05 TSX w/nav upgraded to 06 Nav w/Zagat
Well I got the chance to test the 06 Navigation system from a 06 Accord. What I did was swapped out the DVD drive from a 2006 Accord with my 05 TSX DVD rom drive. The plugs on the back matched up so I suspected it would work. And it did! Everything work out as planned. The voice activation, the steering controls, the joystick......all of it! The only slight problem I found was the calibration of the touch screen was a bit off. But, i'm sure you can fix that easily somehow, never tried. I took some pics of the units for comparison.
And I also put the 05TSX Navigation system in the 06 Accord to see if it would work that way as well, and it did.
When I switched out the system, the “trip computer” info was still there. The accord gas mileage showed up in my car and my trip info showed up in the Accord.
Everything seemed to work fine! Here are some pics form the test. I know! I know! They're blurry.....

that's awesome. im assuming when the 06 TSXs roll out, the monitor calibration issue you experienced shouldn;'t be an option if you were to swap in the new dvd drive to the 04/05 models?
the question is how much it will cost to upgrade to the new one.

The real difference is the speed. After playing with it for a while I realized it wasn't as fast as I thought, but it is definately faster than the 05. Here is a shot with the Zagat reference.

If it hasn't been proven wrong, I am more than willing to try it. Even if it has been proven faulty and I think there is way to make it work, I will still try. We wouldn't have half the inventions in the world if people listened to the "Nay Sayers."

Why?
Because non-navi models have bluetooth as well.
