Ok, here it is - 2005 Acura TSX w/AVIC-D1 custom installed - pics and videos!
Pioneer AVIC-D1 was modified w/a custom made flexible flat cable to extend the screen off the rest of the unit - the main unit was relocated to the lower compartments and the factory drawer cover was molded onto the motorized part of the D1. The factory circuit board, which is one full piece, had some slight modifications done to it, but we can return it to stock, believe it or not, with just replacing the front trim piece that we molded the D1 screen into.

^ im thinking you just leave it in there. theres no real reason to take it out anyways.
this is such a sick/clean install. very very creative and just flat out smart.

StreetEffectz, could you go into more detail concerning how you modified the circuit board? Is the faceplate to the stock HU still under your custom faceplate?

There is still access to the navi disc, when you press and hold the open button it goes down ALL the way - I just took pics with it opened for the CD slot

The factory circuit board is still fully in-tact - the factory faceplate is there, but we took all the radio buttons out and molded our trim piece into it. If we ever went back to stock.

When you remove the screen from the rest of the unit, it's probably about 3/4" thick - we took the back of the screen off to mold the factory drawer cover into though and it made it a LITTLE less thick.
No, you cannot take the screen off the D1 normally - it's screwed on.

Is there any way you guys can do this install on my TL? $3,000 seems like a very fair price being that the factory navi is $2,000 and this does a lot more than just navigate.

Hopefully you can show some pics and video clips like you did with the TSX. Just curious how long did it take for you to complete the TL? Very interested in getting this done.

How did you do that?
Did you use the PAC SWI and place and IR transmitter somewhere with clear line of sight to the D1?

Do you think it would be possible to wire it so that it will still retain control of the factory HU, along with the Pioneer deck?
I have a TSX with a AVIC-N2 in the storage bin. I have it hooked up into the AUX input of the factory HU so I still use both stereos.
I know that there is a PAC-SWV out that will let me control both, but that uses IR, and isn't hardwired.

Basically, if you're into audio. It has everything that the OEM deck doesn't have. The OEM deck in the TSX only has controls for Bass and Treble. There are no other settings besides fade and balance.

First of all keep in mind that I did my install over a year ago. At the time I wanted to keep my steering wheel controls and there was not a hardwired solution that would allow me to do that. I always knew about the IR solution, but heard a lot of bad things about it. And since I already had a SNHOND3, I went ahead and installed it thinking that if I didn't like the sound I would just wire everything directly from the AVIC. I ended up liking the sound enough to start moving onto engine and exterior mods. That's pretty much where I'm at now. I'm almost finished with my engine and exterior mods, so maybe I'll move back to the stereo again. If you take a look at my sig sometime, you'll see that I've been busy.
Now that RON told me about the new PAC SW-PS, I'll probably go back and rewire everything. Although I still really like how my system sounds, I also realize that I'm not using my components to their fullest potential.
It's tough though, everytime I am set on rewiring I get distracted with another mod or gadget. My latest distraction is the new video Ipod. I'm trying to find a way to have full control of the the video Ipod, while keeping it concealed. I have the Pioneer IB100, but unfortunately the Ipod cuts off the video output once it is hooked up to the IB100. I want to find something that will allow me to keep the Ipod concealed, have it turn on and off with ignition, and also charge it at the same time.
Any ideas Ron?

StreetEffectz, have you had anyone come in with a new video Ipod looking for cool ways to integrate it into there system?
Any ideas on how I could make the Ipod turn off and on with the ignition, or control the Ipod with it being mounted in a hidden location?
