Does the JDM Civic Type R have an (almost) FK2 interior?

Or at least something similar. Scroll down to the middle of the .pdf and the interior is like looking at a different car from ours

Not sure what you're referring to. Looks like an FK8 interior with the carbon fiber accessories.

Only difference is that headunit.

Fk2 interior is completely different.

It's not just the headunit. the climate control is different also. It is a single zone climate control and the controls are not tied to the head unit like others.

Are you guys not seeing that the entire infotainment and climate control stack is different? No large center tablet, separate climate controls with real buttons?

Read an article that referenced that so many Japanese owners like to add their own aftermarket head units that the auto manufactures design them specifically for that purpose.

I think that Gathers infotainment unit is an option. The base model has a plastic cover.

It is an option. A lot of people put headunits in that allows for TV channels to be played in japan.

It just looks like the single zone HVAC from the base hatch models. Nothing really special about it.

Personally I'd rather have real HVAC buttons than the button-less system the US gets.

They have to do this, otherwise it won't work without the infotainment system, right?

All US Civics have the same console setup with the virtual HVAC and tablet infotainment as the CTR.

yup. that's exactly what it is. I too personally wish we had this kind of climate control over the dual zone one in the USA

Everyone wants what they dont have.

I want it because it's just much easier to use imo. I don't like having to press the climate control button every single time to change fan settings and stuff. Not to mention, it also takes a few seconds for it to actually show up on the infotainment system.

I do just use the auto system currently because I hate having to click the climate button to change stuff but I do prefer to have actual buttons and stuff to change fan speed/etc.
