You can bypass the factory amp but I wouldn't recommend it, the stock system is easliy upgradable. It isn't worth it to do two jobs eg. install the headunit first, and then upgrade the rest of the system later. It just means the installer has to do twice the work. I recommend Tommy at MusicBox if you do decide to do this.

 

yea yea you n your $1k+ audio stuff lol.

so all in all whats the dollar figures im lookin at for a decent setup?

 

i voted for the headlight conversion but if you dont have nav, maybe thats where you should go to first. i love my oem nav

 

none of the above. do a carputer.

 

my co-worker had a carputer in his TSX... it crashed n fried on him lol. He liked it but said it was a pita.. n yea.. i wouldnt mind having one but... iono

 

Headlight retros will run $400 just for the outers, and you have to source another pair of headlights.

visors are 140 form nigel, and puddle lights are pretty inexpensive

The headunit for a non navi can be as low as $200, a navi you're looking at at least $500 for a decent one. I recommend the kenwoods as you know. Hey you free to help me put on some wheels tonight? puahahaha.

 

Double din navi is a no brainer IMO, adds much more praticality to your car. Course, you can do the other things after.

 

I voted on the Navi... but..... I don't have a lot of $$$ so I'd probably go with the visors, navi then the retrofit. I have an SC400 and is only my weekend car. I use my truck as my daily driver and have a portable navigation on there anyways that I could put on the SC if needed
