I just pickup the 05 TL black, AT, with lite tan interior 67k miles from private seller for $13.5k cash good condition with new tires (i think good deal). I have couple questions.
1/ Car only have driver 2 key. can I order driver 1 key? cost?
2/ When I tested some other 04/05 models, some of them have the rear mirror bend down when I reverse the car. This car doesn't do that. Is there a particular model/year do that? or this car has that problem?
3/ Anything I need to do at this mileage? Any major problem I maybe aware of? any recall?

Thanks.
MD.

 

You can purchase a remote 1 and Acura key on the net eg ebay, but I believe the key needs to be programmed by the dealer.
The mirror switch on the dash needs to be moved to right.
Check the dealer for outstanding recalls, and as far as the maintenace, if you've received all the paperwork from the owner start from there. If no paperwork, I suggest you just do at least the basics to start regardless of the MID. Oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter just to get started, and at that mileage it sure can't hurt to at least drain the trans fluid at least once.

 

I don't have the manual....so I assume the cabin filter still behind the glove box.
The rest should be same as previous generation right? no schedule tune up til 106k miles?

 

Yep, still behind the glovebox. You probably need to flush your brake fluid and clean your fuel injectors.. but nothing big until 105k.. depending on the previous owner's driving style.

 

1) Key or remote fob? Both are available, but not cheap (> $60)-- the key chip will require programming to match the car's ignition code.
2) Switch near mirror control- pushing it to one side or the other dictates which mirror will turn down upon reversing the car. The manuals are linked through the 3G Garage, including '05: https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/...505MAINIXA.pdf
3) Follow the Maintenance Minder; change out brake fluid.
There were recalls on the wiper motor and power steering hose which should have been completed-- check the Acura dealer (VIN should be logged if recall work was done).

 

Thanks guys.....I got all the answers needed for now. especially the online manual. thanks.

 

Want to add some info about following the MID. If you have proof of the maintenance that's fine, but I've seen people reset the MID without changing the oil, or doing the correct maintenance as requested by the MID. Just a FYI
