Can a 2008 TL navigation disc work on an '05?

Hey guys I just wanted to know if a 2008 disc would work on an 05 TL, and if there are the problems it can potentially cause?

No, it will not work. I think the '05 uses an orange disc. Your '08 requires a white disc.

clock works but shows wrong time some times
screen calibration at the bottom is off, but you can use the knob on the center to move around and select anything at the bottom of the screen
a bit of unfiltered noise when using Bluetooth


but everything else works fine

Do you have the disc that came with your '05 or do you have a disc for an 07/08? It sounds like you only swapped the drive.

Does the HFL work too? If you reused your 05 radio and screen, did you need the navi code of the 05 or the 07/08?
