Here's a link to my progress thread, and in it are details about my audio install. This is a link to the topic covered on the CF forum. Some ambiguity up front while the OP and myself sort out the details, but solid info once we both get the install done on our respective cars.
Once done properly, all factory DIC functions, settings, and warnings are retained. All steering wheel controls function normally. TC, competitive driving, and stability systems are all fully functional with all associated on-screen displays and warnings. The stock radio is still powered and can be turned on with the power/volume ****, but with no speakers connected to it, it's just lights. For some, functionless buttons like that were a deal breaker and they chose other methods. For me, and OEM-like interior was paramount, and I didn't mind vestigial buttons. The Metra double DIN kit, IMO, is hideous, and was never an option for me.

Thank you much!!!! Yeah that metra **** doesn't even look factory in a Honda! Lol I got a lot of reading to do. Any huge hurdles I need to be aware of? Pot holes you could steer me around?! Lol at this point my next question is can you install for me??! Lmao
