#51 of 616 mdhauke, phone problem by uvamarkg1 Mar 29, 2004 (8:07 am)
I have a similar issue with the T608. If I receive and incoming call or if I initiate the call from my phone, the call starts through the system but then immediately transfers to the phone. For some reason, after this happens once during a trip - it works for the rest of the trip (if I initiate the call for a 2nd time). Anyone else having issues like this???
#52 of 616 Sony XYZ Navigation System by theweissman Apr 06, 2004 (2:26 pm)
See this! Looks almost like a video game. Plays videos, checks e-mail, and hooks up to your PC via USB2. NICE!   Too bad it's only for the Japan market. (No plans announced for USA.)   http://www.sony.jp/products/me/xyz/index.html
#53 of 616 XM NavTraffic by notrust2k3 Apr 07, 2004 (9:06 am)
"XM Radio and NAVTEQ Introduce XM NavTraffic: The Nation's First Satellite Traffic Information Service for Vehicle Navigation Systems" http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040407/dcw010_1.html   I *want* this on my 2004 Acura TL. Anyone have any idea if the standard Acura nav system can be upgraded to this enhanced NavTraffic system???   It's an obvious use of the technology - I just didn't realize they were so close to offering it!
#54 of 616 Real-time traffic info on 2005 RL Nav... by 03oddity Apr 07, 2004 (2:06 pm)
Check out www.hondanews.com for info on today's debut of the 2005 RL. Of note, its nav system features real-time traffic info!! Likely to be the same system alluded to in the previous post.   I'm in the market for a TL, not RL, but this is big news.   Here in L.A. we suffer daily due to too many cars, plus idiots flipping SUVs over in traffic lanes. I too *want this* before I plunk down my money for a TL Nav. Any info, rumors, etc. re: Acura's plans to migrate this to the TL platform??

Replying to: aciampi (Jan 21, 2004 5:48 pm) Re: entering phone #s for a business, how about a business that isn't a restauarant or other public place like a law firm or a pharmaceutical company for example? Will the NAV system tell me how to get there? Also, how about if the business is off the main drag? My clients are at big office bldgs and I don't know the main number only the office phone number of the person I'm visiting. Will the Nav be able to direct me using any phone number at that premise or do I have to enter the "main number" of the company?
#56 of 616 Phone numbers by kph Apr 27, 2004 (9:14 am)
It is my understanding that the contents of the navi locations are culled from public information such as contained in buisiness yellow pages from the phone company. It appears to me that they have collected this data for those areas in the database that are 'detailed mapped'. Why I suspect this is if you every go and search for a custom category, the list that is displayed looks right out of a yellow page directory.   So, the only phone numbers that can be looked up would be the 'main' number of the place, as listed in the directory.   If by "off the main drag" you mean on a road that isn't in the map, I would suspect you are out of luck. If they can't direct you to the location, they would be silly to put them in the database.
#57 of 616 Monthly Cost for Navigation Service ? by dave___in___ct Apr 30, 2004 (6:36 am)
Hi...   Is there an ongoing monthly charge for the navigation service?   Cost?   Who provides it/bills you?   Cost of new navigation DVD ?   Thanks...   Dave...
#58 of 616 No cost every month by 95gt Apr 30, 2004 (6:57 am)
You only pay for the system. use it as much and as often as you want   A disc will cost about 200 bucks. But you really do not need to update every year (assuming, and that is a big IF, that acura comes out with a new disc every year).   I have a 2001 and the new disc finally came out Jan 2004.

Replying to: 95gt (Apr 30, 2004 6:57 am) Thanks you...   Good news... no monthly charge...   New disk cost is high though... and infrequent updates is not so great... too bad there aren't non-Acura disks available at a lower cost...   Dave... Replies to this message: mdhauke (Apr 30, 2004 12:24 pm)

Replying to: dave___in___ct (Apr 30, 2004 7:59 am) There is no need to update the disks every year. Figure you will probably update the disk once every 2-4 years.
