This has seriously been my most anticipated TH-cam video for the past few months
Sweet, been waiting 5 months for this in depth review!
John Doe, do you mind helping me figure out what all I need for the install?
I jus installed mine and had no issues beside the trim snapping in place I highly recommend this radio 👌
same the top right side of the trim on mines is a little off but im trying to find something to snap it on fully
@@BOSSTKING I think u jus gota get a dremal trim a couple of the tabs off bout to try it this weekend ill try remember to post something lol
We’re did you get this ??
Ok so I figured out u can snap the silver trim to the radio first then jus kinda pop radio in but u do hav to break off one clip on the silver trim kinda hard to explain
Ali express jus gota download the App
Such a clean interior. Hard to find a clean 6MT in and out.
cheers brother. i don't even own a TL but I'm watching this because of your clear instruction lol
You made the exact video I was looking for. Thank you, subbed and liked👍🏼
Thanks for the heads up on the new video.
Knobs on radio still the best. Invention ever
My 06 TL has become my winter beater, if it wasn't, I would seriously consider this. Nice install.
It might be the guy that installed it that’s the genius, but no issues with the air nor display of climate. Btw mine came with A10
My son just bought a 2006 Acura TL and he’s looking to upgrade the radio.
How much difficulty did you have installing this and if you had it installed by a secondary market how much did they charge you.
Did you have any issues getting the trim work back in? I’ve seen pictures of some peoples work and the trim does not look like it went back in great.
Thank you.
Did you install it? What did you need if you did and how difficult was it thank you
Thank you for posting...👍
Could you make a video with basic manual instructions/settings etc ?
Do you have the whole kits available. Is it plug and play
How do you have TL dashboard that isn't cracked to high hell?
honestly, it's just a lucky coincidence.
Yeah I baby the hell out of mine hoping that it never cracks lol
I have a 06 TL and my dashboard isn’t cracked either
A sunshade and aerospace 303 protectant, can only delay the inevitable.....
I have an 08 TL Type-S and my dash looks terrible.
Can Best buy install this head unit?
Would you still buy this? Or is there a different head unit to think about?
Nice video! I like how you showed the different launchers. I might have to try that.
Where you located I need my tablet installed
Did u ever install Apple car play ?
Hey I have a 05 6mt but it does not have navigation. I was wondering will this effect climate control? Or install in any way? Thank u!
18:45 - In the Developer Settings on your Android phone, try setting your Bluetooth AVRCP Version down to 1.3 as a test.
In another vehicle, I had all sorts of oddities with display on this and by invoking an older version it seems to work well now in every car I use my phone in! I don't really care about the features that 1.4-1.6 bring so it's non-impactful to me.
thanks for the tip!
Would you be able to tell how to adjust the volume of navigation ? So I have the mirror link from my phone to the stereo. Pandora plays great but navigations voice/directions is pretty low when driving, I adjusted the settings to loud on my iPhone but won’t do anything on the stereo
Hiw about running one of those usb powered dacs to the amp? Possible to help beat the distortion.
I have a 2006 Acura Rl and there is an android radio available for it on ali express I was wondering if you could do a review on that radio especially because they say that the stock screen still works so I would love to see how it works
Fresh cut?
So jealous of your dash.
How do you turn off the active volume control? Any help is appreciated
Bro, my Accord has the same mic and the other is behind the back seat.
Great work! How do I connect the dash clock to the tesla radio.
Only problem I’m having is every time I try to sign into the Google play store. It just fails. It won’t even give me the option to put in the username and password.
I like what you doing with the tl I'd like to buy the same ..can you help me out with what I need ?
Thanks 👍
My clock went blank after installing the Tesla screen in my Acura TL 2006
Price ? Link to Buy pls
Curious. Did you have to install the 4g antenna? My Google maps does not work when i use my cell phones hot spot for dome reason. :(
Hey bro how do I get the harness or make the harness to use the navi clock on my car with the climate control display I have the clock and the pigtail of the harness and my Tesla screen is in the mail
Where can I buy the radio 😭🤙🏼
Ali Express fam just look up the cheapest one but make sure the seller is high rating.
What 8" subwoofer can I replace the Factory subwoofer
my car's heating unit dosent get as hot as it used to. as far as the a/c it still blows cold. Also the speed widget next to the navigation still shows kmh instead of mph. hopefully it can be changed on an update. I also have a full speaker setup (2 12inch kickers + focals 6x9 n 61/2) so i can use the factory 12 band equalizer instead of anotger aftermarket. i do tend to hear this little buzzing noise from the radio on mute but its ok. The cool thing is that i have a ferarri as my home vehicle lol overall this product is great
anything that looks like these and which ones you recommended for a
2010 Acura TL
I am the only one having problems with this radio? My rear deck speakers don't have sound! Can someone help me out figure out what is wrong?
Could you change the background wallpaper?
Where are you Guys located?
Have you tried to connect it to an OBD2 sensor yet. I can't get a Bluetooth connect to work. I got the wifi connect to work but I don't like using it because I am currently using my phone as a hotspot so I need that connect for internet access.
I cant change the time on my clock display because of some acura problem where the navi is stuck on 00:00, would this radio be fix? Will i be able to change the time on my display clock through this navi?
Please post link to radio. Thanks
Can you have a subwoofer not the base one with this screen ?
Just installed this on my 2006 TL. It reboots every time I start the car. Are there settings to change this? Or do some of these not have internal batteries?
With the navigation and climate control
Do you know if i can put android gps like that tesla for Acura TL 2012
How do I update the radio?
can we get a link to it ?
I have an 08 TL can you tell me what I need to buy to update my system
What is the model number of this thing
Hola buenas tardes amigo oye una pregunta cómo puedo encontrar ese estero que le pusiste al Acura TL 2007 en Amazon
Hey brotha how do I take off the Acura tlx in the middle of the screen ?? If you can get back to me ASAP thank you
Where Can I Get The Tesla Style Radio ?
I’m looking for a Tesla style unit for my 2014 Acura TL?
I need to do on my TL 2010
Does your steering wheel buttons work with it
Anything similar that is compatible with the 2003 TL type S?
I have a 2008 acura rl and can't find a good aftermarket head unit ...is it possible that this unit can work on my rl? Or anything similar
We aren't aware of anything similar for the RL.
Hello,
I installed this on my 05 tl and it works great, however recently the AC turned on by itself, set on defroster and now wont turn off. Its been like that for 2 weeks. I've tried reseting it and no luck. Any idea how I can get it to shut off?
hey sorry we don't sell, service, or support this radio. It tends to have weird issues and we can't help resolve them.
Do you have anything like this with wireless android auto?
We don't sell this radio. Kenwood and alpine do make units with wireless android auto but they are traditional double dins. There might be a dongle/adapter for this radio to enable wireless android auto. You can reach out to the seller on AliExpress and find out we will also send them a message and see.
Hey Mobile Max. Since your reviewing this Tesla Screen. Do you know how to change the Screens bottom key buttons from Blue to Red for a Type-S? I know it says non adjustable on the Navitech description. Just wanna know if possible?
It is possible you need to go into the settings its behind the password protected page. Then you have to dig for it but I have seen people do it
@@MobileMaxCarAudio Thanks for getting back to me. I already ordered the unit. But still a month til it arrives. Wish that it was a built in feature. Would make the unit that much better.
@@aztecwarrior9192 just transfer the LED bulbs from the Type-S. I want to not bypass the ELS amplifier so I can keep all speakers running.
What harness do you need for this?? I want to do this same set up
What's the adapter to get the clock to work?
I have a 2008 acura tl base where do I put the GPS in the car so I have navigation?
If you want to convert your non nav to nav, you will need a couple of components. The subdisplay, the dvd rom, the acuralink module and then that harnesses to tie everything together.
Last ditch effort here, I am contemplating buying an aftermarket radio to replace mine because my radio code won't work resetting. I've tried everything from unplugging fuses, disconnecting the battery, and disconnecting the antenna from the back of the radio. I don't get a CODE message to show up, but when I plug in my code, I get 3 short beeps. Any help would be appreciated, but it's looking like a new radio is in my near future...
So we have heard of this happening but have not been able to confirm it the radio has a limit on the number of times the code can be inputted, also after that number is reached/passed it will not take a code anymore. You might have not inputted the code that many times but the radio for some reason thinks you have. I haven't found a fix just replace the radio or the dealer might have specific software they can run. Hopefully someone in the comments knows more
How is this working for you do you still have it installed? I was thinking of getting it just wanted to know how is your experience with the product?
Hey we don't have this radio anymore. We sold it a while back. It's a great show piece and cool technology but just so many little issues (the hiss, the pops, random reboots) just wasn't for us.
@@MobileMaxCarAudioare there any alternatives for an Acura TL that you’d recommend?
Can you install an amp and subs to it?
How would you update it without a sim card if needed? Remove it? Also nice video. Can you run google maps?
connect it to wifi from your phones mobile hotspot or home wifi
You can also download the update to a USB drive. That's what I did.
When you want to update it you have to get the new update on a usb drive and connect it to the usb so it can update the new version on the tablet and also AliExpress is very helpful when you message they respond fast and thoroughly
@@victorsandoval6534 what seller did you get yours from
My climate control info does not show up on my screen
I need one of these who can I talk to
I live in long island too, do you guys sell and install them?..if so how much for the Tesla radio and installation
we do not sell this radio. We recommend you buy it from one of the original sellers like navitech.
How does Netflix and TH-cam content look on it?
it won't go hd but 720p was fine and enjoyable.
@@MobileMaxCarAudio Are you able to hide the bottom interface that duplicates the AC controls?
Whats the website you got the hardware from
Do they have one for 2012 TL?
Will the Bluetooth work if the cars Bluetooth module isn't working?
Yes it has its own built on bluetooth and microphone
Hablas español?
Donde conseguiste el arnés para el control del aire acondicionado y las bases negras de metal para instalarlo
En el Yonke
@@armando_perez sos no se pueden conseguir en el yonke o si??, No es parte original del carro
El arnés es un cable que viene com el carro originalmente y la pantalla pequeña viene de un TL con navegación.
I have an aftermarket sub and amp combo do I need a low in and out converter to make them work with this setup or is there a way to use the amps rca’s and link with the screen rca?
you can use the tables rcas out to your amps, you're just gonna need splitters.
Mobile Max Car Audio where can I find the splitters at? You have a diagram or link?
@@matthallstrom5585 they are just regular rca y splitters. The table feeds its self an rca signal left and right, you need to split that with some rca y splitters and hook up your amp RCAs there.
Mobile Max Car Audio what color rca coming out of the back of the tablet do you y split into
Mobile Max Car Audio do you have a cable for sale at your store I could buy?
I am looking for a teslas style unit 2006 acura MDX.
Unfortunately at this time they don't make one.
Can you do this in a 2014 TL?
What kind of radio is it
This works with Apple?
Bro where is your shop?
Does the reverse camara work??????
factory reverse camera will not work you will have to replace it.
Does it have a backup camera
Great question, you can add a backup camera but the factory backup camera will not work with this radio
does this radio have apple carplay?
Yes
Would this work in my 2005 mdx?
no
What’s the best radio for my TL with Navi ?
Does your factory navigation work? What features do you want your new radio to have?
It does have Navi but what I’m looking for is Navi and Bluetooth
@@MobileMaxCarAudio i would like to upgrade my amp do you have any recommendations? My navigation screen is black and i believe because my dvd rom is missing in the trunk.
I would like to get a new amp because there is a static noise on my radio
@@MobileMaxCarAudio It doesnt have to be the most expensive, but as you mentioned in one of your videos, nowadays you can get radios/amps that are better for less or the same price as stock
Can this be installed in a Acura ILX 2016?
I got mine with the tl showing
How did you change the background?
You had a TL for the car in the main display?
Dose the rear view camera still work with that unit
can you install this for customers ?
yes but we do not sell or endorse this radio
How much for the radio & adapter?
we don't sell this radio.
I subscribed to your channel & watched the unboxing so I know how much it cost now. My HFL transmitter is bad & the part is discontinued for 2006 models. I really can’t afford this radio. I would like Apple Drive but I don’t know if I need a working transmitter. I have The loaded manual transmission package with navigation & the Navigation basically never works. I want to be able to use my screen or replace it. Hopefully you have a suggestion that will be cheaper. Whatever I chose I’m going to have to pay someone else to install. That’s why the radio is a little to much for me.
How can I get the code or password!? To unlock the settings

@@tobyjimenez7257 en nueva york
I dont think they sell this anymore☹
Can it fit in a Honda Accord lx 04.
Would this work for a TSX?
no sorry but they do make a version for the TSX
@@MobileMaxCarAudio how much it cost
I hate this thing. Regret buying it😢
Why? Considering this as a gift for someone with an 05 TL.
@@VaughnGrisham I had issues with it but the company resolved all but one so I'm happy with it now. I recommend buying it
