How To Install Radio In 2001-2005 Civic (Detailed Installation) | Project EM2 

I literally just changed my head unit in my 2001 Honda Civic and you do (not) have to rip apart the middle console along with everything else. I just used trim tool to take out main radio ac unit then hooked everything up then slid it back in and done.

Love the full video of mistakes and all. Makes sense to me and I appreciated the work.

You only have to remove that center cover that gives u access to your securing bolts, the center console does not need to come off just that panel that the 12 socket comes out of.

Hi I have just followed your steps to fitting a new stereo in my year 2000 em2 a great vid made the job very easy thanks for taking the time to make it save me a whole heap of problems Adrian in the UK

Hi friend please continue with civic videos its Very good and help it yo me a lot. your channel grow up like that

DAMN! Abnormal Garage pumping out a lot of vids! 💯👍

amazing you have to take the Vehicle half apart to change the Stereo ...bring back the Good ol Dayz

Thanks for the video! It made replacing the radio in my old Honda go like a breeze

Great video. One of the few that shows the 2001 civic, which seems to be a little different from 2002-2005

You do realize that the metal sleeve that comes with the aftermarket radio has push tabs to secure the sleeve to the dash kit. Also the metro faceplate is used for different applications . When installing deck you should always use the faceplates from the unit itself.

I wish they used those push pins allover the car. They are so nice to work with. Taking out clips a lot of them break because they turn brittle over the years

Really great vid

Yep, speakers would help the sound for sure. I went with JBL GX series speakers rated at 2.3 ohms in place of my factory's odd 3 ohm speakers. Hooking the Kenwood head unit up to the factory premium amplified Toyota system using the 2.3 ohm JBL speakers definitely make enough bass and noise for me!

Clean install man! If you plan on adding a subwoofer in the future and don't want a huge sub box in your trunk. I would definitely recommend the Kenwood KSC-SW11 underseat sub (it's what I have for my es2) it's small enough to keep hidden and packs a nice bass punch.

Thank you helped so much 🙏

Abnormal Garage. For what you unplugged, you actually don't have to unplug your battery, which would require you to reset your air bag system after plugging your battery back in. Also, for your car you don't need to remove the center console.

good video bro..

Mine has an ashtray next to the cig lighter, I tried pulling that bit off but it's not moving. Is there extra bolts where the ashtray sits?

Just got done installing a double din no name head unit in my son's 01 Civic sedan. I started removing the console like you did and couldn't figure it out. I removed the piece in front of the cup holders and it came out and I had access to the bolts underneath. My son's is a 5 speed manual, I don't know if that makes a difference. I find it nice that that the rear bracket is set up for a double din or regular. My wife's 05 Civic was an LX special edition and it had a factory JVC double din 6 disc cd so Honda must have seen into the future by making the bracket to accept a standard chassis head unit or a double din. My son's LX came out with the same Honda head unit with tape deck that yours has. Next up is removing the front bumper to put in a set of projector beam headlamp assemblies and get rid of the tow bar. In its prior life it was occasionally towed behind an RV. An old gentleman owned it and took really good care of it.

Thank you very much kind sir

Question! I have a Honda civic 2002EX 70amp alt and Wired just the Rear speakers to 8inch Speakers 275Watts no Amp Worried that the car won’t handle it ?

good video

Awesome Thankyou...

you did it bro you amazing man thanks lot for video

Nice!

did the wire harness come with radio if not where can i get the wire harness to buy

what radio frame do you install?

What about if you dont want to replace the stereo system and you want to repair and clean it out. Done some research and first thing you should do is try to clean out the unit first. Do you have a video on that?

If you're just looking for the serial number to get your code from Honda all you have to do is hold buttons 1 and 6 then at the same time press power button 2 times

my 2002 Civic EX OEM radio has a security code on it that I have to enter anytime I disconnect the battery. I think that is so that no one would steal the radio back in the day, but just curious if that is also somehow tied into any security system or electronics (aside from the head unit) that would disable the car if I swapped radios? Thoughts? Otherwise, good video...you make it look easy.

Does anyone know a site or a link with diagrams of these old radio's? I need to check the colors and channels

Why connecting the blue and red wire together on the aftermarket harness?

Having trouble reinstalling the push pins, which I guess I didn't have to remove. Video does not show reinserting them. Does anyone know how?

What did you use to get the 8mm screws out at 5:17? I’m struggling with this part

I just installed a radio in mine, it took me like an hour to figure out that I had to remove the center console trim.

does this head unit have an aux jack??

When u switch to a aftermarket radio,in ur dash lights dount work cause ur multiplex computer blow rather than the fuse.

I'm planning to replace my stereo in my civic, and I think I have everything I need but I do have one question. Why the new dash kit? I don't know shit about cars so I'm trying to make sure I have everything I need to get this done in one shot. Can I still change mine without the new dash kit or will I have problems? I also don't know where to find the right kind, if I do need one.

A CD player?!? Mine has it but i hardly have any cd. I got some oldies, but to scratched mostly.

Good work my brother blessed be the most high God name.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 you don’t have to remove the entire center console. For simplicity begin removing panels starting with the cigarette lighter piece around 4:40. Good video, but it’s removing your radio with extra steps 🤷🏽‍♂️

What body trim is this?

I did exactly what he did but now my central locking wont work

Broke my whole panel trying to get it out, just snapped right in half by the vents

What is this thing called which he is holding at 6:10 ? I want to buy this for my car

why did he remove the whole console u can just remove the lighter part

Wait how do you keep your keyless entry then?

Why didn’t you use orange??

Ok

Honestly u don't have to take the concel out

I can't believe they made it so you have to take the whole center console out wtf I changed my battery and need to remove the radio to get my serial #

It doesn’t work on a 2000?

Didnt have to remove all that stuff bro just remove where the charger plug in goes and the rest is easy

SOUNDTRACK horrendous.// GENRE boy im still trying to identify.../ DETAILED INSTALL VID good
