Well, sadly it finally happened. I DROPPED MY MKIIA!!! In a frenzy I rushed to insert the player back into my car to search for signs of life. That's when I realized what heppened. It landed right on the female connector (harness) on the back of the unit. What this did was break the connector so it doesn't line up properly anymore. And bent the case inwards.

After several minutes of cursing I was able to bend the chassis back to it's original form and rig the connector so it would line up again. With great anticipation I turned the key to my car...... Yes I know I could've just applied AC power but I wasn't thinking clearly at the time . Anyway: IT IS ALIVE!!!! However the connector tends to wander now so I've decided to replace it.

Now I've already ordered the part from digikey and it should be here Monday but I was just wondering how difficult will it be to actually replace it? Is it just as simple a moving the pins from the current connector to the new? can anyone forsee any potential headaches I should be aware of?

Thanks
