Alrighty i need the sauce for a new radio

I have a 2015 honda fit

i have the shitty one with the knobs *which nothing bad about the knobs i actually perfer it i just hate the tiny screen*

and here are the 2 things i want
#1 I WANT APPLE CAR PLAY
no shitty hong kong ebay 2 kilobytes of ram radio with *apple carplay* and when i gets here it has no n -_-
i want carplay,even if its the tiktok shitty kind i just want it, now #2

I WANT MY STOCK BACKUP CAM,
listen, i dont care really about putting in a camera but i dont want to deal with routing and wiring, i want a simple plug it in and stock camera is in use, so now with these 2 factors,, can i get any advice on this! thank you

 

That's a big ask for an upgrade from the stock LX radio.

Unless you're willing to spend thousands of dollars for this upgrade you're most likely SOL.

 

yeah, fuck that then, i have an idea of what to do and i feel like its the cleanest anyone can do ill update this post whenever parts come in!

 

Good luck to you.

 

Swap in a system from a newer Fit? Our 2020 EX stock radio has carplay.

 

The thing is I’ve heard there’s a lot of differences so for example I found a radio on market place from a 2016 and Ik it dosent have CarPlay but I bought it for a bigger reverse camera,, all the plugs fit but there’s missing plugs maybe for options .. but sadly it dosent work, radio audio works but Bluetooth is inusable and the reverse camera as well. The radio thinks I’m in motion

 

There are pinout differences (wire locations in the connectors) between trims, probably between years. Unless someone has already done a write-up, you'll need to find the wiring diagrams for each car (yours and the donor car), then compare the function of each connector pin from one diagram to the other. Figure out what the new radio expects (donor diagram), then move the wires you have (your diagram) to the new positions. Most of them should be the same.

 

im a bit slow im ngl, what do you mean?

all the wiring from my radio connects to the new radio but theres alot of missing wires,, assuming its a whole diffrent wiring harness,,
which to my knowledge theres no work around,, unless there is

 

this is how the back of my radio looks like

and this is how the new radio looks like

 

With some fiddling (some connectors are worse than others), each wire can be ejected from the connector (called de-pinning) and plugged into a different location. The large plastic part of the connector is called the housing, the metal part crimped onto the end of the wire is called a terminal (aka the pin). To be honest, the more terminal-dense a connector is, the harder it is to de-pin. Modern automotive connectors typically have a locking bar (or bars) of some sort that acts as a backup retainer for all the terminals, then a flexible tang for each individual terminal which snaps in when the terminal is inserted in the housing. It's that tang that's a challenge to release. Look up "automotive depinning tool kit" to see the plethora of tiny tools to work the different connectors out there.

So I'll say yes it can probably be done (provided the PCM or gauge cluster or something doesn't outright reject it) but if you've never done an automotive wiring mod before, it's going to be a headache and then some.

 

There are various aftermarket options from the far east that offer carplay / android auto plus backup camera.

This one has a separate backup camera. It's unclear whether it hooks directly into the CANBUS or some other way.

 

Nope.

Won't work.

Just be happy with the radio already in your Fit.
