DAB Radio

[DuncanM]

Hi guys.
After many years of faithful service I will be parting company with my trusted 6th generation Accord. She will be replaced by a newer 7th generation.

The one mod that I did was to install a DAB radio. Does anyone know if it is possible to do the same with the 7th generation. It is as 2006 2.0i VTEC SE.

Many thanks.

Duncan

That's good news Slim.

Any pointers as to how it is done as it is a 1 DIN radio.

You can even use an old flap lid trim from a nav version (where the factory dvd nav drive fits) in the lower section, fit the radio to the same metal brackets using screws rather than the cage which makes it stick out, by fitting with the bolt and brackets you can recess it and even hid it behind the flap lid! I did on mine then swapped out for a double din. You may have a headache with the steering wheel controls as I did, finally managed to get a supplier to figure out the right one and now mine works.
