420Coupe, since youve got extensive build knowledge on the r18, whats the best one could hope for with a NA r18 setup and just how much would it likely cost?
ive yet to take apart the rear disc on a civic, but the accords and crvs ive worked on both have the mechanical drum, so i dont see why not for the 8th
skip to around 2:10 to see the rotor come off exposing the e brake mechanism, ignore the guy drilling out the rotor screws
but when you rip the e-brake youre actuating the actual drum brake on cars without rear disc. Rear disc hondas ive seen have a mechanical drum brake inside the hub of the disc that the e-brake is linked to so i kinda question the brake force determination based on e-brake force
i think if you follow the PAC directions for including the bluetooth wires your ASWC should be able to understand the inputs, it just might need to be manually programmed
PAC says it can do both on the 9th gen by exactly my theoretical method

Im basing my theory on the fact that the PAC claims to be able to do it on the 8th gen, just by putting the two + wires from the bluetooth and the audio controls into the input and grounding the other end, if the PAC can differentiate the signals, i dont see why the ASWC cant do the same, it...
do you have any information on how the steering wheel buttons are wired, you might be able to cheat, since the Metra and the equivalent PAC look for variances in voltage or resistance on the input wire. If you find the two wires associated with the bluetooth buttons, ground the appropriate wire...
Thanks, i think my summer transformation is done and the car is set for the next 6 years/100,000 miles
Im still waiting on new fogs and have been looking at some led bulb possibilities but i think the car is finally where i want it
