Need help navigation not working

[@PiterStreak]

Wiring isn't my strong suit. I sent my stereo wires to you guys and you guys did a terrific job. Everything was plug and play. No splicing. The joying radio still works great and sounds fantastic. Now I need to upgrade the factory sub lol. Thinking about taking the car to you guys

[@anthonyp7338]

For TL family he is the truth this install was so simple 😌 his product is excellent first time buyer much support thank you

[@christamarie9929]

Yo, your videos are pure gold! There is no way I would be able to even think about doing the install on my TL without your products and videos. Thank you.

[@M1NTMOTORS]

I bought the plug and play harness and its definitely official highly recommend!

[@crowtownsfinest82]

Just ordered the plug n play with steering wheel controls & parking bypass. Can't wait to try them out! Appreciate you guys making the stereo install as easy as possible.

[@jimmylovelace4050]

Just bought my first 05 TL yesterday. As soon as the radios is ready for purchase I’ll be buying y’all’s hook up option.. I wasn’t even going to second guess even before you explained it! 😂

[@BassRocket]

Looking to upgrade the stereo in my 2006 TL w/ NAV. It sounds decent as it is, especially for it being a 2006 model but I love my music when I’m driving. I’m also a certified Honda/Acura technician but I still had questions on how to wire up the sound system I wanted to install. Great video.

[@jacobsowell8469]

Yeah, I enjoy wiring up radios and soldering everything but these 3G TLs are the stop sign for me. This kit is going to help me alot. Somethings are definitely worth paying for!

[@juelzsolo6348]

I purchased something from you already because the detail for this car is different and you explained alot and im still trying to understand how to do the wiring but you are the king 👑 of audio for the acura tl 3rd gen model defiantly appreciate all the work on your pre- wiring plug n play creations n your packages but unfortunately i still need help on My acura to really analyze all my wirring options ??..

[@laurantsmccloskey5927]

Thanks for the video bro! I just grabbed an 06 that the timing belt snapped & bent a valve for 1200, threw a couple valves in & I'm gonna put his old pioneer Android auto head unit into it this week. Un millón de gracias!

[@whitneystone5725]

Okay my TL oh my God I have too many questions I'm going to definitely email this man

[@JuanHernandez-pz2mx]

Center console disassembly: Great time to detail all that plastic and remove all the fast food residue!

[@jasonhale82]

Great Video! Glad you explained it so well.

[@JTibs]

This is such great content, thanks for putting in all the work to make such a great DIY video. I have a question, I got an alpine ilx-w650 on sale, but it doesn’t have any RCA plugs on the back. Is there no way to get this head unit to work? Would you recommend I return it?

[@mariaconcepcion-r5s]

MORNING THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS, WAT YOU HAVE FOR ACURA RL 05

[@carlosvelez2351]

What was the first blue plug you unplugged for ?

[@romelcarmichael2660]

I’m deciding to go with this kit you have but what if I decide to get a system installed later how would I be able to hook my RCjacks up that runs to the amp from the back of the radio

[@gamescube]

These videos are informative thanks. Let's say I want to run an loc4 channle to my 4channle amp with my stock radio. Would be great if you make a video about it/ add an loc with out radio upgrade

[@gamescube]

Also install loc4 channle to bypass stock amp

[@piscestvsongngutv4177]

what about a ACURA 2005 RL SH AWD car which stereo system can we replace

[@aguilars00011]

Have you ever had the outside temp not work any more after installing radio on 08 tl notice it doesn't read temp anymore just stays at 90 ° already replaced sensor twice ?

[@No_Transitory]

Does the faceplate work properly on the head units you offer on your website? While I do like the Kenwood I was hoping to go with the Pioneer touchscreen head unit. But I definitely don't want to have gaps where the faceplate goes over the headunit. Have you had any customer complaints about this by chance? Also is it possible to add a second amp (I plan on upgrading the stock amp with the 5 channel PNP amp.) While I do plan on adding the 8in free air sub I also want 2x 12's for the trunk.

[@ivanvelez7668]

can you upgrade radio on a 2007 Acura RDX Sport utility?

[@cesarperez1412]

Can we get all this whith steering wheel controls and harness all wired up ready to go plug and play

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Yes check out our website

[@driptohard488]

Do you just wire tap the 68 ohm resistor for the Navigation or do you cut the blue and pink wire?

[@SuperDONOVAN420]

I need the hook up on a 06 MDX with Navi and Bose system please. I also have steering wheel controls.

[@outurfeelings1508]

How much for that wiring kit y’all make to help us not go thru that trouble ?? I have a 04 tl

[@rudeboyz456]

Wat if u not running factory amp putting separate amps for subs and car speakers wich ones would u recommend

[@jusssohgeezy9154]

Is the black module only if u want steering controls ?

[@calebkong2668]

I’m trying to help my cousin install an aftermarket dual brand radio and I got it to power on but there is no sound when we try to play music. Everything works just no audio

[@kryptologicalz8436]

I’m looking at an alpine ILX-407 but it has a built in internal amp 16W RMS 4 channel/50 watt peak, will that mess with the amp already in the tl?

[@alvina9770]

Could you give more information about the radio?

[@w9gb]

Who was OEM for Acura Entertainment? ALPINE?

[@JoshuaGeee-d5j]

How do I order these parts to install my radio??? Thank you

[@SnubBarracuda]

Just got my full install kit for a 2005 nav TL yesterday and the install went great. Great kit, super clean and easy to do. The only problem I had was the center speaker had some noise. I unplugged it and the noise stopped but it does worry me a little. Is that normal or do I need to pull it back apart and check stuff? I have subs and an amp in the trunk, so I planned to just leave the factory sub unplugged and don't mind doing the same with the center, just so I can revert the car to factory if I ever want to later. That should be okay right? What causes the center channel noise though? It sounds kind of like alternator whine but it's only the center speaker.

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

yes you did the right thing its just noise being amplified because that channel has no audio source so the right thing is to just disconnect it.

[@SnubBarracuda]

@@AcuraAudioGarage thanks!

[@gtdcov]

Can you change just the screen and keep stock radio?

[@tomaszkulas502]

I'm looking to purchase a touch screen radio for my 08 TL. On some radios it say will work with aswc-1 and some say axwc controller, what is the difference before I buy everything I need from you.

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

they are the same part. Metra just changed the part number

[@tomaszkulas502]

Sorry to bother, but I've noticed in the notes that the center speaker will not work after install with the wire harness, is there another way to wire the center speaker to the radio?

[@BFMV2xETFx7BMTH]

I actually just bought the full kit. Is it all plug and play or do I have to do some wiring still?

[@alexprzygodzki5422]

Do you have more information on the 68ohm video Mabe Color codes if possible? Please help

[@yvnghvnter1139]

So my 2004 Acura TL has the navigation but it just says please check disc, I can’t even turn on the radio or change my clock, if I just put an after market radio and put a sub in the trunk do I even need the navigation system ?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

if you don't care about it then you can remove it but if it doesn't work changing the radio won't make it work again.

[@yvnghvnter1139]

@@AcuraAudioGarage yea I can’t hear anything from my factory radio and my nav isn’t working, I might have to try and clean the disc but I’m not sure if the disc is even in the drive but if my radio isn’t plowing on right now will it even work if I put a new radio and subwoofer in ?

[@SnubBarracuda]

@@yvnghvnter1139 You are going to have to figure out what's not working in you car first. It's probably the nav dvd player in the trunk. Pretty common failure. It may also just need the lens cleaned. I've had 3 of them break, 2 lasted an extra year or so by running a lens cleaner once in a while. But if your factory amp isn't working anymore then this install will also require a factory amp bypass kit or a bunch of rewiring in your car. The bypass kit from them is like $60 and is super easy also. Handy to have one because these factory amps die very often also. I'm on my 4th factory amp, lol.

[@chuckstrong]

Weird question. On my 2006 Acura TL, I have a very tiny antenna male connector on the car, which does not connect to a after market radio. I have looked everywhere for an adapter, but I am finding everywhere says I don't need one. Help.

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

can you email us at [e-mail] so we can see the plug you are referring to.

[@StephLMJ]

Quick question if I also buy back up cam you guys will wire that also ?

[@theprogwalrus7564]

Thanks for all the info man, I just have one question. I already installed my aftermarket radio with the plug n play harness but I'm currently trying to update the navigation year and I have two discs. How can I do that without the oem radio?

[@jalbertosepulveda7330]

will it work for single din too ?

[@adamdruckenmiller4510]

I order the wiring kit every thing works no sound. The kit cost 165 06 tl double din pioneer with 4 RCA in the back no spot for the sub. What do it do?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Hey if you need support please reach out via email or phone at 6315380068. It sounds like you will need an RCA y splitter. We mention in all our advertising that you will need a radio with at least 5 rca ports.

[@teudycustoms2075]

How do I add car play to my navigation system or replace it with something that does on my 05 tl

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

you could install a double din, if you don't want that you could use the tesla screen. Also there is a video/carplay solution that will plug into the factory screen you can find some videos of it online.

Are you able to use the factory XM radio antenna in a 2006 Acura TL? I just bought the sirius xm radio adapter for the AVH 2550nex and didn't want to run another antenna if I don't have to. Is there an adapter I could use?

[@garygutierrez7881]

I am installing the same radio but in my 08 base, but the harness from the radio seems like it does not have a connection to the amp. Did you use the solid blue wire he hooked to the amp?

What is that Kenwood radio that fits correctly? Model

[@JB-qc4ju]

Hey man. I just bought an 04 Acura TL that has an aftermarket radio but no aftermarket subs or amp. I was wondering how I would connect the factory subs for now? I plan on changing it out later on with an Apple CarPlay w/ Backup Camera radio later on and adding 2 10s in the trunk.

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

it depends how it was installed but this video shows you where the subwoofer hookup is just watch the first 5 minutes.

microphone up in the left corner of the windshield. you can remove the weather stripping on the door to make it easier to snake the wire. As for the USB cable we normally either drill a whole in the fist pocket or run it all the way to inside the center console.

What if your radio doesn’t have the RCA ports?? The factory radio doesn’t have RCA ports either.

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

If your radio doesn't have RCA ports you are going to need a LOC. The factory system is designed to send a low level signal to the factory amplifier via speaker wire with specific lines for shields.

I'm struggling to find a way to go aftermarket without having that screen blank and stupid looking.

What if I have an aftermarket steering wheel

[@sterlingjones6674]

question. Just put in a new single din head unit and subs into my 2008 Acura tl. I got the everything wired up, both harnesses for the nav is all powered up. but while i was in this process i noticed that my power windows for the passenger, and 2 rear windows went out, along with the temperature button lights on both sides of the nav. I was wondering if that had anything to do with the installment or specifically that last white pin box that was left as something we "didn't need" before i take a look at the fuse box and start troubleshooting.

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Start with checking the fuses. The white plug you are referring too is for the factory XM connection. It wouldn't be the cause of the issue. Also those are different electrical circuits.

[@whitneystone5725]

By the way well I'll email you but what would this per se cost I've called two folks and also a very respected person I know and it's about the same as what they're telling me but and I of course I haven't looked around yet but I want to know exactly what all this should cost I guess I'll look in the district description

[@urdaddy9377]

I wish they would sell a radio for my Acura I don’t like the screen mine has it looks old but everything I seen it’s over 500 for it

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

you could do the tablet mod. We have a radio kit that is $300 PNP. You could also get a double din and then do the climate control conversion so you get rid of the nav screen but then you will lose the sub display. You have options, the tesla screen is the most straightforward but it is expensive.
