Hey Anyone know how to convert the Nav system on the Tl to play DVD's

EmuMessenger

Probably too early, but I am anxiously waiting the hack!

keep waiting, MDX doesn't even have the hack yet

turbowhat

ive heard of a private company that offers a $600 after-market adapter to turn a nav system into a TV/dvd player/videogam player/ + other auxiliary devices.

yup, but I think we are trying to avoid the fee and wiring. Search acura-tsc.com for it. I had a thread w/ the link called what is missing

Raheel

It has been done on all the Honda/Acura Cars with Navi, including TSX, Accord, MDX, and 2nd Gen CL/TL

Someone is bound to try it on the 04 TL Soon..

The kit everyone uses is plug and play, and requires no splicing of wires, it has RCA Inputs so you can plug in PS2, DVD, XBOX, VCR, Antenna for local channels, and also hook up a rear view camera to see in reverse

People refer to it as Sams Conversion, I dont rmr the website but I will post it when I find it..

I know Ron will probably end up doing this on someones 04TL

Heres a MDX Guy who tried the conversion

One advantage of the DVD Player is, you can use it to play MP3 CD's and it will show ID3 Tags on Navi Screen! That is what this guy did with his DVD Player

IT has been done on the 04 TSX, so I dont think the TL would be much different

unfortunately it uses the 1 DVD slot, right? Can't have a drive for MP3 cd w/ ID3 tag or DVD movie while keeping the nav operational? waht about http://www.avelectronic.com/10DVDChanger.htm
could that work to solve all wo the other unit?
don't need tv

Raheel

The system itself will go under your seat, you can put the DVD Player under the other seat or be creative..

moreace

It goes in the trunk, or that is how most do it. Prob safer. Also it uses the DVD drive that holds the DVD disc for the nav. Any ideas where to put the back up camera?

moreace

I would want the backup cam by the license plate, but I know stupid kids would screw aroiund w/ it, break it, rip it out..........

EmuMessenger

I am thinking the TL will be a little more difficult, since the unit is mounted on the trunk floor.

Raheel

What are you saying..

Most people put the receiver under the seat so they can access it and plug in A/V Inputs and use the IR Sensor..

Another thing, You buy your own DVD Player, The NAVI DVD doesn't work to show Movies..

Where are you getting your info? :wow:

Raheel

The Backup camera isn't really noticable I Think.

Heres one from the Pilot:



it was originally a pic from hondaacura_world and that word got censored so it didn't work, I rehosted it myself

moreace

!st of all your pic doesn;t work, please repost as I would love to see it

2nd many people attatch it in the trunk wher eit is outta the way and can't be damaged when u drag snow in teh car. My fault about the DVD, I was wrong. The IR sensor is usuallty just run by a wire and mounted by the little storage bins in front (hidden out of sight)
