bryansride Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi, after reading and looking at this site I purchased a D3 Double din for my 03 Honda Element. What else do I need to purchase? Wiring harness, Antenna? Is there anything special I should know before I install it? Thanks Bryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MisFit Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 if its a base model you need a metra 70-1721 if its an amplified system you need a metra 70-1726 dash kit metra 99-7801 might work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texaselement Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 You'll also need a Honda antenna adapter. Check this forum out for all the specific Element info you'll need: http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums ... y.php?f=18 You can use the same basic Honda wire harness if you have an amplified system, you'll just have to solder on some male RCA's to the speaker wires on the harness and use the pre-outs on your D3 to connect to these.

texaselement Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yea, you're right. '04s and older don't need the antenna adapter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

texaselement Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Do you have tweeters in the A-Pillars? The amp (if you have one) is behind the passenger's side kick panel. Do you have an LX or EX? Here's some pics of my D3 install: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
