Hey guys, I have a question that maybe some of you guys would know. I had an 04 Civic and I had installed an AVIC-D1 navigation system in there. I really liked the unit and now I just got rid of my civic and bought the S. Do you guys have any idea of how much a custom install into the dash would cost for this unit. I really like it and do not want to get rid of it. But if its way to expensive to put into my S, i'll probably get rid of it. Any suggestions?

 

Ideally the best way to install the D1 is to cut a hole in your upper dash area....

I plan on fiberglass a flush mount screen in there recessed with a custom speaker grill and then creating a dummy cover when not in use.

Tryin to mold the D1 into your radio area would DEFINITELY mean you will lose the radio door and IMO, it's less than optimal eye level.

We've done tons of double din installs but mostly in E46 m3's and Audi's.

Email me if you want some pics.

It would have to go in the dash, as flip ups will not work in our stock radio location (at least not without loosing the air vent). When they open, the screen would hit the underside of the dash, as well as the shift knob upon opening if kept in the OEM location.

any idea of how much something like this would cost? Keep in mind that i already have the unit sitting around waiting for me to do something with it

 

well, i just installed an alpine monitor in my car. cutting the dash was not to hard, just time consuming. As for cost i bought a used custom fiberglass bezel from a member on here. i'll post pics later.
