TL nav screen vs. Honda Accord
I was wondering about alternatives to Grom and Navtool for a 4G TL with factory nav, and I stumbled across a couple of solutions, but I am not sure they are good ones.
The one that looks somewhat promising and reasonably priced says it's for Honda Accord 2008-2012. https://www.ecrater.com/p/22418253/c...pgrade-car-gps - this has good photos, but there is another website with a much better price, under $300US. This is a replacement screen which contains the multimedia functions, you keep your factory radio, and it seems to connect to AUX. It looks like you get a replacement microphone and GPS antenna too. I can't tell if it's truly Android thus would have the possibility of Apple Carplay / Android Auto. So if the nav screen and connectors are the same as the 4G Acura TL, then this is viable. If anyone has torn everything apart and knows whether this is a match, please reply. I would imagine you still lose the display of what temperature your HVAC is set to, so that's a bummer.
The other solution I saw is this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001196888218.html - has Carplay in it, but similar price to Grom/Navtool unless I can get to who really makes it. The brand that is listed is not found on the net other than on this page, the sellers don't have a website for them.
Obviously, both solutions have to be purchased from far east suppliers and if you run into difficulty with the product/installation, you are probably screwed. It takes a day or more to get a response.
