Honda CarPlay & Android Auto Installation in Dublin

Radio King adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to Hondas in Dublin with a car-specific Android screen: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, steering-wheel buttons kept, reverse camera input, matching fascia. It covers Irish-market Civic, Jazz, CR-V, Accord and Insight, and Japanese-import Fit, Vezel, Freed and Stepwgn, where the same screen also replaces the Japanese menus with English. Units from €220, fitted in two to three hours in Dublin 11.

Half the Hondas here came from Japan

Honda is the make where the import question decides everything. A Jazz bought in Ireland and a Fit imported from Japan are the same car with two different problems: the Irish one simply has no CarPlay, while the import also has Japanese menus and a tuner that stops at 90 MHz. The same car-specific Android screen fixes both at once — English interface, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full Irish FM band — which is why we keep more Honda units on the shelf than for any other make except Toyota.

If you would rather keep the original Honda unit in the dash, the language can often be converted in software instead; that route is on the multimedia Japanese to English page and the Honda dashboard conversion page.

Hondas from about 2019 with the Honda Connect screen already have wired CarPlay. There a wireless adapter is the only thing worth adding.

What changes on the dash

The Honda radio comes out and the new screen goes in behind a Honda-shaped fascia — no gap around the unit and no cut trim, which matters on the Civic FN with its two-tier dash. The harness picks up power, speakers, camera and the CAN lines in the factory plugs, so the steering-wheel buttons and the information display between the dials keep working and nothing is spliced. Climate controls stay physical. On imports the tuner problem disappears with the unit: the new screen tunes 87.5–108 MHz, so the Irish dial comes in without any extra work.

Ask on WhatsApp
Does my Honda already have CarPlay?

Honda started fitting CarPlay with the 7-inch Honda Connect screen around 2016, and it became normal from 2019. It is wired. Cars with the older double-DIN radio, the small mono display, or a Japanese-market unit never had it and cannot be updated to it.

My Honda is a Japanese import with Japanese menus. Does the new screen fix that?

Yes — that is the most common Honda job we do. A Fit, Vezel, Freed, Stepwgn or Grace imported from Japan gets an English Android screen with wireless CarPlay, and the Japanese FM band problem is solved at the same time because the new unit tunes the European band. If you would rather keep the original Honda unit, we convert its language and recode the tuner instead — see the multimedia conversion page.

Will the reverse camera and the parking sensors keep working?

Yes. Where the car has a factory camera — including the wide-view camera on Vezel and CR-V — we carry its feed onto the new screen. Parking sensor tones and the display carry over too, and cars without a camera can have one fitted at the same visit.

Do the steering-wheel buttons still work?

Yes, through a CAN adapter: volume, track, phone and voice. On the Civic FK and Jazz GK the information display between the dials keeps showing the track and station as before.

Is the CarPlay wireless?

On the Android screens, yes — wireless for both CarPlay and Android Auto. Factory Honda Connect CarPlay is wired; a small plug-in adapter makes it wireless if your Honda already has it.

How long does it take and what does it cost?

Two to three hours, usually the same day. Units are €220 for the Fit 2013–2018, Insight and CR-Z, €290 for Civic-era cars, Jazz, Accord, Vezel and Stepwgn, and €310 for the Civic 2007–2011 — supply-only, with fitting booked at checkout. One-year warranty on the unit and the work.
