I would say stick to google maps or another newer third party gps, it's not that worth it. that's just my opinion, but if you reallly like it then go for it.

Idc about the maps; just want the navi look. Besides my cd player crap out so I think its the best time to do an upgrade.

you're wasting your time and money if you do OEM nav conversion.
if you're spending about 1200 on it JUST FOR LOOKS. lol
because we all know that the nav SUCKS.
there's no point to it other than looking pretty.

if you were to spend 1200 on a carpc or tablet upgrade; it would be functional AND look pretty.

its a no brainer.
please dont waste money on the factory nav.

I get what you are saying. That is why I said I need to do some more research because I have read some threads where they have done the carpc and the tablet and lost some features i.e. bluetooth, volume control dispay, ac display, and other things (not saying they all lost them just here and there). I only consider the stock only because it will be easier to install.

mine works perfectly fine.
he'll have to give me 1500

seriously tho; there's no point in doing the nav conversion.
spend the 1200 else where. like correct spec'd tires.

Cool,ill help you test out the wideband & all

but compared to Acura speculated tires no,

youre messing with the gearing & speedometer.

Have you ever compared the speed on your dash

together with those neighborhood speed detectors?

I noticed on my car with the 235/35 my speed at less

than 60 were spot on or less than 1mph,

but as soon as i start going higher than that my speedos

off by 3-4mph (my aspecs were off by 2/3mph with 235/40).
