All the new head units support maestro, but that doesn’t mean they don’t support metra. Any manufacturer can make a harness. Having a maestro compatible head unit just means you get specific RR features through a proprietary port.
also the logic is a bit flawed since the same exact head unit is used across the Honda suite of SUVs/cars. The 11th gen will likely used a different head unit since it’s a complete redesign.
And that’s why maestro has a HO1 and HO2 harness and our cars specifically are supposed to be on an HO4 harness and HO3 will probably be used for other ones and maybe they’ll even make an HO5 harness for the new ones
. Just like FIRSTECH which makes computstar remote starts and is a sister company of ADS (who makes the maestro) has like 10 different harnesses for their DC3 platform some of which support cars and not others
that’s all cool and everything but the head units we want have to support the interface regardless. You can have all the harnesses you want but if the headunits don’t support it you’re still SOL.And that’s why maestro has a HO1 and HO2 harness and our cars specifically are supposed to be on an HO4 harness and HO3 will probably be used for other ones and maybe they’ll even make an HO5 harness for the new ones
Again harness doesn’t matter if headunit doesn’t support it lol we could go in circles all night.
Yeah maestro is the easiest and cleanest but the competitors have come up with plenty of stupid ways of making literally the stuff our cars do that other cars have done in the past. I used to do this shot for a living I’ve seen some pretty stupid shit but it damn sure swapped the radio. Stop trying to scare people on this thread.
ive installed a radio on every car I’ve had. Im not trying to scare anyone but it’s not just the civic that has this headunit.Yeah well you’re fucking stupid and clearly have never installed a radio so I guess the circle ends there smart guy
That’s because nobody cares about car audio anymore. It’s a niche thing that most people only do if they have to. Those that enjoy it, find it, and it’s usually available. Some times in weird ways like this, you know, since the radios don’t have a PAC Audio direct interface so they release a whole kit to make it work complete with a stupid little screen? Or maybe this for the camaro?
and again I made a thread about this trying to get some support to throw at the one company that is supported. Crickets on that thread. Not sure how that comes off as trying to scare people. I’ve been waiting for 2 years man. I’ll have
On the Lx they don’t need anything. Maintenance is still in the dash and no dual climate control I don’t think.That’s because nobody cares about car audio anymore.

Oh, oh, I know! This for the old Honda Accord that literally comes with a WHOLE new climate control since Honda had a stupid design team back then!
If maestro can’t get it done (which believe me, they will) pac or metra will probably release a kit that changes the controls of the LX climate control that they force you to buy in order to do it complete with stickers to change what the buttons do. Who knows! It’s just not beneficial yet since nowadays people only change their radios when they break or if they’re enthusiasts, and they especially do it less when they don’t have to because our radios have CarPlay and android auto already which is main reason normie’s change their radios nowadays cause they bought a fucking base model that has a shitty radio. Oh wait, there already is an LX harness and kit huh
lol I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove at this point. We get it cheap cars have cheap alternatives for shit quality solutions haha.
the pac ones are nice, especially the new ones. Metra’s always trash, but sometimes they’re the only option. Also, the pac double din kits are usually the best available unless there’s a maestro one which is rare. They usually only do smart harnesses but it depends on the car, and even then they’ll usually come bundled with the smart harness. I’ve installed on hundreds of different cars.
