#600 of 609 09 TL Tech CDDB update by rv65 May 06, 2009 (6:30 pm)
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! Replies to this message: rv65 (May 06, 2009 6:31 pm)

#602 of 609 2007 Acura TL Nav System Freezing after 2.5 hours by deitza Jul 02, 2009 (8:30 am)
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. Replies to this message: 6nascar6 (Jul 06, 2009 6:58 pm)

#606 of 609 '07 Acura TL Navigation Issues by knightrider_99 Aug 23, 2009 (4:06 pm)
I have two major frustrations with my navigation system. My first concern I have had since I leased my vehicle (Nov '07) which was that the maps are very out-dated. Nearly half of all the addresses I try to locate in my navigation system are not found. I am a small business owner and rely on my vehicle a lot to get to my customers' residence or place of business and this is one of the major reasons why I got a "fully-loaded" model. My navigation disc is version 4.56A. I tried working with my local dealer without success and then Acura Client Services with the same outcome. Just more recently (a couple of months ago) I started having major problems. My navigation would quit working and show the following error message, "DVD disc reading error....please consult your dealer" My dealer tried cleaning my disc which made it work for a short time and that was all they offered. Then Acura Client Services stated that Alpine Electronics manufactures the disc and there wasn't anything they were going to do about it. I can't believe that Acura being a luxury car company wouldn't be willing to fix my problem. All that I request is for a complimentary replacement since my vehicle is still under warranty (20,000 miles). I don't think it is unreasonable for me to receive a navigation disc at no charge because the one I have is defective in more than one way. If Acura isn't willing to resolve this issue I guess this will be my last Acura!!! Hopefully someone out there can help me! Replies to this message: rvator4 (Aug 24, 2009 3:37 am)

Replying to: knightrider_99 (Aug 23, 2009 4:06 pm) I actually purchased a new disc before a vacation trip. It locked up many times, gave wrong directions, was missing a 4-lane highway near our destination that was 40 years old, and didn't have our final destination on it even though they had lived in the home for 5 years. I contacted Alpine and they told me two weeks was the time you had to return it and in the original packaging. After a claim to the BBB, they sent me a mailer and a full refund. I would contact the BBB where Alpine is located and file a claim.
#608 of 609 09 TL Map Updates by rv65 Aug 27, 2009 (11:18 pm)
The 09 TL navi system is HDD based. You'll can order the disc from acuranavi.com/. The update is tied by VIN and device ID. Only 1 car per update. This prevents people from reselling the disc or making copies for other people. There is also an update status feature that can let you preview the disc. This DVD will also update the Firmware to 1.90. Map version is 7.80. 7.70 is what all 09 TL's have right now with firmware v1.80. Should take a while to update it so be patient. Hope this helps.
