Anyone who is interested please join the slack channel. We can make this device amazing and have perfect functionality. It would be great to see and hear other people's builds and what they have planned for their system.
Would you mind drawing a simple wiring diagram so that it is easy to visualize the signal path, including how the secondary harness integrates with the OEM radio and onto the PCB as well as onto the DSP high level.
It makes sense to me, but for those who are new to the thread and how this...
Your factory HU was happy to run as long as the SPDIF connection was made to anything? It did not matter if the RS485 connection to the amp was made or not?
I think I will tap before the Bose amp. AA should be controlling the Navigation volume digitally before going. Looks like I just need...
Sorry a couple more. :P
Do all car alert sounds, voice nav, and phone call audio also run through that same digital audio output? Does your fake engine sounds also run through it?
Have you tested phone calls without the ANC hooked up? Do you know what the call quality is like on the other...
LOL I am dumb. Please take a picture if you can. If not no worries, hopefully my installer will understand this. I will stop bothering you now.
Thank you again for all your help. I think I fully understand the full scope of it all. You have been such an immense help in figuring out how...
So you took a "CE2G111Z00" connector and made a RCA pigtail to go to the DSP? And the power terminal is the "shield" with the "terminal" being the signal rca center pin?
ok thank you for clearing that up. I plan to use a Helix control knob for volume and bass control, and have the DAP right next to it for transport control.
Do you have any experience on using usb audio? Do you need local files in flac or wav form or can you use a "streamer" to play files...
two channel digital "music" signal: S/PDIF protocol over coax with proprietary CE2 connectors.
not sure I'm following this question - can you elaborate? - What is the connector type going into the amp? What ends are the CE2 Connectors on? I am trying to understand the what is need to be...
This makes sense. I was putting my test bench setup in my mind's eye when visualizing the power schematic.
I am currently using a taramps smart battery charger in my home to power a helix DSP, a sub, and a couple of amps using a simple switch on the 12v remote line. All using a single power...
So you would probably need access to a Civic to modify the code? I am not the best at coding, in fact I hate looking at i. I am sure chatgpt can get my into trouble though :D.
I assume that you need these signal wires to be connected to something, otherwise the OEM radio will output 0...
Just curious if you have found any issues with the microphone and phone calls with AA? I have been trying to read through your post getting a better grasp of what is going on. I think if you could save yourself using the 5v PSU and use a step down voltage from the 12v remote line used to turn...
I have spare Arduino boards sitting on my desk. I will need to read through the post on my computer to get a better grasp of everything. Should not be too much issue. The installer and I are working together. When I say installer it is mostly the access to the tools and space for...
My installer and I will be doing a deep dive in the type s post. I assume all relevant info is over there? Thank you again for your hard work and sharing. It is greatly appreciated.
My goals are having a clean digital signal all the way to the helix next v 8 ultimate and have the helix do the DAC with the highest quality possible.
I have a 12w7ae powered by a mosconi 1/10. I have not decided on 3 way speakers as of yet but leaning towards audiofrog. I may end up...
Could you please provide any wiring diagrams you have found useful in this journey. I am currently looking to install a subwoofer and a custom 3 way and replacing the center speaker as well.
Current plan is to use a digital audio player direct into a helix dsp. Then use my phone for...
Yeah you are stuck with the Bose DSP still. EQing the factory signal back to unfiltered will never be as good as a direct unfiltered source. I have resigned to the fact that I will need 1 music player direct into the dsp and my phone connected to the OEM radio for phone and maps.
A better DSP...
so are you using all inputs on your audison? 8 max? Or did you just tap the speakers that you replaced? I am trying to figure out if I actually need a 12 input dsp to replace all the speakers.
after my 48 hours of research, it seems as though it is impossible to get a clean factory through the OEM headunit uncompressed. To play music unfiltered music through my phone I would need a sperate input to the dsp. So to properly tap all 12 Bose channels and resum them I would need at...
I am interested in how you achieved this. I am new to car audio. So you just tap the outputs on the head unit into the dsp? Then dsp to amp with a "clean" re-eqed signal?
Hello all. Just curious if anyone has any recommendations on a high out alternator? I can not seem to find any that will fit the 2.0L turbo engine. All the ones I seem to find are the non turbo engines. Is there anyone out there that has upgrade their alternator? Thank you for any info.

Hi i was looking into to ordering one. I was wondering if it would be possible to have a custom flashing mode? I am looking to have a mode where when you are holding the brakes the mode will be as following
Constant for the first 3 seconds of the brakes, then flash 4 times, then constant for...
Have you seen the SDI kit? Curious if this could pair with damper controllers and use the RSR coils to have a very customizable ride height and feeling.
I am not really too concerned with NVH increase. Already battled the most of the cabin rattles. I am mostly looking for better handling on bumpy roads. I would like the car to feel more planted when it hits a dip in the road, and not skip across. On my last Autox I was bouncing across the...
I live in comfort suspension mode. I have found that for autox and my local roads it is the only way as sport begins to make the car "skip" across the roads and parking lots. Type r suspension is just bounce city. I feel like I could use better rebound compression. This is my very limited...
Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate the real world opinion. I was just assuming that with coils at the softest settings they would ride near or softer than stock. I was hoping to make the daily ride on the super soft setting, then while at the track stiffen the settings and...
Do ohlins have adjustable camber plates for the front included? Or do I need to get those sperate? Do you have coils on your car? Looking for specific reasons to buy one brand over the other and wanting to get feedback from real owners in their ownership experience. Not just these are top...
Read through that thread. Not a whole lot of info on fortune auto. Looking to lower car but not as low as springs. Want softer street ride and better rebound over bumps. What coils are you running?
I am looking to get a set of coilovers for mostly street use but would like to grow into more track days. I am not sure what is going to be best option for me and I was hoping those with any coilover set ups can chime in. I am looking at Fortune Auto 510s, mostly as I am in the US and consider...
Is is possible to get a rendering in sonic grey pearl with bbs rg 797 and LMR 313 in silver? the e88 render looks amazing, and enough like the LM 228 that I know what to expect. I am looking at the LMRs mostly as an alternative to the LM. The LM LOOK SO GOOD! Great work btw. thank you.
For the tail light kit install, does the wiring harness plug into the LED Room Lamp (08E13-E4A-A00)? Does it split off of that plug? Do you then route the led connector for the tail light up through the hatch? I am wanting to order this but trying to figure out how to install it. Thanks...
Hi everyone. Just starting to do research on what all is needed to properly lower my fl5. Looking at what other parts I should consider besides just the springs or coils. Why would I need those parts? I have read I should probably grab some rear control arms to get my alignment proper in the...
I had a bit too much fun and I am now needing a replacement passenger side mirror assembly. Does anyone have a good part number for the US OEM passenger side mirror. All I could find is 76208-T43-J01 for the JDM mirror. Is that the same part number for US? Also looking at the model F from...
thinking about grabbing the model F from milkstore. I need to replace my passenger side mirror after a mishap. How have the mirrors held up? Any other wiring issues after the new harness was sent?
I am getting a faint buzz rattle when going over bumpy roads. Any ideas? It sounds like it is coming from under the steering wheel. Hard to hear in the video over the bumps but it does not stop when I touch different areas of the dash and below. Thanks for any advice as it is killing me...
Looking to buy a new radiator before spring track season. Not too much info on the new CSF radiator. I was thinking about going with the PWR track spec, and wondering if it is worth the price? Does anyone have any experience with the CSF?
Goals are lowering from stock ride height. damper adjustability would be nice if it can easily done at the track. Would like to not kill my tires due to alignment, and swap from a track set of wheels to street one.
Hello all. I am starting to do some research on suspension mods for the track. Currently looking over springs vs coils. Just curious what I might need besides coils over or springs? Camber arms, Toe arms, controls arms, does anyone know a good place to start learning and explaining all this...

thank you this info and your 1st hand experience. Do you think a better vented CF hood would help dissipate enough heat to see a difference? And or upgrade radiator fan
Anyone done a higher flow pump? Any options out there. My car is stock besides a HEL oil cooler I just picked up. I want to run 30 minute sessions without fear of overheating. Seems like aftermarket radiator is just not good enough. Curious if anyone has done a pump as well?
I got a quick email from them saying it will be released mid jan.
Our direct drop in unit fits with the OEM fans and the OEM AC condenser. Our radiator is composed of a vertical flow, 100% tig welded, all aluminum design that features our 42mm core with a 5mm multi-louvered fin and our...
I just found a few links for what i think is a new CSF radiator.
https://drifthq.com/products/csf-2023-honda-civic-fl5-type-r-2024-acura-integra-de5-type-s-all-aluminum-radiator...
Also in the same boat. I would like to upgrade the IC when I have the radiator and oil cooler installed. PRL is really the only option currently. I think dream just came out with one as well.
Should I also think about getting an oil catch can? I just hopped on the group buy from the HEL oil cooler and was wondering if an catch can would be worth getting? I plan on running track days with 30 minute sessions. Thanks for any info on people that have done a catch can mod on the FL5.
Thank you for all that you do. I just placed my ordered for deposit. Sorry I got tied up with holiday affairs today and had to place my deposit late. Looks like we made the 15+ so discount is awesome.
Replaced my rear pads for the FL5 at 9k miles with Hawk HPS 5.0. Went through the bedding process. Now once the brakes get a bit warm, the rears sound like a train when light braking or no braking. When cold at first startup and drive they are silent. I am wondering if putting silicone...
It looks like they produce other cars in Yorii. Unfortunately even last October when I was searching for a car, most of the MSRP lists were already full.
https://global.honda/about/group/yorii.html
As a new FL5 owner I have been curious to know if the production levels will reach the FK8 levels. I had a slight concern about paying markup(5k) and losing value within the next couple of years. I just made a very rudimentary approximation of each plant, Swindon(2.3 million sq ft), vs...
salesperson is off today. I dont know whether or not just to drive down and see. I think they took it out of inventory so they would stop getting calls on it.
Hi everyone. I had a scheduled delivery date of today. Yesterday my VIN was showing on the tracking websites and the dealers website. I checked today and now my car is missing from both. I am scared to call my salesman in fear of disappointment. And unfiltered rage, if the dealer sold the car...
Just wondering when the 2nd wave cars will be hitting dealers? My VIN is xxx739 and was supposed to be delivered last week with eta of FEB 16th-20th. No word yet from my salesman this morning. Curious if any other 2nd wave cars have been delivered to the Midwest? I am in St Louis. Thank for...
