Hey all, considering purchasing an evo x. I currently drive a civic and the one thing I would like to carryover is my aftermarket deck. The specific model is the Alpine IDA-X305s. Is it possible to remove the stock deck, and install this in the evo x?


Thanks!

 

Anything is possible

 

your considering purchasing a 25-40k evo x and your worried about whether or not a 200 dollar headunit can be installed ???

to answer your question yes.

if you get the base gsr without the rockford package you will need a harness and a scosche dash kit.

if u get the one with the RF package you will need a mito-02 from metra, a scosche dash kit.

dont get the metra dash kit its crap.

 

i second this....scosche or JDM parts dash kit ftw

 

Although after you see the options for the Evo including dash kit, you may decide to sell that deck and get a real decent Kenwood.

 

Yes you can change.

 

Just to provide an accurate answer, I have an Alpine ida-X305S head unit and it will not work in a 2013 GSR w/out RF. This was discovered by installation using the Metra 70-7005 wiring harness. I've confirmed that the issue is that the headunit is somehow not compatible with the stock set-up in the Evo X. It will work without any issues on the Evo 8/9. You may be able to get this particular unit to work on the Evo X by installing it with the MITO-02 harness (the harness for the SSS model), but I decided not to pursue this course since my Evo does not have a factory amp.

The only reason for bumping this thread was to provide a clear answer to the topic. I figured it's better to have 1 thread on the same topic vs having 2 separate threads with one saying it should work and the other confirming it doesn't. This causes confusion across the board for users who may miss the other thread.
