Acura TL Navigation System Hints and Experiences

Re: Acura TL 2010 - Navigation System question [seadub]

Written by: taxesquire on Nov 30, 2009 10:59 AM

As someone else responded, it is easy to change from the view of north always being up to your direction always being up. Not sure if there is a 3D view. I like my 2004 TLs nav system much better than my Garmin Nuvi's (purchased in 2008). It is much easier to scroll along my route in the Acura, and much easier to preview the available routing options before locking one ... Read More...

The car is just as big as the RL, E350, Lexus GS 350 and 535- why aren't you complaining about the size of those cars.Acura stated a few months back in a news release that they are moving the TL up to the RL size and the TSX to the previous generation TL size.The RL will be competing with larger sedan when the next generation hits the showroom. Furthermore, the previous ... Read More...

Never allow the discussion of a trade-in to enter into an auto purchase discussion until you have settled on the price of the "new" car. What is the Blue Book trade-in value for your Accord? Is the dealer offering you more, less, or average for your trade-in? Assuming the dealer is offering you "average" trade-in value for your 2004 Accord, then the $22,510 doesn't ... Read More...

I solved my high-mount brake light problem, The solution was to replace the brake light switch, which is located on the brake pedal. The switch was less than $7.00, which I purchased thru Rock Auto. The switch is made by Airtex, part number is 1S5785. It was very easy to install - total was about 10 minutes. Bottom line - the switch went bad. (P.S. Acura dealer wanted ... Read More...

Mike: I have the exact same problem on my 2004 TL. When you press the brake, the high mount stop light in the rear window is dim, most of the time. If I start the car, ocassionally I can get it to go full brightness. I did a voltage check and when dim only 7 volts, when bright approx 13 volts. So I know the problem is not the light itself (all 16 LCDs work on bright - ocassionally). ... Read More...

'04 auto transmission problems query

Written by: terryp1 on Jun 25, 2009 03:32 PM

I'm considering the purchase of an '04 TL that is in great condition and at a very good price. I know that the "early" cars for that year had the a/t problem that led to a recall. But I don't know how to pinpoint the one I'm interested in. The CarFax report is great, listing lots of dealer service/maintenance. I even called the local dealer who sold/serviced it and spoke ...
