New '05 TL Owner

Hey guys,

Just got a new daily driver. 05 Tl w/Navi.
Car drives really smooth and let's pray for no issues!

Don't have much plans as it will be my daily but:

Tints
Suspension of some sort
Wheels.

I have been lurking the forum reading some things out! I just wish it had an AUX input so I could play music off my Iphone.

Here is a quick picture next to my evo & bike.

Honestly, is there a way to hook up an aux on the 04-06s? I hear the 07-08s came with an AUX port.

Playing music off my iphone without static noises would be amazing!

you would have to use a third party device.
there are several that hooks up to the back of the radio.
for an iphone or ipod, I believe the iSimple would be the go to option.
I believe it charges as well as displays the song title on the "radio screen above the nav"

The TL has 3 mufflers, 3 Cats, and a hefty resonator. Most of us have at least removed the mid-muffler to give the car an exhaust note.

If that isn't loud enough for your taste, get a dynomax resonator (Stage 3, use the googles) to add some sexy tone.

Welcome to the money pit!

I just bought an 05, and I was surprised it didn't have an AUX port. I HAVE to have my iPhone music, so a simple fix was a tape that has an aux cord. Sold at basically all radio shack type places.

I know the lack of the Aux is a downer, but have you tried XM? I swore that i would have an aux installed after purchase, but once i used the XM i didn't even bother. I find driving alot more fun when i don't know what song is coming next. With so many stations you are bound to run into an awesome song that you haven't heard in forever resulting in a "damn, this was my songggg" response, smile soon to follow. I probably would have skipped the XM with an Aux jack, but i bought my car from Carmax and they give you a 3 month trial which got me hooked LOL

Thanks for the Welcome guys!

The wallet is staying closed for this car. It's only a daily driver.
