#554 of 612 Re: Acura White Navigation DVD 4.70 for sale [6nascar6] by rv65 Aug 04, 2008 (4:57 pm)
Replying to: 6nascar6 (Aug 04, 2008 8:24 am) Yes 4.70 is compatible with the 2007-2008 TL. All 2007-2008 TL's use the 4.xx system.
#555 of 612 09 TL navigation by rv65 Aug 07, 2008 (6:06 pm)
The new 09 TL uses a hard drive instead of a DVD navigation system. The hard drive can store Music and Navigation data. They upgraded the navigation display to have higher resolution and better graphics. Updates may be installed at the dealer or a special DVD could update it.

Replying to: rv65 (Aug 07, 2008 6:06 pm) The 09 TL with nav loses the CD changer but the Hard drive more than makes up for it. Replies to this message: upstatedoc (Aug 11, 2008 4:32 am) rv65 (Aug 11, 2008 3:10 pm) rv65 (Aug 12, 2008 10:14 am) rv65 (Aug 16, 2008 4:11 pm)

Replying to: rv65 (Aug 08, 2008 5:32 pm) So the CD player will not hold the standard 6 CD's? But can you download CD's to the harddrive? Replies to this message: rv65 (Aug 11, 2008 3:10 pm) rv65 (Aug 12, 2008 10:14 am)

Replying to: upstatedoc (Aug 11, 2008 4:32 am) Yes you can download the CD's to the hard drive. Even pictures can be downloaded. It's said that it could rip MP3 and WMA files to the hard drive. The Music partition was said to be about 13 GB which is quite a bit of songs. It supports iPod's as well. No real need for a CD changer. Replies to this message: rv65 (Aug 12, 2008 10:14 am)
#559 of 612 Re: 2005 TL Navigation questions [pongima] by dhart1 Aug 12, 2008 (7:00 am)
Replying to: pongima (Jun 29, 2008 8:58 pm) I have a 2004 TL that has the same problem with some voice directions. I checked out everything on it before buying it, but this feature, and haven't been able to find a solution for the lack of voice responses to directions. All other voice commands and responses work just fine, other than those with directions. The radio goes to the back speakers like it is trying to work, but nothing. Suggestions?   Then just yesterday, the navi system won't "boot". I get the starting screen ("sun over the earth"), but it won't advance to the next screen. I pulled out the orange disk and checked it (no problems), but it still won't work. Suggestions?   Also, since I have the orange disk, is there any other disks I could upgrade to to get newer information? What would be a reasonable cost to pay for an upgrade? Thanks.

Replying to: rv65 (Aug 11, 2008 3:10 pm) The hard drive is about 40 GB and it automatically rip's audio CD's to the hard drive though you can disable it and do it manually. The bit rate is about 128 kbps so it might not satisfy everyone. Then again only 12.7 GB is allocated for music. Finally Honda has decided to upgrade it's navi system to have a High resolution display and a hard drive.

Replying to: rv65 (Aug 08, 2008 5:32 pm) As for 09 TL map updates those might have to be done at the dealer. It's probably due to them having a specialized data machine. Just like in 1996-1999 . Or Acura could release a DIY DVD updates. I'm sure the update could erase music and photo data. The FCX clarity also uses this system and maps have to be done at a Honda dealer.
#562 of 612 Gracenote database by rv65 Aug 17, 2008 (8:33 pm)
09 TL's with Navigation also use Gracenote for CD song information. The Gracenote database requires updates to ensure accuracy.
#563 of 612 New map updates by rv65 Aug 21, 2008 (10:30 am)
2000-2003 still get 2.50 which means they may stop updates for this platform 2004-2006 owners can now upgrade to 3.71 2007-2008 owners can now get 4.64 which is finally available. Those people can finally update their system to have the latest information.
