hey guys, I've post this on a new thread but I think I'll post it here again... :p
anyway, I want to know if anyone has opinion on installing Double Din on CU2. The compartment near the gear (like in CL9) seems a bit smaller than in CL9. But in the Lux Navi mode, they put a CD/DVD slot there. do you think a 7" DD will fit there?
thanks heaps
still haven't done anything about the dvd/gps i wanted. lol
Might be a stupid question, but here, are the yellow plugs....where you plug the harness into? So i wont have to somehow get BEHIND the current HU?

hey guys, really new here. my first post actually.
Probably a noob question for you guys.
i got an '04 euro without sat nav. i want to put a Single DIN pop out in the bottom box console, from the pics i can see in this thread most of you have Double DIN's,
My main concern is that on the Ryda website and from ones i have seen the single facia's stereo hole are on top and im worried when the screen pops out it will hit the air con/heater controls.
Is this going to happen? Is there any where i can get a facia for a bottom mount setup up? this should put the pocket on top rather then on bottom.
cheers
VTEC lover. lol
Yeah I think so.. Lochstar_69 to my knowledge there is only one model from Kenwood that can flip out far enough without hitting the Volume and AC Dials, But I dont remember which model it is..
Ask TGZ80Y he used to have the Kenwood dech in his Euro like that..
Oh really. yeh i really want to get one that mounts the head unit on the bottom.
if anyone knows where i can get one made or something it would be really helpful.
Cheers guys really enjoying these forums they are really insightful.
Love the Euro, by far better than falcons or commonwhores (commodores) :P
hey lochstar, i have TGZ80Y's euro now, with the kenwood flipout on the top of the facia, it misses the dials perfectly. im also goin double din soon and getting rid of this setup, facia and all if ur interested.Quote:

looks great man. i just ordered a double din yum-cha model from ebay. How did you go with the wiring setup? Did you use the aux cable with the double din facia from honda or make up your own like most installs here?
cheers
heya thanks for the complimentsQuote:

engine is off. i tried grounding it better (very thick grounding cable, sanded of the pain, added a second cable from the battery to the body even ran a secondary ground cable to the negative terminal) but i cant seem to get rid
of the humming noise. i can hear the indicators and even the breaks through the amp speakers. help need b4 i go mad
not quite sure whats happening there but when i installed my aftermarket head unit....i taped into the speaker wired hoping that i could run buth units (ofcourse one at a time) but even with one running and the other one off i got this static sound so i just choped my speaker wires and connected it to the aftermarket unit.
i wired new speaker cables to my speakers and ran new RCA cables to the amp. i was told RCA cables can cause this but these were mid price range sony RCA which shouldnt cause this.
any ideas on what else i could try?
guys need some help here. wired up my OEM and new 7" dvd screen in parallel. As i tested, the OEM worked fine, but as soon as i turned on the 7", everything went dead. I disconnected the 7" and still nothing on the OEM. have lost radio and HVAC controls. Checked fuses and the radio 20A fuse is still intact. where do i check next?
cheers
just put up some pre-install pics over here:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...t=83611&page=4
all sorted now, the fuse that trips first when there is a short is the dome interior light fuse. replaced that and its all good now.
cheers
really, wouldnt have guessed that. i wonder how the dome lights are connected electrically to the unit.
to be honest with you....im actualli realli scared of blowing fuses as i never have any spares and i hate looking for the right fuse. thats why i will always disconect the bateries when i work on these sorta stuff. =p the first time i installed an aftermarket head unit in my mums ford falcon i blew lik 4 different fuses and being a noob bak then i didnt kno, centerconsole, interior lights, power windows and a few more all went dead. took the car to jb-hifi and the guy takes a loook and he just laughed at me :o lol....oh well i have learnt my lesson :)Quote:

all good now though.
I accidentally wired up the wrong wire for batt +ve. It is the pink wire for future reference, not the yellow one (this is for the interior lights, hence the blown fuse). :thumbsup:Quote:

any more ideas before this turns me bald???
how is your amp grounded? By in my younger years, there used to be a product called the ground loop isolator which removed some noise. also, old school condensor caps sometimes also worked, though don't know how effective they are with modern car electrical systems :-)
also, there is nothing wrong with being bald :cool:
Ive currently got a pair of focals 165vb component speakers (65mm depth and 6.5inch width) which are hitting the frame of the door and was wondering if neone ideas if i can fit them in with just a spacer and not hit inner door trim.
or would i have tin snip the door, or would i have to shave the inner door plastic inorder to fit them in..
if neones that has done this before, plz let me know cuz i know Eurosteves done it but not sure how exactli how he did it since his pics are down
best way i found to get rid of the engine noise was the line in converter i have a stinger converter which converts the high frequency inputs to RCA inputs for the amplifier. this eliminated all disturbances i had from the speakers. along with real good groundings.
ebay has a wide selection of spacers that fit in perfectly, i got mines from ebay america. cost me less then $15 shipped hereQuote:

thanks hish i know u can get spacers from ebay but just wanted to know before i by all teh spacers and stuff if the speakers gonna fit in between teh door trim and the door itself cuz atm.. i need something like a 25+mm spacer im scared its gonna stick out too much that the door trims not gonna fit back in.. if so mite have to grind the doorQuote:

well i put in alpine type r speakers and they fitted in well. they were a deep set of speakers esp when placed next to stock. im sorry but i dont have the box to give u dimensions but im sure it could be found online. maybe just buy a pair of the mdf spacer from jb, there like $10 for the pair n try it b4 u order in proper spacers
i just bought the double din fascia part (08B06-SDE-700) and have yet to have a chance to look at it properly and install it...
I was wondering if i could use the supplied BUS cable as a link from the AUX port on the original and wire it up to my new head unit so I dont have to play around with the original wiring harness?
already tried it following the pinouts. I could get power but no audio. The BUS has some circuitry that needs to activate it, you simply cannot connect speaker outputs to get it going, hence why everyone seems to use the AUX adaptors for audio through the AUX port.
cheers
Hi, I have bought Pioneer Double Din Touch screen (http://www.ryda.com.au/Pioneer-AVH-P...vhp3150dvd.htm) and the Honda fitting kit. I have done a trial fit & everything looks great. The problem is that I am confused about wiring it up. I would rather bypass the factory headunit and thought that I could use this wiring harness (http://www.ryda.com.au/ProductDetail...P1720&CartID=1). I already have a Neo Prolink v2 Ipod kit that has aux inputs, but I was worried about the loss of sound quality & the added complexity. Can anyone give me some advice. My nearest installer gave me a blank look when I asked him about this.
Thanks
Personally i'd go to a decent installer.Not worth saving a few bucks DIYQuote:

I just don't fully understand the ramifications of each choice.
Can anyone help please??
Hey mate, had the same prob with my 06 accord euro, I was going to get the single din fascia for the lower pocket, changed my mind and ended up getting the single din kit that replaces where your stacker is currently, looks factory, minus the player haha. i tried it myself but as Tony123 said, best bet is to go into a stereo shop and ask for a quote on it, it wouldn't be too expensive though. I'm up for 2k just for my stereo installation!, but for me when it comes to extremely expensive things that are easy to break/damage I'd rather pay a bit of money and get it done right the first time. Good luck anyway, but yeah hit some quotes up, pays to shop around. Cheers
This might be more of an ICE thing, but i owed so much from this thread..thought it'd be appropriate if i post pics here :D
Finally got everything set up..got the OEM double din fascia from Honda like EUroSteve said (2 installers were actually surprised when i told them it exists).. and got myself an end of year present:
- JVC double DIN KW-XR816
- Alpine Type R component speakers
- PDX-5 amps
- Type S 12" sub in a ported box

Really liking the clean look to the JVC double DIN. And ya...it sounds brilliant :)
Next step I'm thinking of is Dynamats. Can anyone say if it REALLY does make a difference on Euros? We've got pretty good sound dampening already..but any info if you've got them on would be great
Nice.. I thought the JVC you bought is the JVC DVD monitor like mine. Dynamat will make huge difference especially if you have good component speaker and it will reduce the rattling noise when you crank up the sub.
Thanks. Dont think i've seen your setup Atjo..if youve got a link to it thatd be good.
I was pretty close to getting DVD display, but the positioning down there and being near the stick shift.. I went for a normal reciever instead. Wouldnt really be able to enjoy a display. I've been a passenger in my car maybe only once a year :D
Yup, next step..maybe make a project of installing the dynamat myself
Mine is on post #56 and link to my audio setup on my euro: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...alled-(UPDATED)
Hi Eurogo
Could you post some pics of your fitout please?
Would love to see the full fascia
Many thanks
hey jacklandsford, send me ur email in a PM n ill email u the pics :) cheers
oh and speed racer, my 05 lux has sound deadening all through it, dash around tweeters, doors all through x 4 doors, rear parcel tray has 2 layers of dynamat (still rattles when absolutely pumping but bass cancels rattles out haha) and also my boot has dynamat in certain areas also. dynamat is def a worthy investment. i cant stress how much better your sterio and driving experience will be with it!. Even with the stereo off driving in silence is alot more quiet with the dynamat, less road noise etc. I can have my stereo on 28 out of 30 max, with all windows up, and people on the outside can only just hear the music through the doors, boot sounding like its about to jump off n run is another story haha. but yea dynamat= WIN!
Hi guys. Looking at a 7' Soundtream Double din unit at the moment and was thinking if it would fit the honda oem double din fascia. Anyone know the dimensions of the fascia?
Hey, there is a double DIN unit on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330776992...#ht_500wt_1288
oshiet gotta get me that
So does Honda Aus have any double din fascia's still in stock anywhere for a CL9 or is it only though eBay etc?
Give them a call
Hi guys, just thought to let you know, because I've been looking around still and this seems to be the main thread for double din installs. Aerpro have a new product for double din. which separates the CD player from the climate control unit.
http://www.aerpro.com.au/list.php?pc...FACIA&cat_sno=
Although I believe you will have to swap the OEM compartment with the fold up lid because the lid won't open/close properly. I think Metra is a supplier for Aerpro
http://metraonline.com/part/99-7803G
I've sent an e-mail to Aerpro to confirm about the compartment and let you know the outcome.
I assume this is the same unit on Amazon here. One of those three reviews doesn't sound promising :|Quote:

Just have to ring parts and quote the part number and see if its in stock! I got one ordered today ! :D
The Part number for Honda Accord Euro (non satnav dash) is 08B06-SDE-700
The Part number for Honda Accord Euro (satnav dash) is 08B06-SEA-700
Thanks for that mate! How much did you get yours for?
$86! just waiting for it to come up from Melbourne then the fun begins!
awesome gonna order mine next week too so when i decide on my unit i have this ready to go! nice work peteyyy post up some finished photos keen to see what you are going to do with yours
Will do! Just waiting back from Honda to tell me my parts are ready for pick up! which should be tomorrow, shouldn't take too long to mount and install the headunit. Keen for the install, burning CD's is getting old too quick for the stock CD stacker..
yea i know same problem here...burn cd then a new song comes out...have to start over, first world problems lol!
Does anyone have a DIY guide of how to make a T-harness using the Metra 70-1720 and Metra 70-1721?
and then connecting it to the aftermarket harness?
It would be very much appreciated.
Hey Petey did you your unit installed? I'm keen to see the outcome.
When wiring both the Metra cables together, do i need to do a 3 way splice from the female to the male harness and aftermarket harness?
sorry to bring up an old thread and again sorry if this question has been answered but can you get the storage compartment from a nav model (the one with the flap for satnav) and remove the flap and convert it to a double din?
I have the same question with fa_sumo and I'm like crazy to find the answer, please
Yes. That's what I did with my euro last time.
