congrats on your 08! i got mine a little less than 2 months ago.
I just brought a Acura TL 2002. It has a navagation system, but is outdated. How can I change the CD? I know the CD is in the trunk, if I remove the CD will I have any problems when I reload it?
Can I get the steps on how to remove the navagation CD.
Also, which version should I get? Where can I get a new version without spending alot of money. If I get a new version of the CD, would I be able to copy it?
Thanks!

In another post you also mentioned that the DVD can be copied using a DL blank. How can one find out if a DVD from one car model will work on another (say from TL to Pilot). Also, if 4.6 is not good why give it to the dealers who in turn will give it to the customers? Thanks.
Turn on the Ignition but don't fully start the car.
You just eject the disc.
Carefully remove it and replace it with the new disc.
Close up the cover to the nav system if it has it and you're done mostly. It might go black then will be back to normal. Might want to turn on the car to force the system to install when done. It's very easy to update. Might not have to the restart step.
Also www.hondanavi.com and www.acuranavi.com have a list of the years and models. It tells you which is the right disc.
Since each car's navi has its own GUI what do you think would happen if the disk from 08 was put in the 06. Wouls that also update the menu and add the extra functions or just the map info will be updated. Any potential for corrupting the system? I think besides the version we need to specify what car it is for and maybe the DVD includes the car specific OS? Thanks again.
Instead, try hiting the "max brightness" button - it's below the speedometer, to the left or right. It will override the night mode. It's very useful if you have your headlights on during the day, due to rain or fog or whatever, but you have to remember to hit the button again to get it back to night mode.
[just rechecked and saw the other answers to this question - guess Ineed to check in more often!]
Thanks,Kevin
Is it a coincidence that two people have a cracked screen, or is this an issue I'm not aware of.
No cracks in our MDX yet, thankfully.

ROFL.... If that's true, shouldn't you already know ?!?!?!?!
did you ever find out how you can get the climate function displayed on the nav screen? i'm still trying to figure out my new tl as well. any information would be greatly appreciated.
When I try to make a phone call with my paired phone I don't get a ringtone. In addition, the connection seems to slightly lag. I call through my phone, then transfer it to the HFL. Why don't I get a ringtone when I'm connected to the HFL? Please advise. Thanks!!!
Does anybody know how to get the XM NavTraffic on my 06 MDX.
I Subscribed to it but it seems it does not support this.
If i buy the new 4.7 disc will it work?
Both Acura & XM didnt know what to tell me Thanks
Unless the volume is turned low in the car (you conrol the volume of the telephone by using the volume dial on the radio) so as to prevent you from hearing the dialtone, it sounds like there is something wrong.
If you're going to take the car in for this, try placing a call directly through the HFL to see if you have the same problem - it might help them isolate the problem.
I had to get my module replaced - it didn't take long and it was under warranty at the time (when my car was 2 years old)
That's not something you mentioned before!!! When I call from my handset, I need to wait until it starts ringing in the handset before giving the transfer command. If I give the command too early, it says "no call in progress"
If the same problem happens when you transfer the call after the handset starts ringing, then I'm stumped and think you should bring your car in.
thanks

http://www.acuranavi.com has what you are looking for. Pretty easy to upgrade.
Thanks

Also, the Navigation voice doesn't work. I've gone thru the manual and set everything that seems relevant. I notice that music gets muted and am assuming that the silence should be the Navigation voice. Do I need some software disc or something to get this working? I've never had a factory Navigation system before and am pretty ignorant.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
I think you can adjust the time on the nav unit. Go through the different screen setting and I think 1 is time and time zone. I had to change mine when daylight savings came early.
As for voice, 1st try this, when you think the system should be speaking to you (and on mine there is a "voice" button in the lower left of the screen to get it to speak), turn the radio volume dial to the right (turning upt he volume). If that doesn't work, work your way through the screens to see if there is a voice or volume setting.
My 2007 TL nav definitely doesn't have this function. Or at least, I don't know how to use it. Is this is a new feature on the 2008 Acuras with nav? I am very curious if this is just a 2008 feature or if my '07 has the capabilities of accessing this information as well. Quite handy, I'll admit.
Thanks for your input!
Do I need to load a CD for my TL model and year? I didn't read anything about this in the manual. Also, my small clock doesn't match the Navigation clock setting. The manual says that I can't adjust the small clock manually if I have the Navigation system option. I'm guessing that both these problems are related somehow.
I guess my last resort is to take it to an Acura dealership. I don't even want to think how much this could cost.
Anyway, I appreciate your response. Thanks again.

:confuse: If you were able to find the volume control within the nav menu, and that didn't fix the problem, chances are there's a problem with your nav unit or the speaker.
You might be able to tell if you give the car a voice command (like "radio 97.9" or "temperature 70 degrees") - the care repeats the command back. If you don't here anything, then it's probably a speaker issue.
Hopefully it's still under warranty, but I don't know for sure. Good luck.
Does the 4.70 work in an 08 TL?
Then just yesterday, the navi system won't "boot". I get the starting screen ("sun over the earth"), but it won't advance to the next screen. I pulled out the orange disk and checked it (no problems), but it still won't work. Suggestions?
Also, since I have the orange disk, is there any other disks I could upgrade to to get newer information? What would be a reasonable cost to pay for an upgrade?
Thanks.
