TL-S Auto Start
no, this is not even a mod...it's there and some of you might not even know it. I was surprised when i found out.
the TL-S starts regardless of how you turn the key on it...even the shortest touch in the start position is enough, the car will keep cranking itself automatically until it starts, you don't have to hold the key in the start position until it actually starts.
one of my friends has a 07 TL-S and when i saw how he started it i looked at him like , then i went and tried it in my 06 6MT and it just did a little click...so it dont work on 04-06 TLs i'm guessing but it works with 07+ TL-Ss and mabe even 07 TL-Ps.

I don't think it works on manual transmissions...?
I have an '07 TL-S, with a 6 speed stick, and I read about this before, but it doesn't work on my car.
Anyone else with a stick shift get this to work?

I work at Volkswagen and I sometimes forget I'm not in the TL-S so I have to hold the key.

it's like a push start button, except it's not a button it's a turning switch
so the 6mts don't have that huh? that's odd since it makes no sence except that it needs the clutch override.
it would be wierd if the system malfunctions, or lets say u run out of gas....it would prolly crank for about 4-5 seconds and give up if it don't start by then

I think its pretty clear that Acura is behind the game in some areas such as cooled seats, auto start...heck they only came out with the "auto" feature on the TL in their 07 models while others like lexus had it since 2000
Acura has to get their act together and be ahead of the technology game

Technology wise Lexus ES > TL
GS is probably even with the RL
RX is behind the MDX, but it's also a 5 year old model etc.
It'd just be nice to have Acura's be more innovative etc.

You guys also have to think.. the TL is also a 4 year old car. If the new TLs dont have this stuff then theres a problem with Acura.
When the TLs first came out im pretty sure they were equipped with everything and more than the rest in that model class (I think its a Entry level luxury sedan class??)
