na man dont even bother wit the orinal one from acura unless u wanna spend over $3000 just for navigation.....the best way to do it is by getting an aftermarket double din and custom make a radio kit for it cuz they dont sell one

don't listen to this guy, go OEM try looking at the junk yard for the part and try finding parts for the 07-08 navigation which is a better nav. It willl come with video converted for back up cam installations and video input for your screen (with some mod) there's alot of DIY on how. double din looks ugly and stupid. Go with martin he did my 04 intstallation and then i upgrade to a 08 navi plus he did the backup cam video switch and AUX connection. there;s no way to tell that my car was base (i guess from the vin # you might)

if you try finding the part yourself you might be looking to around 1k, if you go with martin is under 2k installed (no headache) with warranty parts and labor.
