new owner of a 02 tl s

Yo so i am in the process of buying a 2002 acura tl s.

If these questions seem dumb, im not a car guy by any means, so bear with me. First off, can the car take regular gasoline and still run alright?
2) are there any direct connect ipod interfaces that allow you to control the volume and tracks with the radio controls? Keep in mind this has the navi system and premium sound.
3) What are the best ways to keep leather seats in prime condition to avoid cracking and drying over time and use?

thanks yo
aric

leather conditioner. lots of products for that, but get a conditioner, not a cleaner/polish, for the ipod we dont have a connection gotta buy an external connection.

the car can take regular, but u lose performance and mileage, plus by using it to much i bet u risk damaging ur o2 sensor, and its pretty expensive, since we got two, front and rear.

ok so what do you suggest, mid grade or the highest octane one? I'm assuming that it all evens out with gas mileage vs gas price?

I noticed the car has a tape deck so i can just use a tape adapter for the ipod, no biggie.

yes stick with premium.

There are adapters that plug into the back of the Headunit that allow you to plug the ipod into it. Blitzsafe is the adapter to look for

would you be able to point me in the right direction of that device. Also will this disable the navigation or 6 disc changer when in use?

thanks
