#2 of 616 Great Idea! by mdhauke Jan 21, 2004 (12:20 pm)
Great idea for a new topic. The Navigation system is such an integral part of the new TL that I am sure there are a lot of tips and experiences people want to share. I pick up my new TL in 3 weeks so would to hear some pointers. Replies to this message: roofspeaker (Apr 30, 2005 11:46 am) rvator4 (Jan 29, 2007 2:37 pm)
#3 of 616 Okay, I'll start it off..... by msf2 Jan 21, 2004 (4:10 pm)
Questions: Can you locate a place or destination by entering a phone number, or , must it be an address? Can the system be updated? Some have said it will be obsolete in three years. How does it accomodate destinations that don't exist yet? (Must it have updates?) Some time ago someone on the TL discussion site posted ALL the voice commands for the system....does anybody remember which post it was?
#4 of 616 msf2 questions about Nav by aciampi Jan 21, 2004 (5:48 pm)
1. You can enter phone numbers for destinations only if it is a buisness. If you are looking to get to a friends home you need to enter their address.   2. The system can be updated. It comes in form of a new DVD-ROM with updated maps and possible software. The thing I don't know is when Acura releases updates, and how much they are. As far as being obsolete in three years, anything having to do with computers is obsolete the second it is produced. There is constantly newer technology being produced to blow the previous away. All I can say about it is that in my opinion it is an awesome system.   3. From what I have expierenced with destinations that dont exist is that you may need to find the physical address and go from there. For example when looking for the Krispy Kreme in Massachusetts I had to go on the web site to get the address because as far as the DVD knew there was no Krispy Kreme. So you would need an update the newest places of interest   And I believe the post you are looking for is on the Acura TL discussion. #4518 of 5074 free7bird / Voice Commands by gcruzsmith Replies to this message: wr_g (Apr 23, 2004 5:02 pm)
#5 of 616 This may be a stupid question, but... by bodble2 Jan 21, 2004 (5:52 pm)
Do you have to keep the DVD disc in the unit to use it, or do you just install/download it once just like you would install a computer program into a computer?

You have to have the DVD in at all times in order to use it

Thanks very much! I think I have to have one!

Not a problem. you wont be dissapointed if you do, the only problem is actually finding a TL with Nav unless you plan on ordering one.
#9 of 616 aciampi by msf2 Jan 22, 2004 (5:45 pm)
How has your experience been so far with the various voice commands? Some discussion has indicated that the command must be very exact to be understood by the system. Are there certain commands it responds to better than others? Thanks!

#11 of 616 Voice Commands And CD/DVD by aciampi Jan 22, 2004 (8:22 pm)
From my expierence the voice commands aren't too bad. It is true that you do have to be a little louder than normal, and clear without any background noise. Even the Acura manuale states that the fan speed should be no more than the 2 bar level. For the most part I haven't had much trouble at all with it. The only command that religiously screws up on me is when I say "CD Play Track 3" and it repeats to me "CD Track Repeat." Also once in a while when telling the computer a telephone number it may screw up one digit. Other than that its not too bad unless you give commands at the wrong screen. For instance you can only say "Display Off" when in the setup screen. If you say it while on the map screen it will repeat to you "Display Hotel/Motel." And it also seems that every time I speek a little too quickly or accidently screw up a word it always ends up telling me what time it is. All and all it really is relativly easy to get used to. It may take a day but when you figure out what it requires to be fully functional it really is an excellent addition to what is already a great unit. In my mind anyway.   As far as bnet504's question about playing a DVD and CD at the same time, the answer is no. It acts like a normal CD player but with the added bonus of being able to play DVD Audio if desired. Also and this is just because the question has poped up before, it doesn't have the capabilities of playing DVD videos. My question for you is why would you want it to play both at the same time?
