How to Replace Head Unit Radio Honda Civic 2001-2005 EASY!

Today we are showing you how to put in a new head unit radio for a Honda Civic between the years of 2001-2005. I believe this will also apply to the same years Accord as they use the same panel to hold the radio in. Thank you so much for watching!

For anyone doing a DIY- don’t pull the cigarette lighter connector out like that. There’s a little tab underneath the connector that you press and then you can just pull it with a firm tug by hand.

I really don't like the OEM Honda radio. Especially in an age where everything is bluetooth. Thank you for showing how easy this is

FYI, only the 2003-5 models require removal of the center console to install the stereo. 2000-02 do not.

For those with the manual transmission 7th gen civics, I followed this video exactly EXCEPT i skipped the removal of the shifter panel and started at 1:24 instead. Maybe you can remove the plastic trim panel for the manual transmission, but I felt that if I kept forcing it I would have ended up breaking something.

Doing this allows you to gain access to every other step, you just kinda have to swivel the panel around the manual shifter for the initial steps.

Thanks a lot for this video. Out of the 10 or so videos I watched before replacing the stereo in my 2003 Honda Civic this one was the best in terms of clarity (no just the sound or video quality but the quality of the step by step instructions). I just replaced my OEM head unit with Pioneer AVH NEX-1400 with a back-up camera. Enjoying it so far. Thanks again!

Fantastic video! This was the first time I ever did anything like this to my car. Thanks so much for the in-depth video.

Thank you so much for this video! Had to replace my son’s unit today and this walkthrough was on-point!

I used the same radio. The AXV 1000 - a newer model with backup camera feature. I liked how clean the unit looked. Honda seems to be a pain doing any av work but workable.

If this video has taught me one thing, it's that I need a body panel remover...

Thank you for giving exact measurements. That helped me so very much with my aftermarket unit that I also got second hand. Cheers :)

Thanks for the video, pretty helpful. Though at least in my manual 2002 EM I can more easily remove just the cigarette lighter panel with a little wiggling rather than mess with the shifter trim. Once the suggested trim arrives I will be all set

gonna hopefully be changing my radio tomorrow and this video will definitely be helpful

[shotgun]

Wish me luck, I'm watching the video since I gott'a attack this chore for my daughter's Civic tomorrow!

[dalailama]

[Hannanananananananana]

[rbwok]

Excellent video, just wish I had the patience and guts to try.

Do you know where I can purchase the replacement parts for the center console (around gear shift) bezels for Civic 2003? In replacing the audio system with the one you have shown here, I need to replace those parts as they are damaged. I will be grateful if you could send me a link to any store taht may sell these bezels.

Thankyou for the video! Just changed mine this evening. The two bolts at the bottom were a bit tricky to get out but the rest went easy. 👍🏻
