Wiring is straightforward for the OEM-style screen but requires extra attention for the Tesla-style 12.3” display in the Acura MDX 2008–2013.
-
OEM-Style 8” – Plug-and-play with the included harness. Minimal setup required.
-
Tesla-Style 12.3” – More advanced wiring:
-
Correctly connect the CANBUS decoder.
-
Route amplifier or AUX lines properly.
-
Test climate controls and steering wheel buttons before final assembly.
-
👉 Always check connections carefully. Most issues come from wiring mistakes, especially with the 12.3” version.
