Map updates are going to happen for the 09 TL. It uses a HDD for the nav system. Updates are via a DVD. Acura has added some security codes to prevent you from buying cheap ebay map discs or copies of the disc. I think there is some NAV ID and then you use that to enter a code that enables the update. The update will take about an hour to an hour and a half. Might take less time or even longer. It might also include a firmware update. It's got to transfer a lot of data which takes time. The disc can be ordered at acura or www.acuranavi.com/. The 09 TL has Gracenote CDDB and that's a free update. In fact, I highly recommend you get your cars CDDB updated to the latest version since it will have all the music info. Thats like your music database. Hope this helps. |

We took ownership of a used 09 Acura Tl with tech. Sorry to say we didn't get a full training on the system since it wss purchased at a non-Acura dealer. While driving with the audio display screen up, we get the voice warning of a non- road condition when my wife drives into a gas station or other road. I have been busy reading through the 600 plus page owners manual and 170 page navigation manual. Is there a way to disable navagation completely while driving on local roads? We have been using the moon/sun button to darken the display, then go to the off mode. Once in the off mode, then we access the audio screen. Thank you, Mark

If you have a 09 TL with Tech package a CDDB update is now available. Updating the CDDB should be done as soon as they release them to keep up with all the latest CD releases. Version number is 8.6.0020 and you can get it at myacura. Takes about 20 minutes but if you don't want to do it that way you could get it done at the dealer. All gracenote updates are complimentary during the warranty or life of the car. So yeah, go do it!

Appreciate any thoughts others may have on this. Earlier this year, I upgraded my nav system DVD with the latest (think it is version 4.7.3). A week ago, I took a long family vacation and found that at roughly 2 1/2 hours, my nav system would consistently freeze. It did this 4 straight times. By freezing, I mean that not only is the system not updating location, but the entire screen is unusable for audio tuning or any other system functions. It would work fine after the car had been turned off and back on -- even remembering where my destination was and plotting the remainder of the trip. Any ideas on this? Is is a known issue? Is there any way to force a reboot of the system while driving? Appreciate any thoughts -- I'm still under warranty and will call my local dealer, but not sure if they'll just tell me to revert to the previous DVD... |

Is there a way to delete all, or some of the destination addresses in my navi system? I've gone through the manual and could find nothing on this. Thanks, Bob S.
