Eh.. you mean backup sensors? those are in the 04 TL's too, it's an option.

Nope. According to the acura website, it's still a dealer option.

ahh, so none have it from the factory.....they are added at the dealer

i cant believe they arent the body color....black looks bad imo

Actually I was told that the 05s had them matched to the body color.

I hope so... as I have a set coming on my TL (I do so much parallel parking and have kids in the neighborhood that I could justify it).

theyre painted but they stick out of the bumper and look very tacky, there was a thread about these that had a link for a system that goes behind the bumper or licences plate (cant remember) and cant be seen thats an aftermarket part that would be the best way to go aesthetically speaking, IMO

Why not just open the screen and install the back up camera the converter 250 the best camera built in license plate fram 150 4-5 hours of work boom you have the whole view not some sensors that make you paranoid.

See post #37

You can get it from Sears ...

Hmmnn...

I just called my dealer to get some pics of the new backup sensors (but the pic shown in another thread looks like the one he described). I *might* be making a trip to Sears for this one, hehehe.

I saw a new 04 MDX with the back up camera. Super cool, the picture shows up on the Navi screen. I don't know if it was put on by the dealer or came that way from the factory, but seems like it could be done on the TL if you want a picture instead of a beep...

That's the factory deal for MDX/Navi...sure hopes someone post 'how-to' for the aftermarket addition to the TL. I don't understand manufacturers thoughts at times. At some point I will trade my 02 MDX mainly for that feature.

As Brewmaster posted above, in that thread, DMZ ever checked with his dealer and shot some pics with the "new style" backup sensor... https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95500

Some pics aren't working now, wish DMZ could update them soon.

I saw those... they look more like the regular instead of the flat to me.

From what I saw, the flat are noticeable, but nowhere near as bad as the regular ones (since they line up flush with the bumper with no hole).

BUT... being the paranoid that I am, I am having my dealer send me a pic of the "flat" ones, just to make sure.
