From a touring stereo to another touring stereo ought to be plug-and-play. Just keep your eye on eBay, or get a new one if you have a big budget and you want it to be scratch-free. I put a 2019 EX-level stereo (w/ the volume knob) into my 2016 LX civic, using this thread, so I can confirm the...

So, the best way I can explain this—the LX stereo is not two parts. It's a single chunky double DIN nugget that's all one piece of hardware. The HondaLink stereo is two separate pieces, and there are more (and different) connectors on the back of the headunit itself. Even if you did manage to...

Nice work, man! Definitely a far cleaner solution, and I applaud how many pictures you included. I think your work will help make this possible for a lot of people. I would extend an invitation to buy you a drink for your efforts, but... well, you know. I'm probably still going to throw...

I bought this piece from Digi-Key: JAE Electronics MX34005SF1 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/MX34005SF1/670-2284-ND/2044195 It's a perfect fit for the 5 pin port that goes into the tablet. For the 16 pin connector, I also recommend JAE Electronics MX34016SF1...

Installed my stereo today, and I'm happy to report it's working right. I couldn't get the reverse signal to work at the fusebox, so I took my wire down to the kick panel and had success splicing into the turquoise wire there. Next step is to cough up the money for an AM/FM tuner, then I can...

I am attempting to retrofit a Hondalink stereo at the moment. The new pins I bought for that are JAE M34S75C4F2 (also from Digi-keys). I can let you know how well those work there, I assume it's a comparable size. https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.aspx You may want to check here, it's...

Finally have my stereo coming in the mail, a whole year after I decided to do this upgrade. Before I get started on this, what gauge wire did you guys use for the newly built harnesses? I've got all my pins and housings and other gubbins, although if I wind up hitting a wall I will be happily...

Real quick, does anyone know the difference between the 39101-TGG-A21 headunit and the 39101-TEG-A81 headunit? They should both be compatible with the 4button+knob LG tablet.

The operation seems doable. I was a little worried about needing to do all the bench testing at the beginning of the thread, but it seems like the method has been proven by now. I've read through pretty much the whole thread, but there's a lot of info. I'm trying to get the absolute basics in...

Awesome photos, thanks! (Should have read further than the first 10 pages.) I believe the 2016 and 2018 ones are identical, so that pretty much answers my question. If you have any advice about where to find one of these babies, I'd be grateful. Analog controls are a big deal for me, one of the...

Hope all is well for everyone. It seems like we all have working switches now! :D I'm finally getting around to finalizing the last bit of the guide I made, and cleaning up a few typos. If there's anything important I'm missing in there, let me know and I'll add it in.

Has anyone attempted to retrofit the LG head unit from the 2019 models? I believe the part number is 39710-TBA-A41. I've got a 2016 LX sedan. Not sure about the compatibility. Were the connections changed from the Mitsubishi unit? The LG one has a volume knob. I know, I'm weird... But it's...

Thank you wholeheartedly for the advice. I've got the sedan, by the way. I've given an aftermarket head unit swap a good deal of thought, but I tend to come back to the fact that I'd prefer less robust sound to less robust features. If I don't keep mine, I've been considering retrofitting an...

I'm looking for advice about replacement speakers in my '16 LX. The stock speakers are a bit sad. I want some richer dynamics, and enough volume to keep my windows down. I've replaced speakers and head units in older cars of mine. I'd like to get myself an upgrade for this one, but my problem is...

Hope everyone's staying well out there! Everything has been working perfectly, but I was wondering if anybody could give me a hand with my trim panels. The two plastic pieces don't seem to close properly over the steering column now. Any advice?

PICTURES A perfectly crimped wire connector pin, compliments of @DAVEEVAD This is the top cover of the steering column being popped off. This is one of the screws holding on the bottom piece of the steering column cover. This is the final screw holding on the steering column cover...

Hey everyone! At last, I've completed my install. I'm finally compiling my complete how-to, right here for everyone that may want to make this mod. I've tested it out, and it all works perfectly. It's a bit of reading, but I wanted to be comprehensive. I hope this post can help you do it...

Ah, sorry about that. I will definitely report it all as best I can! (I drafted a preliminary list of steps on page six of this thread if you think it might be helpful.) I plan on doing the install this afternoon, or possibly tomorrow afternoon. I'll be sure to take photos. [Update: I've...

Yeah, I didn't see a wire in that spot. I guess it could be something that was added post-2016, or maybe something sedans don't have? Either way, my install should go fairly smoothly, as I don't have a clutch pedal to contend with. Hopefully the post office can come through before the rain on...

Hey everyone! I'm going to be attempting this operation soon (thanks to DAVEEVAD for the parts) and I'm trying to take some photos of the process to share. After I'm done, I'll update my full list of steps and repost it. I'll attach the first one here. This should be the back of the BCM, if the...
