I was wondering if the mdx shares the same radio as the TLX .... The reason I'm asking is because Naviks released a video and a module for video mirroring that works with MDX... I was contemplating ordering the MDX module for my TLX.... Navtool isn't even an option for me anymore...

 

i thought about the same option for a while and based on navik's mdx install manual and what i know of the tlx audio it should work. not that it should be total surprise that both share the same connections in the back.

no one on the tlx forum has installed a naviks module however since unlike the navtool crooks the naviks folks won't market their module until they've tested it on each model. you're better off talking with naviks directly. if you live in or near nyc i believe they'll do you a deal in exchange of doing one of their videos with your car.

 

i forgot to mention that naviks (or navtool for that matter) simply works as a glorified switch that works to feed multiple video feedback instead of just one to the top screen. think of it as an external HDMI switch for your TV which requires just a physical or radio controlled button to move between say your Apple Tv and your Xbox in your single HDMI input TV. it requires no tinkering with the radio software so chances of a mdx module working in a tlx is very high.

 

This looks pretty good. While Acura works on the TLX MMR I was thinking a manual Accord Sport to hold me over...but Sport does not have Apple CarPlay. This seems to provide that functionality. Mirroring looks like a great option to get Navi, Waze, etc.

Let us know if you do it and how it turns out. Looks like you have to purchase two pieces of hardware (mirror interface and video interface), and then the install. Total cost does not look too bad.
