'06 TL non Navi - Custom In Dash Navi Installation

Hey Folks,

I am new to the forum and new to a TL as well. I recently purchased an '06 TL, non Navi and am thrilled with the car. So far so good!

However, the lack of Navi, aux inputs for iPod/iPhone/Android phones has been causing a lot of frustration lately. I drive a lot and enjoy it as well. Music has been key on these long trips. Being a geek, I had moved on from CDs and I have to say I was surprised that the TL didn't have AUX inputs either (lack of research to blame here!!).

Enough of the story, the purpose of this thread is to help other 3rd gen TL owners share their stories on custom in dash installs. I searched the forum and did find some threads. I would like to take the liberty to put them all in one place and hopefully track my story of doing the upgrade myself as well.

I am currently considering the following Double-Dins:
a. Alpine INE-Z928HD
b. Kenwood Excelion DNX-9990HD

Both are new 2012 models announced at the CES 2012. Launch is scheduled in the second quarter of 2012.

And here are the collection of threads I have come across so far. These posts seems to have died. The posts I have come across so far and thanks to the thread owners:

a. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...2&ref=esp-link

b. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...2&ref=esp-link

c. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...5&ref=esp-link

I understand that this will have to be a custom job. I am currently considering finding Pros who can complete the install. Would love any thoughts, feedback you guys can share.

Thanks in advance!
