Installing a stereo in my 91 Hatchie, I notice I cannot find a kit to install a DIN chassy stereo for our car. I have looked in Crutchfield and other stereo places online and there is no kit. How did you guys do a clean install and what kind of kit did you use to install the stereo? Any pics is appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

 

they dont require a kit. ive never used one. you can use the thing the stock stero slides into and the little trim ring around the new deck will cover the exposed ugly crap

 

Mine needed a little kit I got it at Best buy.

They might not list them but probbly still have them floating around.

 

mine went in with just the little metal cage that the cd player slides into and the plastic trim goes around that and it looks good all i had to buy was the harness from best buy

 

I am probably missing the stock stereo trim. I wonder if I can purchase this from honda. Thanks for the input.

 

yes, you can buy it from Honda. The only thing you need is just the wiring which is sold at Best Buy or similar store.

 

ya get the wiring harness adapter, dont hack off the stock plug.

the mounting is using stock parts with what the stereo came with (mounting cage).

 

lol.. i hacked my plug off.

 

yeah people like you are the reason i cant get a car with the stock harness plug on it. and the theives that just rip it out of place.

 

yep, the previous owner hacked the original plugs....damn. And they did a shitty wiring too, very messy.....damn, damn. Oh well, just gotta fix it and do it right.

 

you can use a plug from an integra 88 to 00 don't think it's just limited to 88-91 civic and I always do this when I have a hacked plug all thats needed is just some solder,shrink tubing & a little love

 

i hack one car once after 2 month of trying to keeping my speaker working i just put the plug back in never hack another car worth the 10 bucks

^^^get over it. damn. its not a big deal. im sure you can find an original plug in a junk yard for a couple bucks or less. i only did it cuz i dindt want to pay for a conversion plug. it took 10 minutes and i was done. not a big deal.

 

you can do it either way.

its a lot cleaner with the adapter plug though.

some people arent that **** and dont mind a little DIY.
