Can someone point me to the thread about new features found after getting your new TL. It is packed full of information, and I've tried numerous searches to locate the thread to no avail.

Also, if anyone has a link to a post that details the Navigation Setup menu that allows the addition of the Information screen and other mods, could you point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Should have expanded the search beyond "Third Generation"........thanks for the help.

 

Ok. Here's one I learned from an MDX owner. Press and hold the Map/Guide button. While holding it, press and hold both Menu and Cancel. Hold all three in for about 3 seconds, and the Nav diagnostic menu comes on. From here, you can see all sorts of interesting info, as well as set up some things you probably should not fool with.

For example, under GPS Navigation, you can see in real time which satellites you are tracking. Here in the Northeast, I generally used 5 simultaneously, but have had as many as 8. It looks like there is room for 12 as advertised, but I can't see 12 at a time here. Probably better down south.

You can reset your microphone level to how you talk. I did that by accident, but I think it works better now anyway. You can calibrate for new different radius tires (I didn't even want to press that button), as well as see the status of many of the cars other systems that are tied in to the nav computer and otherwise.

Then there is a trip computer of sorts, that somehow provides the data to the main trip computer. I haven't yet figured out all the codes. Part of the problem is that it measures in metric. I think it measures your speed in, believe it or not, millimeters per second. Need to play more though. Looks like you can also use this screen to save a log to a PC card (the slot is on the unit in the trunk). I don't know what data is saved, but maybe you can use it to track where your kids actually bring the car .

My guess is, if you mess something up with this screen, you will not be covered under warranty, so play at your own risk! My friend said that some info is saved here also that will help them diagnose a problem, which can be erased if you are not careful. Someone needs to get hold of a service manual so we can see what everything is here.

 

Vtecne can please explain how to reset the mic level. Does it affect the mic level just for the voice command or for the HFL as well?

 

I think it's just the Nav. I reset mine as well and noticed an improvement in the Navi but the HFL still hasn't improved.

 

It will reset all. Our car only has 1 mic shared.
