Hi guys, I'm just about 80% done with my install process. I got the CRV headunit plugged in & it operates to the screen where I have to put in the anti-theft code. Well I followed everyone's instruction where I plug in my VIN & the serial # on the CRV unit to the website MyGarage. The problem is when I hit submit, I get stuck on the next page where it says "Data Loading" - it just stays on that page. Anyone have a workaround to get the anti-theft code?

EDIT: Ok I got a code to display from the website. I just followed instructions for this old reddit forum and it worked.


EDIT2: Ok so I buttoned up everything and it works! Thank you everyone for the resource! My last hiccup during this process was trying to get the radio updated for CarPlay but I kept getting a USB error. I must have used 5 different USB flash drives formatted in Fat32, ExFat, or different bitrates but I finally tried one last step and found a solution! Instead of using the armrest USB slot, I tried the front console and it magically prompted the update & didn't give me the error. shrug Nonetheless, I wasn't satisfied with the quality of 3D print on the SLT file to fill out the gap. I'll try a 3rd party 3D-printing service for higher quality or continue my search for a 2013 trim with carbon fiber bezel. Cheers everyone!

Idk if anyone can tell but I feel this screen is somewhat pixelated compared to the stock unit. Or it’s me since I put a newer version of CarPlay on my girls car and that has crisper images

Yeah I'm seeing more pixelations on certain screens like the 'Now Playing' screen when I'm in CarPlay. But it seems to be fine when I'm on Waze app or CarPlay menu.

I'm a bit confused on how you got your headunit to sit flush with your bezel. What faceplate are you using to mount to the bezel? I'm looking for 3D printing solutions to fill in the gap but you got a nice clean setup.

I had to order this one from Honda 77250-TR7-C11ZA

It’s a hefty price. It includes the bezel.

Oh man I was afraid that was it haha. I think I'll give it a couple more weeks of searching around before I pull that trigger. Thanks!
