you could try the articles on team-integra.net, thats where i found one for the dc4 integra.

check out http://www.team-integra.net/sections/articles/showArticle.asp?ArticleID=130 (its for the dc2/4 integra, but it might be similar for the da9)

have to agree there, get the plug and play wiring kit from any decent car/audio shop. cost me around 15-20 bucks and saves a lot of grief when it comes to the wiring :thumbsup:

Its obvious you havent installed into a DA9.
You have to alter or make a custom mount.
So you have 3 choices.
1. Get the din kit from the US
2. Have an Exprienced installer or Shop do it for you
3. Have a go yourself keeping in mind you will have to have access to tools and materials to make a bracket..

it will basically be held in by two screws once its in. You have to make a special bracket up for it which is a five minute job bolt it upto to the head unit and then bolt it up to the car. It will take you a while to try and get your head around it but you will figure it out.

Next Q, where to get a DIN kit??? It seems that it will be wayyyy easier to install the headunit if I have one.

use the metal brace that comes with the deck....
pockets can be sorced out dead easy but if u ***t the pocket then u gotta make a custom brace for it behind it.... old owner killed my one so thats how i knew how to do it now...
if ur stuk pm me and il tell u ova the fone or something...

also wrap some gaffa tape around the deck and tray underneath to give it more support.

Alright sweet another question...

How would I hook up an amp to a battery like this
http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs19/f/2007/248/c/b/battery_by_Tozza.jpg

When I saw them do it on my mates car, they attached it to another power source that mine doesnt have... I only have positive and negative.
N' is there a hole in the DA9 firewall to put the power cord through... Or should I leave this whole process to some professionals to do...

EDIT: Wait, just watched a video on how to attach it... But is there a hole in the DA9's firewall?
