Honda Fit Jazz radio removal and upgrade to Droid tablet screen

Рет қаралды 40,078

Жыл бұрын

Welcome back to ‪@AutoScholarwithMrB‬ ! Today we have this 2011 Honda Fit we are reconditioning, and the old radio has to go. I wanted to add something really nice to this one, so I found a Droid tablet screen radio on Amazon to put in. I will provide the link below!
Only issue I found is that the antenna adapter that came with the radio is incorrect for this car, so I ordered a different one and spliced it in. Everything works fine after that. The adapter I got will be linked below.
There are no instructions about the operation of the unit so I will not be of much help there. My suggestions are to figure it out as you go as I have.
These links below are Amazon affiliate links and the channel earns a small commission when you order from them. Thanks for the support!
Radio link: amzn.to/3obyZip
Apparently they have run out of the radios at the above link, this one looks to be identical and the price has dropped: amzn.to/47A6fkH
Antenna adapter link: amzn.to/41SSv0O

Just installed my kit and it was a breeze! Took me about 2-3 hours. This video was key! But overall very straightforward! Screen, apps, GPS, phone, microphone, WiFi, everything working! Thank you again!

Thank you so much for your vid, following your instructions I was able to install a carplay tablet to my 2010 Honda Jazz. Fortunately for me, I didn't need to buy any antenna adapter. The one I got from AliExpress fit in fine. It was smooth, took me an 1hr to do.

what is the name of the big adapter that connects the speakers and the current from the car?

The Kunfine radio I bought looks identical except for a Kunfine logo on the front. It came with 2 separate wiring plugs: one that fit and another for some other car? The antenna wire on the wiring plug that fit was also the wrong one, but I realized that the antenna wire on the other wiring plug fit perfectly and it was pretty simple to switch them around…

Even the radio is plug and play. Only thing I had to modify is the antenna adapter, which is listed in the Amazon links. You may not have to modify yours, so it’s good to check before you order everything. Thanks for watching!

How does the panel communicate with steering wheel controls? with cable? Thank you alot for your video :) best regards

Mine did not have audio controls, but there is a way to program the radio to accept the factory buttons. They do give you a small instruction book for the programming.

This is the video that convinces me to upgrade my 2010 stock radio. Question is, my Fit is a manual and looks identical to yours except it's not a "Jazz" model (that I know of). Should probably still work correct? I'm 99% the answer is yes. Great video and thank you again!

Bought this and have the same problem with the connector/antenna. Oddly the sent me two different connectors. One had the correct antenna part but the wrong other part for the car and the one with the right part for the car had the wrong antenna connector. I don’t have a lot of experience with wiring though so I’m not sure what to do. I yanked the connector off hoping I could swap it but I don’t think I did it right. Do you have a video of that part?

I don’t, but the second part I had listed in the description was my direct remedy for that issue.

for others adding bluetooth, backup camera and android auto is worth it, and that's the point. I have 2 Fit's of the same generation, and currently running a BT dongle with the associated power plug and aux cable requirements... it's a freaking mess when it comes to cable management and that mess spills over into the cup holders in the center console. I'm still going to run my phone on a mount, but getting rid of the BT dongle and having a larger screen for GPS nav is worth it for me. I get it, not for you... but my daughter loves having a backup camera.
