Has anyone converted a base model TSX to a tech package model?
Like changing the from audio system and navigation.

 

some people have done after market upgrades, but i don't think to the stock equivalent of the tech package.

 

nah.. but no point; it's not that great. A better, cleaner solution is to get a double din bezel, get rid of all the fugly ass buttons, and get a double din unit (and whatever audio bits you need/want). Honda makes an OEM double din bezel for our car.. but it's expensive, but there are alternatives. Check the Audio/BT/Electronics forum for a thread on aftermarket units. There's a lot of information there.

 

The metra bezel is only $30.

 

man i'd like to know this too... maybe some people have done it...

 

who wants to make their tech or non look like the SE on the INSIDE?

i have all the parts heading to the for sale shortly. all except for the actual headliner.

 

I might want some of those parts. along with your downpipe probably

 

you can probably have the downpipe if you want it,
i am trying a bit local AS IS with the oem parts too but I doubt I can sell it like that.
Most likely a de-mod. then you got first dibs.

 

as far as the SE parts I have just about everything brand new from acura except the headliner.
my plan was to cover my existing headliner but if you have the sedan you have the option of just buying the black headliner.


black sunroof insert with black handle
black base for large cabin light.
all 4 handles black
black sunvisors with black mounts
black overhead console tech capable
black A pillars with new single use pins
black B pillars
I cant remember if I have or needed C pillars.
i think thats it.


i have lots of other spare parts peeps can play with.
I have a full set of door sills. always wanted to have some text cut out and lit with led.
I have a center console cover I wanted to do some custom leather work.
I have the 4 piece dash trim.

I have a white set of exleds and a blue too.
weathertech
depo headlights custom turn signals oem ballast and igniter. REAL Philips CBI bulbs 5000K. clear lens, amber devil eyes.
i got some HID ballast and 3 or 4 sets of bulbs.

I have honda door projectors, acura door projectors.

work wheels with conti dws

adams double slot rotors. might just let them go with car and sell the oem rotors and pads they have less than 5K.

26K back to stock
28K as is PLUS ALL THE PARTS everything.

11,300 miles.

 

big up to you for the SE conversion; definitely a subtle, OCD-type conversion that many wouldn't even bother looking up the PNs for. Sad to see your car go

 

i just dont use it. I have my old Jeep for a DD, el camino for mods.


its just depreciating; and my old jeep is getting OLD so I could use the money from the acura equity
and use it to buy a 10K replacement for the jeep. then i have a good DD and no $500 car payment.

DD must have 4wd with LO, probably look at 10 YO wranglers. low mileage is what I like.
or a nice silverado/




and the SE stuff is all BNIB or bag or whatever acura shipped it to me. its all BRAND NEW
except the overhead I bought from KK but it looks brand new too.

I never did the conversion. all i did was take some oem a pillars and paint them black.
thats as far as I got






selling the wagon has me torn......its a ton of fun when i use it.
it will be even 'kooler' if i continue with my mods.

but I still never use it; dont need it. and the nicer it is the less I want to PARK it somewhere or even let it out of my site.
this happened with my last MOD car and I went way overboard then one day just said "F THIS" unmod and sell. and start over. it had about the same mileage as the wagon but it was almost 5 years old when i traded it for the wagon.


blah blah blah shut up robpp

 

Well, projects come and go. If you value what you think financially makes sense more more than the value of keeping a modded wagon that you rarely even drive, then yeah it makes sense why you'd want to get rid of her.

Good luck

 

Just install an iPad

 

search around the forums. there is someone that installed a nexus 7 g1 into their basic TSX

 

this is best

that was me.




This is the best option imo.

I will be upgrading the tablet soon and getting rid of the n7 G1 if anyone wants it.

 

What's the new tablet gonna be?

 

2013 nexus 7 probably.

 

I want this mod. i was planing on doing the ipad. how are you controlling the tablet?

 

Look at the "aftermarket HU options" thread, i posted a detailed writeup on how i did it
