howdy all,

Looking for a way to add navigation to the 3.2TL. Is there any way we can modify the dash in someway that would allow for a navigation screen without raping the stock sound system (which I quite like). I've seen many kits on ebay for converting second gen nonnavi TLs to Navi, so I was wondering if maybe we could use these kits, and some ingenious wiring and mounting, and have a stock Acura navi system in our cars.

Of course, if none of the above will work, there's always the Pioneer AVIC-D1 or upcoming AVIC-Z1. I dunno, but for some reason, I'd rather prefer a stock navigation system.

EDIT: The TSX navi/radio is a combined unit and fairly small. Anyone reckon we could shoehortn one of these into a 1st gen and wire everything up?

 

Do a search & you'll quickly change your mind about this.......

 

My advice:

Either get the Pioneer unit you mentioned

or...

somehow find the dash used in navi equipped Honda Inspires and see what you can do from there.

 

Yeah try to find something more factory, you'll like it better!!

 

what im doing right now for GPS is using my Palm T|X and then the GPS cradle they have, but it mounts on the windshield using a suction cup

if/when i get my 2.5TL back thats what im gonna do for navi

 

who needs navi anyway... a much cheaper solution... mapquest and knowing where the hell you are

 

A much more solution is the carputer.

 

yeah I agree with unsane. A carputer is much more practical.
for a navi system, you need the brain and an lcd screen.
And all it does is show you maps.
with a carputer, you have similar components setup and can do more.
my favorite is wifi!

 

one guy put a navi in his 2.5 but he hasn't posted here in about 3 yrs or so. If you do a search, you may find pictures b/c i remember seeing it.
