I have an 04 acura to w/ navigation & my radio crapped out. I was planning on replacing it with another factory radio, but I was inquiring if it matters if I use a radio that was with a navigation unit or not.

 

Theyre the same

 

You need a radio with the same number on the cassette player door. Not all are compatible with every year TL

 

If your wanting to stay oem Jessie Levi Kelley on 3rd gen FB pages does a radio mod that would upgrade it over just buying a used radio and sticking it.

 

he told me he did one radio mod for a type s and will never do another one again haha. i asked him about modding my type s radio and he said way too complicated and that he is done with them haha

 

Yeah I made that mistake. I have a 04 TL and I bought an 05 radio and every thing works except for the phone (HFL) part. When you press the phone button on the steering wheel nothing happens. no big deal for me though.

 

LMAO ohhh he is gonna do another one. Im going out to his place this summer and were going to re wire my car with a Type S Harness front to back to accommodate flashpro the navi and the radio. I have an 04 myself but we decided to take on this tedious task

 

haha nice! but yea i'm sure he won't do it for anyone else he said it was an insane amount of work for him

 

Yes it is. Trust me he texted me every day when he was dealing with the last one he did.

 

Thanx for the info, I ended up replacing my radio w/ the same model number as the cassette door on my previous radio.

 

This is how I straightened out my radio problem:
