Pioneer SPH-DA120 help please

[FireBladeRobbo]

Just bought an EP3 and it has a woeful Sony single din head unit in it, without fascia surround, so looks really messy.

Thinking about getting the Pioneer CarPlay double din unit, but was wondering what kind of adaptor would be needed to plug the unit into the car's loom?

Also, if anyone has any links for said adaptor, and a fascia for the unit once in place, that would be really helpful.

Thanks.

It dosn't look like a simple install if you want full functionality since you'll need to hook it up to the park brake etc. and separate wiring for the power amp. :/

I don't think it's a matter of finding an adaptor like you would with many other stereo installs.

Apparently, just grounding that wire works fine.

I figure the reason it's there is to prohibit you using it for videos while the car isn't parked. So... naughty naughty

Thanks to Nidge76's recent post, a new double-din fascia you could use is - https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/con...cia-panel-adaptor-silver.html?search=CT23HD30

Yeah just ground the wire and it's fine.

Just get a surround kit and lead adaptor for an accord I think it was and bobs your uncle.
