I have a friend who says that he has done this on other cars with Navi, but the sound for dvd is fm modulated. Is this true?

For other cars, the sound is probably FM modulated. On the Civic, there is an AUX jack that plugs directly into the sound system. There's no FM modulation.

Step 7: Double check your connections before you hook everything up permanently. Run your video wire from the DVD player to your Interface (Video 1) and your audio wires to your aux input jack. For audio, you can use 2 barrel connectors to a Y-adapter. You can tape them together later.

You can also splice into the aux wires, creating an integrated system. I didn’t have the time or the patience to mess with that. You can use this thread as a guide if you choose.

However, the EX and LX setups are different. If you go this route, you’re on your own.

Not sure this thread will get you any answers. Definitely try the following threads.

Audio Wire Diagram

You might also call Honda or even a place like Circuit City or Best Buy to see if they would give you the wiring diagram.

I didn't splice. You don't see the wire because it's hidden away when not in use. Take another look at the DIY and you'll see what I did. It's all explained.

What did you splice solder and tape your dvd power and interface to on the radio harness?

From the car’s harness, the purple wire is your ignition wire, and the black wire is your ground. Of course, you’ll want to use your voltmeter to double check. On the Interface, the solid black wire is the ground wire, while the black/grey wire is your power wire. Splice, solder, and tape your power wires from your DVD player and your Interface here.

Hope that answers your question.

Can the stock unit be decoded to run DVD's in the DVD drive? I asked about that on a BMW unit and the guy waited for another salesman to walk past and then said there is a code to do it. ANy chance we can do that???

From everything I've learned in my 3 years owning this car, no. There's no code that anyone has released or discovered. Sorry.

i was just wondering if your going to be able to hook up subs to the navtv headunit when you do the mod

**CameronJr9** · 03-16-2009, 11:09 AM

The head unit is still the OEM navigation system. To hook up a sub, you'd want to use a line out converter.
