Could someone tell me what the difference is btwn the navigation system of the 05 TSX vs the 06. I know it says it'll have more features such as some sorta restaurant guide, also better navigation, etc. But I would like some more detail in regards to what the 05 has right now. Does the 05 have destination points meaning rest stops, gas stations, etc. Also is the 3D ramp thing that big of a thing. Debating if it is worth getting nav and if i do decide if i should wait for an 06.
Thanks

 

1- Don't let the Nav changes alone make the decision for the 05 or 06 debate.
2- I'll save you a ton of responses and searching/researching time with one sentence: If you can afford the Nav, get it, it is worth every penny.

 

Are you debating between a 2005 with nav versus a 2006 without? If that’s the case, go get an ’05. The nav system is very user friendly, and can display gas stations, ATMs/banks, restaurants, etc. You can set several destinations that can be routed in succession from each point, and you can store any personal addresses in the system’s hard drive. You also practically have the yellow pages at your disposal, and can look up any business that has been open for at least 2 years. In addition to the nav functions, the touch screen also displays your CD/radio presets and functions (i.e., select disc, random, repeat, etc.), your A/C controls (i.e., on/off, mode, fan speed), a trip computer that shows avg mpg, avg speed, avg time in car, etc. You have a calculator, a calendar/planner (although I’m not sure how many people actually use that), and others.

If you’re debating between a 2005 with nav and a 2006 with nav… well, that’s another discussion since there are some other upgrades outside of the nav. Purely on a comparison of nav system to nav system, I don’t think the upgrades are that substantial…. a slightly faster processor, the addition of the Zagat’s restaurant guide, and the integration of Acura’s Handsfree Link (bluetooth).

 

And iPod integration

 

Does anyone know if the 06 Accord w/ Nav will be the same as 06 TSX w/Nav.
In terms of integration does the A/C and ohter functions work through the Display for the Accord. Their site doesnt seem to have much info on it. Also does anyone know if it has bluetooth?

 

Big difference is that with the 06 TSX navi, you can input your destination address via voice instead of manually having to type it in.

 

Accord does not have bluetooth. Accord navi does not appear to have Zagat guide. Not sure about the other features.
