For those of you in the NY/NJ area, or even if you're not in the area, Ron from streeteffectz got hold of an impossible to find AVC-RGB1 decoder needed for a Navi to Video conversion. The criteria of course is that he'd do the install for you.
..........that if I do end up buying the 2003 MDX, I'll probably drive to NY/NJ area (combine it with a 7-day trip/vacation - I do love to drive ) and have them do a similar job putting in a DVD player/TV and while I'm at it might even have them change the speakers and put in an amp for cleaner sound (I'm not too impressed with the way the existing Bose system sounds - I don't know if it's my imagination, but the sound from the Bose system in my 2000 3.2TL seemed cleaner (crisper highs and more accurate/tighter - less boomy - bass)
When it comes to aftermarket installs I get EXTREMELY PARANOID if they've got to take anything apart and would be very very ticked off if they messed up something in the dash etc......that's why when I see something done neatly I don't mind going to extreme lengths to make sure my vehicle does not get screwed up in the process.
I might also be inclined to do the body color spoiler and mud guards.....looks really neat and elegant (where did you get that done?)
Thanks, Vic
Ron is really good. I think you won't regret it if he does the work for you. One downside of this install, is I'll expect to have DVD/PS2/backup camera in all my future cars. Kind of like the navigation. Can't ever go back.
Well, the rear deflector is from Tim at hondacuraworld.com where everybody gets all the accessories on this forum. It was something like $297 (free shipping) plus $125 for the paint job. VERY well done. For the mudflaps, I just got the factory ones, and then had a local body shop paint it for $10 each. It's held up pretty well thus far.
Glad to see you slowly making your move over to this side

The manual leaves out important steps fpr programming the SUV's Homelink system for those of us that have "Rolling Code Systems"- any newer garage door opener. I was on the phone with Wayne from Homelink for an hour to get my system up and running for my 2 Acura vehicles. I realize...
The original Bose speakers in my 03 Touring are about shot. I have a pair of Infinity Ref 6522ex set to install. In looking over some installations posted here, it seems that people simply drill new holes into the plastic door panel to switch from the three-screw Bose to a four-screw...

Hi! I’m a new member, I have the 2007 mdx and there’s an aux option but no port. I’ve looked into it and heard it was a recall or something. I’m looking for options as to what to do so I can have Bluetooth or aux. I’ve tried the Bluetooth adaptor for the cigarette outlet but it didn’t work. Any...
