#3 of 119 TL Skipping DVD songs problem by bearavhistory Sep 17, 2006 (10:37 am)
I was able to burn a few DVD's for the car that it recognizes & plays very well from a sound quality point of view.   Problem is a few of the songs will play for 15-20 seconds the skip all by itself to the next track.   Any ideas on what the problem is. The DVD's are write once -R.

Replying to: cancel99 (Sep 29, 2006 6:30 am) Hi Lori   I couldn't watch your post go one whole week without a reply, so I'll jump in. I can't say 100% for sure, but I believe the stereo from the Type-S will work. I've dug up all the dirt I can find, and the wiring harnesses are the same for both models, and both also include steering wheel functions.   The only thing that may cause the 2 stereo harnesses to be slightly different is if the Type-S was a Nav model. Like I said, I don't know for sure, but if it was me making the judgment call, I'd buy the stereo.   I think it will fit perfectly.   Hope this helps! Let us know.
#7 of 119 Best Connection: MP3 (Not iPod!) to 2004 TL Stereo by x4910ll Oct 19, 2006 (1:03 pm)
I've called two local dealers & a few custom shops; am disapointed at how few options there are. Am using a Sony cassette to mp3 adaptor now, it does not produce very good sound quality.   Key questions: 1.) Do you know what connections are available on the back of a 2004 TL stereo unit? For example, are there RCAs I can plug into? Are there aux inputs for other devices I can tap into to connect an mp3   2.) What is the best way to connect an mp3 player (mini jack output) to a stock 2004 TL stereo? Provide a specific URL or product name please. Replies to this message: carpadium (Nov 28, 2006 12:18 pm)

Replying to: x4910ll (Oct 19, 2006 1:03 pm) As soon as I bought my '03 TL, I drove it to a custom stereo shop. I am window shopping at this point, but got some good info. This is an owner operated shop and the guy knew his stuff (I think.) He said the stock unit does not have RCA-In jacks.   I told him how much I liked my friend's Mark Levinson system in his new '06 IS 350 and that I had seen a Pioneer stereo system with nav built-in that I liked at Crutchfield or J&R. He recommended one of the AVIC units, an amp and Boston Acoustic speakers (I like classic rock/blues mostly)   He gave me the brochures from Pioneer and BA. It turns out that the (N1?) system has about every feature you can imagine including integrated mp3 player functionality, bluetooth, XM or Sirius ready and an optional rear camera that kicks in when the vehicle is placed into reverse (just like the new Lexus). The head unit alone is $1500 and then I would be adding speakers, woofer, and amp. I am assuming he covers his labor by charging full retail. It seems funny to spend $3k on the sound/nav system for a car that cost me $16k, but if after taxes, extended warranty, etc, I can be out of pocket, say $23.5k and have a car I actually like better than the IS 350 (more roomy), saving myself about 50% off what he paid, I'm a happy camper.   For the record, Pioneer makes another Double DIN head unit that plays mp3s that costs less without the nav. If I was looking to save $$, that would probably be the option I would choose.
#9 of 119 Sirius on TL with Navigation by rekonn Nov 28, 2006 (12:50 pm)
I have a 2006 TL with Nav, and will probably not renew my XM once the trial period ends. Has anyone tried to replace their built in XM radio with Sirius? Is it possible? Replies to this message: mandeson (Nov 28, 2006 7:48 pm) rekonn (Nov 30, 2006 3:05 pm)

Replying to: rekonn (Nov 28, 2006 12:50 pm) Unfortunately you cannot replace the built-in XM with Sirius. You do however have other options like using a PnP Sirius radio. Go to the link below and do a search for Acura. You'll get a much better idea of what your options are. http://www.siriusbackstage.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=41d00e744a68fb68eb96e9e8- a4d32448&f=13 Replies to this message: rekonn (Nov 30, 2006 3:05 pm)
