UPDATE! 3G Acura TL Wire Harness Kits Available! Print E-mail

It has certainly been awhile since I last posted something to the website.

For all of you 3G Acura TL owners (2004-2008), I now have a complete wire harness kit available. The kit includes a complete quality wire harness with original OEM connectors and fully supports the voice command system. In addition, you'll receive an easy installation instruction guide that will explain how to complete the install. The price is $500 (including shipping). If you are interested, my send me an email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it I expect to have this item for sale in the store by the end of the month.

Audio System with Navi Connector View

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You may have already noticed that a few items in the store have the option to add a "pigtail precrimp" to them for an extra $5. It isn't easy to make a perfect crimp with the pins if you don't have the right crimping tool, so I have been working toward having all connectors available in both varieties. Please note that I will be unavailable for the next week, so connectors will not ship out until April 3rd.

On a final note, I believe I may have figured out a way to copy the media provided by Honda/Acura for the navigation system. I know many of us are getting impatient waiting for updated maps, new POI's, and various other features that were forgotten. Hopefully, there is a way to finally integrate the ipod correctly with onscreen album art, or at least track info!

 
Hacking the Accord Navi Software Print E-mail

Accord Navigation Head Unit

I recall stumbling upon a website a couple years ago where a guy that calls himself "bysin" figured out a way to bypass the software of the Accord navigation software to allow a hacker to change the background image. Since the Honda Accord's navigation system and most every Honda & Acura navigation system use the Hitachi SuperH4 CPU, Bysin was able to transition his hacking knowledge of the Sega Dreamcast (which also happens to use the infamous SH-4 processor). This "hack" also works for the majority of all navigation systems for Honda and Acura, but I must warn you will be violating Honda's implied user agreement for their navigation system.

Honda Accord Radio Code Retrieval Procedure Print E-mail
There are two methods of serial number retrieval for "electronic retrieval" radios. Which you use depends on whether or not you have the Navigation system.

Mitsubishi Part Inside Navi DVD ECU Print E-mail

Mitsubishi Found in Honda Navi

I thought I'd throw this up to stir things up a little. I disassembled the navigation DVD ECU (normally mounted in navi-equipped Honda Accords) and was quite surprised what I found.
