2008 Acura MDX Aftermarket Radio Install

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video we dive into the MDX world. The Acura MDX has an impressive audio system for its day and age but its lack of Bluetooth audio streaming brings many of its owners to replacing the factory radio. If your vehicle does not have navigation the replacement installation is rather easy if your vehicle does have navigation then you are in for a real treat.
As always you can the accessories needed to install an aftermarket radio for your Acura on our store. mobilemaxcaraudio.com/?s=MDX&...

    There’s a place in NJ call Perù Primos. They especially in Acura they install any aftermarket radio with your factory speakers and amp and also make your gps screen working as screen to watch movies or whatever you want to do. I want to do my MDX but is expensive for ME about 700-800 dollars

    I did one a 2008 MDX with NAV as well as a handful without NAV since (lol you wonder why I just swerve them ina sense- even my girlfriends 08 MDX is a NAV model but she knows the days at the shop with MDX's and acura anything for that matter are just painful so she doesnt ask haha) easy but just unneccesarily painful. Any 08~ style MDX with NAV comes in I am automatically telling them yep lets do a nice carplay unit- pioneer kenwood w/e. Easy to slam that in. Now the fun part. Might as well just throw components at it & wire them to a 4 channel like a sundown/skar etc. Grab a monoblock and throw a little sub in the back. If you wana get crazy technical, making oem sub work/retrofitting stuff in there to an external mono is doable but if ya want it done cheap enough and easy on us and sound amazing for you- just give the unit power, ground, and switched 12v. & go wild with aftermarket everything.

    Super helpful video, thanks for sharing! I do have a question if you don't mind answering it. I have this exact model and have been trying to figure out a way to get an aftermarket stereo in it. I understand the issues with the speakers, the nav unit and the factory amp but my question is, if i had a 6-8 channel amp could i just use that and run wire from the amp to all the speakers and then plug the amp into the aftermarket head unit? My other plan for that was to take the clock that is in place of the nav unit in the MDX models that don't have nav and replace the nav screen with that. Might look cleaner than a unused screen. Also, did you just tap the video feed wire from the stock back up camera and run that to an RCA plug or something to make it work with this set up? Thanks again for the video!

  • @MobileMaxCarAudio

    Shane, yes your amp replacement would work. We recommend a 6 channel because you can pair the rear speakers with the satellite speakers. The connections are different between navi models and non navi but I believe that swap is possible. If you get rid of the factory screen you will need to hook up a new backup camera solution. I have a theory of how others have made it work, they leave the factory nav in tact and just modify the dash kit. We just haven't had another MDX to test it on yet.

From what I understand though, they're actually data wires coming out of the HU, and everywhere they're not, the signal has already been crossed over so it limits your speaker options. I've seen people get around it before with Audison gear, and the JL fix86 I know works, but I definitely have yet to see anyone who's managed to get signal out of this ridiculous system. I have RSE though, so I'm wondering if maybe I can tap one of the 3.5mm headphone jacks and just leave the volume up on that.. idk I need to rip the thing apart one of these days, but please lmk if you guys end up sorting this out, best of luck out there the market is def the wild west rn.

    Great video with good information. But 30 minutes long? And two weeks to install? With tons of camera shake and commentary? The vehicle isn't that complicated.

    Yeah camera shake and commentary are our specialties. I really hope your MDX doesn't have navigation.

    That's pretty cool!. We focus on factory integration and develop products/ideas that easily integrate with the vehicle. It looks like they make a custom dash kit by just modifying the metra one. In order to feed video the the factory screens it wouldn't be hard just need a converter. If you really want to see some next level installs check the russian forums. Those guys have cracked the GA-NET+ protocol and can do all kinds of crazy integrations. Thanks for the information though I hope it helps someone!
