Hi there guys.

I am hoping to change the headunit soon and was wondering would I need to purchase a new facia? or the standard din size is behind the curvy standard cd unit that came with the civic?

Pete

 

Yes, you have to buy a dash kit to accomidate the new head unit, and theres a tutorial out there somewhere.

The AC ***** and such will stay though, as it is 2 seperate pieces.

Just the CD player itself, and the area Immediately under it will be replaced.

heres a link to find it, <FONT COLOR="red">click here for link</FONT>. thats what it looks like. You can get them off EBay real cheap, or any place that sells/installs stereos.

 

thanks for the reply bro, just had to double check so that I can get everything ready so that it will be an easy installment, etc

also, you know the standard gear **** you get with the type-s? it basically clips onto the gaitor, I bought the type-r replica (5-Speed version) but it doe snot clip onto the gaitor, what kind of mod do I have to do to either the gaitor or the gear **** to insure the gaitor is well tightened and in-place.

Thanks

Pete

 

sorry for double posting but I plan to get a dvd player with a TV from China, my relatives might send over one which requires 2din slots, how will I go about that? cause the ones on ebay have the same bottom shelf as the standard one :S

Thanks again

Pete

 

heres what i did with mine, seeing as i have a B&M short throw and the OEM R ****,

i just tied it off at the bottom around the shifter, shows off the lever and **** both.

But if you got the **** from a dealership, it will come with all the parts needed to secure the boot to the **** itself.

As for the Dual DIN, hollar at FVENTURA03, hes got one in his ride i think. I have seen it on here at H-T, ill look around for it for you.

naw, i sold it.



my skunk2 **** w/rsx boot adapter


when you get the dual din unit, you'll need this trim kit, or whatever you call it, its from metra.

 

Nice pics! I would have got it from the main dealer but they overcharge, lol...they want like £50 for a gear ****! (equivalent to approx $90ish)

I bought mine off ebay for only a mere £12, lol.

Also, sorry I did not make myself chear enough, but by 2din I mean seperate units. As in the dvd is sepearte from the tv unit.

BUT after looking at your 2din dvd/tv combi it seems to look like a standard gps unit which is good as it kinda keeps thieves away? The only problem with the seperate dvd/tv system is thieves WILL be attracted to it

Any suggestions about the safest choice?

Also @ fventura03, what is metra? :S

Pete

 

i have the skunk2 **** also, wouldn't trade it for anything. i had the modacar type r replica and the skunk2 is wayyy better.

 

what the hell is a civic type s? and how do some of you have a little door covering your cupholders? i don't have that.....did it start on years later than 01?

 

started in 02, i bought a whole new console with the lid for my 01.

metra is the brand that makes the dash kit for dual dins, and yeah theives like navigation setups... so protect yourself accordingly.

 

what is the sterring wheel from i really like that. I have the type r shift boot with red stiching, so that would go great. Let me know were you got it from thanks.

what kind of facia do I need so that I can use the bottom din?

not a all in one system but actually seperate dvd/tv unit. screen at the top and dvd player at the bottom.

Pete

 

search ebay, it's made by metra. called a dash kit i believe.
