Ilx 2.4L Mod
Hey guys! I would like to thank this forum for steering me in the right direction for buying my ILX. After my SI received a fatal case of tree poisoning (thanks Sandy!), it was time to get a new car. I did my research, and after being very disappointed with the '12 Si, I took a 2.4L ILX out for a spin, and I fell in love. I am very happy with my new car, but like others on the forum, there are somethings that Acura could/should have done better. I am not impressed with the speakers, and I am also not impressed with the 5 inch screen that is lacking Nav. I am wondering how difficult would it be to replace the display/head unit with the one from the tech package? I know that I can do something about the speakers.
Thanks! |
It's not worth it. You'd have to buy a new screen and accompanying dash pieces as well as a new head unit and amplifiers. You're better off using your phones gps with turn by turn navigation. Google Maps works fabulously.

If all else fails spend $100 on a GPS, will save you thousands from having to do all that swapping if your phone doesnt work out.

Car manufacturers charging so much for the nav option are not really in keeping with todays tech pricing. Sure I can see a premuim for being built in, but the option really isn't worth more than $1,000 on a new car. Ford does it this way, paying less than $1,000 to add the GPS "feature" to the screen.
I do like the built in look and integration, but it is getting hard to justify the cost. |
Yea, but the Acura tech package adds a host of other features as well. I wouldn't mind having forked over the extra 2k for a tech with integrated navi.

I coulda kept my Snickers cool if I had Tech Pck.. instead it's all mooshy :what: |
Sorry to thread jack, but on the subject of SatNav...Is everyone continuing his/her subscription to weather and instant traffic?
I still find myself using Google maps even with the Tech package! |

I still find myself using Google maps even with the Tech package! The only issue I have with the navigation is that I wish the safety feature could somehow be disabled. It's ridiculous to try to use the voice command feature to get an address in. Maybe it's just my southern drawl. |
I know I reviving this thread from the dead but did anyone ever attempt to retrofit nav on a 2.4 manual? Anyone have a list of parts needed? Would consider buying a Canadian dynamic with nav but apparently doesn't have tpms and thus not legal to import
