Howdy all,
I ordered a Android head unit form the folks from Seicane for my US Market Honda GD3 Fit.
When I initially submitted my order, they asked for a pic of my current head unit so naturally assumed that they would send the right one.
Upon setting up the new head unit, I came across the issue where the USDM Fit has this passenger airbag on the left and the AC/Rear Defrost button on the right.
The AC and Defrost units are single piece with a single connector on back for both.
My hope is somebody on this forum and lives outside the USA where the Jazz is sold could drop by a local salvage yard and pull the single unit AC and Defrost units with the connectors and as much wire as they can cut out so I can wire in that setup. I would just stick the Airbag indicator behind the dash because it needs to be connected or you deal with the red airbag indicator on main cluster.
I will attach some pics for reference.
Thank you to anybody that is willing to help me get these parts.

Well, in the USofA, as you can see in the pics above, the passenger airbag indicator sits on the left side of circ/recirc slider and the the AC and Rear Defrost live on the right side.
They are about 35-40% wider than the Jazz as well.
Here is a pic of the JDM/UK/Asia Jazz for reference.
for those of you that are finding this thread by searching Seicane...
Please take my word and don't buy anything form these people. I bought my Android Head Unit on Sept 13th and have spent months writing emails back an forth with 75% of their responses being less than 4 words that had zero to do with why I sent the emails? I got half dozen+ responses stating 'This will work' as the contents of the entire email.
Unless you are in to spending a ton of money getting the right parts(AC and Defrost), rewiring your factory wire to accommodate the new switches, rewiring the harness supplied with seicane HU and just a myriad of headaches, please don't try this.
Updates with pics soon.
Hated the silver cluster and decided to paint to a closer color to dash.
Well after months of trials and tribulations, modifications, buying and waiting months for a complete cluster from a Jazz owner from Israel... I finally took the time to install the head unit in to my Fit along with some replacement blaupunkt speakers in all four doors. Everything works; the android head unit boots up quicker than I expected, it has OBDII wifi, Apple CarPlay, BlueTooth connectivity, etc. It sounds much better than stock but needs a subwoofer but I'm not too sure I want to deal wth all that due to I use this quite often as a 'mule'.
It's not a perfect fit and the paint I chose for plastics isn't a perfect match but it looks much better in person than in this pic.
I truly believe that this may be one of the very few(if any?) LHD GD3 Honda Fit's with this Seicane head unit installed?
I was under the impression that the Seicane headunit doesn't fit the USDM honda fit dash beause it's shaped differently. I just ordered an EANON android dual din headunit to drop into the Scocshe fit dash panel. It was easier than dealing with a different unit.
Hey i had something similar hppen i just go mine from ali express nd the seller does not want to return, i guess i will have to retrofit. do you think it can be transfered to the
SCOSCHE HA1558B 2007-08 Honda Double DIN or DIN w/Pocket Install Dash Kit
maybe it might be easier than getting a new cluster and rewiring

With a bunch of trimming I’m sure it could be possible but just keep in mind, there is no trim bezel provided with the HU so your cuts would have to be spot on. Can you link me to where you bought yours? I sent them an email about providing the .apk so I can update my Android OS on mine and or just selling me just the updated unit if it would screw in to my console.
yeah thats what i thought i am talking to them to see if they can send me a connection cable.
talking to AliExpress or Seicane? If Seicane, good luck with that... Make sure you write up your emails in small words and very short sentences and prepare yourself for responses with three words or less.
haha you are right dude not seicane, its tv navi, the guy is very responsive but doesnt want to refund me
this is the thread im in bold.
Hello there,1. This version of the plug is special for this car. I will give you the definition of our power cord. You can try to connect it, or give us some time to make a suitable cable for you, but you have to pay 15 dollars.2. Regarding the frame problem, it seems that there is a different position in the lower left corner. Please try to solve the problem by cutting the frame.Thank you!
this is supposed to fit on the car I don't understand why I have to cut the car to fit Read
This is a definition picture of our power cord.
also the ac buttons don't work Read what am I supposed to do about that; if you market it for the Honda fit 2007 make sure it fits correctly?? Read
also I'm supposed to pay for something that suppose to be included with the part! ? Read
I'm happy to return to you the part and get partial refund Read
I want something that works Read
I think we can find the power cord, because you provided the picture of the plug, but the AC button you said doesn't work, I don't quite understand it, because it is the button of your original car, you only need to click on our frame. .
your ac button hole is smaller and the power does not fit Read
check second picture Read
compare to yours Read
This is not realistic because postage is too expensive, maybe you should find a professional to install it.
Can cut our frame

I knew this long before buying Fit!
Everyone likes to get good and cheap parts, but ending up wasting their money~!
I've bought a key blank made in China and it seems to work, but the amount of efforts I've spend on researching about fixing my lock and cutting key is not acceptable by 95% of this forum users (who tend to waste their time with Cappuccino from Starbucks behind the laptop). And considering hostile driving and parking environment, I would not bother to put any aftermarket radio in my car, only dash cam and turret laser gun for defense against the enraged drivers
Managed to attach it to the scoche trim kit, with super glue and epoxy. came out alright!! the USB does not work for some reason I have to take it out and see if it's plugged in correctly , TBH too much trouble for the price lol. First picture is final product!
Well, that looks pretty good in the pics. 👍🏻
Yours was way less work than mine...
What are your thoughts on the HU design, functionality and performance?

its pretty good , Bluetooth is great , its fast, only two nitpicks are the volume buttons are finicky, the usb don't work at the moment I am gonna take it apart and see what the problem is,
it has wifi, 32 gig storage, android 9, google play store, GPS, I didn't put a camera cause I was kinda tired lol, and im getting a new back emblem for the car since I just for it painted so I am gonna have to take the trunk apart soon, so ill do it then lol. did you do a back up camera? unlucky that there arent any tutorials on this.
Yeah, I installed the backup camera a while after the base head installation. It’s very handy. My biggest peeve was the lack of power where I had to turn it up to 1/3-1/2 vol to hear it on the freeway. Ended up installing a ‘peanut’ amp under the passenger seat and included a small sub in the back. There is an option to program a remote volume to these so if you happen to have a spare remote you might be able to program that. If you pull down from top, you have pull up the volume slider bar which is just as entering at times depending on the smoothness of the road you might be driving down.
My unit is loud, but i am not a sound guy, I sounds great on YT vids and podcasts lol, I will definitely look into the remote route! haha I had no idea!
