The customer service person does not know what they are talking about. Just do a Google for acura tl bluetooth verizon and do your own research. What works should be found in one of the acura forums.
 
What will be different with each phone is the amount of information that the TL can get from the phone. My Motorola V551 only provides signal strength, not battery level and some other indicators.

I have an '06 on order also. I have a Palm One Treo 650 and did a software upgrade that allows it to work with the TL. In order to test my phone prior to the car arriving, I made arrangements with my dealer to visit the lot and link with one there. It works fine. However, not all indicators will necessarily show on the readout. I also purchased a new Samsung from Verizon for my wife and took it with me to test as well. Again, I got the same results - functionality without all the indicators like battery and signal strength. Verizon had a 14 day return policy, so I tested it and kept the Samsung even though it is not officially approved by Acura. I called Acura, and they only have a small number of phones they will approve. Don't let their approval list keep you from some other phone that may work also.

Thanks for the Google suggestion...navigated my way to the Acura internal website via another forum board for Acura and I found the listing of Verizon compatible phones and it listed the Motorola E815 which I obtained yesterday (after getting a fax from dealer with the list of compatible phones) Good thing I did this because I almost got the LG8100 but website specifically lists the phones that aren't compatible!!

An ipod FYI:
 
I know there has been a lot of discussion regarding the ipod music link in this forum… But I thought I would share what my Acura Parts guy told me today. He said that the ipod music links should be in towards the end of December give or a take a week or two. Also, the dealers can start placing orders for the units. The price is right around 220.00 and it calls for one hour of labor to install. He guaranteed me that they would work with all of the 2006 TL’s (sorry no word for the 04, 05’s yet) and that the Acura part managers would start knowing a lot about this product because if the dealer orders at least six units together then there is an ipod that will be shipped with the music link units for display purposes (AKA a free ipod for the parts manager). I have him holding a unit for me as soon as it comes in. I will post on the install process as soon as I have the info.

You will LOVE The lights !!! Everybody asks me about them... I just tell them they are stock
 
Each lens cover comes off easy, use a sharp knife edge and pry the cover off carefully... the door lens come off without any tools, just use your hands.

This came to me via email today, so I thought I would pass along the good news. This gives a little better idea on the price.

Thanks for posting this.
 
No word on whether information about the music being played will show up on the Navi screen? Or whether the iPod can be controlled using the buttons on the steering wheel?
