not plug and play and you will need an adapter for your steering wheel controls as well as a dash kit to make it look right with your dash. if your doing it all yourself i HIGHLY recommend crutchfield.com or best buy but i see your in Canada and i dont think we have any stores up there.

Cool!
What do you mean by the adapter? is it visible? or mounted behind the dash?
Yes we have bestbuy and i can order online at crutchfield.com or that honda link that every one buys honda parts from. That radio trip piece , where did you get it? and did it come in matching colour or glossy carbon fiber?

 

[bobshur]

You need an axxis steering wheel adaptor,or the controls won't work.Axxis is what I used.the metra dash kit is nice also,crutchfield included it with mine for free.

 

[bobshur]

It goes inside the dash

The ASWC-1 adapts the aftermarket radio for oem steering wheel AND hands free controls. But your aftermarket radio has to have bluetooth capability

 

[soundforgenine]

Just to clarify, are you saying you are using this unit with full functionality of all steering wheel controls including bluetooth? I have really wanted an aftermarket unit but everything I was reading said you lose hands free features.

 

[bobshur]

You lose Bluetooth hands free, but most quality h/u have a great Bluetooth. I don't miss it at all.

 

[jtittle7317]

If you use ASWC-1, in the programming instructions step 6, let's you program hands free oem controls-specifically for the 2012-2013 civic ( as long as your aftermarket radio has bluetooth)
