Lower Dash kit for 2003+ Accord

Good luck.

unfortunately I don't see anyone just quite yet moving the EXL's OEM LCD anywhere else but where it is, simply because I think that LCD is integrated with the CC circuit board. Now, with the EX models, that LCD is utterly useless.....it only works with the OEM headunit. Now, if you ditch the OEM headunit, then you can ditch the screen......which is what I am doing. However, there is one catch, you can't actually remove the OEM HU, it needs to stay connected to the car. It is integrated with one of the multiplexors in the car for the security system. I think it is ******* retarded on Honda's part, but I'm sure there is a method to thier madness.

I do have that lower cubby hole pocket converter for a single DIN currently in my car....although it is only temporary until I stick my Pioneer DEH-8MP inside of the cubby hole.....stealth mode baby!

BTW, that lower DIN pockey fits pretty well too.

03-05 Accord 7" Mold

Hello.. i'm new here.. im getting my new 2005 Accord EX V6 and as stupid as I am i just realized it comes with No TRIP computer or anything.. grrrr.. i would love to put up a carputer like what you are doing, Google.. and with the screen do something like this.. let me ask you something google.. did you have to break anything from the car to install the computer? Im affraid of the warranty will be void on the car if i thouch it too much... 7th gen accord custom screen fab

I would totally remove the factory radio mount the LCD in place of it and run everything off an AMP. If there are security issues I am sure they can be bypassed. There is a USB device that will allow you to control your computer volume with your steering wheel controls. If you mount the screen in the lower center console then it will be too low. I own an 02 and wish that my screen was a little higher while I'm driving. You will constantly have to look down more than a foot to view your navigation. This car comes stock with a navigation if you order it. I would look into the molds that are all ready made for this car in the factory. Some of the best cars I've seen are the ones who have used the factory navigation mold. One of the reasons I bought an 02 was because of the difficulty of modding the 03 and up.

no way, it just isn't a 4 hour mold job like on the 6th gens...not hard though.

as for the security in the factory HU, you take the security wire, and just ground it.....

Did not say it was an easy mold. All is I am saying is you will not be satisfied with having it on the bottom of the center console. Also I was saying that mine is borderline. I wish the screen was higher.

nice case, i got my car pc in the same one

anymore updates on the mold and pc?

if you have the 6-CD in-dash changer and the dual climate controls the A/C system also uses the HU LCD display for temperature settings...
