Reset TL

Sold my 2008 TL. Is there an easy way to reset all the stored info (phone, cell phonebook, destinations,..) back to stock? I want it to look like an unused vehicle, like the day I bought it.
Thanks

For the '04-'06 TL, the HFL's stored phonebook could be deleted by going to the HFL setup menu; I suspect the later TL also has that option.
You might have additional HFL phone book options through the Navi interface with the '07+ TL.

One of the Navi pages shown when the "Setup" button (next to the joystick button) has an option to delete all past Navi destinations; I don't recall if there was a selection to delete the user and home address info as well.

Is there anything in the service menu that may offer a faster solution? I'm sure dealers don't spend that much time cleaning up the prior owner's footprints when you turn in a car.

The owner's manual covers this; at least my '05 manual does.

The HFL clearing is one process to remove lots of stuff.
"This operation clears the HFL of
your passcode, your paired phones,
and all names in the HFL phonebook.
Clearing is recommended before you
sell your vehicle.

To clear the system, do this:
1. Press and release the Talk button.
After the beep, say ‘‘System.’’ The
HFL response is, ‘‘System options
are setup and clear.’’
2. Press and release the Talk button.
After the beep, say ‘‘Clear.’’ The
HFL response is, ‘‘This process
will clear all paired phones, clear
all entries in the phonebook, and
clear the passcode. Is this what
you would like to do?’’
3. Press and release the Talk button.
After the beep, say ‘‘Yes.’’ The
HFL response is ‘‘Preparing to
clear all paired phones, all
phonebook entries, and the
passcode. This may take up to 2
minutes to complete.’’ Press and
release the Talk button. After the
beep, say ‘‘OK’’ to proceed, or say
‘‘Go back’’ or ‘‘Cancel.’’
4. If you said ‘‘OK,’’ after a short
period of time, the HFL response
is, ‘‘System has been cleared.
Returning to the main menu...’’

The Navi options remove all stored destinations in one simple process as well.

I was able to delete everything but my User info. I have many destinations saved under 2 users. I can delete them individually but can't delete the user in one step. Am I missing something? Deleting each entry will take all day.

A) Setup

B) Select Screen Tab 2

C) Select "Delete Previous Destination" within Tab 2.

"1. Select this option, and the display
changes [to a list.]
2. Scroll through the list and find the
address you want to delete.
3. Select the address by using the
joystick or touching it on the screen.
4. Select Return to return to the Setup
screen.
Tip: You can delete all addresses by
selecting ALL ADDRESS
."
