As far as I know, Acura DIDN'T make a 2006 TL Type S. 2007 was the first year in this body style. Previous TL type S was 2003.
Did you mean a 2007?

Ipod interface by nyarlathotep

Interested in hearing about the stereo/Ipod interface on the '08 TL. Pros & Cons.
Also, is there an aftermarket interface that lets you access the player through the stereo controls
Thanks for the help!

I have an 07 (can't imagine much changed) and use the iPod jack daily. All you need is a connector from the input jack to your iPod. You can get one a Best Buy for $4.99, no need to waste money on marketing for the more expensive ones. I bought one for $15 when I first got the TL, then just out of curiousity bought another the cheaper one to compare...no difference except price.
 
Acura has something that fits in the glove box, that allows you to use stereo controls. I think it's called Acuralink, but from what I was told from the dealership it doesn't work well. I was going to buy it but they said it caused a ton of problems. A friend of mine has the Harman Kardon set up in his BMW and loves it. Don't know how it works in the TL though. Most folks I know just use the input jack.
 
Hope this helps some...

I've read about this predicament here before. To my knowledge there is no "conversion kit". I have XM and Sirius in two different cars, personally I like XM better.

I just bought the 2008 TL-S, and I've been looking into ipod connectivity. If I can get complete connectivity through the existing head unit/nav screen, I would pay the money. But if it has to be some sort of hybrid solution, where I use the ipod to control it, the cost isn't worth it.
 
By the way, there are two concerns here: integration and sound quality. (Actually, three concerns if you include recharging the ipod, but I don't care about that.) If integration isn't all that important to you, you can get equal sound quality by buying this cable here: dock connector cable. It absolutely makes a difference in sound quality. Of course the aux jack is pretty good, much better than fm transmitters or cassette adaptors, but with a dock connector cable you are getting much better signal to noise ratio, and you control the volume completely through the radio (rather than the annoying adjustment of having to turn the volume all the way up on the ipod).
 
If you aren't as familiar with this, and you are looking for a less expensive way to get great sound, look into these cables. For $15, you get identical sound quality, and just have to charge and control the ipod from the ipod.

After doing more research, it looks like there isn't a perfect integration solution out there for us.
 
I think I'll just stick with my dock connector out to the aux port. Great sound, and controlling everything from the ipod itself is about as good, if not better, than trying to control it through the head unit.

Hi,
 
  I am having problems with the CD player getting CD's stuck in the player,
Is there any way to get them out without removing the entire radio system?
 
Thank You,
Dominic

Try disconnecting one of the battery terminals for several minutes. That might reset the radio. However you will need your radio code card. Might have to go to the dealer to get it. If it doesn't work then it needs to be repaired.
