Help Needed On Acura RDX: V1+Navigation Hardwire

hl0m4n · 10-08-2007, 10:01 PM

unlike bmws, the fuse box is under the hood where the ecu compartment is on our bmws. so other then leading the wires from the v1 and navigation from the fuse box under the hood to inside the cabin any other ideas?

i would ask a acura forum but i couldn't find a acura forum that speak about the rdx nor could i find a rdx forum that is big and functional like e90post.

Engine bay is probably the easiest. In the driver's footwell, there should be a passage through the firewall. Every Honda I've ever known has a passage somewhere above the brake pedal going through the firewall. Dig a bit, it's threre somewhere. If you don't want to do that, the 12v feed to the radio will have more than enough power to handle the V1. I don't know anything about your Nav, so I can't say much about it.
