- In this video I am showing how to replace your stock radio and install a Bluetooth head unit into your car. The car used in this video is 2009-2013 body style Honda fit. The general Idea remains the same for each vehicle. Please enjoy the video, like and subscribe!
DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional by any means. I'm just showing how I installed my stereo for demonstration purposes only. Please do this at your own risk. If you do something wrong or cause damage to your vehicle, I am not liable, as you are doing it at your own risk.
Here is the link to the dash kit I ordered:

More complicated than I thought but manageable with tutorials like this. Thank you.
Good vid my brother, I installed so many stereo setups in my time, that was my thing. But I never got to install in my 2011 Fit Sport, had taken it to a stereo shop here in my hometown. Wrong decision ever, talk about trash setup. I wanted to keep my system stealth so I kept the original head. I went with all DD Audio cause that's what this shop dealt with (really wanted all JL Audio,but too pricey.) Anyway whoever hooked it up spliced into my wires,installed door speakers with drywall screws, the bass knob for the amp was held with 1 screw, had to go back to actually have them install the aftermarket tweeters cause I still had originals, I bought 2 sets of components for the doors, they didn't even install the small crossover boxes. Man just a mess ,one thing after another, my fault for letting them get away with it. Like I mentioned earlier, I've done stereo systems in my past vehicles, just got too old and lazy for this one, your video could of saved me a big headache 2 years ago when I had them installed it, should of done it myself and saved lots of money plus a cleaner system. But in all very good and detailed vid bro!!
I feel you, for that specific reasons I never trust others doing anything on my car, I always try to do everything on my own. Lol thanks for watching!
Hi , thanks for your video 👍 installed a whole new fascia and JVC Kenwood in 75 minutes after watching you. Good fascia and harness wires make fitting so much simpler , only issue I had was I didn't earth the parking line so couldn't mirror my phone screen , but , found out just to connect it to any screw on the back of the stereo unit and that fixed it. Thanks again , most helpful video.
Awesome! Glad I was able to help!!!
Which fascia and harness did you use?
Very informative! Thanks for this video, man! Much appreciated!
I’m a few minutes in & I’ve already got my radio uninstalled now time to put the new in & im nervous it’s my first time doing it with no help
Wow! Awesome how did it go? It’s the most satisfying feeling when you turn your stereo on and it works flawlessly. I’m excited to hear how it went 😃
@@mafiya69 For some reason I just got this notification a year later but I got it installed and it worked great I had a few problems but it all ended up working out I no longer have the car it blew up on me unfortunately😩
If I wanted to add two single DIN slots, would it work? I know it won't look good though
My Kenwood is super bright, so I need to connect dimmer, but unsure where exactly to connect it. Manual says connect to light control, but I'm not certain if I need to go in search through the dash of my Fit to find this or if there's an easy solution...any advise?!
Hey bro, your dash kit is out of stock. Do you have another dash kit or link for the same because I can't find the same one as you on another website? Please
Nice video. I'm going to get one of these bad boys
Good video. I am not planning to change my stereo, but I know that Sport models of Fits have a USB connector in the upper compartment. Is there a cable that can be connected to the back of the stereo and other end would be a USB female? Does it exist or will this work with a stock 2010 base fit?
Does anyone know where to connect the reverse wire to in a honda fit? I have my backup camera connected but the radio isn't getting power to let it know it needs to switch to the camera.
Did you figure it out by any chance? I would imagine you could maybe hook it up to reverse light bulb wire. One think I know you can also do is add a custom switch for rear view camera and you can engage it at anytime for as long as you’d like, my friend had that done once but it definitely can be a bit inconvenient as you always have to manually turn it on and off... so maybe wore to reverse light on the rear of your car, when you put car in reverse there will be power sent to those bulbs and could trigger the camera as well. Let me know how you did it... I’m actually curious
Stupid question, but do you need a separate amp or does the unit provide enough power to power the speakers effectively. I 2013 Fit base model.
Thanks
The head unit itself definitely has enough power to pull all your stock speakers!
@@mafiya69
That's good news. Great video also, shows me all I need to know. Thanks
Why not get a matching radio faceplate? Silver doesn't flow with the car interior but then again that's a personal thing. Good job!
Hey thank you for the comment! Honestly that’s how this stereo came as whole, I was on a bit of a budget but actually this looks decent In person, because the rest of the dash is black aside from the middle grey trim, it looks alright!
@@mafiya69 I'm also on a budget too, purchased a pre-owned Sony MEX-GS820BT on eBay for $160 also 2 pairs of Hertz Uno K 170 components speakers "used" for $136 for 2 pairs, the Sony radio has a built-in amplifier. Funny thing that Crutchfield almost $600 for this setup and I was able to get it for around $296 so I saved almost $300. I purchased the radio install kit on Amazon for $23 black radio install kit. Oh also, the radio is coming with all the connectors and steering wheel function so that's a plus... That along was an extra cost of $70. So I'm always looking forward to saving money~ :) Good stuff man, thank you best of luck to you!
Thank you 🙏 sounds like a nice little setup! That’s a sweet deal! I’ve always shopped in a budget and was able to have awesome systems for very cheap...
Hi
I am installing a similar double din in my honda, just wanted to know where did you put the air bag button, the Facia has space for the hazard button but no space for the air bag button, so where did you place the air bag button? Would appreciate your feedback.
gulam ahd For the airbag light there is a square opening to the bottom of stereo. It was precut in my dash trim that came with the kit. Your dash kit should have a circle opening for hazard light by top left corner and square at bottom of the dash trim piece
How you manage to connect the steering wheel buttons with the unit?
Bro did change your speakers in your honda fit? What speakers did you use?
Hi! I left the original speakers. Honestly they sound decent! The stereo itself has many tuning options for them so they sound pretty good!!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you for doing this vid. Lookin forward doin this first time and have a daily driver 2013 honda fit but everything is exactly same dash layout. Im getting exactly the same set-up as yours... wondering if theres a video for installing the sub. Thanks a mil
Also wondering which vendor you bought your kenwood. Thx
@@angelobarscua5872 Hey glad it helped. I just bought the stereo on ebay. purchased the cheapest one on there. As far as making video of how to install sub. I've been working on it but been super busy. I'll be posting soon
Thank you it helped a lot
Do you need to reinsert the 8mm bolt once you've installed the new head unit? Is it just to mount the stock radio? Thanks!!
Just wondering if i could replace my stock steering wheel without stereo control button with ones like yours
Mine actually does not have steering wheel controls for my stereo. Mine is the Honda Fit LX (the base model) you can add those buttons to yours but it requires some rewiring which you really need to know what you’re doing
@@mafiya69 could you send me a link where you both yours? Thanks my friend
Hi, can you change the same dvd for my honda fit 2013?
Name of product, the link you left does not work. Thanks!!
Is the radio frame original from the company radio as it was or did you buy a new frame?
Hey I replaced mine and now my airbag light came on. How did you deal with that?
Air bag light? Never had that happen from stereo replacement. You have same car?
I've done countless installs in this manner and never had an issue as you are describing. Did you connect all your harnesses?
I have the identical car as yours. I didn't unscrew the PAS airbag indicator light from the old dash and plug it into the connector and stuff it behind the 10.1 inch screen. Is that what you did?
@@LaplacianFourier Yea that one. If you left it out that may have caused the airbag light. You must connect that one too.
Hi. I have am planning to install a new radio on my car as well. I have a 2012 model. However, it has a built in factory mic installed already. Is there anyway I can use it instead of the one that comes with the new radio? Thanks
Wondering if you had a link to the exact stereo you put in. Great video.
I ordered it on Ebay over a year ago. So i Don't really remember. I just typed in Kenwood DDX26BT and ordered the cheapest one they had.
Tried to install radio and now my doors don’t lock with my fob and my dome light won’t work any ideas of why?
Maybe you shorted a wire and blew a fuse? Maybe check your fuses.
Did you disconnect your battery while doing this?
Does the screen come with a GPS feature?
Jamshaid Hameed no no GPS. I think there are units out there with GPS but I can imagine are probably quite expensive. There are some stereos that can mirror your cell phone screen. This is a very entry level head unit
You need to install mine
Carl Jhonson LoL thank you for watching! You also got a Honda Fit?
@@mafiya69 yes
@@mafiya69 lol I’m looking to upgrade now ... a year later ... I didn’t even realize at first that was my comment
Hi, i trying the exact same diy. Did your harness have any key1 and key2 (brown) wires? And what did you do with them?
Did you connect any wire for the wheel function? Thanks in advance
dimitris__kat My Honda Fit is the LX Model so I don’t have steering wheel headunit controls... I’m guessing you hat the Fit Sport? Are you talking about key 1 and key 2 wires coming from the aftermarket harness or stock cars harness? I don’t remember at the top of my head this was several months ago...! Lol please let me know in further detail I’d be happy to help
@@mafiya69 the aftermarket harness. It has 2 brown wires. Key 1 and key 2.. with the stock radio i could go vol+and - and also change the saved fm options.
I checked and my car doesnt need an BUS adapter( something like this) , but i dont know what to do with these 2.
Connect them somewhere, isolate them or connect them together?
@@dimkatgr1 Are these coming from the aftermarket stereo headunit harness that plugs into stereo or the adapter harness that plugs into cars stock harness? It's not ringing any bells for me. One thing I suggest is the car adapter kit as well as headunit should have came with a wire diagram that tells you what each means. In cases like this I highly suggest you check those for what this wire is for.
@@mafiya69 only the the aftermarket stereo harness has them.
@@dimkatgr1 So in this case look into your aftermarket stereos wire diagram coding / instructions and it'll say what those are for. I'm guessing most likely you'll be leaving these out. These could be for some cars that have some other bells and whistles. That's my suggestion. Also try googling "Key 1 and Key 2 wires" you should find plenty of info. I'm guessing these may be for your steering wheel controls? maybe...
Where can i order the system
do your steering wheel controls work after this?
I have the base model, my Honda Fit does not have steering wheel controls. They can certainly still work you’ll just need a separate adapter or module to make the steering wheel controls work.
@@mafiya69 sweet, thanks :)
@@Gameplayery you can purchase those on eBay or Amazon
Hello, antenna blue cable which you didn't connect, radio works still good without this connection or need to connect it? And if need, it should be connected to head unit output blue cable or harness adapter blue cable? And may be you speak Russian?))
Giorgi Akopov are you trying to add aftermarket amplifier and subwoofer? If yes then this wire is what turns on your amp... if you’re not installing aftermarket amp than you can leave it disconnected
Giorgi Akopov I do speak 🇷🇺 Russian 🇷🇺 what is your question? You can type in russian
@@mafiya69 Привет, усилитель я не ставлю, только меняю магнитолу, заказал кабеля переходники как у тебя, на кабеле антены как у тебя есть синий провод antenna amplifier, также у магнитолы есть синий кабель с такой же надписью, так вот не знаю эти два кабеля соединять или не надо? Могу скинуть фотки viber или whatsup +995599391069 может поможешь?
Giorgi Akopov Синие провода не надо соединять. Они используются только для усилителя, это антена которая подаёт сигнал усилителю и включает его когда включается магнитофон! Не соединяй между собой, просто обмотай изолентой, и оставь не Соединённые
@@mafiya69 Спасибо, еще один вопрос)) если тебе не лень отвечать. У тебя на другом видео показывает средний расход 35mpg у меня автомат и средний расход 25 свечи и прочие расходники поменял но как было 25 так и есть, может знаешь чем помочь? Пробег 105к миль.
👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😊
Sorry I am a noob to this. Do I connect all the wirings according to the colors? Or will I need to test each one?
Quincy Fung If you have the aftermarket wiring harness adapter that came with stereo dash kit then yes correct! Otherwise the stock cars colors are different colors. That’s the beauty of having an aftermarket stereo kit!
@@mafiya69 Thank you for your reply, and yes, i have the wiring harness adapter. I connected everything so far, but i ran into a problem. I got a solid orange wire from the vehicle, and an orange/white wire from the stereo unit. Do i connect the two? There's no solid orange on the stereo unit harness. Please kindly advise.
@@quincyfung4290 Please watch at 10:03 i explain which ones i left out. Looks like I left out the orange and white coming from the part that plugs into car harness, and connected the illumination wire which was solid orange I believe. What this wire does is dim your screen when you drive at night and have your headlights on. Basically keeps the stereo from being too bright at night.
@@mafiya69Thanks for the reply. But it seems like you have a solid wire on both side of your harness which you connected, and then a orange/white that you did not. I do not have a solid orange from the stereo side and only the orange/white... so just leave it disconnect?
Quincy Fung there should be some blackish lettering on the wire,,, should say illumination on it. I think the white orange from stereo side connects to solid orange from car harness... be sure to check the lettering on the wires it should say illumination on both
You should've carbon dipped the face plate would've looked much better..just saying, but nice tutorial nonetheless...
Hello, do you have a link where to buy the frame?
Tung Nguyen you mean The dash kit?
Daily Car Central I mean the frame you bought from “American International car stereo installation kit”
Oh yeah, the dash kit.
Tung Nguyen I included the link to my description. I bought it on EBay
Thank you so much!
You gays need installer for car radio fix
I know this work
not an easy task.
I'm just showing how I did it and it worked for me. If you don't feel comfortable and feel like you could mess something up don't attempt it and have a professional do it for you instead.
