  1. Tyler

    Bought the wire harness and kit for a 2008 Acura MDX (non-navigation). Easiest stereo install ever. Plug-n-play. Was able to use factory amps and Sub. Steering wheel control was preprogrammed for my stereo. Would definitely reccomend!!!

  2. Carlos Canizales

    I am very happy with the aftermarket Acura MDX PNP radio complete kit. Everything worked and fitted properly in my Acura MDX 2008 (no navigation). I am very pleased with the final product, it looks very professional. I would have given 4 1/2 starts. The only reason why I don’t give 5 stars is because there were not instructions where each adapter goes, plus the steering will control the connection is done slightly different since you need to add the small box included. I am saying this because I am not an electronic expert it took me few minutes watching the videos you posted specially when you are doing the connections. After you figure it out is very simple. One page showing a drawing of the connections would have helped. Other than that it was an excellent work, very happy in saving the installation work. I will do this again and I will recommend it to anybody.

    Purchased the complete wiring kit for a 2008 Acura MDX non-navigation in NYC. Easiest headunit install ever.
    Plug-N-Play.
    Beats having to go to a shop and get a custom set up I was quoted $700.
    I’ve also added a back up cam definitely worth it.
    Would recommend!
