Any news on the '08 TSX model?

timd38

I have an 08. Just like an 07, only difference is the CD player plays MP3s and the price went up $100.00

Ok...timeout....I thought we just confirmed in another thread that the 08 does not play a MP3 cd? https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39695

I tested an '08 on two occasions and it was a no-go for mp3 CD playback.

timd38

The sales brochure says it does. I will try it this evening.

jaehshim

i don't think it will work.
if it does, show me i wanna buy a headunit...lol i'm in ann arbor

psychmon

Thanks!

timd38

The sales brochure clearly says it plays MP3's it doesn't. I guess I will be calling the dealer.

When it doesn't work tell them you want your money back because that's why you bought the car!!

timd38

OK, tried another MP3 disk and it plays fine. So it was the first CD that I put in that was bad.

MP3's do work.

Can yo tell me the software that you used, the brand CD-R , and any special settings etc. I'd appreciate it. That's great news!

i too would like to know these details

Its about time! I bought the optional mp3 player for my 06. Nice to know Acura finally stepped up to the plate.

I used MAGIX MP3 Maker version 10. I used cheap, free after rebate Hi-Val 700MB CD disks.

Ya know, that with the MP3 jack in the center counsel and a 60 gig iPOD, I don't really need to burn CDs for this car.

psychmon

Thanks for the info, one last question, if you have the NAVI what showed up on the display?

mltk53

as much as i wanna believe you... uhh i just simply find it hard to believe after sooo many failed attempts. how about a picture of the hu playing the mp3 cd? and your talkin about the 6 cd in-dash one right? not the add-on one below the main unit right?? and how many songs can u play from your "mp3" cd?

timd38

In dash 6 disk no Nav.

Too cheap to buy Nav...........

psychmon

For '08 owners, any mention of mp3 cd capability in the owners manual?

wclark

ok so '08 wasn't the revamped TSX model, is that gonna be the '09 version? I heard about a possible turbo. I have an '04 navi and want to know when it'll be worth it to upgrade.

LuvMyTSX

Yes, do a search.

slammers

What does it display on the headunit when playing a mp3 cd? Song titles?

wackura

A pic of mp3 CD readout would be awesome. Let all of us have-nots get a taste of what we're missing out on.

mltk53

i wouldnt put my money on the 1st year release of the 2nd gen. wait for at least the 2nd year

wclark

yeah you do have a point, the 2nd year would most likely be more refined

LuvMyTSX

That is exactly what I plan to do. No more 1st year models for me!

wclark

I have the '04 tsx and haven't had any problems except for headlight condensation, but then again that messed up my bulb and I had to pay like 150 for a new one and get the condensation repaired

LuvMyTSX

Lucky you, I've had that plus the A/C went out and the lights around the stereo went out. They put the new circuit board in to fix the lights, but then then stereo and CD player didn't work and had to order another replacement board. Later model years have not had these problems, so this will be my last first year model.

Tsx6363

lol i think because later models haven't had enough time to have these problems... just wait till 08-09 and double check.. it might just be an all around problem..

timd38

Here's the deal.

First year model, test driver
Second year, fix problems from first year
Third year, take cost out and fix rest of problems
Fourth year, take cost out and start fixing cost reductions from year 3.
Fifth year, take cost out and continue fixing cost reductions from year 3 and 4
Sixth year, use up leftover parts.......
