Poor navigation quality?

I took my TSX in for service and was given the choice to choose any car in the Acura line-up to use as a loaner. I was rather curious about the ZDX so that was an obvious choice.

The car didn't wow me at all. Sure, the car had more torque and a extremely smooth ride but other than that I've found myself pulling into gas stations far more often, double checking blindspots and folding down seats to fit ONE golf bag in.

One thing I loved about the ZDX is the navigation. Crystal clear screen, interface was pleasing and easier to use, silky smooth and didn't take as long to load song folders and such.

I'm pretty intent on upgrading.

My question is, could I find a wrecked MDX/RDX/TL and just take its brains and screen and make a pretty cut and dry swap or will there be a different and much easier way to reap the features of an updated system? Possibly a new software?

Any answers?

What year is your TSX? They upgraded the nav system in 2011.

Pretty sure if you checked out any 11 TSX/TL/etc you'd be wow'd by the same factors. Like ceb said, they upgraded the system in the 11s. Doubt it'd be a clear and cut swap if you tried to.
