So, basic question, please don't get mad ... I bought the GROM adapter to play AUX music on my 05 RL and it didn't work (I did on my NSX and worked fine UGH... ) .. so here is my question:

Can I purchase an 08 RL Radio (the whole center console) and just replace it? Are they compatible?

I can't stand burning CD's every week almost, and I have this car for ages ...

Thank you gentleman!

PS: I am sorry if this question is stupid but I did searched without success ....

dude get the usa spec bt45 i got mine on ebay 160 and for my 05 its been the best thing ive done to my acura and the sound quality sounds better than premiums stereos on the market today

The GROM should've worked. Why didn't it?

The 2 USASpec options are your next best bet. The '08 headunit will be compatable in theory, but you will only gain a 3.5mm female harness. You will still need the plug, wiring, and male harness.

Purchased wiring harness from eBay and just bypass the xm. Spent less than $20 but it involves soldering the unit together. I didn't bother connecting the switch to utilize xm since I haven't renewed the subscription. Just purchase y-splitter(ebay) and jack from radio shack.

Would you mind telling me precisely which unit you bought and if it's a DIY install?

Thanks

I have the other USA spec unit just for ipod integration. 4+ years of flawless operation. Make sure you get the unit that works with navigation unless yours is non navigation.
