Quick Questions?

Hello AcuraZine. I am getting a 04 Royal Blue Pearl Acura TL from Bay Auto Zone in Toronto. It has 105,000 KM's on it and Tan Interior this tues/wed or thurs. It is not type-s and its NON NAVI

Does the base have bluetooth?
Any good FM Transmitters with decent sound quality?
Will the bluetooth work with the Nokia N95?
Does the bluetooth in the car support AD2P (Music Streaming)?
Is there any parts of the car I should pay attention to?
How much should I be paying maximum for a decent tint?
What mod's should I do?
Are sony xplod subwoofers any good?
Should I just use a FM Transmitter or burn my own DVD-A's?

Thanks.

As far as your last question, I'd say burn your own DVD-A's. That way you can play what YOU want. Welcome AZ

In my previous car I used a DLO Transpod for an FM Modulator. If you are using an iPod it is a docking unit that will charge it through the cig lighter. If you don't have an iPod it also has a 3.5mm auxilary port. It was by far the most superior modulator I have used. It'll run you about $100, if they still make them that is.

A better bet is to use the tape deck with tape adapter hooked to your MP3 Player. Who knows why a $40,000 car comes with a tape deck, but you might as well take advantage of it.

Better then an FM Mod. At least nice to have as a $10 backup if you can't find a station that comes in.

My college roommate had one in his Escalade and it wasn't bad at all. I've never tried it in my TL. I don't have a tape adapter or I'd test it out for you.

in my experience, sony xplod anything sux! JBL/JL Audio/MTX FTW.
DVD-A is way better than FM-transmitters.
$180 is max i'd pay for tints that will not include sunroof probably. if u can't find a decent tint place, let me know, but make sure u buy moleskins first (run a search in the forum)
