Replacing monochrome screen in base TL with GPS

For the Accord they make this to replace the monochrome screen with a GPS: Farenheit F-81ACRD



It's plug and play and even preserves all the things on the monochrome screen like temperature, etc.

Nobody makes such a unit for the TL, but I was wondering if it would be possible to make this Accord one work in the 4G TL? Is the data bus in the 4G compatible with the Accord? How much effort would be to make it fit nicely?

so let me get this straight.. if an owner has a 08 base accord with no navi, they can get one by utilizing the screen up top?

Yep... the unit replaces the monochrome screen up top and plugs into the factory harness. Installation is really simple on an accord. They make these for almost every car, but not for any Acura.

Did you ever find a product like this for your Acura? I would love something like this!
