Android 8.0 Head Unit: Honda Civic Base-Model Full Install

0:00I'm working on another civic

0:30on another civic this is the base model and if you don't know how to take the trim pieces off they're all clipped in so this basically our goal when we're moving this is to move the AC unit first

0:46section there's one more clip here you want to be definitely gentle yeah so there's a clip that one's cut rugged and yet before Clips total

1:03you definitely want to use a tool so much easier look at that comes out this is the first time removing this alright so next thing to do take the AC out you see how it protrudes out a little bit right here you might get your tool you

1:19just pretty much want to pop it up on the side then you can do that let me see if I can do this one hand try not to break it of course there you go so didn't take that much pressure at all from what you guys saw and I did that one hand

1:34alright so even though there's these two screws and then these ones you don't need to remove these small ones just these main ones and then the brass is held by Clips remove this HVAC one two so with the base model its should be

1:50plug-and-play you also have these two plugs these are for the H of X so make sure you unclip that and if you can get them the back and you get two from the back right here there's definitely a lot less plugs and we're gonna remove it right here so yeah this is a lot less

2:02And we're gonna remove it right here.

2:05So yeah, this is a lot less plugs than the Type R.

2:09So it should be pretty easy.

2:13Just unplug those plugs,er.

2:15And then we were gonna reconnect plugs right here.

2:18This is what we're gonna do right now right and right now.

2:20So we're gonna work on the plugs right here

2:22and just attach all the plug and play harnesses and it,

2:28what's up so, so I'm just plugging this in pretty self-explanatory you just got

2:40the AC stuff working so there's these two plugs right here this one right here is going to be a USB USB adapter definitely you want to reuse your stock USB adapter there's that and then

2:58followed up we also need to do ratio so just I get the radio right here I should clip in ease so there you go that's all the plugs you need gonna be

3:14these two main plugs for audio and your radio controls so you're pretty much set on that in you got the backup cameras and all that stuff right here I'm gonna show you how it is on the back of the head unit all right so we have I'm gonna

3:31show you the hack the back of it so we plugged in the backup camera this is what's gonna hold the backup camera information GPS antenna you just screw this in very so and right here we have two cameras you

3:50have Hawks video we want kam bin so plug in the camp in webcam bin here there's gonna be two things this one's right camera this is if you have a camera on the side mirror this car is not equipped

4:05with that but the head unit is compatible with that all right so we plug in this and there is one more plug we need to plug in and it's gonna be extra USB now this car has a USB under the center cut of the cubbyhole we are

4:21actually able to retain that here so we're going to be able to retain that USB cord so the USB can be right here so the two plugs in the back is the USB

4:37side me this one right here and then we have the back up camera right here and then we have the antenna and Wi-Fi this main harness is where most of the magics gonna happen and that's where you plug into this bad boy right here you might have some extra plugs on the back as you can see right there but they do that

4:52from competitive compatibility so if you have the e X trim and stuff like that you're gonna have compatibility with that we have the GPS antenna kind of map like this so we all do like that and there we go I'm gonna put this back

5:11together and we're gonna finish from there first up the back of the unit you can see these clips we actually need to transfer these clips over to these new ones that way it's gonna be nice and snug so you know there's three clips right here three clip through white clips so we just got to glaze of white

5:26retainers off and transfer it over to the new ones once you can take the clip off it looks like this just slide it in and you hear it click and that's it you gotta click then so removing it this is how I remove it just be very careful

5:41because it might break I kind of go like this I bend it and it pops out like that so just be very careful know the limit there you go popping it in this is gonna

5:56give it a nice snug fit which is very important because I'm not kind of reflection s you want everything to look nice cleaning and well done all right so we're gonna boot it up for the first time hopefully it works some navigation

6:15is turning on maybe I should plug in these in so it is turning on that's great news that means we've got power to the system honda emblem is loading up it's pretty cool I get the nice big screen

6:35so look at that cut the CAN bus controls I don't have you saw that but instead both doors are open let me close this door right here it should notify me that the right door is open so let's open the look you did you have that functionality before no it's not yet a little more luxury you have the

6:50two doors open when I change the AC right here it's gonna basically show right there it there you go so that's the true temperature this has dual climate compatibility but this car isn't gol climate so it's just gonna show the

7:01This has dual climate compatibility, but this car isn't dual climate so it's just going

7:06to show the right temperature right here.

7:09So let's test out some other functions and I'm just going to wrap it up and clean

7:12it up a little bit.

7:13So I'm tuck in this since we have an extra USB with this Android head unit, I'm

7:17I'm a favor and have an extra USB right here,

7:21so, if he wants to charge any devices or something like that,

7:23he has it right here.

7:25You can also put a USB flash drive

7:27on our external hard drive.,

7:28it's gonna be in his glove box now.

7:36there you get some audio right here and we can choice you can change it right here so that's a definitely a good thing the next thing I want to test out it's gonna be the reverse someone throw this car in reverse and it shows the reverse camera as far as trajectory when I change the steering wheel it is moving

7:52and as you can see here it has all angles which is really nice cuz my car doesn't have that but the stock Civic I believe has that so you have different angles you can look at you can see his wing right there so it's definitely a cool feature to have you can't see from here but I'm routing the microphone I

8:00So you.

8:01You have different angles you can look at.

8:01And you can see his wing right there.

8:03So it's a definitely a cool feature to have.

8:05Can't see from here, but I'm routing the microphone.

8:08I, I forgot to do that the very end.

8:09So there's going to be a microphone

8:11and I can choose where I want to put it.

8:13I like to have it a a little bit of stealth.

8:15So I'm gonna wrap it around under the the sink roll.

8:18I can have it either right here,

8:20or I'm gonna just put it on the side of the wheel.

8:21There is a sticker, so wipe the area down.

8:25you can't see it,

8:26buts I'm just putting the microphone in there

8:27and there's a microphone plug in the back.

8:29So don't forget to install the microphone.

8:39there all clips give it some slaps I'm gonna do a one wipe of the bezels and we're gonna fire this thing back up wow what a difference so let me show you the stock stock versus modded

8:56look at that the screen is like a gameboy and now we're going to an HD iPad looking at the screen right here so that's a big improvement of course you want to fire it up there you go that instant boot that music

9:13steering wheel controls are working if you can the show of my stainless we have schools control working which is definitely a good plus Stan little controls working that next thing I want to test out is the dimmer switch I just turned the headlights you see how it

9:28lights up here which is another good thing right there I'm just turned on it dims the screen a little bit too I'm gonna turn it back off right there another thing I definitely want chest test out is GPS so you're gonna use this I go navigation it's gonna load but yeah

9:31thing right now I'm just turned on. It dims the

9:33screen a little bit too. I'm gonna turn it back off right there. Another thing I

9:38Definitely you want to test out is GPS.

9:41So you're going to use this IGO navigation.

9:44, it's going to load.

9:46But yeah, overall everything's working.

9:48It looks nice.

9:49, look at this fitment.

9:51Looks is really important to me.

9:52When I look at Pioneer and Sony and all of them,

9:54they don't have unit specific one.

9:56So it looks really after market and tacky.

9:58Something like this is definitely the go to the install

10:01install on a civic base model it is really easy you should be able to do this one with this 7-inch - there's a harness for that that one's whip up premium audio system it's like a 450 from a Civic type-r or something else

10:17you're actually gonna run into issues so you definitely don't want to have a premium but if you have a base model like an L X DX even a TX that works with long if you get a X touring model civic SI or type bar you're gonna run into some issues so you definitely don't want that to happen

10:32other than that I hope you guys have have a good day that's it highly recommend this install it's easy [Music]

10:54just in the car right now issue is vehicle information something we're trying to retain this history stuff you can still look at your mpg and stuff another thing I want to show is Department full settings because this us can't is control

11:04Another thing I want to show is car control settings, because this has can be as control

11:09That means is you have things that

11:12like

11:13Trip A settings, headlight auto off time auto sensitivity

11:17So all the functions that were on the original head unit you have here to auto door lock and stuff like that

11:23So that's really cool a lot of features more. There's a lot. I'm talking about look

11:27It's quite a bit

11:29And then the air conditioning system too.

11:31This is something that wasn't originally on the system,

11:33I believe, but now you can change right there,

11:36which is awesome, and very good.

11:38So, it's incredible, technology.

11:43Yep, just wanted to show that quick again.
