CAC F9HD28K 9" Fascia Kit Honda Insight 2010-13 SWC Hybrid Note BT

Modernize your efficient hybrid with essential compatibility information.

Product Overview

The Car Audio Connect F9HD28K is a vehicle-specific 9-inch fascia kit engineered for 2010-2013 Honda Insight hybrid models. Designed for Insight owners who want to upgrade their fuel-efficient hybrid with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay navigation and entertainment, this fascia delivers clean OEM-style integration with steering wheel control retention—with one important limitation clearly disclosed.

The universal trapezoid opening accepts 9-inch aftermarket head units from Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, and Nakamichi, giving you flexibility in choosing your navigation and multimedia system. Basic steering wheel controls (volume, track, source) are retained via the included harness. Important notice: Bluetooth buttons on the Insight's steering wheel will NOT function after installation—this is a specific limitation of the Insight platform and cannot be worked around. Plug-and-play wiring connects directly to your Insight's factory harnesses with antenna adapter included for straightforward installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 2012 Honda Insight?

Yes, this fascia is designed specifically for Honda Insight models from 2010 to 2013 inclusive. However, be aware that Bluetooth buttons on the steering wheel will NOT function after installation. Basic steering wheel controls (volume, track, source) will work normally.

Why won't Bluetooth buttons work?

This is a specific limitation of the Honda Insight platform's integration with aftermarket head units. The Insight's Bluetooth button functionality cannot be retained when installing aftermarket head units. You'll need to manage hands-free calling through the new head unit interface or voice commands rather than steering wheel buttons.

Can I still make hands-free calls?

Yes, you can still make hands-free calls through your new head unit's Bluetooth functionality. However, you'll need to initiate calls through the head unit interface or voice commands (if supported) rather than using the steering wheel Bluetooth buttons.

Does this affect other steering wheel controls?

No, basic steering wheel controls for volume, track selection, and source switching will continue to function normally. Only the Bluetooth-specific buttons are affected by this limitation.

Can I use a 10-inch head unit with this fascia?

No, this fascia is designed for 9-inch universal trapezoid head units only. The Insight's dash configuration requires the specific 9-inch opening. Ensure your chosen head unit is 9 inches and uses trapezoid mounting.
