How to install a new radio in a 2004 Honda Civic - Automatic Transmission Supplement.

This video is intended as a supplement to JoeSchlubb's excellent directions. My video covers the differences in the automatic transmission cars, and also shows how to get to the radio screws without removing the entire center console.

I have a 2002 civic. I didn't remove any of that. I removed the part with the cigar lighter without touching anything around the shifter.

The section you removed was held in place by the two screws that I removed at 4:19. If you didn't remove those, then it's likely that you broke off the plastic tabs when you removed it.

Of course, there may have been a design change between 2002 and 2004. In which case, you're right and I'm wrong.

Hey...nice video. Yeah, I too had that same issue with the two screws. Do not try to use a screwdriver. First off, you can't get a screw driver in there. Second, the factory has made them so tight, its hard to get them off with a screwdriver, you will strip the screw. Instead use a 8mm socket. Comes off much easier. Great job on the vid. Keep it up.

@MrAks10 Thanks. It's good to hear from people who have been helped by my videos. It makes the effort worthwhile.

Thanks so much for posting this video. Your instructions (along with those of JoeSchlubb's) helped me replace my radio in my 2004 Civic LX by myself. No way I would have tried it without your videos.

Thanks so much, Just to think that I had to remove the entire armrest made me hesitate to replace the car stereo , but after watching your video I realize my car is same model and would be much easier. excellent video , well explained. thanks again

Thanks man ill post a video in about a week of me doing this following your directions

[sprasaud1]

Just wanted to say that this saved me a ton of time. I did it the old way prior and it took a good 30+ minutes to get to the head unit. Doing it this way was easily under 10 minutes. Great tip; thank you very much!
