No, that is just the front. You need the full kit with the cage etc, as the ones that come with the HU don't secure it in the DIN slot.

Mine turned up yesterday, and just waiting for the fitting kit which should be here today. I plugged it all in to make sure it works, and it's really easy to bypass the handbrake wire.

Simply connect the handbrake wire to the earth cable on the HU.
