NESA N-81ACRD OEM Upgrade Multimedia Navigation System with 8-Inch TFT-LCD Touchscreen Monitor and Bluetooth for Honda Accord 2008-2011

I bought this unit to replace my Honda Accord Crosstour 2010's OEM unit. I am glad I did because this one is way better than the OEM's monochrome screen. These are the features that I really like from this unit:1. GPS - Very good even though the UI is not as good as my standalone Garmin but the details on the UI of the NESA (Ingenix core) is much better than the Garmin2. The interface for the Multimedia display and the climate control is much better compare to the crappy Honda's unit.3. The camera display is also excellent.4. Bluetooth for phone and music player is not that bad.The things I wish it could do better on the NESA are:1. Should integrate the sound to Honda sound system. It is inconvenient that every-time I have to switch to Aux mode if I want to hear music or sound through Honda's audio system.2. Installation instructions should be more details. If you are not a tech savvy then good luck try to understand how to hookup all the cables together. I am quite tek savvy and still took me 4 hours for the whole installation. The hardest part of the installation is cable management/routing. You have to plan ahead or else it will be a spaghetti mess in your car.It's been 4 days since I finished my installation and using it. So far so good. I will update this post if I run into any issue. I rated it 4 due to lack of audio integration and installation instructions

I began to read reviews for this system a few weeks ago because i felt i was lacking something colorful in my accord. For the price the N-81ACRD worked out better than i expected. It dazzled me with its array of colors and navigating around the unit was simple! Installation was somewhat difficult because the paperwork that came with the unit did not go into detail on that aspect only operation. once i finished i realized it was a plug and play install.Here are some tips: - The green "parking" wire needs to be grounded or be an idiot w/ lots of money and buy a parking wire bypass unit - You need to be creative when routing the wires i.e IR, MIC, GPS antenna etc. and be prepared to remove some upholstery. - I would purchase a rear camera along with this source unit so you wont have to go back for re-installation of the car interior.

OK I like it so far it works perfectly on my Honda Accord 2011 se. Takes 2-3 hours to install but I'm sure you guys can do it not too hard. Great product gps is outdated but reroutes very fast. It connects perfectly to my iPhone 4,5,6 and my galaxy's note android phones. It's perfect with the bluetooth once you have learned how to use the system. Also makes my music sounds louder and better. Bluetooth and gps will play out of the car speakers if u put it on the aux option. Also calls work great you can upload your contacts to it also make calls and check recent calls. Display is a great one even the backup camera looks great . thanks any questions ask me.

This system is a huge upgrade over the existing 4inch boring screen. All OEM controls are still functional and displayed on the screen.If you've ever installed an aftermarket stereo, you can install this one. I took me 2 hours to do - I did watch a significant amount of YouTube videos and checked out 8thGenAccord forums for additional information/clarification.Only issues:Bluetooth - you need to connect the AUX output (from unit) to the AUX input in the center console to hear Navi/Bluetooth over the car speakers. Also, I installed the microphone where the original mic was is the interior light assembly. That was not easy to do, but it can be done.Navi - takes a little while to boot up and recognize where it is. Once that happens, it works perfectly. It is slightly outdated looking (still looking for software updates) but it does the job. I installed the GPS antenna next to the light sensor behind the head unit and it works fine - strong signal.Bottom Line: Best part is this unit looks stock and functions with existing controls

I paid 233 bucks, great product for the money. I bought an F-81ACRD last year and paid 280 so my expectations were not that high. It far exceeded my expectations. The N-81ACRD and F-81ACRD are the exact same product. I did have an issue with the N-81 not playing through the car speakers so I called their tech support. I explained what the problem was and the tech was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what the problem was. He directed me to go into the home screen and go to set up, then go to sounds and turn it from off to on. That took care of the problem which turned out not to be a problem at all. I also installed a back up camera. If you already have it apart it's not too much more trouble to install that too. I bought it mainly for the navigation and Bluetooth but it does so much more. Take your time installing it, put some thought into where to route your wires so you have a nice clean job and you wont be disappointed. Great product!

I would have given it 5 stars... although it is an excelent addition to my car, the ipod interface is very slow and cannot handle second layer folders or albums. Whenever you select a group it shows every song listed for that group... no album option right beneath the group selection... it just pours all songs into a list. I created play lists with the most heard groups/albums and this way I kinda circumvented the issue explained above.Other than the ipod interface, the screen is an awesome upgrade from the factory (non-nav) screen. Don't forget to install the rear camera to get the full potential from this upgrade...

Outstanding.. Ordered this unit on sunday and received it on Tuesday just like they said.. Just installed it myself in my 2012 accord SE. It works perfect.. Everything is on point. The map is accurate.. The Bluetooth works perfect and all the buttons on the dash and steering wheel works as well. This product is a very good device and the price for it is priceless.. Thanks!!!!
