Good night, I would like to know where you got the adaptation so you could upgrade that stereo I would greatly appreciate it if you give me information to buy it

@uploader95 says:

So this won’t work with the factory touchscreen for the 08 TL? Because the factory screen is touch enabled.
Must use the controller?

@enevarez1471 says:

You get to keep the original radio and function and that’s what I love. Great video! I wish I knew someone that could help me here in Arizona. Keep being great!!

@Dillon1791 says:

I wish it was touch screen operable

@Crx018 says:

Imma just save up a bit longer for the Tesla screen, to many boutons and connecting to do imo

@thepathllc2220 says:

Bro how can you use it with the touchscreen?

@AKYGaming says:

Make it for tsx 2004-2008

@iiTzGyln says:

Question I have and Acura tl 07 looks identical to yours but my screen or clock doesn’t work it’s just all black it turns on sometimes if I bought this would it still not work or would I need a whole new unit

@luisrosa8015 says:

WHATS THE WEBSITE I WANNA PURCHASE THIS

@MrSamPhoenix says:

Amazing setup, how do you like it so far? & does the backup camera work when you put the car into reverse?

@willlauture3401 says:

Glad to see it was a success man it looks great. About 20-30 seconds into the vid you mentioned a new touch screen you could throw behind the original to use. Would you purchase that from the same site? Where could I find it?

@alexflowers3455 says:

Best solution I’ve seen yet! You said there’s a way to retain the touch screen or wire it to oem buttons? How would I do that? Any videos?

@johansonrogue605 says:

AVOID THIS COMPANY. Absolutely beware of this company and DO NOT BUY. they are a complete scam. The chances of you getting a defective product is extremely high. They claim a lifetime warranty and easy returns. This is not true. You will get an item that isn’t what was advertised. With a completely different UI and missing features, constant bug issues that they will do nothing to resolve from the very first day. These are not made in America and it’s disgusting they use that as a marketing tool. Their customer service will run you in circles and you will receive no help and be left with a joke of a product. (Plastic with a “made in America” sticker) they do not care about you or America. They are here simply to exploit

@qulow5236 says:

What radar do you have? & does it work well for ya?

@vinomartin6023 says:

Hey man wondering do you know if the setup would be the same for a 2006 Acura TL, same navigation setup though. thanks for a response.

@nico4k says:

Hey man! great stuff! Since it's been a year or so since the install, can you do another video showing any issues, quarks, things you don't like, long term review, etc.? Assuming you still have the Acura TL. I'm considering of going the NavTool route.
I made a mistake in buying AVElectronics implementation of Apple Carplay/Android auto. If freezes all the time and the screen looks shifted to the right in the Navi due to their bad implementation of the Interface. I don't want to make another $600 mistake. 🙂

I hope to hear from you soon! 🙂 Thank you for sharing this video!

@MEQUPWER says:

how to watch dvd's or blue rays on 08 tl navigation???

@ginodico says:

Love to see Life is Good!!! Great song choice my guy

@ua6jj328 says:

Pretty cool not gunna lie I got the android double din but this looks way cleaner .. I'd try this but sadly my navigation system dont work I got the insert disc the just pops up even though I have a brand new disc in it

@NewKingBrandon says:

Hey, I'm curious if you think this is a more worthwhile solution than adding a bluetooth receiver and a dashboard phone mount. Any advantages of going this route besides larger screen?

@wheelsyproductions says:

Hey man, is there any way to do this but connect the phone via Bluetooth instead of lightning cable?

@ibrahimolanrewaju4719 says:

Thanks for the video, i have acura tl 2008 and the stereo is bad, please where can I get the gadget

@danrook5757 says:

I think I’ll just leave it status quo, nice job though

@janelledaniels2289 says:

i have a 2010 odyssey, we have the same screen, same wiring unit sent from navtool. how did you connect your remote wire in? i cannot get mine to turn on. i currently have the remote blaster plugged into the green 4 pin.

@abdelrahmanali1131 says:

For some reason the quality of my screen becomes really bad when I turn on the unit do u have any idea to what it’s causing that and for the Auxiliary cable where did you connect that?

@jay.falayoo8554 says:

Looking to sell this car anytime soon?

@latertime119 says:
