I think it not the dashboard u need.......u need navi screen,DVD computer...head display /w most important the wiring.....you can buy the wiring already made from a guy on eBay he's in new jersey if your local....

I'm assuming you have a non-navi TL?

If that's the case, you need the DVD unit out of the trunk and the antenna under the rear deck along with a bunch of wiring going from that unit to the front display.

It has connections going to CAN-BUS, head unit, HFL, the reverse lockout under the passenger seat and the extra buttons on the right side of the steering wheel along with switched and constant power.

would the dashbored itself fit on my base model?

Oh, you want to swap the dash? Since you posted in the Electronics subforum, I thought you were referring to the navigation.

I would think so. Go to one of the Acura OEM parts sites and see if the part numbers match.

You should be able to transfer the dash. You will not be able to use the NAVI. You will need to buy a separate harness (through Martin) to install the NAVI. Unless you wanna deal with 79 seperate wires (literally).

Looks like they are identical parts:

I am so confused

I hope we answered your questions.

joe freitas

well i crashed my car and the air bags deployed so we are buying a salvaged car for the parts because this is the cheapest way. if we were to involve insurance they would probably just total it. So the salvaged car happens to have a navi and want to switch that over as well but it seems to much work so now i guess ill just take the dashboard for the air bag lol but yes you did help thanks

If you have the salvaged car, I would do it. There is a lot of wiring but you've got it all there. That is the best scenario.

It does take a lot of research but most of the wiring you need is in the passenger side sills and behind the dash. You're going to be ripping out the dash anyway so it's all going to be exposed.
