Hey fellas. I want to know if it's at all possible to hook up a Si cd player in a sedan? Are the dimensions at all close? I can't tell from the pic here but maybe some of you know off-hand. At first I thought the dimensions where close, but I can't tell if it angels in like it does on our cars on the right (passenger side)... If you want see, look for yourself here:

Si


sedan


How hard would this swap be? I suspect it should be straight forward and would quite simple... like any regular install at an audio shop. Anyone done this and have pics of it? Where did you go to get it done? I don't know if Honda would do it for me.

Do you know how many watts the Si cd player puts out? I hope it's a decent number... or at least better than the coupe/sedan cd player.

Thanks for the info.

probably no difference whatsoever in qulity, watage, or anything...

also, probably not the same wire harness,

all in all, SO not worth it

Why would you want to. It would only be cool if you have the dash accent kit, to match.

Dont even bother.. For what you'd go through, it's not worth the trouble.

They use exact same wire harness. I am using metra wireharenss that i used on 02 ex. swapped right into 03 si. No problem. However, My old (02 ex) aftermarket headunit installation kit did not fit on 03 si. I wish i had stock 02 ex headunit , so i could compare . I belive size is slightly different. si stock headunit probably produce same wattage as 7thgen civics. Stock headunit isnt that great..

I went to Honda today for my oil change.


I looked at the Si and the coupe side by side, by side, and by side again. It looks pretty close measurement wise.

I am still thinking if this is worth it. The coupe/sedan cd players are pretty much the same in look and such but the Si is in silver. Buttons are in the same spot, but some things are different.

I just want to accomplish a exclusive but stock look. I am tired of taking my face plate in and out. Maybe I'll just save up and go with a aftermarket.

looks to be the same.if you want an exclusive but stock look get the Denon or Nakamichi units...they look stock at first glance but are pretty exclusive.

So the question still remains... Anyone got any straight answers?

It will fit, the length and width are identical.

well go out and mesaure it, and you will see. The depth is the same as well.

excellent... and the wire harness is the same then too, which is what everyone says. well then, i hope the pocket will fit aswell. I may test this out with a used one.

why?

3 reasons

1. I get tired of dragging my bitch-*** face plate around everywhere I go when I take the car out.

2. I drive a silver sedan. It would match.

3. Going stock wont hurt anyone, I will have less worry about theft. It's probably one of the best choices.

I bought someone's stock cd player with the bottom pocket for an 02-04 civic Si hatch from eBay and I have an LX 01 coupe. The dimensions are pretty close, but the face for the cd player and pocket curve outward and do not match the contour for head unit console of the sedans and coupes. This curve also does not match the inside of the coupe/sedan head unit, which is flat, which brings the mounting holes for the Si closer to the front so it does not align with the holes of the head unit console's bracket, so there is no way to secure it to the stock bracket.

I even took off the silver plastic face of that Si head unit to see if the Si cd player was the same size as my stock head unit, and they are. I then checked to see if I could buy a new plastic face for this Si cd player, either the regular black one or the silver one for the hybrid, from hondaautomotivepart.com/ but they do not sell those subcomponents. Therefore, to my knowledge, my Si cd player and pocket are useless for me and for anyone with a coupe/sedan.

I also bought a regular cd player for the coupe/sedan, again from eBay, and I just received it about 5 hours ago and the guy didn't send the security code. I emailed him twice, got no replies, but if anyone knows how I can override it I would appreciate it- so I have something to listen to while I drive.

Does anyone know if there is just one security code for all the regular cd players or does each individual head unit have its own code?

You can't override it.
Every individul head unit has its own code.
