JDM headunit removal

[Crow555]

So I have an old Eclipse AVN7702D in my car. It has a nav function that thinks it is still in Japan someplace, can only get Radio 2 and Radio 5, and had a pleasant sounding Japanese woman commenting on my fabulous driving from time to time (I assume anyway).

As great as all these envious features are, I would love to change it to the new headunit I bought.

Question is, does anyone know how to remove this unit?

Remove the facia and there should be 4 screws.

I’ve got a similar system in the evo, I’ve just learned to live with it and imagine what the Japanese slag is jibbering about, pity I can’t get the UK maps on it as it looks a great system

Yea as said, remove the surround, should prize out
An the cage will be screwed in

Would you sell the headunit?

Get a bojo tool to gently prise the surround out first. Make sure the trim is warm as it can snap. 4 screws the removed the head unit.

I will give that a go some night this week then.

Yep, I would sell it, otherwise it would just be gathering dust in my loft, though I don't know what use it would be to you.

I could stick it in the skyline
Reason your getting little to no stations is the aerial in behind the radio, jap cars has a 2 prong aerial, you can get a converter that converts it to a UK spec aerial, I'd say the radio only reads between certain frequencies

Not quite. You need a frequency converter.to for a jap radio in a UK car.

Aye that's the boy I had to buy to convert the jap aerial to uk

I assume you know that most of the touchscreen buttons are in Japanese kanji?
Not that it would stop you using it, just that you need to remember what button did what.

Ok, next issue. Adapters.

Top is the connections for the old stereo. Bottom is the fitting for the new one. Try as I might, I cannot work out what type those white connectors are and what adapter I would need to use to connect to the new stereo .

Anyone know what these are?

 

[Cartunes]

Sorry. Only saw this now. You will need 2 leads. The original one that should have been supplied with the stereo and an "iso" lead to for the car. Www.connects2.co.uk will have both

Thanks @Cartunes I ordered an ISO adapter but it wasn't the right type of connector. I can therefore only assume the connectors were proprietary to the Eclipse NAV unit and the original Honda connector was disconnected. I ended up getting the connectors wired in. Thanks for replying though.
