#577 of 609 Acura Bluetooth by afreedman Dec 01, 2008 (6:07 pm)
I have a 2008 TL with Nav and want to upgrade my Verizon cell phone to the LG Dare. Acura will not tell me if the phone is compatible; only that it is one of the phones in their "pending " list of phones. Does anyone know if this phone can be paired to my car and is compatible?   A freedman

#579 of 609 Updating problem by charlie71 Jan 03, 2009 (8:13 am)
I have a 2005 MDX and decided to update the nav system. It comes with a setup dvd and then the nav dvd. The problem is that the setup screen is hung up and displays the diagnostic screen (all green) with a button that seems open indicating “detecting”. I have let it run for over thirty minutes without it changing and going to the usual nav screen. Any suggestions on how to get the system to complete the update?   Thanks Replies to this message: rv65 (Jan 03, 2009 2:55 pm)
#580 of 609 Price paid for an 09TL front wheel with Nav? by vballplayer30 Jan 03, 2009 (9:09 am)
Debating the 09TL front wheel with or without Nav. I have a garmin already, but the other features are nice. Is it worth 3K more for nav? Anyone have a price with Nav? I saw someone listed without nav for 32, 395, which seems pretty good. Replies to this message: ponderpoint (Jan 03, 2009 9:40 am) vballplayer30 (Jan 03, 2009 10:07 am) rv65 (Jan 03, 2009 2:51 pm)

Replying to: vballplayer30 (Jan 03, 2009 9:09 am) "worth 3K more for nav?"   If there's been significant improvements perhaps... If you already have a Garmin you may be in for a let down. my experience is only with the older nav in the '06 TL... I don't even turn it on anymore (the in-dash) and use my portable Garmin... That's how bad it was.   There's suppose to be a lot of improvements with the '09 however, maybe an extensive test drive would be helpful.....

Replying to: ponderpoint (Jan 03, 2009 9:40 am) It seems pretty good from what I've heard. You can voice activate directions, and change directions while driving(some new luxury cars will not change the directions unless you pull over). Even more than the nav, the tech package comes with the back up camera, the hard drive to store music from cd's and the keyless push button start which seems kinda cool. However, much of this was said by the dealer so i don't know it all first hand.

Replying to: vballplayer30 (Jan 03, 2009 9:09 am) Well you do get the ELS audio system. Tech Package models include the ELS sound system with DVD Audio. You do lose the 6 CD changer but there is an iPod compatible USB port so yea. You can play MP3's on DVD-R's, USB Hard drive and USB thumb drives so you get the point. The other feature is the remote start. The 09 TL has a new revised Navigation system that uses a VGA display vs the 04-08 TL's non VGA display. There is also a 40 GB HDD that has a 12.7 GB partition for Music. The nav has scenic routes and zagat surveys.

Replying to: charlie71 (Jan 03, 2009 8:13 am) http://guicide.com/cars/2006civic/nav/hacks/   Here is the software reload. You have to follow the instructions. Map, Menu, and Cancel pressed at the same time get you that menu. Hit version and press DownLoad. The Diagnostic menu on the Civic Nav is the same for the MDX.
#585 of 609 '05 TL NAV system broke! by jzucco Jan 04, 2009 (6:04 am)
My NAV system started to say I needed to change disk. This caused the display to go blank and I lost all CD and screen functions. The dash would still list channels. I took car to dealership and they had to send out my NAV system. The outsource company said the NAV system had H2O damage (only way I can figure is from temperature changes came condensation...I live in NH). With the NAV out I have no functionality at all other then the radio works but I have no idea which station, dash info is blank too. Q.Can the CD be made to work without the NAV? If not, is the only other option a $3k NAV system from Acura?

#586 of 609 For those broken nav. screens by jorge12 Feb 01, 2009 (9:04 am)
If you are not in a rush to get a new one , and have a lot of time to shop around , you might want to check out the junk yards or car wrecks and you just might find a good working screen and for a real low price too .   hope that helps Replies to this message: jzucco (Feb 01, 2009 4:52 pm) rv65 (Feb 01, 2009 8:01 pm)
