Description

If you want to simplify installing an aftermarket in dash stereo receiver in your 4th generation Acura TL covering years 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013, then this radio installation kit is complete with everything you will need to install a new stereo in your Acura TL. This kit does not include a radio. Our kit includes all the necessary components to install an aftermarket radio in your Acura TL. These components include a dash kit, a custom made wiring harness, the AXSWC steering wheel control interface and the ELS Amplifier Interface if necessary. Our custom harness allows you to have a plug and play installation with a supported compatible radio, the dash kit allows you to install a new radio in the factory location and the AXSWC allows you to control the aftermarket radio with your factory steering wheel controls. The ELS Amplifier Interface allows you to retain the factory amplifier in the navigation equipped models. The non navigation models do not need this interface.

A parking bypass is highly recommended with your order if your radio brand is Pioneer, Kenwood or Alpine. You can learn more about the bypass and add one to your cart using this link.

Your Base Acura TL has a total of 8 speakers that are powered by the factory amplifier. When replacing the factory radio using our complete kit you are able to keep all of the speakers except the center channel. The front door speakers, tweeters, rear deck speakers and the factory subwoofer will all continue to work; the center dash speaker will not work. Our harness integrates with the factory amplifier to keep all your speakers working. If your factory amplifier does not work this kit will not work.

Your Tech Package or Navigation equipped TL has a total of 10 speakers that are powered by the factory amplifier. When replacing the factory radio using our complete kit you are able to keep all the speakers. The way the ELS Amplifier Interface retains the factory amplifier is by feeding left and right audio from the aftermarket radio to the factory amplifier and the factory amplifier up-mixes the audio from stereo to 5.1 surround.

You will lose Sirius XM, AUX Input and the factory handsfree link functionality. The steering wheel controls including volume up, volume down, next, previous and mode will work.
