was wondering if it was possible to dump mp3/wma in a dvd and have it play in the tl stock system

 

Unfortunately, no. The player reads only DVD-A discs.

 

it will only work on the 07 tl+ as they have the capabilities to read them.

 

Unfortunately, this is incorrect. The 07+ TLs play MP3s burned on CDs only, not on DVDs. Very few MP3-CD players support MP3-DVDs.

 

quite disappointing owell at least everything else is good i guess =) having fun with my newly bought 08 tl =) was debating between this and the 35x but i like the look of the tl better hehe

 

heres the thread from acuramdx.org
linky

 

Here is the exact quote from Acura Media Newsroom:

The system will not play DVD movies, DVD-V or DVD-R/RWs

Link

Of course, has anyone tried it? It might just work.

However, I checked the MDX info. It doesn't have the above phrase like our TL.

 

the point that this quote is making is that the HU cannot play movies. I can play burned DVD audio files on my TL, which use a dvd-r disk. As well, the link will only apply to 07+ tl's as they have capabilities to read mp3/wma files.

 

If that's really the case, then it's a fantastic news!

Do you know if DVD-RW will work for mp3's? If it does, I'll go buy some DVD-RW and test it out later!

 

i would be on the safe side and stick with some dvd-R's I have some dvd-rw laying around and can try it in the MDX, if it works it should work in the TL as they have the same manufactuer

 

Could you let us know if you have a chance to try the DVD-RW?

Thanks.

 

To my knowledge mp3/wma will only work on CD format, not any DVD format. I have also been told that mp3/wma on CD is limited to 255 tracks as well.

Seriously, if you even could dump over 2000 mp3s on a DVD just how on earth do you think you would navigate to track# 987 (for example)? 99 songs on DVD-A is bad enough to navigate.

Get an mp3 player with good menuing/foldering and playlist capability and stick in in the Aux jack you '07+ guys have. You'll never look back.

For the low quality of mp3/wma you can't beat a player (like an iPod) wired through the HU.

 

acutually you can navigate thru the dvd using a menu if you have a navi system on 07+ tl's. I do this in the MDX and the folders are easy to use.

 

Thanks for filling me in on that. Non-Nav cars would still have an issue.

 

I can confirm that my 07 MDX with nav plays mp3 DVDs(DVD+R). I tried putting the same DVD+R in my 07 TL-S and it spit it back out. I'm not sure if this is because the TL head unit doesn't like DVD+R media or if it doesn't like DVDs with mp3s on it.

 

Thanks for sharing before I bought a pack of DVD-R's.

 

Wow, somebody else on the forum with an 07 MDX and an 07 TL-S. Thanks for doing the testing on this.

Last time I checked the manual, this is correct for the '07 TLs. It's posted in the FAQ as well.

I believe the MDX may be running different hardware.

 

Yup, the only thing touching the Navi in the MDX does it get the screen dirty...
