Video and Amp Integration For TSX...

Can anyone help me find the Female and Male Navigation Harness for the trunk. I only want the plug part so I can pin it myself But i cant seem to find out where to buy it. I called acura and they dont think they sell it. I can help every one out alot with Amplifier and Video integration I just need the Female and Male Plug that I can purchase. Also I am looking for the Female Plug for the Acura Tsx pioneer made amplifier and I will be able to make an integration tool that you will all LOVE. Please if anyone can help me find these parts I will be very greatfull and when I create the product I will give you a break on price. Thank you very much. Get at me.

They are not available to public.. I exhausted every resource possible in trying to find them.. But you never know.. Good luck..

Most plugs out there are custom molded..

Integration.

I basically have the resources to make a plug and play amp bypass in order to add amps using the Navigation units built in front and rear pre amp outputs. This will make it so much easier for people due to the fact all they would have to do is pull out the 20 pin and 14 pin connectors from the amp and plug it into my harness and they would have front and rear rcs pluss remote wire along with all speaker wires. Do you think this would be a good venture. I am also working on a video input for the Navi that I am willing to sell for 1/2 the price of all the ones on the market now but I will be using the best of the best parts to make it. = ) Lets put it this way, I am a broadcasting major at montclair state university and I have a friend who is a broadcast video engineer who will be working with me to build it. If you all have any ideas on what should be integrated into the video input module please let me know and I will consider it. I was thinking of adding a unit that will tilt your mirrors to the curb when the car is put in reverse. also a back up camera, and it will be able to work with a momentary button such as the factory acura buttons that will fit in the open tsx slot... Nice flush factory look. Let me know whats up and if you are interested please help because im not looking to make alot of money I just am an enthusiest that wants to help the community. LATER!

A broadcast major? Maybe you should switch over to engineering with all these ideas you have. So you think you can put out a video conversion unit for half the price of Doms unit? I'll go halfs on it with ya! And to give you a heads up on the whole amp/rca conversion, forget even touching the plug that runs between HU and the OEM amp! If anything, you would want to use LOCs on the 4 door speaker outputs for your OEM amp. Unless of course you have some new fandangle contraption that miraculously surpresses the 2.5vac our HU puts out.

The miracle would be to supress the AC signal to 0V and get sound.

There is no AC problem. It is just a misunderstanding from the differential/balanced HU line outs thread. The AC being referred to is in fact, the audio signal.

Looking through the Acura parts list the amplifier part number is 39186-SEC-A02 listed at $429. Im assuming this is the female end and a male plug goes into the amp? Not sure where to find the harness or plug, maybe a junkyard like someone else mentioned. I'll look around online also. Good luck with this project, it would be nice if it could all be done.

Junkyard is your best bet honestly.. Then you will have to pay to have a mold made up and duplicated.. That's why the Plug-n-Play harnesses the vendors sell with the Navi conversion is so expensive..

No. And not to be too pessimistic, but I don't think you'll find one. The amp connector is one piece, with a 14 pin and 20 pin section.

Maybe you could look elsewhere in car for that connector in the hopes of a cheap part. The mirror adjustment knob has a connector about that size - I'm not saying it's a 14 pin-er, but I did just handle it today and it's neither a large nor small connector. Even if it were 14pin, the switch probably isn't cheap and you'd have to crack it open to get at the pins... But, maybe, maybe somewhere in the car is the connector you need (aside from the amp).

If someone can get a clear picture of it I can try and search around for other connectors similar to OEM..

I have a picture I will put up when i get home because i am at my girlfriends house right now but a junk yard is a good idea. Not likley I will find a tsx there but its a start. i definitley think that 14 pin connector is used in the car for another application I just cant find it yet. i already have the female plug for the 20 pin with the speaker wires. I just need the 14 and I can start to make a proto-type. The money to replicate the unit for sale does not matter at this point because I am making a prototype. I will have more than enough funding to replicate after the prototype is made. all the help is greatly appreciated. I am almost ready to build as soon as I find that damn 14 pin connector.
