We had the scosche kit and it was a perfect match in our 07 civic lx. We just traded it in and I took the kit out. The LX also doesn't have steering wheel controls, but i purchased them from Honda and was able to install them and connect them to a pacaudio SWI-PS adapter. With it installed I could control the D3 with the Honda steering wheel controls. I still have the parts handy if you need them. Tan scosche kit, swi-ps & honda EX steering wheel controls. PM me.

I'll need a grey kit, so I can't get that. How does the wheel control install? Send me a pic/pm with the price.

dude the blue line d3 which I have has a stripper that comes out and dances for me when ever i touch my nose!

 

I hope you never get pulled over for a sobriety test, because that's going to freak out the arresting officer when he asks you to close your eyes and touch your nose!

But it might let him get away without a ticket.

dont know if this helps but i have an 07 civic si so ive been doing some shopping too. Buy all the parts yourself. seriously, the OEM double din and all else will be much cheaper and look better than the scorsch(or however u spell it).

 

only other thing is if u have the EX model or SI with sterring wheel control is to buy the module if u want it to continue to work

Yeah, the scosche kit looks terrible. I also seen some other kit, and it looks even worse than the scosche. I have an LX model and don't have the steering wheel controls, so that isn't an issue. I have been talking with MisFit in PM and he seems pretty reasonable with prices. I can't wait to set up something with him.

bypass is not a problem, but i dont take cc

No, I meant...I would have rather bought the unit from you directly, and let you get your margin off of it, but I am unable to -- since I'd need to buy it with a CC and pay you in cold hard cash for install.

I forgot to mention, if I can't get the XM adapter w/traffic (I want this too), and camera, can I purchase these from you directly? Cash, of course.

Since you are getting so much props in these forums, I don't mind paying for some peace of mind. Are you far from Exit 12? How can we hook up? Let's talk in PM. I'll be back in these forums from work tomorrow morning.

Heya MisFit,

I am not too familiar with NJ, but my bro lives @ Exit 12 on the turnpike and (if you are willing) I'd like to see if you can help me out with a D3 install.

I'd like to get the following items done:

Get the D3 with reverse camera, and ipod module. Only prob is, while I do not mind paying extra for your own markup, I need to purchase the head unit with a CC, not cash.

I also need 2 front door speakers installed, as I have blown mines. I'd probably ask your opinion on a decent set of speakers for a 2006 Civic Coupe.

Finally, and I've read that you don't do this, but I'd like it bypassed. If you can't please let me know. If you decide that you won't bypass, then I'd like to ask you to take a different route with my car, and just go for pure loudness with the stock HU. The D3 would be nice, but I'd probably never use it if it wasn't bypassed.

Please contact me in PM with any prices or suggestions, if you can. If you cannot, then that's cool. I need to save money anyway.

Thanks for the input guys...I knew he was somewhat FOS and I didn't stay there to argue very long. I kinda know how he feels, but I really don't want to get burned again.

I am definitely going to shop around for an installer from these forums. I am ready to go and buy all the parts, I just need to find someone with some time, and some patience to answer just a couple of questions.

I really want to get this done sometime this weekend, maybe I'll start the PM's to some of the guys you recommend.

Guys, I am new here so be gentle...lol. I already got scammed once trying to put in a couple of amps in my 06 Civic and am looking for a reputable shop/installer in the NYC area. I don't want to get burned again.

I passed by a decent looking shop today and spoke to a gentleman who seemed knowledgeable, but a few things he said left me with a puzzled look.

One, he claimed that there is a "blue-line" model of D3's that come factory unlocked (I thought that this was BS right away) and that if I went elsewhere, I might get a bypass-locked version of the D3 and he'd have to do some tricks to get it to work. Because he had the blue-line model of D3's, his cost was $1.250 instead of $899 or so at circuit city.

Two, he also priced me very high for parts ($125 dollars for the double-din adapter for my civic; I can purchase the adapter direct from Honda for $54.)

Also he added extra for wiring which he snuck in while I was talking with him. He originally said one price, then added $100 nonchalantly for everything. I was puzzled for a moment as to where the extra $100 came from, then he said wiring after I questioned him. He tried to sneak it in while thinking I wouldn't ask about it.

He did have a very decent installation fee of $125, which I thought offset some of the BS prices, but I don't feel comfortable with him, so I wont go.

Does anyone know anything about this so-called blue-line Pioneer line, or is it BS? I understand people need to make money, but his whole attitude was bullshit...lol.

Any respectable installers in the NYC area? I am willing to travel a bit if I have to, I need the Pioneer installed w/bypass + 2 front door speakers installed (I blew them out) and possibly some tweeters I have hanging loose on my rear deck, mounted somehow...lol...but it's not a mess by any means.

Thanks for any input.
