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?

pics of how it comes up to the A/C vents...dont mind the lint on the screen

Thanks for the pictures. It looks really good! I'll definitely be doing the install sometime in the future.

There is an extra dongle that will allow apple car play to work.

There is a whole thread about installing this head unit. OP must have not looked well enough.

No worries, I just went into the Audio/Nav/Electronics sub forum. Also helps that I've posted in the thread too since I was interested in the Phoenix radios as well.

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:

https://phoenixandroidradios.com/co...id-navigation-radio-for-honda-civic-2016-2017

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?

How tf have I not seen this thread!!!! I have spent weeks looking for info relating this... this helps me sooooo soooo much thank you!!!

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

I have a couple of questions, most of this is foreign language to me so please take it easy haha. whats the 32gb for? that doesnt make any sense on a head unit/ radio for me? and second on the website it says

• Retain most vehicles' factory steering wheel control, backup camera, etc.

Do you know what you lost? I have the same exact car as you and just would like to know if you lost any of the functions
and last question what if I have an iphone does it still work with it?

the 32gb storage is for the apps you download from the google play or anything you save on it, it does retain the factory backup camera and the steering wheel controls, even if you have side view cameras, it works,i didnt lose any functions, i gained a lot of functions, it will work with you iphone, you can mirrow or bluetooth calls and a2dp music from iphone

ahhh ok I see. Do you know if anyone makes headunits for the hatch that have apple car play? and would I need that dongle for the iphones or no?

i dont believe they specifically make one for the civic with apple car play, if you want that feature, you will have to get one of the aftermarket Pioneer, Sony, Alpine double din radios but then you have to purchase a dash kit for the car, you will need these items if you choose one of those

Most reputable shops or installers should have these in stock for when they do the Installation
