RB1 Centre Console

[H_T_J_A]

Can someones show me how to remove the centre console on the RB1. i wanna see if i can fit a double din in which flush mount like some of the jap-spec one (not the one that stick out). I know they are clip on, just not sure where are the clip.
Cheers

Can't help you there mate, mine was removed by the audio installer.

You got a pic of what you mean by 'double din in flush mount"?

[AusAccord]

i'm also interested to see pics of the "double din in flush mount" u are having. as far as i know, Honda only made one double din unit for RB1 and Alpine has a single din unit. unless u are having the original TV/Nav system fm either Japan or China (as below).

anyhow, herewith 2 photos show how to remove the original top console and will be a bonus if u can read chinese. good luck and DIY ftw

Thanks.

looks like i need to start charging consultation fee for all RB1 DIY diagrams/procedures......

[St33p]

thank you very much!
maybe burn all of the instruction to a CD and sell them? :D

[AusAccord]

nah.... glad i can assist all RB1 owners DIY

[evolution]

and that's why we cal you god of RB1.....

[AusAccord]

haha.....god doesn't need money but i'm damn broke......

btw, no one want a set of Aluminum door lock pin for RB1?

[H_T_J_A]

Thanks GOD OF RB1 (AusAccord), i'm not worthy :D, sorry to mislead you guys, i wanted to remove the centre console like in the pics AusAccord posted for me, and see if i can modify it so i can fit a standard double din DVD player (not sure which one yet, may be a pioneer like the one in my lexy). I already have two 7" headrest DVD players for second row seats, and a 9" roofmount for third row one.

[AusAccord]

nice RB1 u r having. not much u can do tbh without the Honda Double Din kit unless totally customs brackets. u can modify the original to fit the single din flip headunit but well nothing is impossible. have fun!!

[H_T_J_A]

that's what i was thinking, fabricate what ever need to be to accommodate the double din, or at least a single slide out one. I'm just not really keen on the factory double din bracket (just sit out too much for my liking). will let you guys know how i went once i have time to play with it. Cheers

[evolution]

Even if you where able to squeeze a 2DIN unit into the compartment, I think it would be very difficult to reach the touch screen, that's why the factory 2DIN frame sits so much more out on the dash.

You can try this from alpine

I believe it is just a single DIN and there is a opening at the top for the original LCD screen

[evolution]

Can't find any better pics, but this yahoo Japan sale shows how it is mounted

What's the first picture? You bought your headrest & roof mount monitors from the same seller that i bought mine as well but different model, i don't like the zipper one. I'm gonna fit 2 head units in my odyssey. A single din head unit using the Alpine 1-din kit for SQ and my JVC DVD head unit using double din console kit to play movies. Hopefully i can install them today or tomorrow.

hi guys, was wondering if anyone is rocking this type centre console where the screen is kinda like sunken in instead of sticking out?

http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1249/console1zi9.jpg

if I can get someone to strip off one off a jdm rb1 would it be just plug and play into our cars? i guess the whole stereo interface and gps will be in japanese but is there a way to get it to work in english with AU maps? i would like to keep the external display to look like that and not really care about how the internal works? thanks!!

[Atjo]

I'm not sure if it's plug & play but you need to find out if the GPS loads the map from a DVD. If yes, you can try the AU version & see if it's work.

[AusAccord]

pretty sure its plug and play but you will never get GPS works in English, play DVD other than under Japan Region Code, unable to access the hard-drive (where GPS from). The best bet is you can get it to read from memory card then play music. Am sure you can get confirmation of what i said from Odyssey Club Malaysia or Singapore Honda Club.

[Mobil1]

hey guys thanks for the reply... i was thinking even if the gps and dvd module is in jap, do you reckon its possible to hook up an aftermarket aussie console to the lcd, or even replacing the lcd all together with an aftermarket and just hook the sound up as AUX and control the console from remote or touchscreen, and just control the sound just like how you would no a stock setup.
basically externally it looks like the photo but the internals are all aftermarket, and dont need to change the dash control knobs either. i've read some people put their dvd player and gps under the seat. thanks guys..!

[AusAccord]

as far as i know, Chinese made a whole setup system plug and play with external module. they used to sell them on ebay and can't remember how much it cost. personally i have not seen and experienced it before. my first idea was retrofit a 7" LCD touch screen GPS with music and movie player onto the position you posted but its too far for "touching" screen. JDM having RCA AUX from the center table for displaying but unluckily our AUDM only having 3.5mm jack.

in modding industry, everything is possible as its a matter of money/values of money.... happy modding!!

[evolution]

I think the unit was selling for 1k

[Mobil1]

yeah guys, i think the chinese setup you're talking about is the same as an instruction someone posted about removing the dash or something. It comes witht he screen, panel and this dvd unit that sits at the bottom of where the cd changer goes. and it doesnt require the middle controls to be changed... hmm.. will give it some thought as the guy currently only wants to sell it if i take the entire set up and refuse to sell just the top portion unless someone comes around and buys the lower part..

but again, thanks alot for your input!!

[AusAccord]

^^ you really want to modify the OEM screen works? here is one selling on YAJ that i found for yr reference, its JPY 37,000........

Hi Roy, found this on carsales and its the only one in AUS have this system http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=8872112&__sid=122EFC10F265&__Qpb=true&Cr=7&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal |1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__N=1216%201247%201282%201252%204294965322%2042949 64926%204294927482%20898&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=67&silo=1011

its the system u want and believe its from China

[Atjo]

Andy, the one from YAJ and the on that car, the position of the clock is different on each other isn't it? I think for touch screen is a bit too far.

[AusAccord]

yes u are correct. different side of driving between Japan and China. i think its far for touch screen as well and thats why i drop my own idea as stated before

its good to see someone actually did that on AUDM RB1

[evolution]

^^^ Andy, feel like making an appointment with the seller to view car so that we can have a play with the system...hahahhaa.

[AusAccord]

haha never thought abt that

Hi
I have 2005 Odyssey. The central upper radio/clock//audio display panel backlight has failed. I can still see LED display is working OK.
Have you any information on if it is possible to replace LED backlight or do I need to replace whole display unit?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Nmb

[evolution]

Easier to go to a wreckers and get the display unit IMO. Should be plug and play

Are all displays (red or blue) compatible? If so how much? How hard are they to change over -could not see any screws to remove dash panels around display?
What is price?
Nmb

[AusAccord]

Hi Aus,

From where I can get double din fascia you posted?

My Honda Odyssey 2006 and fascia below:29347

[nmb]

Hi
I got one from a wrecker via EBay $55
Good luck
Nmb

[KevinM]

Australia Ebay?

[evolution]

I think both nmb and KevinM are getting mixed signals....

KevinM was looking for the JDM 2DIN facia which I beleive he has got in contact with AusAccord

nmb was looking for the digital display for the standard radio which he got from the wreckers via ebay

Correct me if I am wrong.

[KevinM]

100% correct evolution I got the fascia kit from AusAccord, very lucky save me a lot of time.

Now I am looking for someone her in Sydney who can install the whole GPS system include the facia kit for me.

AusAccord posted a lot of helpful information.

Any idea who might be:idea:
