Pretty Good

I purchased this dash kit, along with recommended wiring harness adapters, so that I could install a Pioneer DEHS1100UB radio to replace the 'awful sounding' OEM 1CD radio that was installed in my 2009 Honda Civic LX. I wanted to avoid the 'cracking' problems noted by others. I followed the advice of a previous reviewer, Berserker from Virginia on 6/2/2011. I decided to go a little further and applied a dab of petroleum jelly onto all 11 screws and then carefully threaded each one in their respective posts to insure that they were threaded straight. I was also concerned with securing the base of the ISO brackets to the dashboard support bar which previously help secure the OEM radio (for extra support and as a theft deterrent). I tapped both mounting posts on that assembly with a 10-32 tap as I intended to secure that assembly using 3/4x10-32 hex button head socket cap screw. After tapping those posts, I applied petroleum jelly to each of the button screws and threaded them into the tapped posts. All components were fitted to this dash kit with ZERO cracking and all buttons worked fine. Assembly looks fine in my car but I was unable to secure it to the dashboard frame like the OEM radio was secured. The holes didn't line up. Decided to get 'creative'- drilled some holes and inserted a piece of 1/4-20 threaded rod (8" long) with washers and nuts thru both ISO brackets. Please see attached photos. It works!! Please note that this can't be done with a double D

Overall good solution for upgrading your radio

The color was fine and it fit into the dash fine, but I am noticing that the air control buttons stick a bit, I am sure I can adjust something or shave off some of the edges. Overall it fits well and looks good.

Cheaper than expected. Extremely disappointing!

Thought this would be a higher quality product since it had a brand name on it but that doesn't seem to be the case. At least three of the screw posts cracked while I was screwing in the various components. This wasn't from over tightening, they cracked before the screws were even halfway in. The screws are holding but I'm not confident that they won't pull out sometime in the future. Also, the kit only came with 2 screws to attach the radio to the brackets and I would have preferred to use 4 if they could have spared a few cents to add a couple more screws and put together a decent kit.

Great Replacement Dash for 2010 Honda Civic LX Sedan

Great replacement dash for my 2010 Honda Civic LX Sedan. Color matched well and worked great for the double-din stereo I put in. The only issue I had was when I put in the module for my AC/Heating controls one of the buttons would get stuck a bit when pressed in. I ended up taking my utility knife and shaved off a bit of the plastic in that area so that the button would come up. Not really a big deal, but something to note (glad I tested all the buttons before I had installed the dash back in place). Price was great for this.

Color is completely off and stereo doesn't fit perfectly

Color definitely did not match see picture . Guess I could get used to it but it is very noticeable :-( Fit to the dash was good. Fit to the double DIN stereo was bad. The plastic brackets provided we're flimsy. The screw holes didn't line up with the stereo oh, I was only able to line up two screws on each side instead of 3. The brackets put the stereo on an angle leaving a gap at the bottom and the stereo at a slight angle in the mount. This is noticeable if you look for it it is definitely angled. Overall it worked and I'm not going to take it out and return it.

Scosche HA1561 Dash Kit

As many other reviews state, the holes for the screws are a bit too small for the factory stereo Honda screws. I tried to purchase smaller screws but ended up getting ones that were too small. It would be helpful to know which screws actually fit when purchasing this. Some of the holes cracked, but thankfully none of them entirely broke. The upside about this kit is that the color did match very well. When I first opened the package I thought I had purchased the incorrect color. My car is relatively old at this point (2006) so I thought sun damage would make for a poor color match, however, I think it actually looks pretty good. Lastly, the other thing I was worried about was whether or not the ac buttons would fit well. I've seen photos of other cars with this installed and the buttons did not sit flush with the kit, but everything actually fits well.

Would not call it a "factory fit"

I am not terribly impressed with this dash kit. Perhaps the one I received was defective, but the mounting holes were too small, and in slightly the wrong position. The factory screws in my original dash panel are bigger that the holes in this kit, so almost every mounting hole cracked upon use. Further, the climate panel and buttons were not centered in the openings, so buttons and dials were binding against the panel and not depressing properly. The brackets that hold the new radio are plastic, and although they hold, it feels flimsy compared to the OEM metal bracket. (I have a 2009 Civic Si). The color is close, but not exact (granted my OEM panel has probably faded over time). The trim panel that is supposed to go around the stereo does not fit (Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX). I was able to sand the opening enough to keep the buttons from binding, and the screws still hold (even though they're cracked). But this is way more effort than should be required.

Definitely fits, and on first glance doesn't stand out at all. But if you look closely, you see that the texture of the plastic is a little different from the OEM. And the fit isn't quite as good. The hazard button doesn't fit as well as in the OEM, for example, and the control knobs on the AC don't turn as easily. Looks like a tolerance issue to me, a really small one, but you can see/feel it.

Gets the job done

Installs easily and good for what it's intended for. Mine did not crack while screwing the radio into the mounting bracket - slow and steady wins the race. It gets three stars because of the angle at which the radio sits after being installed. Could face downwards a little bit more but it does not impact performance whatsoever. Just leaves the radio out of an optimal line of sight in my opinion.

Great Product

This dash kit looked exactly like the factory one. I was easily able to install the factory air conditioner unit as well as my aftermarket radio. The finished installation looked professionally done. The only complaint I have about this dash kit is that the air conditioning unit was a pain to get installed and when I did, 2 of the bottom buttons rub up against the dash kit and will get stuck. I hardly ever use these buttons, but when I do, I find by putting a small bit of pressure on the top, it will pop back out. Other than that, it was high quality and it was delivered only 2 days after I ordered it. Not many companies can keep up with another online mega company's shipping, but Crutchfield can.

It works acceptably, but requires modification. When you switch over your heater controls they appear to fit just fine, until you try to press the A/C, recirculation, and rear defogger buttons. They all get stuck in the depressed position because the cutout isn't made correctly. I called Crutchfield's customer support (who were fantastic) and they told me they haven't received any complaints about the fitment. They were super kind and sent me another kit free of charge to see if it was a one-off issue but, unfortunately, it was not. Both kits suffered the same issue in the exact same spot. I resolved the issue by trimming away some of the plastic with a box cutter (light pressure will trim a tiny bit away at a time) and was able to make the switches return properly. Also note that the standoffs that the screws are screwed into are all too thin and crack when tightening down; they do hold, though. I went with taupe for my Civic Si because Gun Metal isn't an option, and it's pretty close, but definitely not an exact match. Finally, the fitment is about 95% of perfect. Good enough, but still far from OEM quality.

Works great

After reading about some problems that others had, I was slightly nervous about this kit.I got it along with a single DIN Kenwood. As others have noted, I also had to sand some plastic for the climate control buttons to stop sticking, but it wasnt that big a deal. I also had the plastic crack when putting the screws in, as the holes are too small. I tried the 'heating the screw with a lighter trick' on some of them, and it seemed to help. In spite of the cracking, everything seemed secure. The mounting bracket seemed sturdy enough for a single DIN, but for a double DIN, I would probably glue the bracket pieces together as well as screwing them. The color matches great, and there was no problem snapping it back into the dash.

Easy Install, Instructions Could Be More Detailed

The instructions left out some key information. You have to remove the little plastic clips from the old radio/climate control bezel and install them on the new. The holes in the bottom of the radio bracket are just a small pilot hole, the screws that were removed from that spot on the factory radio are fine thread machine screws that are flat on the tip. It would be difficult to re-use them in that spot. I swapped them with a similar sized course thread screw with a pointed tip.

I was a bit nervous after reading all the reviews on the screw towers cracking but I used a simple method that worked perfectly. I held the screw with a pair of needle nose pliers by the head and lit the screw with a bic lighter. After I had the screw good and hot I placed the screw with the pliers of course, it would be way to hot to touch, into the hole and screwed it in. After the third screw this way I was confident and wasn't near as cautious with the rest as I knew they weren't going to crack and I quickly screwed the rest on in. I had also read where some had problems with the buttons sticking so I sanded each opening first with 100 grit sand paper before hand. I don't know if mine would have stuck otherwise or not but figured I'd play it safe. I thought the color was fine. It doesn't match the panels next to it but neither did the original. I thought it matched just as well as the original. Very happy with this kit. You

Required extensive reworking, color and quality not great.

Every one of the screw holes cracked before the screw was even halfway in, let alone tight (using a manual screwdriver) requiring that I mask off and epoxy the tiny screw "towers" for strength. The factory climate controls, vent, and hazard light switch fit well, but again, every screw hole cracked as the screws were installed. The mounting instructions and included plastic brackets called for mounting the double-DIN receiver from behind, which would have made installation and any future changes as fussy and time-consuming as the factory stereo. I did not want to do this, so I modified the plastic brackets (which seemed too flimsy to me) by enlarging the holes so that I could mount the slide-in chassis for the double-DIN unit. I then used 3/16 pop rivets to secure the sides of the chassis to the plastic brackets. The L-shaped tabs that meet up with two small bolts from below were way too flexible to trust supporting a double-DIN, so I cut them away, removed the steel bracket from the factory stereo, and installed that to the slide-in chassis with 3/16 pop-rivets, which worked great and meant that the new unit was just as solidly supported from below as the factory one. With all of that done and installed, the unit slid into the chassis from the front and clicked solidly into place as designed. The trim piece visually finished it off nicely, but did not snap in very well and feels loose to the touch. Finally, it places the face of the head unit at a sun-glare-prone angle

Color doesnt match and plastic is brittle

This does work but the color is off and the plastic is brittle to the point of cracking as you run the screws in when you transfer vents, buttons, and HVAC controls to it. Of you have to remove it be VERY careful the tabs will break off as well. Really not the best quality, but the only option out there.

Fitment and color could be better.

For 2011 Civic EX sedan. As others have said, the color and texture match really isn't perfect. It's quite close though, and most passengers probably wouldn't notice. I thought the fitment was similarly not quite perfect. The cutout for the passenger airbag light is the worst- a couple seconds of looking at it and you can tell the light doesn't sit perfectly within the hole. The hazards button had a small tab left on the top rather than a perfectly clean circle. However the climate control knobs and buttons fit excellently. The main display cutout is just barely off. I have a single DIN and I use the supplied cubby under it. The supplied trim panel that goes around the radio is a bit loose- I ended up using the trim panel supplied with the radio even though it's a slightly different color and size- and at the bottom center where it meets the cubby, it bows upwards and the cubby bows downwards. so there's this very small gap between them. Lastly, and this might be partly a design flaw on Honda's part with the placement of locking clips, the upper right and lower right of the entire kit are a little loose if you wiggle them. It's not noticeable at all when pressing buttons or anything, I only noticed during install. All those negatives aside, it's still 3 stars because I've already stopped noticing all those details (except the passenger airbag light...) after just a few days. There's room for improvement on the fitment and color, but it's s
