3. Installation Guide

The ISUDAR car stereo is designed for a 'Plug and Play' installation, simplifying the process by utilizing existing vehicle wiring harnesses. However, professional installation is recommended for optimal results and to prevent damage to your vehicle or the unit.

General Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle's battery before starting any electrical work.
2. Remove Original Unit: Carefully remove the existing car stereo and surrounding dash panels. Specialized removal tools are provided. Refer to vehicle-specific guides or online resources (e.g., YouTube tutorials) for detailed instructions on dash panel removal for your Honda Civic model.
3. Connect Wiring: Connect the provided wiring harnesses to the vehicle's corresponding connectors. Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Antenna and GPS: Connect the radio antenna and position the GPS module in a location with a clear view of the sky (e.g., on the dashboard).
5. Test Functionality: Before fully reassembling the dashboard, temporarily reconnect the battery and test the stereo's basic functions (power, audio, touch screen, CarPlay/Android Auto, backup camera).
6. Reassemble: Once all functions are verified, carefully reassemble the dash panels and secure the new stereo unit.

Note on Passenger Airbag Light: Some Honda Civic models may have a passenger airbag indicator light integrated into the original dash panel. The ISUDAR unit's frame may not include a dedicated slot for this light. If this is the case, the original airbag light module may need to be reconnected and secured within the dash cavity, even if not visible, to prevent dashboard warning lights.
