9" Aftermarket Android Head Unit (Feature Overview / Installation)

[NHCivicGuy]

Shoot ok I may need to see if I can switch. Ya I can't stand the stock screen, so slow and outdated

If it helps too, I know when I ordered mine, it took a few days to ship. It actually had like a build date the day before it shipped, so that was nice! I’m sure either way you can’t go wrong. At least on Ali you can prob get it for less with the upcoming sale. Make sure for either order you tell them you need the correct harness for the factory amplifier option. This is what I sent them, that was on one of their listings.

Let me try to upload them fresh here-

Did upgrading to this change anything about the digital instrument cluster? I’m wondering about the navigation function specifically.

Navigation, song info and volume control do not currently show up on the gauge cluster. Not a huge deal for me though.

Awesome thanks man, I made the switch. Looks like the main difference with the 10.5" is we get a slightly lower screen resolution but it's probably not even noticeable. Have you tested out the wireless Android Auto or Carplay yet ?

Yeah I saw that and it’s honestly not noticeable for me, it looks great. The backup camera is so bad tho, but that’s the camera itself.

I’ve been using wireless CarPlay since day 1 and it’s fantastic. Faster than when I was using the adapter before with the factory radio. Sound quality is great with the EQ working with it and I also have the CarQiWireless charging pad to go with it.

Would this work for a Touring?
Does it include controls for stuff like TPMS etc?

Nice. Is that a better charging pad than the stock one?

You can reset TPMS and maintenance minder. It should work for the touring. I have the CTR which technically is a touring level and has the touring audio system.

Stock one is too expensive and I don’t have too much experience with it. Installation is way more involved with the stock one, even though not terrible. This took 10 seconds to install and works fantastic. Plus it’s only $40.

Does the screen auto-dim with the instrument cluster and when you turn the knob to set the brightness of interior lighting?

Yupp! I did have to install and app to dim the display more at night, since even the lowest setting was still way too bright.

Does anyone happen to know if there is an aftermarket Head Unit that supports SiriusXM? I would use my phone app but there are several spots near me where cell coverage is very spotty. I need a new unit, but if none of the aftermarket ones have this I'll just buy a used one from a junkyard. I've dug around on here and haven't had much luck. Thanks in advance.

Nah they don’t support it that I’ve seen.

Hey!
I've searched a bunch through this thread, and can't find the exact fix to my issues. I've installed a Navifly M400 (from another user on here) and found the way to fix the backup camera (t-tap fix). I have other issues. It won't do anything else advertised. No android auto/carplay, no internet nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Again, I apologize for starting up another conversation about this.

out of the blue - I was looking to this unit here : https://electronics.sony.com/audio/car-marine-audio/mobile-es-series/p/xav9500es
How can I check if this is plug&play compatible with our hondas?
Anyone tried this before?
