2004 2006 2007 2008 Acura TL Navigation Screen Upgrade - Android Touchscreen 9” w/ Apple CarPlay

[@MelonTL_YH2]

Thank you for the walk through! This looks more OEM than the tesla screen.

[@arielrodriguez9689]

I’ve been wanting a screen for my gf’s 08 base TL forever and the Tesla screen just wasn’t her taste. Now this might be the best open

[@vernonrodriguez338]

Thank you perfect info about the radio and we all look forward to seeing a full break down on this radio

[@robinpascall400]

Love it; When's the new video going to drop? Thanks for these detailed videos.

[@ChrisFitTaylor]

I really enjoyed watching this video-very informative! I was considering purchasing the Tesla-style screen as the latest Android radio option for my Acura TL, but after watching your video, I have a few questions. Between this head unit and the Tesla screen, which do you recommend and why? Also, I’m currently in Orlando, Florida, and I wanted to know if you offer installation services in the area or have any recommendations for local installers. Thanks again for the great content!

[@charlsaccount1849]

finally was waiting for this

[@rCBishop]

Thank you 🙏🏾 I been waiting for a video like this. I been thinking about the Tesla style radio and I just bought it so I want to know if that radio would be a better option! For my 06 TL.

[@hamdiali653]

What would happen if the battery dies, and it ask for the code for the radio. Will it show on the screen ?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

no it will not, we are in the process of working with the seller for a solution to this

[@bigmangozg2677]

Good point

[@aarongreen7249]

I own one, and can confirm that if the battery dies/ gets unplugged, it will boot up as normal when reconnected, not even asking for the code to input. Might be due to the touchscreen delivering the power🤷🏾‍♂️.

[@ApFilmzs]

@@aarongreen7249what do you think ? Is it worth the price compared to just buying a double din from let’s say Sony

[@Bill_XYZ]

So CD and Tape deck won't work as well? Would be great to see apple car play hooked up on this or how to get it going. Considering this but will wait to see more reviews. Thanks!

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Only on the 07-08 will the factory radio all work.I am pretty sure you can wire the 04-06 a different way but that is not how they did it

[@Bill_XYZ]

@@AcuraAudioGarage thank you for that. I have an 07 Type S. I still love my cds and tapes. This is looking more interesting.

[@hpmetabolics7558]

​@@Bill_XYZsame ride man! Me too...I got hella CDs!!😂😂😂

[@elmercado3162]

So it does still work ? or once you install you lose that

[@JuanHernandez-pz2mx]

I am really bummed that this unit disables the Factory Stereo. I was especially interested in keeping my ELS setup and use of those components. Is there an advantage for using this vs the Full size "tesla" style kit?

[@bigmangozg2677]

Volume knob is why I’m thinking this over the Tesla screen

[@carbongoat]

Just get aux audio input adapter and run aux out of screen to factory radio. It will work just like 07-08

[@ryanbell1275]

Will this be a good fix for the check disc message that pops up on the factory screen?

[@Nocopoutking]

Can I equip that aftermarket nav with a aftermarket radio also? Like boss audio systems radio? Or do I have to have one of the other?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

yes

[@tonykeo253]

Have you double checked to see if your rear defroster still works? After I installed it stopped working. Wanted to see if it’s mine or the canbus is messing it up

[@Navitech_LisaPeng]

The knobs can control the screen?

[@greencivicej1]

Does the cd player still work and cassette player with the new stereo?

[@jpdetailandretrofits4100]

the steering wheel control will work? I have an 04 TL

[@drsides]

Great video! How well do phone calls work? Also, do factory steering wheel phone controls work with this unit?

[@bryanCLXT]

I have a 2007 acura Rdx most of your videos are about the Mdx. can I get a lil info on the wiring. wanting to use a LOC to tap in a speaker and add sub

[@bankervandy20]

Is there an Apple CarPlay option for the gen 1 MDX; 2006? I can’t find one, but wonder if there’s a compatible made for the pilot or odyssey.

[@itzdanerd]

Does the unit have brightness control and a setting to time off the screen when not in use ?

[@afthirty2]

I am in NYC, i’ll guinne pig my type S and bring it over after I order the 360 camera version, that way we can get more information :D

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

We are located in central FL

@@AcuraAudioGarage really, dam that sucks cause i was hoping to come by, i swear i saw you guys on google maps at Bay shore, NY

[@yadieldiaz6395]

Would this work on a TL without navi ?

[@jessebreyer709]

Is it a problem to use the wires powering the rear sub as the signal for my aftermarket subs. Technically it’s amped twice right? Can I get the signal directly from the factory head unit for the trunk subs and install a pnp amp for interior speakers. Pretty much I am not sure where to get a clean signal for both sub amp and speaker amp

[@jessebreyer709]

Do I need to get behind the headunit and tap into the sub wire with a line out before it reaches the amp? Or jump the rca from speaker amp to sub amps?

[@marcusshine9366]

So what if I don’t have a factory radio do have to get one?

[@johnnelwhite]

I have a 08 idea love to do this to eliminate my factory nav screen. Whats your location

[@spontaneousgamer2024]

Question: would this work if you have an aftermarket radio already? I have a pioneer double DIN radio

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

yes it will

[@dylan-oe7bi]

i installed this not too long ago and i was having a weird issue with the volume (it has a slightly loud white noise in the background constantly no matter the volume i’m at) i messed around with it in the settings but nothing solved it for me if you’re experiencing the same thing could you address it in the full review? other than that and the buttons feeling a bit cheap im loving it lol. great video! 👍

[@josecaban1118]

Can this android unit be installed with a aftermarket radio instead of the oem i have the wire harness from u for the after market i also have the harness for after market amps its just that my nav screen is blank because the dvd nav doesnt work wont read the disc so the screen is useless i cant get no info on it just a blank screen and it wont auto shut off either just want to know if i can combine this radio with my jvc

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

yes you can

[@rltap5041]

would i need a aftermarket radio bracket to install the headunit?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

no it mounts to the OEM bracket

[@bigmangozg2677]

Does it work on the 08 base without navigation ? Or is it for the Navigation one only ?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

@@bigmangozg2677 works for both

[@josephchavez4017]

Is there a way to have it work with an aftermarket radio on a 04 non nav adition?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

@@josephchavez4017 yes but will require some custom harnesses

I’m still waiting for the full review. When will that be released??

[@carbongoat]

He told me not till next yr

[@Carloslivexd]

how did you get the code you put when you go into settings?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Just from experience

[@KhronoProd]

Does this have rear camera support?

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Yes you can add a backup camera or retain the factory one with an additional harness.

[@darionnguyen111]

Bro im having issues i have an 07 they gave me both harnesses. When i use the low end harness i get no sound but air controls work when i use high end harnesses i get sound but no ac controls

[@darionnguyen111]

Nevermind i took the ac module off the low end harness connected to high end and all good now

Can you do a video on 07 Base non-nav

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

We will try
