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. |

Well you can rip your own CD's to the hard drive but you can't transfer MP3/WMA files. The hard drive is still limited to 12.7 GB. You can burn mix CD's as audio CD format which most music programs do. You can transfer pictures but only 10 of them through a flashdrive. This will be used as a wallpaper or screensaver. They even integrated it to the Memory system. Driver 1 and Driver 2 can each personalize their wallpaper. Backup camera has lines to help with the parking. So it has some form of parking assist. Maps are avaliable through a dealer or by acuranavi.com/. Acura will let people update this system yourself. There are scenic routes on this new upgraded system. Expanded Hawaii and Alaska coverage will be a plus. This new nav system overall is probably an improvement. The VGA display is much better than the current Acura navigation system. Like having a high-def display for navigation.

| Not sure this won't be deleted, but I'll ask. I'm tired of having to push OK every time I start the car. I bought the car, that should account for something. I have a 2008 TL w/NAV. I love the car. I guess I'm looking for a computer hack to do away with the start up OK button. Any ideas? Has anyone done this? | |

| I just bought a 2003 TL with navigation. The navi screen is black and the button controls alongside it don't respond. The dvd box in trunk will not take in the dvd. Everything else in the car (including radio) works perfectly. I checked the fuse marked "navigation" and it seems fine. I'd love some suggestions -- no owner's manual was included with the car! Thanks very much -- Joel | |

Does anybody have the good fortune of trading in an earlier TL (w/ navi) for one of the brand new 09's also with navi? I'm just trying to save time without bothering a car salesman to see if the navi has vast improvements or just so-so upgrades. Some posters may recall I'm the curmudgeon that slammed in-dash navi's a while back, the TL's was no exception and urged people to "save yourself the money and get a portable" until the in-dash units "grow up". My two biggest gripes with the TL navi was not having the capability of "outlawing" U-turns (a simplistic pre-select in portables) and absolutely NO detail in maps two clicks out in zoom.... Any big changes in these areas?
