Our take on the 2016-2018 Acura RDX Hamilton Upgrade Kit for CarPlay and Android Auto

The Hamilton Upgrade Kit adds wireless and wired CarPlay and Android Auto to the 2016-2018 Acura RDX by installing behind the factory radio and using the original screen. Unlike replacement head units, it keeps the factory AM/FM/XM radio, CD player, rear entertainment, backup camera, parking sensors and driver-assist features working. A long press of the back button switches between the Acura interface and CarPlay or Android Auto. It suits RDX owners who want modern phone mirroring without losing factory audio or safety systems.

About the 2016-2018 Acura RDX Hamilton Upgrade Kit for CarPlay and Android Auto

This upgrade kit adds wireless and wired CarPlay and Android Auto to the factory screen in a 2016-2018 Acura RDX. It installs behind the factory radio and works with the original screen.

The factory XM, FM and AM radio and the original CD player stay available. The kit also keeps the original audio quality, including optional upgrades such as ELS Studio Premium Audio, if equipped.
