Question Difference between '02 & '03?

Ive noticed that on alot of performance sites for the tl, they specify that the accesories apply to 1999-2002 TLs. Is their a difference between the 2002 and 2003 TL?

The only difference I know is 03 has on-star, 02 doesn't.

No other major difference.

Two more differences:

1. '03's have a little, black antennae on the roof...
2. I own an '02!

Later,

V.

Most of the times, it's because they havne't updated their database.

The little black antenna is the Onstar antenna. The 2002 TL does not have the little black antenna. The 2003 TL also has the supposedly fixed transmission... I have the 2003 TL which is not included in the extended transmission warranty campaign and currently, my car has 9500 miles and is still knocking on Acura's faux wood... Also, the 2003 TL-S gain perforated leather door inserts while the 2002 TL-S has pleated leather door inserts. Desert Mist replaces Naples Gold and Ruby Red replaces Rodondo Red.

The only difference between '02 and '03 models:

1. OnStar now included with navi option. Those cars with navi get the rubber nub antenna on the rear roof. Cars with no navi get no antenna.

2. Anthracite Grey color now an option on '03 TL-S model
