Hey guys, I'm new to the forums here and just bought my brand new 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport in manual, of course. I was searching around the forums and I couldn't find anything about replacing the radio.
The stock radio in the Civic HB isn't so great. I was thinking about replacing the radio with this model:

I've seen some videos of people installing these in their 2016-17 models. I was wondering if this would fit in a 2018 model. I don't think there's much of a difference between the 17 and 18 Civic HB. What are your guys thoughts about this?

Hey, i have this unit in my 2017 hatchback sport auto, i love the unit, i got the octa-core with 32gb rom, its fairly smooth and all functions work great. i havent seen interior of the 2018 but as far as i know, they didnt make any changes to dash.

everything with the radio is plug and play, no splicing required, and it keeps functionality of all the cameras and usb ports, also shows on the screen what door/hood/hatch is open, and when u change temp settings it shows on the screen

Hey, thanks for the reply. I probably will be buying the 32gb version but I think it should work for the 2018 model. I can post some pictures of the interior when I get home. Also, I have a question for you. Does the top part of the screen block the A/C vents?

Does a new stereo impact Honda’s warranty ?

I don’t “blast music”, but would like to upgrade the sound system ... not sure if it would negate the 5 year warranty though

If so, it’s not worth it to me

Swapping the headunit will not effect your warranty.

Do you keep all the dashboard functions (turn by turn navigation, music info, trip computer, etc.)?

Yes, I believe so. One of the members that posted in this post has the radio installed so you could ask him any questions you have.

i never had turn by turn navi before i swapped because my 17 hatch sport had the same basic radio as the LX, so i gained that feature upgrading to this radio, as far as music info is concerned it will be radio specific, and swapping to the android head unit does not change anything with the trip info/computer

Here's a picture of the dash.



Also, that's a good point. I need to look into that.
