I'm in the process of converting my 06 non nav Tl to navi. I have all of the parts except for the dvd drive in the trunk. I was wondering if a drive from an 05 RL would work in my TL since all of the drives are made by alpine and supposed to be somewhat interchangeable.
Any input would help regarding using another vehicles drive in my TL.
Thanks
Paul

 

nope the wires dont line up and the harnesses are prob different. i just looked it up

 

nope, RL uses 4.xx version, TL uses 3.xx. Also the TL interface is touchscreen, RL is with the knob.

 

thanks for the input
I'll just have to be patient and come across a TL Drive.

 

good points cs i didnt think of that that makes sense too because i was look at the diagram and the rl drive had a few more interface wires than the tl's

 

will a dvd install void the warrenty??

 

do you mean the navi conversion or adding a dvd player to the navi system so you can watch movies on it?

 

adding a dvd so i can watch movies

 

I guess it depends on which part of the warranty you are talking about. Adding a DVD player isn't going to void the warranty on the engine, but if something goes wrong with the audio system, you may have a fight on your hands.

 

Yeah, but stock navi is so worth it!

 

ok thats good info, now where might one obtain a mall dvd for the car?

 

check the blaqckmarket i saw someone selling a small dvd player or u can find them online for cheap just about any company would cut it...they are all pretty much the same
