Installing an aftermarket stereo in a 2006 honda civic dx?

I have a 2006 honda civic dx (Canada). I'm wanting to install a new deck so I can plug my phone into it for music, instead of have to using annoying CD's all the time. I don't really know what I need other than having to buy a radio dash kit so that I can actually install a deck into. Is there other cables I would need? Where would I find these items for a fair price?

The first thing you'll need is the dash mounting kit. Scosche makes these in factory-matched colors: the model number is HA1561 followed by the color code, so HA1561DGB is dark gray, HA1561ETB is taupe, and HA1561BMB is dark blue. (Metra also makes kits for this vehicle, part number 99-7871 or 99-7871T, but they don't offer a kit in blue--only gray or taupe).

In addition to the mounting kit, you'll need a wire harness adapter (Metra 70-1722) and antenna adapter (40-HD10).

Search online for the best prices.

Before you start, though, look down in the small alcove under the radio (where your cigarette lighter outlet is located) and see if there's an auxiliary jack that looks like a small headphone jack. Most 2006+ Civics that I've seen have this feature, and if it's there it will let you play your phone through the stock radio.

  • Will installing LED lights on my NEW 2015 Honda Civic void the warranty? Ok so, about 2 weeks ago I picked up a BRAND NEW '15 Civic from my local dealer, and some bulbs on my car are LED others are not. I was wondering that if I switched all my lights to LED if that would void the warranty/extended warranty? Being that the lights are "aftermarket". And also, can I use regular LED bulbs or do they have to be "CANBUS Compatible?" LED bulbs
