What parts from the 2027 are you swapping over

[Ouhei]

USB C and auto dimming mirror. I know, we can use the accord mirror and harness, but I’d rather want something with 100% fitment to a FL5

These are what I'm most interested in, the rest will depend on cost and difficulty.

2023+ Canadian FL5's already have a auto dimming homelink mirror. You can swap it now. Will likely need to run a power cable.

But that's not "plug-n-play". That would be similar to the accord retrofit, which I'm not interested in doing.

You are not going to get plug and play because even though it’s for the civic type r, there are no provisions to power any auto dimming mirror since the pre facelift us type r did not come with that option. So I almost can assure you that you will have to also get harness to work.

Just because it didn't initially come with the car doesn't mean that it wasn't prewired for it.

I might be in the minority, but I HATE heated seats, I feel like Im peeing myself whenever they turn on. NO THANK YOU.

you should get checked for an enlarged prostate.


If the 27 had cooled seats I would probably trade for a 27. Definitely not swapping anything, waste of time and money, just IMO.

It’s not. I did the install. There are no wires for any power. No plugs tucked away.

Who want's to buy the Type C hub and test the connectors? Here is a link to the 2025+ hub:

At some point, you have to blaze the trail my friend. Someone else can't always be the guinea pig.

You go first, I'll go second.

Fellas fellas fellas. I am sending you American websites. My Canadian wallet can't handle these tariffs. As the leaders of the free world I implore you to lead and explore.

I'll make you a deal, if you do it first you get a pat on the back and a "good job champ"

I've bought the USB C hub before to see if the connectors are any different to cars that did not come with USB C. They are definitely very different and is not something you can just buy and swap over.

Make it in French and I'll do it as my Christmas Miracle for CivicXi

I'll give you the second pat on the back, and like I said, I'll also go second after you.

Matter fact, make you, @J_D , a deal right here, in public.

If you buy a Dual USB C hub, install it, and it works... I'll pay for yours (Cashiers Check, because I don't do Apps. I'll pay you the Canadian value.)...
AND buy another one, either for myself, or maybe I'll just send it to @Cueyo instead.

I may just want to keep my original setup.
I'm "USB A" Ole Skool like dat, after all.

It is settled. We remain in the glory days of USB-A
