Anybody know how to set up a display name that can show my name on the little screen on the radio? I think I've seen it on the brochure before but couldn't figure out how to do it to mine. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

its in the manual under the radio control and set up section. i think you push the tune button down and then a menu pops up...its not hard but u can find it in the booklet. if u still can't find it i'll dig mine out cuz i'm that nice

1) Make sure the radio is off

2) Push and hold the TUNE ****, then push the power/volume **** on the audio control panel. You will see the first letter blinking.

3)Turn the TUNE **** to change a letter.

4) Push the top of the SEEK button to select the next segment, then turn the TUNE **** to select a letter. Repeat this procedure to set your message

***To change the letter select the previous segment by pushing the bottom of the SEEK button

The system will return to the audio display about 5 seconds after you stop selecting a letter

It is not working for me. (LX 4dr)
Any luck with it anyone?

like 2fast4u said those are the instructions. The display might be a model specific feature. Might depend if you have an MP3 reader in the deck. also the coupe and Si have different systems. i read that the coupe and si have bigger systems with stronger amps than the sedan, might be why u can't get the name on your systems

I tried this on my EX sedan, and nothing happenned. I imagine this only works for the coupe and SI trim levels. Those radios come with a 350-watt sound system rather than the 160-watt system found in the sedan version. They probably added more functionality to it as well. I wish Honda had given all EX civics the same radio. Just because I bought a sedan doesn't mean I don't like a nice sound system. Not quite sure who made this call at Honda, but I don't quite agree with it.

The display name functionality is only on coupes. I don't know why, however I do know that it does not require the 350W sound system (my DX-G does not have one)

ultimate-civic

That is so not fair. I don't think it cost Honda any more to give that cool option on all civic models.
And why EX coupe gets 350W stereo and not EX sedan?

Now other then 2 extra doors do we have something that coupe doesn't have? anyone?

I think EX sedan owners kind of got the shaft by Honda here. There's no reason the EX coupe should have a better sound system then the EX sedan. I can understand if they wanted the SI to have a slightly better system. Buyers of that car might be a slightly different demographic. But if I'm shelling out the money for an EX model, whether sedan or coupe, it should have the same radio in my personal opinion.

i have to say I don't always understand Honda's rationale for the model featureset

why don't canadian models have remote trunk release?
why does the passenger seat in the coupe only slides forward in LX and EX?
etc.

Not having remote trunk release sucks......

yea wtf =( i tried to do it for a good 20 minutes.. then i come back here to scroll down and read its not for EX sedans.. =(.. and yea the stereo is weak in the sedan too

phantom-civic

damn that sucks for u guys...honda really did cut corners on that. Only explanations i can offer up for their rational thought is that the coupe is the same body as the Si, which it would make sense to have the best stuff in it, and since all the Si is a better engine they would keep cupe models mostly the same....guess u guys just have to wait until the seadan Si comes out if it does

civic_dx-g

anyone know how actually makes the stereo for Honda? if it's the same model, perhaps the only diff is the firmware... which could be upgraded?
