Re installing a GArmin 300XL

New owner for a used 300XL . Is it recommended to get the installation kit for the HD 26 pin plug on the back of a 300XL or will the HD 26 pin Mouser Male plug and HD male pins work. ? The larger plug I only need the power and that was cut with length in the plug for splice. Quite a difference in price for the kit vs the 3$ HD plug from Mouser. I'm aware that sometime Garmin parts and generic parts may not mesh.
 
Thanks Ray, i did just that. I'm not real happy with the lack of connection that the HD makes with the radio . If you wiggle the radio much you seem to have a disconnect on the audio part. Seems to me the plug needs to attach to the radio rather that the backplate. The tray lock being all way on right doesnt help either. Anyone seen this before? Thats what prompted my generic HD connector question.
