IMPORTANT: At 3:09, after pulling out the little shelf, he neglects to mention that there are two screws down there holding in the head unit. They are pretty hard to see as they're angled upwards. They're Phillips screws but they can also be removed with an 8 mm socket. Don't try to pull out the head unit before removing these!
Thank you very much for posting this. I was confused as to why the head unit would not remove until I read your comment then saw the damn screws. Kit works great! Edit: I have a 2010 accord lx Standard radio
I wish I'd read your comment prior to installing my kit. I couldn't understand why, in the video, the radio unit simply lifted up and out after the side screws were removed. After nearly breaking my radio I finally noticed the two screws, and thought "what the hell, I'll remove those and see what happens". A colossal MISSED step in the GTA video. The video also fails to mention additional electrical connections for the first panel removal should the Accord have seat warmers. A simple comment, MISSED.
For the EX-L model, there are additional steps. You can find instructions for removing the stereo online. Also EX-L model, one needs to use the category button to switch to aux. Works great.
Did the install today and works great and the only hiccup was I did not read the comments about the back screws on the bottom side of the radio . It took me a minute and read a Crutchfield guide that noted the two screws and where they were at but real happy with the purchase .
Hi guys at GTA. Thanks for the great video. It was easy to install and no broken clips or plastic bits. One thing to note for Australian customers if you do get them. At least this is what I found. Besides the 2 screws at the lower front you need to take out to remove the radio, there are 2 more facing upwards near the back of the radio. They are easy to get out, just got to know they are there. All works as described.
This looks so user friendly I’ve worked on 3 other cars installing Bluetooth stereos and what not and this looks so simple and easy I want an accord now 😂😂
Dude, a small Bluetooth to aux adapter in the center glovebox, one to aux, one to the usb cable for power. The phone pairs and select aux. that’s it. 20 bucks. Works and sounds great.
Hi. I purchased a GTA bluetooth kit and installed it and works great. My only question is, every time I leave the car w/ my phone and come back, I always have to turn bluetooth off and on and reconnect to bluetooth. AM I doing something wrong? Shouldn't it reconnect automatically? Thanks.
I have a 2012 Honda accord ex-l with navi... i wish there was a direct plugin Bluetooth module that that gave me A2DP only, and allowed me to keep my factory hands free USB etc.
GG Finesse I've tried various ones and a Bluetooth that goes to aux is a pain in the ass because then it has to stay charged from 12v to microUSB to the device, then there's also the fact that the Bluetooth to aux ones aren't as fluid/quick to pair. Depending on the kind you have to turn on the car then press a button to turn on the Bluetooth to aux device. I'm really glad i just stumbled upon this because this is adding a natural like Bluetooth to the car so as long as it was on that mode, the second you start the car then it's going Bluetooth will pair immediately, super convenient
This one is fast and works fine www.walmart.com/ip/Monster-Bluetooth-Aux-Audio-Receiver/215768523?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=5499&adid=22222222228257637575&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=307104705115&wl4=aud-566049426705:pla-553841013777&wl5=9051565&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=215768523&veh=sem&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzozsBRCNARIsAEM9kBOrs9o8JVIO4Nyqb-5dPxuzVZIKHwbm_XP-3H3DNHA9Kv0aii458P4aAvcqEALw_wcB
Forget both. Get a Pioneer wireless Carplay/Android auto head unit and a backup camera, maybe a front camera. Your Accord will be more advanced than 99% of cars on the road.
Hi! I bought Honda Accord 2008. It has this cord with USB female connection. I hooked up a USB memory stick with songs to it. It somehow played those songs, but when I tried to do it second time I couldn't navigate to the USB card again. Could you explain how to do it, please. I remember I need to navigate from CD to CDP, I guess, or CDC. Just can't figure it out..
I have a 2008 ex-l with navigation and bluetooth hands free calling. Can I use this kit to only stream music? I am guessing that when a call is received the honda bluetooth will override.
If you do not have a cd changer, you will only have 2 8 mm bolts that need removing on the cd changer bracket. If this is too brutal, remove the left panel and you have a clear line of sight to place the plug into the bracket (Honda new gen only 2008 - 2012). Also if you have the module with the dip switches you will want to wire it into the pockets which also make it easier for the mp3 player as well.
Question: Why does my Accord have a different configuration compared to other Accords of the same year/Gen? Mine has a small screen at the bottom. I bought the car from a private owner and I forgot to ask him about it. Mine is basically missing all the buttons and knobs below the AC controls. My car is a 2008 Honda Accord EX Sedan 4D Manual Transmission
Hi, if I wNt ahead and bought a used accord steering wheel with the talk button and harness. Would this respond to the answer and end call button rather than skip button on the stereo
Installed a kit on my 08 exl and im not getting any sound. I was able to use the radio before but when I installed the unit it stopped working. Then I thought to put the old radio head back and now Im receiving no sound with the original head, can someone help!!!
Hi, you do not have to connect the microphone, but when somebody will call you, the phone call will go over bluetooth and if you try to talk to the person they wont hear you without microphone. Otherwise you dont need it to stream music.
Rigo Trujillo yes if you pass or get passed in car, someone else’s Bluetooth, will cut you off, and I’m sure, theirs too? Bluetooth has a 30’ limit, so......
@@danithaman4610 Got it thanks. That's what I did with mine. I have a Bluetooth adaptor for the aux port in the car and it seems louder with that compared to a device like this that gets plugged into the CD input. Wasnt sure if Aux is usually louder than a CD.
@@Jay91Byrd nice. Just to let you know, the device shown in the video works well. I have had mine for about 5 years. I didn’t have any problems with it until about a few months ago when it sometimes doesn’t connect to my phone.
Mine is the same as that one so wich I should choose the option that's said stereo standard or the one that has navigation and xm radio ? Cuase I really need to put this on my car but I don't want to buy the wrong one I got a Android phone also
OR YOU CAN JUST (1) PURCHASE A SMALL LIGHTING TO AUX JAX CORD (2) PLUG IT IN YOUR CENTER ARMREST (3) PUSH THE AUX BOTTOM ON THE RAIDO AND PRESTO! Why would you want to rip apart your car just for something; as stupid as that ..

what is the Vin of the new 32 bus?
GavinGT Thanx for this info. As I was pulling and the radio was not moving. Great point
2:38 he actually mentions the two screws, you're right he doesn't show how to or that he did remove them but he does mention them.

Hey, do you have a link for that aux to usb cable?
+1 on that adapter
This is not available on the lower model Accords
@@smeekteek Is that because the lower level accords dont have an aux input?
Dude, you’re a lifesaver. Great video. I just installed a new stereo in my 2008 Accord. Went in nice and smoove . Thank you very much.
Please can I see the picture of that stereo?
You should have showed that there were 2 additional 8mm screws underneath the stereo because if you don't remove them the stereo will not come out!
does it automatically connect everytime i turn on my car?
this looks a little too hard. I think i'll stick with my aux cord lol.
bah at least put some music on a usb card and use the usb plug
chookalatemuffin me to
Me to
😂😂 same
you can buy the FM Transmitter and connect that device to your cigarette lighter which works as a bluetooth device.
Just take the whole car apart lol
Houstros .... then take off the driver and passenger wheels and then the airbag and finally we got into the place where we plug in the device... lol
BLacK HarTz ya hella expensive to get someone to do that
mans still got the iphone 5
All this to install a bluetooth kit?
nope. he is not showing everything there's two more screws under the radio that you must remove, if you don't the radio wont come off.
Hey guys does the usb under the arm rest will still work as normal when you plug your phone and does the cd will still play too , this thanks
right lol would like to know also.
Can you charge and play music at the same time via the usb connection?
Hi. I purchased a GTA bluetooth kit and installed it and works great. My only question is, every time I leave the car w/ my phone and come back, I always have to turn bluetooth off and on and reconnect to bluetooth. AM I doing something wrong? Shouldn't it reconnect automatically? Thanks.
Hows the sound quality
I have a 2012 Honda accord ex-l with navi... i wish there was a direct plugin Bluetooth module that that gave me A2DP only, and allowed me to keep my factory hands free USB etc.
Why to do all of this, while you can buy a 15 dollar aux to Bluetooth adapter , plug it the aux and usb for power, and thats it
So does the stock auxiliary port no longer work?
Will this change the rest of the features of the radio?
or just buy a Bluetooth auxiliary cord
GG Finesse what about the microphone
GG Finesse I've tried various ones and a Bluetooth that goes to aux is a pain in the ass because then it has to stay charged from 12v to microUSB to the device, then there's also the fact that the Bluetooth to aux ones aren't as fluid/quick to pair.

The point of this went so far over your head. This is the only system that I've seen that integrates with the factory steering wheel controls.
This one is fast and works fine

My 08' exl accord doesn't have an open port. Do you have one for an 08 ex-l?
Hi! I bought Honda Accord 2008. It has this cord with USB female connection. I hooked up a USB memory stick with songs to it. It somehow played those songs, but when I tried to do it second time I couldn't navigate to the USB card again. Could you explain how to do it, please. I remember I need to navigate from CD to CDP, I guess, or CDC. Just can't figure it out..
Will it connect automatically when turning the key on?
does it still retain the USB slot in the center console and the standard Aux port or do you lose those?
Why did you just leave the original aux and just add the bluetooth feature
I have a 2008 ex-l with navigation and bluetooth hands free calling. Can I use this kit to only stream music? I am guessing that when a call is received the honda bluetooth will override.
How clear is the audio while driving. Does it pick up a lot of road noise?
Please, if you can give me the link or where I can buy this adapter for my car?
Beautiful thanks man I have Honda 2008 and have not blue tooth where can we buy this device thanks 🙏
is it the same for 2008 Honda Accord Sedan (CU) (model for Europe) ?
Good job man very professional thanks for the video
what about if your car has the 6 disk cd changer, will i still have an open port or no?
If you do not have a cd changer, you will only have 2 8 mm bolts that need removing on the cd changer bracket.

this car already has aux input why use module input
nice vdo anyway how much is tht module?
It’s sad, the number of men who are unable to learn these basic skills, and try to make fun of those who can so they can get their confidence back.
So the charger will not charge my phone up do I need to do something different
The ori screen didn't have Bluetooth connection?
Those this works with xm radio capabilities or that’s a different model
Will the existing auxiliary still work?
Hey dude you are very professional I will install mine.thanks a lot for showing.
what is the purpose of connecting charging cable
Thanks so much! Works like a charm
Do you know how many devices you can pair to the GTA Bluetooth device?
I have a 2011 Honda Accord se model with the stock stereo it comes with (4BA1), will that device work for my car model as well?
+Julio Chavez yes it will, just to make sure, please email us info@gtacarkits.com
+GTA Car Kits please, send me info. to mi mail - highlandermex@hotmail.com - and thanks for the video.

Precio del kit

So do you have to install the mic too? Or can you just have the blue tooth without it? Because really I just want it to play music
Hi, you do not have to connect the microphone, but when somebody will call you, the phone call will go over bluetooth and if you try to talk to the person they wont hear you without microphone. Otherwise you dont need it to stream music.
GTA Car Kits where can I buy one? I have the exact same car same stereo

Rigo Trujillo yes if you pass or get passed in car, someone else’s Bluetooth, will cut you off, and I’m sure, theirs too?
