a brand new radio from acura is around $700-$800, your best bet is to wait for a person thats parting out his or her car.

You can sometimes find them on eBay. Be careful not to buy a CL radio. Some eBay sellers claim that a CL radio will work in a TL but it won't.

The Acurazine Black Market "Private Sales" forum is worth checking:

https://acurazine.com/forums/non-automotive-motorcycle-sales-9/

And Car-Part.com is a great seach engine for hundreds of salvage yards across the US.

http://car-part.com/

I've used that several times with great results.

Finally, another option to consider is the purchase of an MP3/iPod adapter such as a Blitzsafe unit. You might find that once you have an MP3 player hooked up that you don't have a need to play burned CDs.

That's what happened in my case. I installed an 02-03 TL radio in my 1999 TL and it plays burned CDs without a problem. That worked out great. But I installed a Blitzsafe adapted at the same time and I find that I use my iPod nearly all the time. I can't even remember the last time I played a burned CD.

In retrospect, I could have kept my original radio and hooked up a Blitzsafe unit to it and I would have been set.

Good luck on whatever you decide to do.

That is WRONG!! The stereos on the CLs and TLs are different. You cannot use a CL stereo in a TL. The connections are different. The stereo MUST be from a TL. Anybody who tells you different is an idiot!

I have a question about the Blitzsafe ipod adapter. Does Blitzsafe allow you to search through your music files from the CD Player/Steering Wheel buttons AND the IPOD itself? If so, is it an easy install and where did you buy it? Thanks

I am sure you can skip forward/backward from the steering wheel and you can search your file via the ipod button. I just ordered one from here:

http://enfigcarstereo.com/shopsite_s..._MLINK1_1.html

I email them my order number right after I placed my order. They replied within 15 minutes and inform me that my package has been packed and ready to ship. I got the tracking number within 2 hours.

While your particular TL head unit might play burned CDs without a problem, that is not the case with all of them. There are unit to unit variations and some simply will not play burned CDs. Other units will play some but not others.

Changing the type of blank CD-R and the burning strategy might help but this doesn't work for everyone.

The original radio in my 1999 TL would struggle with burned CDs but the 2002-2003 TL radio I installed has no problems with them.

This has been one of the most discussed topics on these forums.

just installed the Blitzsafe. Works great.

while installing the Blitzsafe, I also added the tweeters. Sounds much better.
