New and fast growing? by 95gt

Not sure where you are living but i live in DC/Maryland and that area has grown a huge amount. The only new roads they put just connect 2 old roads so i am "off the digitized road for 10 seconds then back on track. If it was cheaper i would agree but in 99% of the cases the 200 bucks is kind of a waste IMO.

So, if the Navs says "off digitized road", does that mean your on your own as far as directions?

It shows where you are on the map so it is very easy just to take a quick look and realize which road you need to get on. In all honesty the amount of time i was not on the digitized road was 30 seconds or so. Most areas do not have new highways built but just extensions of existing roads to interest other existing roads.

95gt, thanks for your response regarding the Nav system.
 
Question, if I want to check my voice mail at work I have to dial the number, then enter my extension and then a code. Can this be done in the TL using bluetooth feature without pushing buttons?

I would think since the system is still using your phone you should be able to program that into your phone. Most phones have a delay you can put in when you put a number in your phone. This delay can be used to pause then enter a code after the pause. I would think that would work for your system.
 
I have no idea if you can dial more numbers once you have completed a call.

Annoying disclaimer every time I start the car by mdhauke

How do I get the NAV system to stop showing that annoying screen every time I start the car when I don't even want to use the NAV any way. I mostly use the screen for the Audio display. Is there any way to change the setting so when I start the car it automatically goes to the Audio screen and we only see that annoying disclaimer when we want to go to the NAV system?

You are stuck with it. Seems to have spread to almost all the car makers now. At least acura still lets you use it while you drive. If that goes i would seriously reconsider a nav system.

Cause for concern? by bodble2

I found out even the extended warranty would not cover the Navi system beyond the factory 3-year coverage (in Canada). Is it the same for US? I'd hate to think how much it would cost to fix outside warranty period.
 
Hopefully, if it is anything like computers, in 3 years' time a new unit would cost only $500 and you can simply yank out the old one and put in a new one.

I use a Sony Ericson T616 through Rogers. It works very well. I connected the phone to the car in less than 5 minutes and get a full display.
