And the ugliest radio display goest to....

The 07' 08' TL non-navi.

I didnt come here to rant but any ideas on Acura's awful decision of a radio display. I think the 04-06 looks better. Nav is not really an option with the hefty price tag. I mean the display looks like a purple timex watch from the 80s. There is so much glare. I love this car but dont understand this radio.

feel free to chime in....

You have to understand that this kind of thing is about saving money. The design was clearly geared towards cars with Nav. They werent going to redesign the cosole for the less expensive models. Nav- Pricey option maybe, but like they say...you gotta pay to play.

never knew the 07-08 had different non-navi models. but "honda" needs to realize in a luxury market, you can't be making customers "settle" for the sake of cost savings

Nah.

The design is kinda different.

Looking for a picture....

I'd still find a navi equipped TL by all means, though.

It's a bad picture, but you get the idea lol

Top half seems to show climate and compass in middle.

Bottom half is radio.

It's like impossible to find in Google lol

HERE WE GO:

Can you see the edge of the LCD on the 07? That's the main thing that bugged me on the 04-06. The whole thing felt like a really small display put in a huge area. The 07 looks like it fits better, but its hard to tell from press photos.

I always thought the newer screens looked better too. But nothing beats the look of the navi screen (factory that is).
