Hey fellas,

Just wanted to introduce my self and my new ride.

Name: Peter
Location: PR
Car:2005 Acura RL , Black Interior 62,+ miles.


Bought it Tuesday for 11,000 at a Honda Dealer (it was traded). From what I've notice the previous owner took pretty good care of it.

Let me know what you think.

Note:

Really like the site... lots of info.

******************

First Mod:

Headlight restoration with the 3M Kit.






















Sorry for the bad pics (CP Shots)

Btw.. No Nav.. Only shows the compass screen... Call the local service center and they stated that a new Map Disc wont work.

Since i don't have the maps or xm option will the USAPEC Aux kit work?

Hmmm. All 2005-2006 models have navigation.

Love the RL, looks good.

Never mind, just took a closer look and realized you're in Puerto Rico. They might not have maps for that area.

We don't have much information about the head unit harness. I know the Nav harness in the trunk is 20 or 32 pin depending on the year. The service manual will surely say how many pins. It is in the Garage (second thread in the forum, "sticky").

Cheers to a new ride.

Cool! Congratulations and welcome.

TonyCD

Sweet. Congratulations!

By the way, you have one of the most durable paint colors, and it's less susceptible to rock chips too.

JAMROCK863

wow thats crazy i just got the very same car in march sme color same interior samr year the onlything different is i have the molded mud flaps witch i must say sets it off but yea man congrats hit mi up maybe we could swap ideas

TonyCD

BTW, that headlight maintenance not only looks much newer and better, it will tremendously improve your headlight range and therefore your night driving safety. I don't understand why everybody with this problem doesn't fix it, even those with less brag-worthy crs than yours. Smart move all the way around.

oo7spy

Are those chips in the chrome molding, or a reflection?

BuLtL00

Watch out for those holes on the roads,they are everywhere in PR..Parkings are small and hard to find,lots of door dings and cart scrapes.Trust me i know...

Hey thanks for for the comments/advise...

Update/help needed...

Went into the diagnostic menu (cancel/map/guide/menu) i get gps signal (multiple sats). Im located in puerto rico. Installed/downloaded my disc and now i get the navigation warning when i turn the switch but still end up getting compass screen only. I did read that swaping the dvd unit with one from a gech pkg fixes this.


I have to change the dvd unit or should i try a new disc ver. Im on 4.12

X PT X

Chips...

ON my to do list...

X PT X

Jajajaj wow... weird / cool thing !

X PT X

Got the idea from an RL video on You Tube...

New DVD unit in the trunk. Follow the thread you found in electronics.

FYI, if you click the button next to "Quote" (the page with a green dot in bottom right) and then click "Quote" on the last post you want to quote, you can quote multiple posts in one.

Once again... thank you very much for the quick answer.
