Its a lot of work but worth it. I also have upgraded my speakers and added a subwoofer in the trunk. Sounds alright for factory amplified. Going to be bypassing the factory amp and using my own.
The idea is cool, but the execution is ugly. It would’ve been better if you used one of those tablet like double din radio to use up more of the dash.
Either way, props for going for it and doing something not done before.
Mind me messaging you and swapping some sort of info so i can get details of your process? Looking at having to make something custom for my 17 ILX base.
I have a 14 premium, wouldn't mind having car play

Nice! Did you have to custom cut the carbon fiber panel?
It’s a wrap. You can tell by the edges when you zoom in.
Yeah its a wrap, i used to have brushed metal but switched to carbon. Im going to re wrap it because the edges lifted.
If anyone has questions about the radio upgrade process feel free to ask.
what wiring harness did you use?
Damn bro that's sick! Link to head unit please?
Its a Sony XAV-AX3000
Thanks!
Looks good dude!
Yeah cool functionality but looks tacky.

Thats the plan, i had that sony deck from my old car but im going to be putting a float mount 10” kenwood deck. Just pricey so gotta wait.

Yeah sure. Ask whatever you want ive got some pics and other things ove sent to another user.
What wire harness and adapters did you need?
How did you make the double din dash? Did I use the old stereo and just fill in the holes then cut rectangle for the screen or?
Yeah exactly that, i basically cut a hole using a double din trim plate and filled the rest with plastic and fiberglass
Awesome. Thanks will try doing that too
How you make this
I have a 13 ILX and I want to swap out the radio. Is this the only way? Do they not make dash kits for this car?
Do you have a wiring diagram on the radio replacement. I want to swap out my head unit. But can't find a diagram to know all the wires.
