What Webby said above, it is not a simple task, and please do not do that. No one should disable the safety features that prevent distracted driving. Read the current news about that horrible accident in Texas in which the 20-something admitted to texting while driving when he went over the...

When I had my 2013 Civic coupe, that same rear seat belt holder started rattling within one week of buying the car. Honda replaced it under warranty, which corrected most of the rattles in the rear of the car.

I believe the factory amp is mounted next to the steering wheel column under the lower dash panel.

Unless you want to spend over $2K for the Honda OEM Navi, and other related parts..GPS antenna, XM radio tuner, etc. I don't know what year/trim your Civic is, but Honda OEM head units are over $2K, so aftermarket is definitely cheaper.

No, you must replace the head unit if you want navi.

I don't believe there is a plug and play option with harnesses. My install was performed by cutting up the factory wiring at the harness going into and out of the factory amp. A stereo shop did the install.

The 2013 Civic EX Coupe has the premium audio system. To verify, since you do not have Navi, there will be a center mounted subwoofer in the rear deck. The 2013 Navi models said 'Premium Audio System' above the CD slot on the stereo. I don't know if the non-Navi stereos said 'Premium Audio...

Since you have an Si with the 'Premium Audio System' and the awful factory external amplifier, your quick installation using the audio signal directly from the factory subwoofer is less than ideal. It may have been easy and less expensive, but you are not getting a true hi-level signal from the...

As Webby said, your Civic EX-L Sedan has the standard stereo, without the external amp. It has hi-level speaker outputs. Use a line-out converter and any aftermarket amp of your choice. Many amps will also accept the hi-level input directly, so your choice. The only sedan that offers the...

The gasoline Civic achieves over 40 MPG now on the highway, and that is better MPG than the CR-Z.

When I did my research two years ago, I only found select JL Audio and select Infinity amps that featured differential balanced inputs. I don't know if more brands have now started to offer that feature. You have to read the specs carefully to find out. I chose the JL Audio amp because of the...

The biggest problem was trying to re-create the extremely popular Civic CRX in the 80s, but they botched it with an over-priced hybrid that resulted in lackluster fuel efficiency compared to current vehicles on the road, and the original CRX that it tried to re-create. The CRX-HF model achieved...

I know it is an old post, from almost a year ago, but I don't visit too often anymore. To answer your question, correct, I got rid of my Civic in February 2015. I traded it in for a 2015 Nissan Altima SL, and love it. I get over 40 mpg on straight highways and average 35 mpg city/hwy, which...

The total was $2,010. That was for the amp, component speakers, coaxial speakers, subwoofer, custom subwoofer box, amp wiring, dynamat in the entire trunk, rear deck, around the door speakers, and installation for all of it. It sounded awesome, especially with retaining the factory head unit...

If Honda is still using the same crappy-*** amp with the same wiring diagram, then yes, it would work.

Contact this guy on eBay, acurahondaexpert, and he can probably get you the 24-pin male harness connector to plug into the harness off the stereo that would plug into the factory amp. He would also be able to get the harness pins and attach wiring to them to make your own breakout connector. I...

Of course those do not work either. There are no aftermarket stereos that connect to factory features. The only thing you can do is buy a steering wheel control adapter to use the factory buttons on the steering wheel. Nothing else will work. You lose the audio information on the i-MID, no...

Shop around and read reviews. No one can choose a head unit for you, because we do not know what you like as far as design, specific features (besides Nav, Bluetooth, and Sirius), etc. Pioneer and Alpine both make great head units, so browse those models and choose one with the features you...

You don't need to ask the same question in multiple posts. Don't wast your time. Adding a free-air sub in the rear deck will not improve the sound quality or add any bass.

Don't waste your time. Honda's so-called 'Premium Audio System' with the external amp and subwoofer is a complete joke. The free-air sub in the rear deck does absolutely nothing, and you cannot even hear or feel any bass from it. The amp in the EX/Si Civic destroys the sound quality because...
