What could it be?...

What could fit in this medium sized box?...


This could!!!


and it comes with the 03NAV DVD

 

lol congrats

 

haha thanks, been wanting to do this for a while!

 

sweet, but whats the other project?

 

did it come with all the wire pigtails and harnesses? or are you hand making them? Do you have a dash bezel?

 

02-03 tl kit I got sitting in the box still

 

came with the harnesses, but they were cut off at about two inches, came with all the brackets

and got the new dash bezel on the way from an oem acura parts website... along with 03 door handles

 

noiiice should be a good project; good luck dude

 

What did your 03' handles cost ya bro? Looking at doing this, and getting rid of my chromies........but scared to mess with taking off the inner door trim!

 

<----- Also wants to know

 

Bout $70 shipped for the two here: Acura Parts

 

YOU DA MAN! lol

 

great choice...navi is the shit

 

Why not buy an aftermarket navi?

Instead of somethin' that is based off of such an old technology?

-Nick-

 

just have a paint shop paint over the chrome. as long as they prep/sand it good you dont need to buy new ones.

 

You think that with the prep work to paint them, and then the actual paint job, it would be more cost effective on my part bro -vs- just buying new OEM ones?

 

can i help? im local

 

+1, i used it before on my buddy's car, i hated that thing...

 

For sure man! Pm me your number and ill give you a call this weekend

 

Well nick, because. Because its oem. Because the double din, cut plastic to make something fit that's not supposed to be there, with an aftermarket headunit -- that look just isn't for me anymore. Because I don't want a suction cup on my windshield. That's why, nick. Because. Hope that answers. So what if its not the newest technology? It still works and serves the purpose right? Yes. I like the clean, oem look of things.

 

If you don't mind me asking how much did it set you back? Been looking to do the conversion myself.

 

i have my pioneer in the stock navi position...

took me a summer but its better than oem and looks oem...

 

ive been wanting to do this...one question...wat did u use to keep it in there? or do u have pics?

 

thank you. this is exactly how i feel, sometimes whats supposed to be there, just looks right. (not hating on aftermarket items, but you guys get the picture) different tastes for different people!

 

one question i've always had is, will the steering wheel controls still work for the volume with aftermarket units?

very true...

hey LIPP, would you post a pic of it?

not 100% sure, but I think

unless you could possibly hardwire? just don't think its possible

 

im at work, you can see johnny's in the photo gallery. posted it a while back. i did it for him as well =D

 

mine do

 

Johnny's? You got a link?

 

i completely agree, i hate looking at my botched HU install

 

I wanna help with the navi install.

'Ey Phee, where's my AZ sticker? How much?

 

i installed the avic d3 with unclad's dash kit and i think i looks a hole lot better than stock and i have the new technology...the only down fall is not having the steering wheel control but theres a module out there that can fix that... and i think it looks flush to me...pics are posted in phot gallery...but to each their own....its all about what YOU like...so much respect to this project....let us know how it goes...

ps: i got the head unit and dash kit for about 700 and the install was so much easier...only took about 2 hours if that....1 to install, another 1 to read the wiring diagram for the harness and get trashed....lol

gl and def take pics...

 

Thanks man, I will for sure

And by the way, I wasn't ragging on the double-din and aftermarket look. I just came from my last vehicle with that setup. How I am, I like to change shit all the time (hence I'm on my 4th set of wheels after having the car for a little over a year)... and with aftermarket stuff I get bored. So it was just a best fit for me to do OEM

 

i can see after doing aftermarket to go oem with style is more interesting...much respect to the project...

 

How did you make it work??? I have an aftermarket Unit and it isn't compatible i guess.. HELP!!!!!!

 

there's a module that you can hook up to it to make it work.

 

thanks to Ryan, All Mine, I got the rest of teh parts needed. Just waiting on them to be delivered and its goin down

 

I wish I could help, but I didn't install it myself.

 

your 3rd project should be reading up on 5cylinder engines.

i had to man sorry.
