As we all know the ilx with the base screen has ZERO options to replace it! I tried many things didn't work ......until i found a idea.


Look below! Not bad for a first time huh? 7 inch Andriod head unit in the oem display housing. I plan to relocate the oem screen to where the cubby storage is below and have 2 screens 1 for apple car play and 1 for radio. both will be backup cameras too! wide and up-close veiw.


I just wish i knew how i could cut a clean circle shape where the passenger airbag light would be as i vny wrapped over it. I can still cut it out just looking for a circle punch or something super sharp. My hand ins't skilled enough to make a nice uniform shape

the total cost to make 251$ give or take could even make some to sell if anyone else is interested dm me! (any 7 inch Andriod head unit works) just lots of labor and skill.



Anyone able to help me find which wire is what for the radio! 2015 ilx base
Power wire ( i assume its yellow or red)
Ground ( i assume its just black)
Reverse trigger wire? (+ power given to the oem camera ......help!
Dimmer wire ? (headlights turn on dims display and turns on backlight for buttons)......help

 

help! i cant find any acc wire that powers the android radio ... There is a thicker black and yellow cable which is + and - but they are live 24/7 i would rather connect both power and acc wire of the andriod radio together and tap into the oem acc wire i think it will be fine since its only the radio and the aux being powered and not all 4 speakers that the andriod unit can power

 

Check the blank(unused) fuse locations for switched power. I did this in my RDX for my exhaust cutout.

 

done! apply car play ! and 2 back up cameras! on a base ilx

 

Is it kind of difficult to reach the screen, being recessed in the binnacle?

 

Barely touch it maybe 2 or 3 times a drive i got apple car play so once my one is connected spoifty automatically plays i can skip with my phone or just lean over. Either way it takes a shit on the oem screen that does nothing and is so small.

 

I get that it’s done so u can’t include pics but maybe if u can give some step by step for how u got this setup

 

Curious how the plastic trim looks around the screen and the fitment. Did you just cut it out? How is the screen attached to the trim piece? If you could take some pics of the back side.

 

Do you still have all of the functions from the previous screen? Nav, Settings, and so on?
