can someone direct me to finding out how to switch stock radio for nav unit.

is that a hard mission?
is it affordable?
Thank you

 

Converting a TL to navi is possible, but it takes hard work and dedicaiton, and as well some $$$. You can buy the parts from ebay as a kit, the username of the dude is either hondatech or acuratech. Its about 1200-2000 for the kit. Then you spend about 10 hours doing the conversion. Its pretty involved, but it can be done. Try the search feature, a few have done it recently and posted tips.

 

it being affordable depends how patient/lucky your are...my whole thing was to make sure i get it installed with parts below retail..i believe navi option was 2000-2500 bucks...i got 08 navi gui well under that in my 04

wow alot more than i expected!
i really dont want to spend more than 1000
1200 would be pushing it.
and than on top of it a 10 hour labor .
is there a detailed write up with good pics on how this was done?
im sure i can do it but it depends on what kind of PITA itd be

 

its a good high end navi and its clean looking..in my opinion worth to put in below retail if you didnt buy thae car with it...the labors was about 4 1/2 hours for me and he also did my wife's tsx...

 

are you talking about a stock navi?
you have any pics?

 

It's not hard but very involved.

You've got to rip apart your interior and tap into electrical wires.

As other said, be patient and wait for ebay/craigslist to pop up and you can do it fairly cheap. Well under $1K.

 

whats the major cost the unit itself? or all the stuff to put it in ?

 

The DVD unit and display are the big dollar items.

 

i could get the unit and display for 500.
what the next biggest costing item?

 

Take a look @ audio update thread and photobucket.com tsalas469 pics.
Is this what ur looking to do???

 

oh wow that looks good! no i meant just the nav- i keep thinking that the radio is built into the nav.
