Brampton here. Black 05 TL w/ Navi. But haven't done anything to it yet as I've only had it for about 2 months.

You'll find a lot of Toronto TL owners in the forums.

Wow!

Out of curiosity, may I ask how you were able to afford an 07 WDP / Navi TL at the age of 16?

Perhaps you have some amazing job while you're in school?
Or did your parents buy it?

No disrespect intended.. Just that when I was 16 I just got my license and was driving my dad's car (whenever i was given permission to) which was a car made in the year 198x.

Not raggin on you but I guess you are one of the lucky and privileged ones to enjoy such a great ride starting at 16. Your friends must be envious.

well i am in the automotive business (licenced mechanic) and i also buy rebuildable cars.. and i have yet to even see a 07 TLS for under $25,000 below that is un repairable. and even a 5 month old car @$60,000 car to be sold at$25,000 would still need at least $10,000-$15,000 of work.. so i still find it hard to believe.

Another Brampton guy here with a bone stock silver 06 TL AT. The only mod I am considering right now is the A-Spec suspension (I don't want the A-Spec rims, brakes, steering wheel & body kit - just the suspension.)

Has anyone in the GTA bought just the suspension locally? If so, where and how much?

How is the ipod connection....... can you use the steering wheel function. Is it CD Quality? and can you change the tracks and volume by just using the ipod by itself.

Ipod connection is great ! I can skip track and change volume on the steering wheel. You can only change track on the ipod itself, the audio coming out of the ipod is a line out, so the deck controls the volume.

This work out better cause you don't have to fiddle with 2 volume control.

Hope that helps.

Did you get the MT or AT suspension? My car is an AT, but I'm thinking I'll just buy a MT suspension as it appears that it will work just as well and they are cheaper and more common.

My car is an AT but I got the MT suspension. No problem with the installation at all and the ride is WAY better. Roll and squatting is reduced by alot with the suspension. Rear sway bar helped too.

I have it also. Its great. I ordered it from http://www.ipodforautos.ca/.

However it seems like I got a bum unit. It keeps disconnecting and ejecting my ipod. I think its either a connection in the box or in the wire. I hope its the box as I don't want to have to pull everything apart to take out the wire again.

Unfortunately I will have to ship it back to the states to get any sort of replacement.

When it does work though its a perfect setup and the sound quality is great. I have 5 playlists setup for it, hiphop/reggae/dancehall/soca and podcasts. You can easily switch between any of them.

So the quality is real good? i am disappointed with FM transmitters. I'm hoping for soemthing near CD quality..even 80% cd quality would be great.

Way better than an FM Transmitter. Near CD quality. Probably can't even tell a difference really. Its basically plugging the ipod directly into your system.

But for the volume, Does it play louder then the normal stero or just the same. Sometimes when you hook up audio to the car you loose the volume.
