Hey...
My car is a non-navi... at the time i didn't want the navi but now i sort of regret it. From what i gather... all that the navi has over the non-navi is the extra antenna and a different head unit (excluding HandsFreeLink controls). You guys think an acura dealer (if not another dealer) would install this head unit? It seems if i got the head unit as a replacement part from acura... then had someone install it as if it was just another aftermarket navi unit.

 

The display above the head unit is different also. On non-navi car all it displays is the clock but on navi cars it displays the A/C settings as well as the phone icon. Also, I'm not sure that the Navi unit would jut be plug and play. The wireing harness may be different. You;ll also be missing the voice control button on the steering wheel. It just seems like to much trouble to me.

 

Sorry you are out of luck I believe. I tried to get one with a 2003 TLS since you couldn't get navi in Canada at the time. I even tried to make a deal with Acura. The entire wiring harness is different and it can only be done at the factory level plus all the voice stuff etc. I skipped on the 2003 and waited for the 2004 that had the navi option.

 

There is proper sub-forum for this topic. I'm moving it now...

 

I,m wondering how difficult is the conversion for my TL ?? In Canada, the Navigation system is not available with the 6 speeds...

Fortunately the 6 speeds arrive with the bluetooth, so I could just need both screens (the small and biggest ones) and the antenna stuff. I'm wondering how much it could cost....
