#42 of 616 Changing the Background Color? by adman17 Mar 21, 2004 (1:49 pm)
Set-up screen 3 has an option for changing the background color to 1 of 4 choices. -blue, amber,grey,red. I can't seem to discern any difference to any color when I choose one of these options. The manual states that this changes the background color of Text Boxes, but mine seem to be Blue no matter which color I choose. Not a huge problem, I'm just wondering if I'm missing something. Anybody out there have any input?   Thanks.

My Nav display only shows the slot in which the DVD-A/CD I'm playing is located. I haven't seen any artist or song info. Is this a set up issue or is there a specific screen I'm not looking at? Replies to this message: navguy1 (Jun 29, 2005 2:14 pm)
#44 of 616 Nav Display of Artist/Song Info by jjabbytaylor Mar 22, 2004 (5:01 am)
I only get Artist/Song info on XM Radio. When I'm playing CDs, all I get is track number, changer slot and elapsed time.   Hope this helps.   Jeff
#45 of 616 Is TL using NavTech/Denso by igiban Mar 23, 2004 (11:02 am)
for the map/POI source?   BTW, does TL NAV tell you to make a U-turn when you go pass an instructed turn point?
#46 of 616 From my test drive... by bodble2 Mar 23, 2004 (12:34 pm)
I don't think the Nav tells you to make a U-turn. It just re-maps and shows you an altered route to your destination. On further thought, I don't think any Nav will instruct to make a U-turn since it wouldn't know whether it would be legal or safe to do so? Replies to this message: leeareed (Dec 27, 2004 8:10 am)
#47 of 616 U-turns by kph Mar 23, 2004 (3:40 pm)
The Nav system in our 2000 Odyssey requests U-turns all the time when you go past or start out in the wrong direction.   But, the voice says "U-turn if possible" leaving it up to the driver to make the safety decision.   If you don't u-turn, after a distance it will recompute the path. In many cases, it decides the best path is still the u-turn and request it again. At some point, it will decide that an alternate path is best and stop the request -- all depends on your location/destination and the density of alternate options.   Since the TL's Nav system is also Alpine, I would presume it operates similarly -- I won't get a chance to check until I pick mine up (either Saturday or Monday -- it is currently in Indiana on a truck).
#48 of 616 Phone problem by mdhauke Mar 23, 2004 (5:51 pm)
I have paired up my Sony Erickson T608 with my 04 Acura TL and am having one problem. I can place calls with the steering wheel but for some reason I have trouble answering them. When an incoming call comes in I hit the talk button on the steering wheel and it just hangs up the phone. Then for a while if I held it down for more then 10 seconds it would answer the phone and keep it on. But now it’s just hanging up again. And no I am not pressing the wrong button. Anybody else having similar problems or has a solution?
#49 of 616 U-Turns by jjabbytaylor Mar 24, 2004 (5:18 am)
My 04 TL's Nav system requests u-turns, if possible, fairly frequently. Even if you don't miss your destination, but you can't turn left into the destination, it will request a u-turn and then have you turn right into the destination.   Jeff
#50 of 616 U-turns by legend91 Mar 25, 2004 (12:11 am)
I did a lot of nav testing on a recent overnight test drive. As soon as I passed my street it would request a U-turn if possible. Go about 1/4 to 1/2 mile and it would reroute. I was very impressed with the nav system, though never used any before. It picked up every street, seems accurate to a few feet. However, it is not perfect and missed a few logical shortcuts but nothing serious.   Looking forward to my very own TL w/nav coming in 3 weeks.
