Radio Question

[Justin Vercher]

Hello everyone,

Just bought a 1991 civic and I'm curious if any one knows whether or not its possible to swap the positions of the climate control and radio. Looking to get a radio with a pop up touch screen display and I don't want to put it on the bottom if I don't have to.

Thanks for any input!

Im pretty sure it wouldnt be difficult to do so. Why not just get a double-din radio?

There is only space for a single din radio And I don't want to go through the hassle of making space for one. At least not yet.

maybe you can find a way to switch them. flip out above the climate control if that possible without doing major work.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping to do. I just won't get to try till Wednesday at the soonest.

There also are some aftermarket radios that flip downwards instead of upwards. Keep that in mind too.

Yeah, looked at a few. Do you think they might get in the way of the gearshift if the screen is down?

I highly doubt it. Best way is to measure it out. See how big the screen is, measure it and see where it sits. Unless you got a shifter extender or something I doubt it would hit in any way.

I've seen them on eBay before.

0.o how you manage that? did you have to cut eh plastic a bit?

Thats not my image, but Ive seen a few with that set-up. Perhaps it takes a little cutting but I would rather have that over the mechanical screens that I feel make the dash look cluttered.

The hole for the radio and hvac controls are not the same size, the controls would not fit in the radio slot without trimming.

You could also look into the optional console add on.
