, got fadedf

27:31This car held up.

27:32I was working on that Camry in

27:34in my last video and the dash, like this piece,

27:38it was, it was, the whole thing was like this.

27:42It was like flaking.

27:43It was very weird.

27:44And this is plastic, right?

27:45I don't understand how this thing was trying to,

27:48like, turn into this.

27:50It was, it was disgusting.

27:52But I think they're just come there.

27:57Yeah, for like, for this head unit to be around $400 to $500,

28:03I definitely would recommend.

28:05For Android Auto and Apple CarPlay alone,

28:08that's like really worth it.

28:10You go to a pioneer route and your screen's like this big

28:13and it's low resolution,

28:15and you still have to buy the kit

28:17because you still have to buy this part for the head unit too.

28:20And it's just like, you're spending a lot of money.

28:27Took off was this thing so going back you could actually wire some USB's right here too little

28:32Going back

28:34You could actually wire some USB's

28:38Right here too

28:39Because there's a little hole

28:41Could be kind of nice

28:43There you go

28:44And we're done here

28:46So let's um

28:47Let's start the car again

28:51Let's close the door

28:52We're actually starting the car

28:53Make sure it works

28:54So you

29:08So usually you'll see this when your car has been. Been off for a long time and let's let's remove this thing.

29:21That sounds like sass, so we have his phone hooked up in everything, um yeah, things are looking good.

29:51We finished the install,

30:03it's looking great.

30:04Remember, we can change this interface, make it look a little bit different too depending

30:06on what his minister, Adam's personal taste is.

30:12So how do you feel about this head unit?

30:14You've been playing with the last 15, 20 minutes?

30:16Yeah it was actually better than expected to be

30:22after the market head unit. I use the thing that it couldn't be as smooth and as

30:27looking like fit fit in everything kind of nice like this is color and everything so

30:30Kind of nice like this

30:31Color and'll and everything

30:33So yeah

30:34I think I love it

30:35And especially

30:36The only reason why

30:38I decided to get it

30:39Because I like the

30:41Minimalistic

30:42Look up the car play

30:43And from your view.

30:44It looks like everything

30:45Is very cohesive

30:46Yeah

30:47From the driver's side

30:48Every even the screen

30:49Is slightly tilted towards him

30:51Yeah

30:52So you can see it

30:53And then the car play

30:54Is the main reason

30:56Um

30:57Pretty easy again

30:58We just hook up to the Bluetooth

30:59It automatically changed to Z-Link

31:01When the Bluetooth was hooked up

31:02And now it's doing the handshake

31:04So what happens is

31:05The Bluetooth basically handshakes back

31:07And then this turns

31:09Or his phone turns into a hotspot

31:11So the hotspot transfers

31:12All the data over

31:13And he can still use a cellular

31:15To transfer to data

31:17So now

31:18We're getting a wifi connection

31:20And it does take a minute to

31:22Basically handshake

31:25Oh dude

31:26This guy's going

31:27You got some

31:29I didn't know you like M&M

31:36Anything, anything you want to say about the install process you saw it was it was

31:41fairly straightforward and easy yeah only the hardest part I think was to

31:46take up like the screws on on this part right here but once we the rest was

31:47pretty easy even, though you know I know I don't know a lot of stuff about car stuff

31:59but fairly easy if I can do it if you guys can do it anyways that's a wrap if you guys

32:00If I can do it

32:01You guys can do it

32:02Cool

32:03Anyways that's a wrap

32:04If you guys were looking to buy

32:05This Honda Civic 2010 head unit

32:07This also works for

32:08Anything that has this kind of design

32:10So I know that

32:11In some markets called the CX

32:13The Acura CX

32:14Or the Honda CX

32:15And stuff like that

32:16You'd be able to fit it like this

32:17It was pretty easy

32:18The only thing that we did lose

32:19Was the airbag

32:20Because the airbag

32:21Was right here

32:22We just removed it

32:23It's just basic

32:24In the back now

32:25So if I sit

32:26I don't know if the airbag is off

32:27But obviously it should be on

32:28Other than that

32:31Yeah, links down below and where you can buy it.

32:34Thank you guys for watching.

32:35See you guys in the next one.

32:39You
