So I see a lot of people asking me for the link for the radio but I am not sharing it. I personally had a bad experience wit the seller and do not wish to give them anymore business. If you guys want to get something similar for your cars go on eBay, search up your specific car and Carplay together. If you have the tech pack make sure to get the "high model" with some sellers.

[@nestorhoyos7721]

I completely understand why you don't want to give the seller anymore business but do you know any other seller's you were looking into? Been searching for year's for an upgrade and wasted money and time on fake products. This is big for the cu2 tech owners, just wondering. Thanks for the time 💪🏽

[@wusty23jd]

@@nestorhoyos7721 My guess is the company was Navitech.

[@vinceandkayleena1202]

Holy f*** bro this video is gold for all of us tech package owners, I was getting ready to do a full tear down and install and splice/amp bypass just to get CarPlay and a modern screen but this is definitely easier and all I need. 🙌🏼 thanks for the video, from me and the rest of the tech package owners

[@calebgardner3000]

Amen

FINALLY a tech package video

[@langthangtv5644]

Bro made it looks so easy.

[@mercedesrandolph1872]

Please do an updated video of pro’s and con’s. What features were lost etc. Also, PLEASE GIVE US THE LINK TO THE RADIO…we want

[@JawkneeTango]

Thank you for this! Just what I needed

[@chillitsjohn]

No problem! Hope you got yours working.

[@JawkneeTango]

@@chillitsjohn Yep, managed to get it mostly working. Still working out how to remove some of the Chinese apps, but Android auto works fine. Where you mentioned needing to also get an additional AUX > left and right cable was really handy. My seller didn't mention I needed it either. I would have just given up if it weren't for your video, so thank you again!

[@chillitsjohn]

Im glad you got it to work!! I lost all hope when my seller didn’t mention it either. I got lucky that i had a cable laying around and tested it and now we are here.

[@StaxxWdp]

it’s so funny how my car plays that same exact bachata every time the bluetooth connects 🤣

[@DiamanteGG]

Can you please do an updated video of pro’s and con’s? Or can you tell us what features were lost? Can you still use the Enter/select main knob? Can you still use the external usb for playing music? Thank you!!!

[@prodfauxes]

This is huge lmao I thought I was gonna have to get one of those stupid external ones now I can just do this

[@hajibangura4077]

can you please show the whole process of adding the camera whenever you do decide to do that?

[@MrIronman616]

Solid video! Can you run videos on that screen? Mirroring from your device?

[@user-el4bv6hb9b]

Hi, I would be happy to receive a link to buy the system. The question is if now the car's system is not working properly, do you think it will connect? Because now it's the normal system, I try to press buttons and it doesn't always work as it should.

[@alejandrocampusano9316]

i wanted to ask you bro, i have a backup camera already equipped on my tsx, should those wires be there already and ready to plug in play into the harness ?

[@carlojavier7170]

Any link to where I can also get this head unit? Thanks!

[@alanvallejo5694]

I want to do this on my 2010 acura tsx but the interior screen is smaller than yours will it matter or i can still do this on my car

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

Hey so do you lose the factory navigation and the factory backup camera? Also it looks like the little sub display doesn't work anymore? Does this mean you can't see the current temp or climate control information or does it show on the new screen. I see the RCA connections so its using the aux input of the factory radio to stream audio.

[@chillitsjohn]

So the way i did it i have an aftermarket backup camera. You do lose the navi screen completely but you can use the factory backup camera with extra wiring. The sub display only shows the climate controls and not your radio station. For the time it would be on the new screen. It does use the aux input of the stock radio.

[@AcuraAudioGarage]

@@chillitsjohn awesome man thank you for the information and for making this video it will help others a lot. I will reach back out in 2-3 months see how the unit is doing.

[@monishnagisetty7553]

Hello brother, Nice work. Can you confirm the year of your Acura? Also, is this Acura TSX with the Tech Package or Base model? Thr Tech Package has the Amp above the wheel well which makes it a lot more complicated. Can you weigh in?

[@chillitsjohn]

So i have a 2010 tech package and it still works perfectly fine. Technically speaking all you’re doing is running the audio through aux. If you wanted control of how everything sounds with this specific radio you would need to do a full music setup.

[@MrCRAIGB1000]

Please post the radio model. Possibly post a link

[@TheUncleGoat]

That thing is comically huge, I didn't want to see through the window anyway 🤣

[@fly-zq9qn]

Can you do a full review like full functions ans pros ans cons ?

[@TheJellyGunner]

can you see the temperature in the original screen still??

[@ramilcaste9072]

Se ve bien! Tienes el link?

[@jaskaranluthra2527]

Hey mate, thanks for the awesome video tutorial! I use different car play and swapped out my media player, but now the sound quality is pretty bad. I saw in your video that you changed the display and used CarPlay with the aux feature. Could you please share your experience regarding the sound quality? Does it remain comparable to the original system? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

[@willylucaci9260]

Hi, I have the same question, please give us a feedback

[@Clmitchell0803]

Wat is the name if the radio you installed. I would like to get it for my husband

[@jose151348]

What about the backup camera does it still work?

[@olintiongson8399]

Does anyone have the link to that aftermarket head unit?

[@CantBeStoppedCC]

Where'd you buy it from bro? drop the link

[@soyyo22]

What about the backup camera?

[@1stedition370]

I need your help I just bought a 2013 tax wagon I need a CarPlay screen with all cameras to it. Help!!!

[@11SeriesBass]

What radio did you get ?

[@yourboierik]

do the climate controls show on the screen still?

[@frandyabreu267]

Dónde conseguiste la pantalla me gustaría ponerle una a mi Acura ?

[@Jay-jz7tz]

yoo fire vid will this radio work for 2012 base with no navigation?

[@chillitsjohn]

Thanks for the support!! There should be one made for the base model. When you search it up on ebay make sure to not get the ones that say high model cause those are for the tech pack.

[@user-om7ci6pe2q]

Hi. I just installed a android 12 car player and I can’t find the factory settings, Android settings, car settings or system settings on unit. I’ve search through all the features…am I missing something? Do I need a special password to access these features? My reverse camera isn’t working. Can you help me?

[@MrCRAIGB1000]

Please post the radio model and a purchase link

[@Jroberts273]

Right?!? What an ass for not doing that.

[@JasminFortunato]

You won’t race me on the Jackie though 👀👀👀

[@alexpineda2928]

Thanks for the walk through. I have no audio after installing everything together. I brought the auxiliary cable but still doesn’t work.

[@alexpineda2928]

Also switch the aux cable around like you did but no luck. Also power off and on the radio button and the aux button still nothing.

[@chillitsjohn]

Did you type in the code for your radio?

[@alexpineda2928]

@@chillitsjohnya I put the radio code in . I can hear the radio station change but the nothing from the car play.

[@LetoRcs]

Only issue is you lose the nav the car comes with. I love using that if my phone dies.. Good in a pinch

[@monishnagisetty7553]

If your system reboots, how will you enter the nav code or radio code without the factory screen?

[@chillitsjohn]

Type in the radio code and you’re good to go. It’s happened to me plenty of times

[@benkent9475]

Hey where do I buy the seperate aux adapter you mentioned at least? Thanks. 🤞🏻

[@benkent9475]

Subbed 👍🏻

[@chillitsjohn]

You can get it on Amazon for really cheap. Just search up 3.5mm to 2-Male RCA Adapter.

[@benkent9475]

@@chillitsjohn thanks brother awesome video you should make a post on acurazine or tsxclub because all the information out there right now for tech package cars is pretty much nothing or that it wont work with hvac

[@chillitsjohn]

I will soon 💪🏼

[@AEDetailing-nu1el]

Does the factory radio have to work for this set up to work? My factory radio doesn’t come on. Climate controls still work tho.

[@chillitsjohn]

The factory radio does have to work because it uses the aux output of the radio.

[@AEDetailing-nu1el]

For Some odd reason , my wiring is good (, I’ve tested the power and ground wires, ) but the actual radio doesn’t come on. Any ideas? I swapped the factory head unit for another factory and still doesn’t come on but when I used the. Power and ground wiring to a aftermarket head unit it powered it.

[@chillitsjohn]

Did you enter the code? These stock radios have codes that if not entered they will be rendered useless.

[@tonyd7644]

Is this car the Technology package?

[@chillitsjohn]

Yes it is

[@JoseGarcia-vo6zc]

Can it be installed in a non navi

[@chillitsjohn]

Pretty sure it can be

[@MajorNelson321]

Anything to watch Netflix 😂

[@luisitotorres8769]

[@maloney1223]

What was your factory code for the screen? The seller tried to scam me and not tell me the code. Please help!
