I just looked out my window.
I think I saw a PIG fly by followed by some Pink Elephants.
And Satan just bought a SNOW BLOWER.

You can order online from here as well:

https://ecominet2.alpine-usa.com/pls...r?p_make=Acura

For the CL, it is version 2.11b

Also, anyone know how old 2.05b is? That is what is in my '03 CL-S and I was wondering if the data is 1 year, 2 years or 3 years old.

I would NEVER do this.
But against my better judgment my evil twin (who can be reached at shawnsef@ptd.net ) has been know to do such things.

The new upgrade disc is available to be pre-ordered. We anticipate the disc will be ship the week of November 17, 2003. Your credit card will not be billed until the order actually ships. If you wish to pre-order the disc please minimize this window .
Like Shawn said, I'll beleive it when I see it. I'm not ordering until I hear that it really exists.

It would be nice if the FAQ/Coverage stated how many POI upgrades there are. For me, these are more important then the current maps which already have pretty good coverage for my area.

I know that I'll buy it, but $185 + $6 s/h seems quite expensive for what ultimately is only a digital map and phonebook. Sheesh.

I always like to have a back-up copy. It could be called a high discount group buy.

I made a copy of my current DVD and I will try it out tomorrow.
No errors and it looks like an exact duplicate.

Oh………..BTW

Take it with a grain of salt, but the guy said it has SEVEN MILLION points of interest and is the same database the new TSX & TL use.
Different system obviously, but it’s supposed to be the same road database.

Looks like this is “the one”.

From the Acura site on the new TL............

The 2004 TL is available with the Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition™, so you can find your way with a few keystrokes or a quick voice command. A large 8-inch flat screen features user-friendly controls and draws on a 48-state database to provide more than seven million points of interest.

some body should just make a Bit torrent file of it, we would have plenty of seeders between all of us and the TL members.




somebody should probably sticky this thread too. This is pretty worthy news

You know, I just went ahead and ordered mine too. I was thinking of waiting, but then thought that if I do I may have to wait for more DVDs to be produced and released. Who knows, the way the update has been going they may have only made 3 copies.

Anyway, since they won't charge your card until it's shipped, there's really nothing to lose (except $185+$6 s/h).

Achance... your idea's good, but not all of us have DVD burners, although a burner at this point is cheaper than this one DVD (oh, the value).

hey, kinda dumb question here, but does the upgrade (i've got the 01 dvd :o ) have a different layout? i mean, the display, with the buttons, how the icons are and all that (not very good at explaining here...) but, is the "OS" different with an upgrade?

Looked at the Coverage Area for NJ, didn't add enough to make me buy it from them.

To many areas that I drive are unmapped and not listed on the new coverage from the site.

If you’re talking about the info on the Acura.com website that info is for the OLD 2001 DVD.
I haven’t seen an actual listing for the new one.

If you have, please share.
