hi
does anyone know if a 2008 honda civics audio system can be upgrade in australian vehicles?

i have searched the internet and i found that there is one available in china for a Honda Civic 2008 which includes built in GPS, Bluetooth, IPod, and 2GB SD card and dvd player but it is designed for left hand drive vehicles.

i just thought someone might have got one of these or knows someone who has one or knows whether they are available in righthand drive.
i would prefer to get it through honda or an accredited after market dealer of audio systems and get it fitted properly with a guarantee

some help would be much appreciated

some photos are attached of the unit12913

looks pretty nice. u could probably head down to ur honda dealer and ask if they can get u something like that for ur car. although, if they are able to do it, expect it to cost a bucket load

i too am interested in such a headunit, much better use of dashboard space that a standard double din one.

yeh OEM honda offers something liek that, at a price though. Look around a bit - you only really need the double din faceplate

wow that looks really good..who do you think can install these things aside from your average Honda dealer? Auto electricians?

yes it does

well does anyone know where it would be available from?
it doesnt look very OEM so i doubt it would be available from a honda dealer, but what do i know.

sound like a better idea. i just cant find any head units or mounting plates for righthand drive here in australia or on any websites
