I am a new and happy owner of a 04 tl navi. Since I live in Toronto I had no choice but to get the CDN version of my car. The question is what are the differences between CDN version and US?

This is what I noticed so far:

1. The obvious miles vs km and F vs C, MPG vs l/km

2. We get driving lights, loose fog lights.
Are they the same bulbs after all? (9006) or are driving dimmer then fog?

3. No XM Radio. Does it mean that we have an extra audio input that could be used for dvd or iPod? If so there i no controls to use it.




Anything else?

 

Also you can go into the navi configuration and change it from Canada to US (map-menu-cancel for 5 seconds. You can go back and forth to try it out without a problem). You lose French and have the choice of male or female voice. The only problem is the voice control of the climate control still thinks centigrade although you talk to it in farenheit. Not really a problem but that is the only thing I could find that was a bit odd.

Also a bigger windshield washer bottle and low washer icon on dash.

 

Also, in previous years, the Canadian warranty was three years instead of the four in the States. Has that changed?

 

Don't know, I got the extended 6 years 100k miles for $CDN 2000

 

The warranty in Canada is 3 years not 4 as it is in the U.S.

For '04 the Canadian models had fewer colour combination choices. For example, you could not get the Redondo Red Pearl in the automatic version.

 

You must have zero deductible for that. My 6 year 100,000 km cost $1,191 with $25 deducible. If that isn't the case they must have made it up on everything else I ordered.

 

Yes zero deductible
