Step-by-Step Installation Tips for Acura MDX 2008–2013 Android Screens

Here’s a simple installation process for the Acura MDX 2008–2013 Android screens:

1. Remove the factory screen and trim with plastic tools.

2. Connect the wiring harness. OEM 8” is plug-and-play; Tesla 12.3” requires careful matching.

3. Install the CANBUS decoder (Tesla version) to support AC display and steering controls.

4. Power on and test all functions—climate, audio, steering wheel buttons.

5. Reassemble the dashboard securely.

👉 The OEM-style install is faster, while the Tesla-style takes more time but delivers a modern luxury look.
