That's a very good idea, I didn't even think about that. I will have to do some research coming up soon then I guess! Haha. Is everything usually just plug and play when doing the physical install? Or do you have to run a new harness usually?If you go with something that's like a year old it should have good functionality with the car especially yours being a 17. I installed a like 4 year old double din Sony in my 17 hatch sport and it worked pretty well except for the buttons on the steering wheel, I could get everything to map except the back button to restart a song. So if you go with something newer but not necessarily brand new, it should work out pretty well. I don't like brand new as often times they haven't worked out kinks on compatibility with different cars and you may be stuck waiting on an update or some bs. I'm sure if you just google "head unit swap 10th gen civic" and then repeat with "head unit swap 2017 civic" you'll see tutorials and you can see if the people doing the videos have issues and whatnot. If you like their radio and it went smooth, then there's your proof that it works properly. For the most part swapping a head unit is easy except wiring the harness and setting the steering wheel controls (if they don't map correctly the first time) so I usually do it myself... not sure on what it costs. I have a hunch over there in Cali, they might run you like $200 for something like that...
