Honda Civic (2006-2011) Android 15 Car Stereo Head Unit

Exceptional customer support

Package arrived in 2 days, beautifully boxed. I had a slight issue interpreting the CANbus plug for my specific 2010 model. Messaged SyncSonic support on WhatsApp, and they sent me a clear photo diagram instantly.

Pure digital audio output for my sub

I built a custom sound system for my Civic. I used the optical TOSLINK output straight into a DSP amp in the boot. The audio signal is completely pure digital. Absolutely zero alternator whine.

USB ports routed nicely

The provided dual USB cables were long enough to route straight down the center console and into the armrest cubby where the factory 12v socket is. Keeps my flash drives completely hidden.

Android 15 is exceptionally stable

Running live OBD2 engine telemetry via Torque over Bluetooth, streaming HD music, and running Waze simultaneously on the A18 PRO model. The system hasn't crashed or hung up a single time.

Solid mounting hardware

The new fascia clips securely into the original factory mounting holes. The screen is rock solid and doesn't vibrate or shake at all over rough UK country roads. Very well manufactured plastic.

Highly responsive touchscreen

The capacitive glass feels premium, just like an iPad. Swiping through the app drawer and pinching to zoom on satellite maps is incredibly fluid without any frustrating ghosting or delay.

Massive 128GB local storage

Downloaded massive offline map areas for a European road trip, plus gigabytes of downloaded Netflix shows for the kids when parked. The eMMC storage is very fast and I still have tons of space left over.

Flawless GPS lock

The magnetic GPS receiver works flawlessly. I mounted it right underneath the plastic top dash cover near the digital speedo. It locks onto 15+ satellites instantly with zero dropouts.

The X73 PRO 360 camera is brilliant

Visibility out the back of the 8th Gen Civic hatch is notoriously awful because of the split rear window. Fitted the 360-degree cameras with the X73 tier. The top-down view makes parking absolutely effortless.

A6 PRO base model is incredible value

I didn't need 4G or crazy RAM for my 2.2 i-CTDi daily driver, just wanted Wireless CarPlay. The A6 PRO quad-core handles it perfectly. Very cost-effective way to get modern navigation.

Wireless Android Auto is flawless

I jump in, and my Samsung links up wirelessly in about 5 seconds. No messing around with cables tangling around the gear stick. Rock solid connection that hasn't dropped once on my daily commute.

Split screen is perfect on a 9-inch display

The widescreen aspect ratio is practically made for split-screen. I have Google Maps running on the driver's side of the screen, and Spotify on the passenger side. Incredibly functional layout.

Bluetooth calls are crystal clear

The 8th Gen Civic suffers from a bit of road noise. Mounted the supplied clip-on microphone up by the sun visor. Callers say they can hear me perfectly at 70mph; the echo cancellation on the Bluetooth 5.0 chip is stellar.

Installation is very straightforward

Taking the Civic dashboard apart requires removing the panel under the steering wheel and the gear surround first. Watch a YouTube video! But the actual stereo wiring is strictly plug-and-play. Very rewarding DIY.

4G LTE slot is highly convenient

Bought the A18 PRO and popped a cheap data SIM card into the slot located in the glovebox harness. The car now has its own permanent internet connection. Never have to hotspot my phone again.

Zero lag with 8GB RAM (X73 PRO)

I went for the highest spec version. Bouncing between Waze, Apple CarPlay, and split-screen Android apps is buttery smooth. The Octa-Core processor handles heavy GPS rendering without breaking a sweat.

Audio quality improved dramatically

The standard Honda speakers are okay, but they lack punch. The built-in 32-band DSP chip completely opened up the sound. I tuned the bass and mid-range, and it sounds 100x better without even changing the door speakers.

Fantastic anti-glare IPS panel

The Civic has a massive, highly-sloped windscreen that lets in a ton of glare. The anti-reflective coating on this glass is excellent, keeping Google Maps completely visible and readable even on bright summer days.

Instant boot is brilliant

I turn the key in the ignition and by the time the engine fires up, the screen is awake and Wireless CarPlay is connected. No annoying 30-second Android loading screens every time I get in the car.

Perfect fit in my FN2 Type R

I wanted to upgrade the tech in my Civic Type R but keep the OEM feel. This unit sits angled perfectly towards the driver (RHD spec is spot on). The red button illumination option matches the Type R interior perfectly.

Steering wheel buttons retained instantly

Plugged the main block in, connected the CANbus decoder, and my steering wheel volume and track skipping buttons worked instantly with Spotify and Android Auto. Didn't even have to program them.

Great unit, swapping the hazard switch is fiddly

The stereo plug-and-play aspect is flawless and incredibly fast. Just a heads up, you have to unscrew your original hazard light button and passenger airbag light and move them to the new fascia panel. Takes 10 minutes but works perfectly once done.

Upper climate screen still works!

My biggest worry with buying an aftermarket radio was losing the top display that shows the aircon temp and the clock. The CANbus box included in this kit keeps it fully working. Absolute lifesaver, 10/10.

Brings the 'spaceship' dash into the modern era!

The 8th Gen Civic dashboard was ahead of its time, but the original CD player really aged it. This SyncSonic screen looks like it belongs there. The grey plastic matches the factory interior perfectly and the screen is incredibly crisp.
