SWAP 2012 HONDA CIVIC LX RADIO TO 2015 CIVIC EX TOUCHSCREEN

[Myles Smith]

Want to know if anybody could guide me down the right path in swapping my lx 12 civic radio for a 2014-2015 civic ex radio with the touchscreen. I want to know what is all required, how long it may take, i can easily find a radio or order one with the vin. also want to know what all features i will lose or is there a way retain all features (bluetooth).

NOTE: In Bahamas so will have to use a freight forwarder to order parts( i own a shipping company this is easy).

Additionally i did some research i see the 2015 radio has the same connectors as the 2012 lx radio. But the hvac isnt on the 2012 radio. Would i then have to just remove the hvac and place this whole set up into it?

what's your dash/radio look like? Pic? I don't know if you get the same model the US/Canada gets or not. There are even some differences between the US/Canada radio/hvac. You'll likely not be able to get a correct answer unless you find someone else with your exact setup in your region. About 99% of the people here all live in the US. Then there are differences between the premium radio with amplifier and the non amplified radio. Plus the differences in the # of speakers between trims. Honestly, it'd probably be easier to just swap an aftermarket radio in your car if you're not happy with yours.

there is some wiring info in this thread for various trims/harness plugs, but note that these are for the US trims.

Vehicle came from the us. Best picture i got at the moment its at the body shop. I really want to put a factory touch screen in it. I just came across the 2013 radio

I think you’ll find all over the forum that users advise going aftermarket for more/better functionality. some info about 14/15 ex radios in the lx.
