#51 of 474 stereo upgrade by raher Apr 18, 2004 (6:38 am)
I looked into power amps for the 3.2 TL sound system. The only amp I found that was 5.1 is made by a company called Audiobahn (audiobahninc.com). Very high end stuff but also very nice. The only amp that was 5.1 is the A5100T. They don't have prices on the Audiobahn site but give you links to places who sell audiobahn. I went to one of the retailers and priced the A5100T and was quoted $1200. You really have to want to hear it louder for $1200! That is still the only power amp I have found that will maintain the 5.1 sound system. I had conversations with people at Best Buy but it was hooking up about 5 different amps and even then I wasn't convinced you still maintained the 5.1.

You're smart not to take everything uttered from Best Buy employees as truth. I quit going there and to Circuit City for anything other than to buy that which I had already researched after myriad times of getting "I don't know" or answers I knew to be wrong. If you want quality advice, find a smaller outfit that doesn't merely employ college students as floor salespeople. You may pay a little more, but any modifications you make to the 5.1 system in particular would be well worth it to ensure sound purity and clarity.
#53 of 474 Question on Car Care Kit by jofer Apr 20, 2004 (7:44 am)
Hi everyone. My first posting here.   While trying to purchase a new Acura, the dealership attempted to sell me a 'special' car care kit (covers both exterior and interior) that is supposed to be better than the usual stuff/wax sold anywhere else. They offered it at a discounted price of $499 (includes lifetime supply). Is it worth getting it? Is it really better than other car care products?   Appreciate any response to this question.   Joe Replies to this message: 1violinist (Apr 20, 2004 11:41 am)
#54 of 474 No car care by 95gt Apr 20, 2004 (11:12 am)
Unless they sell it with a guarantee (in writing) that any damage/scratch/acid damage will be covered it is a waste of money.   Even with that it is a waste of money. Wax the car every couple of months and you will be fine. Just a way for them to get huge margin profits from customers.

Replying to: jofer (Apr 20, 2004 7:44 am) Forget it! That's one of their scams to make easy money! Just use a decent wax like Zaino for the exterior, leather cleaner/conditioner for the interior, and your car will be in tip-top shape!
#56 of 474 Body side moulding by dtate99 May 10, 2004 (6:43 pm)
I'm actually a little embarrassed to admit this, but I just realized today that my car has the body side moulding on it. When I got the car (four months ago!) it must have already been installed. The car I got was the only silver one on the lot, so I wasn't looking at the other cars carefully. Plus, there are no other TLs that I have seen yet in my city (medium sized-suburban). I happened to notice today when I saw a picture of a new TL and thought "why does the side of the car look so plain?" It was only after I went back out to look at mine that it hit me square between the eyes!   Anyway, I like the look, but I was even more psyched to realize that the dealer hadn't remembered to charge me for this accessory! In fact, with the splash guards ($89), body side moulding ($175), moon roof visor ($120), and the trunk tray ($99), I ended up with $483 dollars worth of accessories (which doesn't include "installation charges") for ZERO dollars. How cool is that!   To see how the TL looks with these accessories, or any others for that matter, click this link to the Acura site and you can build your own.   http://www.acura.com/bap/bap_step1a.asp?module=tl
#57 of 474 Retrofitting nav into a non-nav by yuushin May 12, 2004 (11:20 am)
I purchased a 2004 manual without a nav system a few months ago. Recently I've been wondering if it is possible it with retrofit the nav system.   At this time I am assuming that all the wiring is in place (with the possible exception of a lead to the trunk for the DVD) and that one would just need to install the appropriate modules. Those being the DVD player, nav display, and climate control display.   So does anyone have any insights into this?
#58 of 474 No can not be done by 95gt May 12, 2004 (11:43 am)
Okay that is not true. It could be done but i think the cost would probably be at least double what the option costs. Makes much more sense in terms of time/money/effort to go aftermarket. Just remember this regret when the next car comes around.
#59 of 474 sprint phone by maddawg May 31, 2004 (6:48 am)
I unfortunately am stuck with sprint for two years. Anyone know of any bluetooth phones that sprint offers. Replies to this message: mdhauke (May 31, 2004 12:49 pm) corey1 (Apr 03, 2005 11:10 am)

Replying to: maddawg (May 31, 2004 6:48 am) Yes, the Sony Ericson T608   http://cellphones.about.com/library/bl-pp-sony-ericsson-t608.htm   Not sure if they still offer it. I bought mine in Febuary. I use it with sprint and it works fine.
