Canadian Part Conversion

[chris0castro]

Hello all,

I’ve had my 22 Si for a year now and really miss the amenities from my 10th gen. I’m kind of jealous of our Canadian family getting all of the extra bells and whistles and it got me thinking:

Could any of the extra accessories be swapped into a trim that doesn’t have them? Could I get my hands on the heated seats, charging pad, or shift lights and wire it myself for example? Has anyone tried this themselves? Hell, could a dealership do it? Definitely willing to try

You may as well upgrade to an Integra if you want those features as buying the parts separately will likely be cost prohibitive especially the instrument cluster that's probably a $$$ item.

From what I understand, Honda doesn't sell seats through their Parts catalog--you'd have to buy them from a parted-out Canadian Si, and that seems like a nuisance. I suspect you'd have to buy a replacement gauge cluster to get the shift lights, and a US dealership should be able to install that for you but you may have to source and order it from a Canadian dealership yourself. Fog lights and a charging pad will likely be the easiest items to source and add.

As @heavyD said, an upgrade to the A-Spec + Tech Integra might be the cheapest way to get these features. If you were able to get your Si for MSRP and it's still in good condition with reasonable miles, you'd lose very little (if anything) trading it in. The Si has held its value well so far. A Certified/Used '23 A-Spec + Tech might cost you ~$5k and get you the features you want.

I had a '23 A-Spec + Tech for 13 months--great car.

Don't know man... I payed CAD 39.000, no markups for the Si up here in Toronto.
