Hey, I've been searching around the forums and I have a general idea of what I need, but I'm not sure if I need anything else.

So far I have:

AVIC-D3 (prepped for bypass)

Scosche HA08B: Wiring Harness (Is this right? This harness has a female connector at one end and bare wire at the other. I've seen harnesses with male/female connectors, so I am confused if I did have the right one.)

Extra wire splice connectors.

I still need:

Radio Kit: I was looking at the Metra 99-7865. (I've been looking at them on ebay, but some look like they are DIN with a pocket and not double DIN. So I am not completely sure.)

Is there anything else I would need? Or need to change? I have already posted on the 8thcivic forums to see if anyone can point me to a DIY disassemble of the dash. I'm a newbie when it comes to where to start with the disassemble of the interior. But I feel comfortable doing the wiring/connections.

I already have a double DIN stock radio in my car, would I still need new brackets or can I use the ones already in the car.

Thanks!

that is not a stock radio in there, so you can use whatever hardware that is holding that one in

That's what I thought, but I if its does not completely "fit" with the dash, I would need the trim from that Metra correct? That radio is the only silver in my car, so I don't think I'll be using the trim they had for the D3 install.

yes

Correct me if Iam wrong but doesn't that stereo come from the factory that way??? Thats the Reverb Civic... That deck is a double DIN kit already there.

Yeah, your right, but from what I was understanding, say that the D3 isn't really flush with the edges, I would want black trim around it instead of the silver trim from the current double DIN HU. Am I correct on this? Sorry about the terminology if its wrong.

So take out the trim that's in there and paint it black. Problem solved. All it'll cost you is 5 bucks for a can of spray paint from a hardware or auto parts store.
