^ Did you get it done? I hope you did.

I did 2 mods past few month. I was busy so I did it little by little. That's why it took me so long. First one is none navi to factory navi conversion. I like factory look. Second one is integrating v1 concealed display inside of rear view mirror. I've wanted this for a long time. finally, I did it. It's not like professional job, but I'm very happy w/result.








I didn't use my original rear view mirror. I used Gentex mirror.





There's auto dimming sensor in CD. I did't want it dim. so I just bypass it.

Did you use old steering wheel buttons for radio control ? Or you got them elsewhere

Thanks dude!

Streetka- yeah I'm positive. 99,00 and 01 look almost identical to cl tl control.
02,03 and 04 are different(like mine on RSX wheel. more like square shape). If you check honda part#, 99,00 and 01 are same part# and 02,03 and 04 are same part# .

I didn't man, but I saved your instructions for future reference. I didn't have the extra $200+ bucks right now.

I found the steering wheels themselves for cheap, but everyone charges an arm and a leg for the airbag...

thanks again!

yes, I'm gonna make DIY for V1 mirror soon or later. It's not that hard at all.
and it's not main unit. The one in the rear view mirror is CD. Anyway I'll make DIY.
For wheels, Advan RS sitting in my room. You should get RL brake set up. I bet you will love those too. You won't regret it!

nice work. the car looks great! that charger makes it even nicer!!!

Thanks. I will do DIY soon.


love the mirror mod.

the wilwoods have 4 pistons as well. I agree with you on the rl looking better because it says acura thats why I would rather have them too.
