2005 Acura RL
I just bought a 2005 Acura RL with 26000 miles on it. I previously owned a TSX. I paid $31,400 for the car. I am glad I found this website because I have the same squeeky brake issue and now have an appointment to inquire about TSB05-021.

New Acura / new RL owner for 3 weeks!
Greetings all!
Totally new here..... totally new to ACURA!
I've always been a Honda Driver:
'95 - '98 drove a 4 cylinder '88 Accord LX
'98 - '08 (3 weeks ago!) drove a 6 cyl Accord EX..... which I loved,
But NOTHING I've ever DRIVEN, let alone anything I've ever owned compares to the:
- 2005 Acura RL
- Black ext /black interior
- 32K miles @ acquisition
.... that I started driving 3 weeks ago!!
I've always appreciated style/speed/sportiness over "stodgy-ness", if you follow me.... I like my vehicles "low to the ground", but not so low I bottom out, DESPISE SUVs & Trucks, like good pick-up & good hangling, etc.
And I ran a music distribution for many years, so I have over 1500 CDs & DO like an assortment of musical genres @ ear-challenging volumes.... So, stereo quality is important too.
But, I've been a Realtor for the last 11 years, so I need something presentable, etc...
And this vehicle has suited everything I need PERFECTLY... this is not only the slickest LOOKING car I've ever driven, but is just SMOOTH beyond belief. 80-90 is smoother than 60-65 was in my 95 Accord EX.
The stereo system rules.... Everything ABOUT the 2005 RL I've found rules.
Still, it DOES have it's quirks..... AND I feel I'm still "learning the car".
Which is why I'm here...
1 problem I'm experiencing now:
- back window on drivers side won't go down
Also (not that it's mega-important) but I can't get all the windows to open when holding down Unlock for a 2nd Time on the key-fob.
I've got 2 of these weird little black Teardrop thing that say "low battery" & have a red LCD on them that came w/ each of the 2 keyfobs. CarMax (place I got the RL) didn't know what they were. Acura didn't know what they were other than to say "They weren't made by Acura." AutoZone store didn't know what they were..... DO ANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW what they might be?
Finally, voice recognition is a CHALLENGE. I try to speak "accent free" & clearly, yet street name recognition is often hilariously confused by the Nav, as can different commands ("AC OFF", get interpreted as "AC ON", "FM 91.9", misinterpreted ax "XM Radio 1", etc.) Any tips on voice recognition enhancement?
Glad to be here. Thanks in advance for the help!

Welcome to the RL Family :p
Unlike you, I have never owned a Honda or an Acura. I've always owned American cars. I was tired of the problems and repairs. I wanted something new and exciting. Well my 2005 RL delivers that and more

Finally made the plunge. Have owned 3 TL's previously.
I traded it on a new '08 RL non-tech silver/taupe. I bought it in Jacksonville, Fl for just under 40K. I just made the purchase last night, but I absolutely love the way this car drives. Not quite as quick as my TL-S but I can't imagine any vehicle driving better.
I want to add some RonJohns & window tint and thats about the only mods I'm considering at this time.
