A/C, Nav, tape deck, XM, CD player.

Healingduck

As you can see, adding the tape deck was a great idea by Acura.

Tape deck, sun glasses holder, cruise control.

I've used just about every feature, even heated mirrors and tape deck (only a few times). The exception is HFL. Never used that yet. Set up the phone the day I bought the car and haven't touched it since.

duckedtapedemon

Yeah, seriously.

My parents had a 2002 Odyssey that they ADDED a tape player to.

That and the fact that most car makers put HDDs instead of solid state drives in vehicles makes me wonder if they are ignorant towards technology.

Because SSD are expensive when compared to HHD

caseyjones

I have never used the tape deck. Don't use HFL. Other than that I pretty much use everything.

And where is this sunglasses holder you all speak of?

Redlantrn

One option (or rather feature) I don't use is the swing open map pocket thing in the door panels. Fawkers open by themselves when door slams shut.

I use every feature on the TL-- HFL daily, tape player once a month, mirror heaters when moisture fogs them on cold mornings-- during the year enough to justify them, except the SportShift, which is used no more than 6 times a year.

McCollins23

I listen to Milli Vanilli in my tape deck every day


I never use the tilt mirror feature, or the HFL (too much work).

wall e

for those of u that dont us HFL: why? do u have a bluetooth headset or you just putting the phone on speakerphone??? or do u simply not talk when driving? HFL is such a useful feature

Never use cruise control or the cassete player.

Pat04TL

I've used the pass-through back seat like twice in 8 yrs. A true fold down rear seat would have been much more useful.

Nukem

Used everything but the Cassette player. The heated mirrors I only use when they are iced over and for a short period of time cause I heard the mirror can get burn marks if you leave them on too long.

I never use the unlock button to open all of the windows and sunroof.

subinf

^ - I have, only on accident though

tl_rox

Calculator, calendar and zagat rating in our Navi's.
Pass through in the back seat.
Sunglass Holder.
HomeLink.
AM/FM stations. (I use XM channel quite a bit)
Dead pedal (foot rest).
Tiptronic and L gear.

Azndjay

my spare tire ..

mY sLOW UA6

Ya me too lol, I was cleaning my wheels bending down and hit it on accident and thats how i found out about the feature.

LaCostaRacer

1. Spare tire / jack
2. road side assistance
3. cruise control
4. fog lights
5. glove box lock

o666los

Steering wheel, brakes and keys

I never use this. I always forget the TL has one.

dontTL'em'nothing

iTrader: (3)

incompatability issues is the main reason i dont use it.

lol figures. i should have know thats a given up there.

P1zzaman

iTrader: (1)

heated mirror, tape player and any other feature that I don't know about

But they are not unaffordable. And in this case cost is irrelevant twords functionality. Anyone who understands how volatile an HDD is would realise putting it on a car, an object constantly shaking and jolting, is a bad idea.

flyromeo3

homelink system..

Steven Bell

Should have made a poll. I bet tape deck would win by a landslide.

UA6~RBP

Agreed. I doubt people use for its intended purpose... Most (if not the majority) just use it for an AUX adapter

fraiolim07

VSA; screw those front tires, don't like 'em anyway

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

I use the Bluetooth, Homelink, Voice command, Window Locks, Locking glove box, Cassette as an Aux.. sometimes, and heating stuff because of Boston..

but there is something that I never used since 6 years.
The trunk lock in the glove box.

Has anyone?

Azndjay

homelink is the shitz. it beats those ugly openers

Steven Bell

You know, I'm reading through this thread and seeing what you guys DON'T use (ie: HFL, Nav commands, etc...).

If you're not using this stuff, you're not maximizing the TL experience!


Hell, even though I'm a disc jockey here in Kansas City, I still got XM-I wanted everything that the car had to work.

94eg!

That reminds me.... I don't use XM either.

I maximize my TL experience through actual DRIVING!

Yeah I'm sure these car engineers don't know crap about technology

It's cost, if you're building thousands of cars and lets say a 10gb HDD cost 3 bucks a car vs a 10GB SSD which cost 6 bucks a car. Guess which one they're going to use?

LaCostaRacer

I find the homelink system a must have- use it everyday at home for button #1, have my rental home's garage door programmed for button #2 and my parent's gate programmed for button #3 when we visit them. I'm thankful there are even 3 buttons for this instead of 2.

dontTL'em'nothing

iTrader: (3)

cost plays a big role yes, now you got to remember starting in 2004 SSD werent even around yet to the public. When they were first being sold, for just 10gbs cost was probably around $300 or so. Dont quote me on those exact prices but im sure im close.

Back on topic, i actually dont use the cigarette lighter in the arm rest compartment thinking about it i dont use either one(nonsmoker) and sliding lid of the armrest.

BlueAquarian

Seat Warmer and mirrors, sunglass holder, back seat, cruise control (live in Atl go figure), tape deck,whatever that M stands for on the shift gear, the pullouts behind the front seats..etc..lol
