Hi All,

Just bought a New Double DIN to replace the current Gathers Double DIN Unit that was in the car (02 Integra Type R) when I bought it from Torque GT two months ago.

New Unit : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072K4ZBDS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Just a cheapy one for now so I can have my phone connected to Music)

May have been a little too quick with the purchase as I am now having issues with the install and it doesn't help that I do not have a whole lot of experience with this sort of thing.

Primary Issue I have is the wiring the new Unit does not have a whole lot of connections meanwhile the Gathers Unit has 3x the number of wires plugged in.

From my research so far i will need these two :

and

I am also going to be purchasing this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Autoleads-FP-021-Universal-103mm-Cage/dp/B004TW6SGK to fill in the gap around the new Unit.

What I am looking for here is confirmation if I am right in saying I need the two connectors above and then from there I will need to manually match and connect the wires to the harness that came with the new Unit and then also to confirm what else will need to go in the back of new Unit, I know about the antenna but when I briefly had the old unit out there were loads of extra connectors in the gathers unit and these will end being loose in-behind.

All Reference Photos I have are in this imgur album - https://imgur.com/a/wXd98

Feel free to ask for more information and if needed I can try and get the old unit out again and take pictures of the back.

Thanks,

Jack.

I don't know much about this either tbh but considering nobody has responded I thought I should! Looks like you have done your research and with the wiring I think it's a case of trial and error unfortunately.

Is it worth just taking it to a Halfords and maybe having an inspection? They might be able to point you in the right direction regarding the leads, that's what I did and it actually helped me a lot and didn't cost a penny for the inspection (we ordered 3 leads and I only paid for one in the end) . Even helped source the fascia I was after as I couldn't find one to fit.

Looks like a pretty nice unit though for a very good price so you'll have to post some pics for us once you have it installed.
