Jealous of '06 TSX Owners Nav
I don't know if this is old but I was looking through the TSX forums and the new '06 nav screens are so much nicer. Ridiculous.
What was Honda thinking before '06? Compared to this, seems like the screen in my TL is being wasted...

The 07 TLs? Im thinking more of the 06 TSX units in the TL. But with people saying the unit along is like 2,000, its an expensive change. Really want the screen to look like that though.

im sure that the 07 TL's will be much better than the 06 TSX Navi....i would bet my life that the TL will have the Zagats Survey shit.....and the TL will have a nicer set up....plus there are some features the TL has that the TSX dosn't have so not all features would work...

I wonder if swapping the bootstrap file would work like it does now on our nav disc. I'm running the '05 TSX bootstrap to get the trip computer on the nav screen. Has anyone tried that yet (I would if I could get my hands on the new disc).

I haven't pulled apart the nav myself to see what its like but I'm sure you could interface with the drive somehow to extract the data.

Simply swapping the new TSX navi DVD disk into our TLs probably won't do it. My guess is the DVD is just a newer version and will have updated maps for the TL, but the interface will be the same. The DVDs we currently use have software versions for multiple acura/honda vehicles, but something in the nav hardware unit forces it to load a certain software version.
You could try to use the trick others are using to enable the trip computer in our TL. Basically, copy the file the new TSX is currently using, but rename it to the file the TL loads. Then burn it to a CD and load it using the diagnostic screen (the same way as described in the hack navi thread or the trip computer thread). If the hardware hasn't changed too much, the new TSX software should load. You'll have the new interface with Zagats but don't expect any speed improvement (if anything, should be slower).
Now if it fails to load, you're on your own. Hopefully, if you disconnect the nav unit from the battery long enough, you can get it to reload the old software from the original DVD.
