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

Also check ebay. They have some TL parts for the 2004-2006 TL. 2007-2008 use a different nav system.

My NAV '04 completely stop working. I can still hear the radio but there isn't anything on the screen. I also took it to the dealership and I was informed that it would cost $3900 to replace since they do not repair them. In addition I took it to another place for a second opinion and I was informed that the NAV system wasn't working because it had been exposed to mositure in the trunk... and that it is common in Acuras and Hondas (the car was purchased in MA)...Just wanted to share my frustration as well especially since I've been spoiled with using it to find my way around and I've only owned the car since July 08.

Don't feel so bad, my '06 TL did the same thing. I'm spending $2k to buy it and putting it in myself.

Before you purchase new, check the salvage/junk yards and ebay. I have found them from $300-$500. Don't get soaked by the deal!

That is on ebay. I also need the wiring harness as well, the one that was installed was made by the previous 1 owner who added the Nav system aftermarket. So my warranty is not covered on that. Wish I had known that before hand. I need the Nav drive and wiring harness, but only one guy is selling the wiring harness on ebay along with the whole kit. I have to buy the whole kit.

'05 TL Nav is a little off

I own an '05 TL Auto with nav and it's a little off. I've never upgraded the nav software.
By a little off, I mean it's usually off by less than 20-30 feet or so.
As I approach my destination, the nav will say "destination"... but I'm not there...I'd have to drive up to 30 feet or so before I reach my final destination.
It's been like this for a while now, possibly since day 1, but I haven't been bothered by it too much.
However, I'll be bringing my car in for a B2 service this weekend, I might as well bring it up to the dealer, though I'm not sure what they can do?
Is there a way to calibrate the nav? There's a setting, but I think that changes the POSITION of the vehicle, and that's not what I want.
Any thoughts?

How many years of service can I expect?

I'm looking at an 09 TL with tech. I am worried about all the sytems connected to the navigation screen with the Tech package. Could I expect 6-7 years out of this system without repairs? We keep our cars that long, and don't want to be putting big dollars into a system I really don't need. I have found a 1500 mile 09 with tech for the same price as a new 09 TL base, and I'm going back and forth what to buy? Any help? Thanks everyone, Mark

Mark, I had the same concern a year ago when I bought my '08 TL with the Nav package as I planned to keep the car 5 - 8 years. I was able to negotiate down the cost of the extended warranty for several more years after the mfg warranty expired. Well, exactly 1 year to the day, my Nav system failed and it turned out to be the Nav controller. I believe that part was around $2k to replace. Although it was covered under the standard mfg warranty, if it had failed during the extended warranty period, I would have saved money buying the extended warranty as the repairs would have been more than I paid for the extended warranty. With all the electronics on the TLs, it is peace of mind having the extended warranty. Yes, the extended warranty is negotiable and I think you are better off getting the warranty thru the Acura dealer, just make sure your thoroughly read the warranty and clearly understand what it does not cover. Consumer Reports indicated there is much less of a problem and hassle getting the extended warranty work paid for when you get the extended warranty thru the dealer. Of course if you keep the TL only a few years, the extended warranty is not worth the cost.
