Can my standard headunit be changed?
 
Im from Uk (England) and own a Honda Accord CL7.

I was wondering if it is possible to change the headunit. Im assumingthat thewhole dash would need to be removed? Am iright in saying this?



Let me know

Thanks

Faz

Yes.. please search as there are many threads on this (i just searched for "headunit" as one word and found the answer you were looking for at least 15 times)

A quick answer to your question is yes, the headunit can be changed.
You do not have to remove the dash. The old unit comes out, and the new unit goes in place of the old unit. If you buy online, you should buy from a place (such as crutchfield) that will give you an installation kit with instuctions. I replaced one on one of my Mustangs by myselfwhen I was 16 years old.

on the newer accords the dash does need to be removed, as well as a dash kit replaced if you want it to house in the existing dash location the OEM headunit sits... otherwise there is a bay kit you can buy but imo looks tacky.

all options are detailed in this thread: https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/m_73427/tm.htm

you can also check the gallery link in my SIG (not on the profile section of HAF, I haven't uploaded all my images as of yet) to see my installed radio..
It took me literally 30-45 minutes to do the entire swap, most of it was soldering the new wiring harness.

Dang that sucks bad!
Sorry for the misinformation I gave above.
Leave it toHonda to make a job that should be easy to do a royal PITA.

It's not too bad compared to a few rides i've changed radios in... it all comes apart elegantly, so it's ok...
