Well I have all the hardware for my factory install, but am very nervous the more I talk to installers in the Denver area. Dan...k had his system installed by an installer in the Atlanta area. they charge $500.00 to do the install which is a great deal. I have had scetchy quotes of at least $1000.00 or more. it is the more that makes me nervous. I have contacted the installers in Atlanta and they are extremely tight lipped on the install. I thought if the installer I choose had problems, they could call the guys in Atlanta to get help. NOOOWWWAY What ever happened to networking?? If I drive to Atlanta it will cost me about $700 to $800 plus the install. Has anyone out there had this install done that can help my installer or maybe some one that is closer to me? I have alredy spent $2000.00 on my parts and really do not want to spend more than $3000.00 total. Maybe I am in over my head on this mod. Sorry about the whining. Any suggestions would be great.

 

Maybe give him the detailed instruction with photo we have on this forum? Then see what he says.

Sorry if you already done that.

 

where did you get the parts from? also did you do the extra stuff that Dan...k did? (dvd mod & upgrade sound system)...
I was looking into adding the navi and found the parts to be ridiculously expensive

 

I heard people get parts from ebay and local junk yards cheap

 

hey PAPARAZZI where did u got all the parts from i also want those parts for my 05 tl w/o navi please tell me about it. did u got them through the dealer or junkyard?

 

I found the parts at a salvage yard in Wisconsin called savedparts.com. He had the display unit new and dvd rom unit used. All the other small stuff like the HFL/NAVcontroller for the steering wheel,harness and some brakets were new as well. Im not doing the dvd changer install like dan....k did. Im spending way more on the navi install than I wanted. If you take your time you can find the whole unit from a salvage yard for around $1500.

 

Paparazzi, this a old link that some guy call trashcan did it has the orginal setup on how to install the unit i also got my parts from a junkyard. Look at body shop they have good installer and they would do the work much cheaper.

Thanks I have already printed out all the posts on the conversion and plan on showing it to the installer. some one said to use a body shop for they work on the electical all th time. I have a call into a small acura shop tht has been in business for years. They have a couple of guys that are electrical experts.

 

Have your installer take some picture of the installation so, you can posted on the web site site.
