When replacing the radio in your Acura TSX you will need to modify the plastic behind the factory radio to fit the new radio in place. This modification while permanent does not affect the ability to install the factory radio or any factory components. If you replace the radio in your Acura TSX the new aftermarket radio will utilize the factory amplifier to keep all of your speakers including the front door speakers, tweeters, rear deck speakers and rear deck subwoofers. You will also get to keep the steering wheel control buttons including volume up, volume down, next, prev and mode. The Navigation and HFL control buttons will not work. The factory navigation will keep working but you will have no sound from it. The factory backup camera will still work if equipped through the factory navigation. This radio kit is meant to be installed below the factory radio please check the pictures. The factory radio and climate control will remain functional.
