Default Question about the AVIC-D3/Any AVIC install in the SC...

Hi All,

I'm having a little bit of trouble - I just got an AVIC -D3, and as I understand, there's no wiring harness for the SC's...is that correct? Does the system have to be hard wired?

If so, I may have to find a shop around here that's experienced in doing it...

Thanks in advance!

oh, and bonus pic of my car

I need a dash kit? I was told it fit rather snugly........

yeah, I installed a basic head unit in my old prelude, but...that seemed a little more straightforward than this
