I recommend putting one of these in with double sided tape - see what I did. It allows you to use your existing bluetooth connection to the car (imid, controls still work), plus gives you a carplay screen. It sits perfectly on the flapdoor of the little storage under the climate control.

crutchfield.com put in your car and see what head units will work. For compatibility, once you select the head unit you want, they will input all the extra cables and such you'll need.

This thread will use an OEM radio from a CRV that imo looks the best and ensures compatability without all the extra stuff needed from non OEM

 

Welcome and congrats on the Si! Yes, double DIN head units are compatible with the 9th Gen Civic, but you’ll need a few extras:

• Wiring harness + interface to retain the OEM backup and LaneWatch cameras (Metra or iDatalink make good kits).
• Dash kit for proper fit and finish.
• Possibly a relay or module to trigger the LaneWatch camera correctly with your new head unit.

Plenty of folks have done this swap—definitely doable with the right gear. Looking forward to seeing your setup

 

I would go with the latest 2K resolution 9.5-inch display Android head unit from Mekede or Navifly brand. They require a CAN bus interface box to work with the steering wheel controls and lane switch cameras. Also, these are slim 0-DIN head units that plug directly into the factory wiring harness.

 

i’ve had this question for such a long time as i
added a lot of music into my car, the stock head unit gave me such a bad buzzing noise. i’ve turned the double din but i really didn’t like it plus you’ll need a lot of extra harnesses to make it work. o recommend going on ali express and buying the anavi one it’s great has no issues and everything is plug and play

 

Welcome and congrats on the Si!

Do not buy cheap units from aliexpress or eBay. Your asking for issues, whether immediate or down the line. I recommend Kenwood products(I have the DMX809S) as they are reliable and well built. But honestly any double din from alpine, jvc, pioneer, Kenwood should be good

 

never had a issue with my ali express radio
