Ok so i had my TL for like 6 months now so far i have tinted all my windows like 15 percent lol thats just about it, i get sensitive to light so i get away with it per my optision, but there are a few things i wanna do for now to my TL that i need a lil advice from u Acura zurus....my TL didnt come with the navi unit jus the regular radio and i want to put the stock navi in there which i found on ebay for 450 but i wanna kno if there is a better option? And if i did buy that stock oem unit that the guy was sellin couldnt i but an alpine din thats the same size and all and replace the one it comes with....any and all help is needed...and any other suggestions for a beginner would be wise...its a nightwawk TL with a ebony interior 45000 miles ruins awesome jus wanna put the dash in there maybe 2 headrest some 19 inch rims backup sensor u know? Stuff to appreciate it alittle more any help?

The navi for 450 isn't the complete thing, the complete one is upwards of 2000 dollars, it will have the antenna, dvd drive, screen, upper display, whole length car wire harnesses, and other misc. components to put it in. If you want to do it, the same guy selling it installs it for an extra 500 dollars and guarantee's his work.

A double din will fit, however you will need a custom faceplate, and as well the HFL system wouldn't work anymore.

just great lol so basically i gotta pay 2500 to get the navi baq in and if not and i do a dash then i dont have my HFl i love so much any more...sounds like a lose lose since i aint strapped with money like that whats ur recommendation then or anyone else? oh and i live in ak but i lived in orlando for the last 4 years (jus thought id toss that in there since ur from fl)

perhaps itll be cheaper to jus check and see for a TL with that stuff already

The thing is that your new double DIN unit may have a bluetooth module in it. What year TL do you have, 45K on an 04-05 is pretty good!

In all honesty, your best bet right now is to just get a tom tom if you want navi. At 19, there are so much better things you can spend 2500 dollars on. If you really want factory integration and everything, it'll be 2500-3000 dollars depending on where you get the stuff from.

its an 06 TL Nice ass car mainainted 100 percent...also there is a 07 TYPE S for sale for like 5 thousand more than what i owe on my TL and it has 15 thousand less miles it comes with the dash already the nicer rims the back up sensor and all except there isnt navi here in alaska so idk if thatll work but the main reason i wanted the dash is cuz it has a screen as far as watching a movie goes for my new born son soon to be here, granted i will have to get it hacked but im sure i can get the info for that on here, but what do u think....truly i think its a better deal

if you want a screen for your son, why dont you just install one in the headrest. Itll be much cheaper and more feasible since he will be in the back seat anyways...

please don't scare the kid.

if you want your factory navigation with everything included, it will be around $1699 if you don't look around. i can tell you cause i did a lot of research and mine was done, 100% navigation conversion. The best thing to do is search online for parts, (ebay, car-parts.com) try buying the navigation drives, screen, subdisplay. the harness from martin might be a good idea, it might sound expensive but is well worth it cause it is a plug and play harness ($500). If you or anyone have knowledge of building your own harness is even better. Email him to send you his prices on the different parts that you need so you can compare and shop around. on ebay i found the subdisplay for $37 dollars, he charges $200 and the dealer charge $300+.
The screen i found it in a junkyard for $75 he sell it for $200. if you really look u can have the navi for $1000 or less.

if you live close to new york city he will install it for you for around $100, if not he will send you the complete kit cause there's a lot of other little things you might need that are not listed, like the voice command, and voice command button, the GPS antenna etc (this is all included in the martin package)

I'm in the middle of doing the conversion right now as we speak. You will want to go for the 07-08 Navi parts as it is very much updated compared to the system from 04-06. Here is a thread that will guide you: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-audio-bluetooth-electronics-navigation-94/04-tl-acura-tl-non-navi-08-navi-conversion-739375/

The best thing I can tell you is to be patient and look for bottom prices on all your parts. Good luck. Don't hesitate to ask questions. We are here to help.
