#826 of 865 RL Dash board disassembly by wkercher Aug 23, 2007 (2:18 pm)
I own a 2005 RL -- and just purchased from Dice Electronics an I-Pod connector along with the digital FM component to attach to the existing radio. I will need to take apart the dash to get to the radio. Do any of you know where I could get instructions to do the disassembly? It would sure help to have this as oppose to doing it by trail and error. Thanks in advance for any help on this. Warren

Replying to: hercules05 (Aug 23, 2007 8:16 am) I would definitely go with the 06. The 05 was the first year and there were a number of electrical, sensor, and brake pad issues that were fixed with the 06. There were TSB's for most 05 issues so you can find one that will be fine, however, I never could get all the bugs fixed on mine and worked out a deal with an Acura dealer to trade for an 06.
#828 of 865 Re: Re 02RL Creaking Front End [ticker2] by niclio5 Sep 23, 2007 (3:19 pm)
Replying to: ticker2 (May 24, 2007 9:19 am) My '01 started to get noisy and creaky when slowing and turning sharply into and out of my sloped driveway or when traveling at slow speeds over speed bumps. I suspect the car also made noise at higher speeds under certain conditions, though road noise probably drowned out the creaking/groaning. I brought the car to my independent mechanic (a trusted source who is always my first pass diagnostician) who looked at it and diagnosed a bad wheel bearing. At the time the car was still covered under the Acura Certified Used warranty, so off I went to the Acura dealer who replaced the wheel bearings on both sides up front free of charge to me.
#829 of 865 anyone with high mileage on 05 or 06 RL? by carcrazy37 Oct 02, 2007 (6:07 pm)
Not sure if anyone with an '05 RL could have put over 40K miles yet. Really wondering how the AWD mechanism will hold up after warranty. Also probably too early to tell how the electronic gizmos will hold up over the years (for those who want to buy and keep a car at least 5-7 yrs). Anyone with major mechanical problems (not including lemons)? Replies to this message: kanghagas (Oct 16, 2007 4:16 pm) bc2005rl (Dec 15, 2007 1:35 pm) blloyd (Mar 05, 2009 4:46 am)

Replying to: carcrazy37 (Oct 02, 2007 6:07 pm) None...from 2005 RL with 44,000 mi since late Sept 2005. Just got back last two weeks from Washington DC round trip to Blue Ridge, GA via a weeklong Charlotte NC, Charleston SC, Savannah GA, Atlanta GA and back. And this past two days, round trip to Kykuit Rockefeller Estate in Tarrytown NY via Brooklyn. Average hi-way mileage 26 with four people plus baggages and 27 with three without baggage respectively.

Replying to: carcrazy37 (Oct 02, 2007 6:07 pm) I have 43,000 miles on my 2005 RL and I was wondering whether to get an extended warranty because of all the gizmos and gadgets. I haven't had any issues as of yet. Have you heard any compelling information for or against an extended warranty?
#833 of 865 06 acural rl remote start? by r79207 Jan 05, 2008 (9:18 am)
has anyone installed an after market remote starter on their acural rl? I was considering it and wanted to know if it works well? acura dealer referred me to a place that will do it for $299. I assume i need to give up one of the keys. also does acura offer a valet key? i only received 2 keys when i bought the car and they were both with a remote. tony
#834 of 865 97 RL Questions by sagrenn Jan 09, 2008 (8:58 am)
I've got a 97 RL w/ 180K miles on it. I am the original owner and have never had any real problems. Since my cost of ownership is minimal, I will probably drive it into the ground. The car looks like it only has 60K on it.   Has anybody had problems with the power window motors/lifts breaking? I've replaced 3 window motors in the last 3 years.   Thanks.
