too bad this dont work with 2013 si navi

Really? Damn I was thinking of doing this to mine.

 

[liljusepy]

Is that only with nav for the 13? So it'll work on a non-nav then?

 

[HFPSI13]

Her ya go.

1) Lowest brightness setting
2) Another Lowest Brightness setting
3) Middle Brightness setting
4) Highest Brightness setting

 

[squiggy]

I am thinking about putting a red bulb in mine to make it a nice dark subtle red (hopefully) and minimize the brightness.

dude i have to start off by saying pauly for president.

i must continue on to ask how the hell does ANYONE drive on full brightness at night? i keep mine like 2 notches darker than the second pic so that comparison is SUPER helpful. anything above that the glare off the windshield from the light on the crowl falls right in my line of viewing the reach of my headlights

I keep mine one below highest setting at night. I love the red glow. However, there is a huge difference between highest setting and one notch below. The highest night setting is equal to the daytime brightness with DRLs on. Too bright for night

How did you find the lighting settings through the iMid?

I made it myself......http://9thcivic.com/forum/threads/paulys-youre-my-boy-blue.6598/page-8#post-162184

There is one available though, but I found it expensive. http://www.proclipusa.com

That's the phone mount I want to get. Haven't bought it yet because of price as well

Hmm the switch I got is not an exact fit. I was able to make it work by taking the mounting frame off of the old switch and put it on the new. The Thailand switch is different than the other one people are using. When you flip the physical switch in the bracket it lines up and angles correctly, but the triangle is upside down. Not a big deal but just an FYI to anyone who goes this route. Really kinda bummed....

Well that's rather unfortunate. I've had one sitting and waiting to be installed. I guess I won't be installing it after all. Are we 100% sure it won't fit on a '13 with Nav?
