Honda CR-V CarPlay installation, generation by generation.

If it is an SE or above with the 7-inch Honda Connect touchscreen, yes: CarPlay and Android Auto came from the factory and an adapter makes them wireless. The entry S has a 5-inch radio without CarPlay, and Japanese-import CR-V Hybrids have a Gathers unit, so those get an Android screen made for the RW dashboard. Send the reg and we check which one you have.

No. The RE radio, the Honda DVD navigation and the first Honda Connect on the RM have no CarPlay path, so the route is an Android screen with a fascia made for that dashboard. You get wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB and a camera input, the steering-wheel buttons are kept and the factory camera on EX and facelift cars is wired into the new screen.

It depends on the generation. RE (2007–2012): from €650; RM (2012–2018): from €650; RW (2018–2023): from €150; RS (2023 on): from €150. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.

RE, built 2007–2012 (CD radio built into the dashboard; Honda DVD navigation with a 6.5-inch screen on the EX; Japanese imports carry a Gathers unit): Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in the radio position with an RE fascia; the factory radio and the Honda DVD navigation have no CarPlay path. RM, built 2012–2018 (CD radio with the i-MID 5-inch display on early cars; Honda Connect 7-inch touchscreen from the 2015 facelift, without CarPlay; Japanese imports carry a Gathers unit): Android screen replacing the factory radio or the Honda Connect unit with an RM fascia; the i-MID display stays for trip and fuel on early cars. RW, built 2018–2023 (Honda Connect 7-inch touchscreen with CarPlay and Android Auto on SE and above; a 5-inch display audio without CarPlay on the entry S; Japanese-import Hybrids carry a Gathers unit): Factory CarPlay on Honda Connect cars, so we add a wireless adapter; an Android screen where the car has the 5-inch radio or is a Japanese-import Hybrid with a Gathers unit. RS, built 2023 on (Honda Connect 9-inch touchscreen with wireless CarPlay and wired Android Auto from the factory): Factory wireless CarPlay is already there; we add a wireless Android Auto adapter and sort map region on imported cars.

RE: two to three hours; RM: two to three hours; RW: two to three hours; RS: about an hour. You can wait at the workshop or drop the CR-V in the morning and collect it the same day.

RE: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. RM: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. RW: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. RS: CarPlay is factory-fitted, so we only add to it.

Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (RE, RM, RW and RS) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
