[@JC_Rosario]

What are the measurements of the head unit?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

this was a customer supplied radio so we don't have all the information. But I think it was this radio www.amazon.com/ATOTO-Android-Navigation-Stereo-2xBluetooth/dp/B076D5TVVX/ref=sr_1_3?

[@rlfdavin]

what other headunits do you reccomend besides the amazon ones to put android radio into a 2010 tsx with navigation? i know in video said a couple but do you have model numbers of a couple you would install? something with same size screen and features etc but a better brand.

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

I have a special edition tsx and having issues with a Amazon android I have no connection for sub and attana different aswell

[@AEDetailing-nu1el]

I cant be the only one with a tech package dying to know HOW to install an aftermarket. They say its not possible, anything is possible. PLease share your ideas on how to install. DOnt care about NAV system its old asf anyways

[@4bdn_]

Yes! Same here, been looking into it for months now. Only other option is to sell the car and buy a non tech tsx 😢

[@ryanb8399]

It's the a.c screen u lose in the nav

[@zavierventura5435]

You helped me so much when I had to order stuff for my 07 TL. Finally got my hands on a tsx wagon with Navi so I’m looking forward to the Navi ELS solution .

[@maxwellpatrick3019]

I’m in the same boat. Have you found any solutions yet? Are your speakers still holding up?

[@markm9360]

Definitely will be looking for the ELS/Navi upgrade video. That head unit has the AC info on the tuner dial, and want to retain that. Thanls in advance!

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Mark can you send us a video of how the AC info is shown. We have come up with a solution to retain the factory amplifier but for the factory navigation and controls you would need to modify the dash kit and mount the knob while also leaving part of the navigation plugged in and tucked behind the dash. So this is less then ideal but without a TSX to test with we are stuck right now.

Is there a video where you have the navigation one and to get that replaced to this ?

[@rambochinogon]

I have a 2010 tsx with navigation system ..do u have tye video on how to install ??looking to upgrade my stero

[@rockerojr]

I know this video is a year old, but do you have the video of an install with a Nav/tech package? Looking to do my 2012 tsx

[@dannyramos960]

So I have a 2010 Acura TSX with the tech package, would there be any issues I would run into with the default navigation system if I tried to follow this video for example or buy one of the complete packages you offer?

[@AEDetailing-nu1el]

Same

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Yes you would end up with low audio and a non working navigation. The backup camera will still work but you wouldn't be able to access climate control information. As for the audio you could then bypass the factory amplifier and get the right amount of volume back but you would lose some speakers.

[@tlaren4]

So I have the nave version I switched the nav display to the basic one but the wire harness for the base the aux power does not work. I don’t know if it’s my car or not but the concistant power works I know there is nothing wrong with the deck because if I twist them both together it powers up fine but obviously I can not leave it like that

[@emrebayram9250]

Hello, only 2 audio outputs go into the original amplifier of the vehicle. I cannot get a good sound from the subwoofer. I only get a good sound from the front speakers.

[@edwinguevara4087]

Love the way the stereo sits in the middle. I have a question, can you still input the radio code on the touch screen?

[@alyxms5826]

That’s what I’m trying to figure out

[@jayyjayy515]

When you say run low level signal, how would you adjust those signals? Is it just simply tuning the eq frequencies down?

[@thegrizz9313]

Does the factory mic work too? I see a lot of stereos that come with an additional mic

[@zephyrzen1]

Great video. Very detailed explanation. Thanks. What if I want to use my existing screen. Is there a different route I can take. I have a TSX 2011. I want to be able to use my navigation on my phone to show on the car screen. I don't have live GPS on the Acura.

Hi i used the harness from you guys and it worked! But for some reason the pair function keeps appearing and I have to keep hitting cancel. Is there a way to disable that?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

yes disconnect the HFL module behind the glovebox. Its the factory bluetooth controller.

[@lmaowat3405]

@AcuraAudioGarage thank you very much!

[@alexdelatorreh]

so if you put a brand radio you dont neat to junp wires of the kit ? and to not frie your amp use rca direc to the radio outs?

[@glotec]

Hey I have a 2009 Acura tl with the tech package, for now I just want to upgrade the speakers and keep the factory head unit and might change out the amp in the future, is there anything I should know before doing this, also I really want to change out the center and rear door tweeters do you have a set for that ? Thanks !

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Yes you can find all the speakers on our website. As far as things you should know I would say be prepared for the rear deck speakers and subwoofer to be a pain. The 3.5 in the rear doors aren't that important but you can upgrade them. The front doors are easy but the tweeters are also annoying because of where they are.

[@dpz1985dp]

Any recommendations on speaker upgrades while still using the stock radio on 2012 TAX S.E?

[@st103650]

Hello, I am using the same vehicle, the model with factory amplifier. I installed Android multimedia. It is a plug-and-play socket. However, the sound quality is not as good as the car's own premium sound multimedia system, in fact it is quite bad. I would be grateful if you share your wiring diagram.

does the steering wheel cover stay on or does it slip around?

[@asifkazani523]

Hi! This is definitely great help. Extremely detailed. Could you kindly confirm if the phone buttons on the steering wheel work with this or any aftermarket installation?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

The call hang-up and pickup buttons don't work unless you run additional wires to to the HFL in the car or solder some wires at the steering wheel cover.

Please consider another or posting details how to interface smartphones to same tsx wagons with tech package keeping the same oem audio. I'm also considering adding better sub in my 2013 found with 26,000ml 🤙

[@artlopez2698]

I have a tsx wagon with nav and ELS system I changed out my speakers to some Rockford 4ohm 45watt rms and now my sub and rear channel speakers turn off randomly and won’t turn on until reset any suggestions???

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

the ELS system has 2 ohm speakers so when you swapped with 4 ohms it put a different load on the amplifier. Also when you installed them can you verify the terminals aren't touching the metal of the door?

[@ManuelVazquez-jr8qc]

good job! I have a car, I don't have the time to do it where you are located.

[@MrJoefoefrombuffalo]

I Enjoy your videos, thank you. I have a 2013 tsx wagon with navigation. I want to upgrade the bass. Have any words of wisdom? I'm thinking if I can find one that fits and works well a self-powered box that can be put in the storage compartment underneath the hatchback floor. Use the OEM subwoofer connections for bass an run power to box. Have concerns though that won't have air movement allow bass out unless vented in some way. Or remove the OEM subwoofer.. pay someone to make a custom box bigger better sub with a amp I have somewhat of a OEM look, stealth not take much cargo room up. Or if have experience adding a amp to OEM subwoofer over power or replace OEM subwoofer same size in OEM box, replace OEM Sub amp if makes sense, good bass doing it

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

yes you can probably get away with using the factory enclosure just seal it really well with silicone or glue and then add another amplifier. The signal wires are right at the white plug that plugs into the enclosure. We actually have that white plug, its the same as the honda accord crossover plug.

[@MrJoefoefrombuffalo]

@@AcuraAudioGarage interesting I've never thought about using the factory enclosure Sealing it and adding an amplifier externally. Lol Wonder if anybody else has tried it to see what can be gained

[@bobfromtexas3819]

@AAG - my bad, I asked you about a 4th gen upgrade and in your library, there it was. Ques - what Pioneer DDin will fit in the new dash bezel you are using or if I use the Mehtra - 99-7808B? Seems the bezel opening will not handle anything bigger than a 5 or 6 inch display. I like that you mentioned some aftermarket devices are not the best choice. Keep postin', love the help and channel.

Hey mate, I am from Australia and have an 2012 accord euro which I believe is an Acura TSX there in the US.

Thanks, just want to know what my options are before I purchase a harness from you, considering you ship to Australia. Thank you.

Hey, so how are the line output converters connected to retain speaker audio

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

so if you have this exact radio and converters you connect white to white, grey to grey and so on. If you have different converters then find out which is FL and match that to the white pair and the FR to the grey pair. For the rears green is left and purple is right.

My vehicle is a 2009 Honda Accord Executive. There is a premium sound system in my vehicle, but the sound quality is very low with the double din android multimedia installed, I only get good sound from the front speakers, the rear subwoofer and I can't get a good sound from other speakers.

Hey man I installed some Infiniti Reference #9632xi 6x9s in the back of my 07 TSX and they worked perfectly up until yesterday. They crackle and pop with just a little bit of bass now and I have no clue what happened. Maybe the factory amp failed , loose wire maybe ? Any insight would really help man ! If its the amp I want to upgrade like the one you showed on the short. Thanks brotha !

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

So this doesn't seem like a loose wire type of issue. It could be either the amp is sending them a bad signal because it is failing. It could also be that the speakers are starting to fail and they couldn't handle all the bass. It's tough to know without some diagnostics. Also if you were playing with the engine off it could just be the amp didn't have enough juice to put out the proper signal.

I plugged in the sub adapter harness that came in from metra but it only has one white rca meanwhile the alpine unit comes with 2 white rca for sub. Can that be the reason of it not turning on?

The subwoofer was working before? It could be the output from the Alpine is really low try putting up the sub level in the settings. Just using 1 rca won't be an issue.
