#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?

bnet504...if you meant to ask if you could "play" the dvd for the nav and a CD in the stereo system at the same time the answer is yes. Yes, because they are played in two different systems. The Nav DVD is "played" in the Nav DVD system in the trunk, while you would "play" the cd or dvd-audio in the stereo in the dash.   10 of 11 nav dvd by bnet504 Jan 22, 2004 (8:54 pm) i plan on buying a TL soon and i was just wandering if u can play the dvd disc and a cd at the same time

thanks for the answers

if you mean the DVD Map disk...it's in a separate compartment in the trunk. It has nothing to do with playing audio CD's or DVD's. So yeah, you can have the DVD-Map and DVD Audio going at the same time...

Keeping you busy here....... When you enter a destination how quickly does it come up on the screen? Are you able to follow your progress on a long trip on the screen and still listen to XM radio or an audio DVD?
#16 of 616 by aciampi Jan 23, 2004 (6:56 pm)
My mistake bnet504, I thought you you were talking about a DVD Audio Disc at the same time as a CD.   It only takes about 10 seconds at the most when you enter a destination. The only time it might take longer is if you plan a destination that is a great distance. For example I live in Mass but for kicks I decided to see how long it would take me to get from my house to the Mirage Hotel And Casion in Las Vegas. And that took about 20 seconds to compute. While using the navigational screen you can listen to AM/FM, XM, CD, or DVD. You can also switch between the map screen and the audio screen without loseing your destination input. It will also still give voice directions while in the audio screen.

Does the system automatically mute the stereo when the voice directions come on? Replies to this message: bhelsdon (Apr 27, 2005 8:31 am)
#18 of 616 2004 TL Navi No Input While Moving? by spilranul Jan 25, 2004 (10:44 am)
I read somewhere that as a "safety feature", the 2004 TL navigation system won't allow you to input an address while the car is in motion.   I love my '99 TL's Navi system and I look forward to getting a new 04 TL, but after reading about this new "safety feature" I am afraid it will really take the fun out of using the system.   For example, if I decide I want to find a Pizza Hut while on the road, do I need to stop the car, to use the system to find one?   Can anyone confirm this?   I've been using my current system for five years without any safety issue.   Is Acura's next step diabling the temperature control system so you can't turn down the A/C without pulling over?
#19 of 616 Entering info while in motion by kph Jan 25, 2004 (12:43 pm)
That review was in error, as was noted in the "Acura TL" forum. One of the Host's mentioned that they fowarded this to the reviewer (the error is in the Edmunds detailed review).   You can enter information while in motion, like past Honda/Acura nav systems. At lease I could when I was on a test drive.

The voice directions doesn't mute the radio, but it does turn it down enough for you to hear the directions.
