Upgrading factory stereo from a 2017 Honda Accord LX to Honda OEM carplay stereo?
Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is doing okay with the pandemic going on. I had a project in mind and I wanted to know your suggestions, tips, ideas, anything that could help. I have a 2017 Honda Accord LX with the standard stereo (no touchscreen) and wanted to purchase a EX variant of the stereo (touchscreen-car play) version from eBay to install in my car. Is this something that is doable? I made a grave mistake by settling for the LX - the carplay technology is simply amazing. Please let me know what you guys think and how I can go about starting this project if its doable. I understand it won't be a direct plug and play type of thing and I will need to change the frame to fit and may need additional harnesses .. let me know what you guys think.
Thank you

I'll share schematics with you for the 2017 model year with both trim levels so you can compare the schematics.
