Car audio installers?

[jdoggg12]

I'm usually pretty good at this on my own, but i'm coming up with nothin....

Anyone know if there's a kit to replace the stock head unit in a 05 Acura TL (w/o Nav)?

I want to put a cd/dvd/nav unit in there and cant seem to find any info on it.


Thanks guys!

BTW, just picked this car up over the weekend.... f-ing love this car!!

They have pretty much anything you could need for your car or at least you could find out what you need and what fits and get it cheaper somewhere else.

Been there already. They didnt have anything that I could use 🙁

The curved outline around the large knobs are probably the most difficult part to fabricate. I found plenty of wiring harnesses, but no install kits with the trim pieces and such

there's a thread on acurazine somewhere (could be a sub-forum) about doing it. It has and can be done but you should have found one that already had it.

God, I'm not sure why you would want to do this. You'll lose DVD-Audio functionality, getting the new deck to play nice with the existing 5.1 speaker setup will be lots of "fun," and you'll have a black screen sitting there doing nothing since the "stereo" unit and the screen are separated in that car. Considering the TL's stereo is widely considered to be one of the best OEM setups money can buy, this seems like messing with a good thing.

Save yourself thousands and get a Garmin.

I'm wanting something like this:

Reasons:
RCA pre-outs for aftermarket amps
Better Navigation interface
DVD movie ability
Easy back-up camera integration
Built in EQ
Aux input for my zune

I'm an SQL audiophile, and high-level inputs are very poor ways to send signals to the amps
