Newbie with Civic FD2 head unit replacement

[Bw1683]

Hi,

I am new to ozhonda and have been searching to replace the stock cd stacker.

Looking to get a double din unit and also retain the steering wheel controls, what parts would I need?

Thank you.

a double din headunit and a pac steering wheel controller adaptor or something along those lines...
Budget?
Have you gone to a local audio shop and had a look at headunits you may like?

My budget is around 750 for all the component...

I have spoken to some audio shop and they gave me different information. One told me to have a PAC interface & a CAMBUS kit that allows the PAC interface to talk to the car and the other one just said a PAC interface.

Which one is correct?

I honest don't know... I've never had a car with steering wheel controls, nor have I read much about them :s
Sorry, I'm probably not much help in this situation >.>

you can get a decent new Pioneer 2 din with GPS for around $600+..and the rest DIY....afaik you only need a PAC..never heard of the CAMBUS

you might want to replace your fronts to split type aswell....and add an amp later on.

Parts you needed:

2 din HU (stay away from those generic cheap 2 din HU from ebay)
FD Facia Kit
PAC
Stereo Harness( so you dont need to splice your stock harness)
