Thanks guys for all the kind words!!!!! the installer's name is Martin and yes he installs and sells all the parts necessary for the modification. His email is acurahondatech1@gmail.com. I've sat in many TL's 04 - 06 that had navi and nothing against them but I find the 07 - 08 navi to be noticeably better, it has better screen resolution and way more voice commands. I could have gotten both of them but I paid more in order to get the 07 - 08 Navigation system.

HA I know what you mean, I was in the market not to long ago for a conversion but gave up due to how much it was. Maybe if it was cheaper I would get it done, but my garmin works just as well.

+1 to that. I'd have gotten a bat and stood over the guy to make sure everything got put back together.


What if I have a 08 TL? Anyone know the running price to put Navi into that model?

BTW: OP great job. Makes the car look upscale on another level.

below is the response from Martin

You can swap just the computer in the trunk but then your touch screen will be out of alignment with the buttons on the screen.
The 07-08 computer is $600 and the 07-08 screen is $550.

Martin
here's the information

No amount of money could have persuaded me into thinking that's a good idea. No clue how you figured that mess out. Props to you.

Trancemission, I talked to Martin before and if we can get a few Texas guys to do it then we could all pitch in to get a airplane ticket and Navi system so it would be a "group buy"

How do I reach Martin, I am interested in buying the conversion kit and having him do it. I can't find him on ebay, I have searched for almost an hour. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I am in Nebraska, would drive to Texas for the install. Would be totally fine with that. Seriously want to get this done, need to get a hold of Martin somehow...

What part of FL. I live in GA and have a brother and sister that live in Orlando. Hoping to get a bonus from work for a work trip to CT I'm doing right now and I would definitely have him do this.
