I'm currently on 225/40/19 on 8.5 and scared 225/35/19 would look too skinny. How's the handling/ride comfort? Side pics of the wheels showing the tyres/fitment etc?

Thank you!

Edit: Don't know how your rears seem more sunk in? Or maybe cause my car is more low?

My rears are 9.5 on 245/35 as well.
thanks man will take pictures sometime this week weather now suck its raining almost every day lol
front fenders are untouched i rub a little when going over big bumps but im also stiff all the way rear fenders are rolled up to the point where the panel meet the rear bumper but will roll the fender little more for more room i went with 225/35 because thats the common tire for stretch look

my was showing the info but i f... up one of the harness when was installing the unit so now i need to figure out what how to make it work again lol

The DVD/NAV system that you installed looks great!!! I hope you dont mind if i ask a few questions.

1. I see that the unit comes with its own Bluetooth unit... does it work with the one thats preinstalled in the vehicle? if not, does it work with the mic thats arleady preinstalled in the car, or does it use the one that is built into the unit. I ask because i have a dvd nav in my truck with built in bluetooth and mic, and the sound isnt too good because its too far away!

2. I see it also has a built in tuner for radio, again does it use that, or the one thats built in (or does all that get replaced?)... also does it have RDS.. and show the artist, song info etc?

3. I know you dont ahve sirius xm, but that is supposed to continue to work with this unit? and it will show artist info?

4. The site you listed in your thread,,, that where you bought it from? and can you please link the coupon code you used? Also which camera did you buy?

5. How is the GPS? does it look nice, and is it accurate? same with the screen... is it high resolution?

6. How is the fitment of the device, both where the screen is, and where the dvd unit is placed? is it perfect... are there spaces/gaps?

Sorry for all the questions, but ive been looking for something like this for a while, and would love to get it for myself. Also, when will you be at the next meet? I would love to see this in person.

Thanks!

Once you insatll the unit you need to use the one that is build in the unit the mic is build in screen and it pickups voice almost as good as the build in car

2. I see it also has a built in tuner for radio, again does it use that, or the one thats built in (or does all that get replaced?)... also does it have RDS.. and show the artist, song info etc?

it uses the stock tuner it show all the info

3. I know you dont ahve sirius xm, but that is supposed to continue to work with this unit? and it will show artist info?

i tried to play the xm and the commercials that they playing are playing so i guess the xm radio would work too

4. The site you listed in your thread,,, that where you bought it from? and can you please link the coupon code you used? Also which camera did you buy?

I'll look for the coupon code and will post link to the site i got it from i didnt pick any specific model so they sent me a sony camera which work really good even in really dark places

5. How is the GPS? does it look nice, and is it accurate? same with the screen... is it high resolution?

did use the gps a lot but so far it work really well and fast screen has really good picture quality

6. How is the fitment of the device, both where the screen is, and where the dvd unit is placed? is it perfect... are there spaces/gaps?

fitment is perfect no gaps or cutting/molding necessary

Sorry for all the questions, but ive been looking for something like this for a while, and would love to get it for myself. Also, when will you be at the next meet? I would love to see this in person.
Thanks!
glad i can help i will go to menlo every week now sync im done with school so hopefully you can come and check it out yourself

thanks for the reply... i know the siriusxm will only show the preview channel, but did it display text info for that channel on the screen?

will definitely swing by this week or next to check out this unit!

Also, does the HandsFreeLink not appear anymore then?

if weather is looking up, we should try to get all the TSX's around here to show up to menlo, or we can have our own little meet closer to the GWB during the day at the docks in englewood/fort lee if people don't have work, and get pictures of the city in the background and stuff

your stance is fu*king perfect and the rims couldn't fit your car any better. I love a roof rack on a sporty car if it can pull it off - 3 series bimmers, WRXs etc. I looked at some pics of other TSXs with roof racks and didn't think it fit well. But man, yours looks great.

Hey Tob,
See below reply i got form smartauto24.com, dunno why they are recommending the EURO version for the US TSX. I was specifically asking the difference between the two: Model HDA7110 (yours) and Model HDA8989


Thanks for the inquiry.
For Acura TSX,we recommend FY800ACCEU.
We had a customer from US,he had ordered this model for his 2010 Acura TSX.From his feedback to see that FY800ACCEU can work normally with his vehicle except shows air conditioning and radio on the device.
The model FY800ACCEU is specially designed for Honda Accord EUROPEAN(not Acura TSX).Acura TSX is the same car as the honda accord,everything looks the same but in USA they are selling it as a acura tsx,dash board is the same as the european accord.

We tested the product in our own country,all the functions work normally,such as radio,navi,music display,shows air conditioning and radio on the device etc.(refer to the attached picture)
So if you are very very care about this function,we dont recommend you to order this product.
Notice our products is designed for Honda Accord,not Acura TSX,so we cant guarantee for the information of air conditioning and radio.
Please let us know your opinion.


We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please do not send another email. Instead, reply to this email or login to your account for a complete archive of all your support requests and responses.

Did i mention your car looks sick !!! awesome job

I received the same message from them as well. I asked them if they had any US feedback for the Spirior version but never answered that question. Wonder what the $50 difference is.
