Hi,

I've just bought my 2004 TL (w/o navi) and they told me at the dealership that all third generation TLs come with standard HandsFreeLink.. but I don't have this option in my car? Maybe its different because its a canadian car? Does anyone know if its still possible to install HFL?

Thanks!

 

Your TL has the HFL. RTFM.

(Sorry to be so blunt, but it's not an "option." All 3G TLs, including the '04, including Canadian TLs, have the HFL.)

 

Hi,

Yeah I did read the manual, which points to the HFL controls on the steering wheel. But my steering wheel does not even have these controls! I'll take a picture and post it up soon.

 

Something's wrong, then, because the controls should be there, lower left quadrant between the spokes. If you have a Navi there should be four buttons there; with no Navi, there should be two.

 

heres a picture of my steering wheel. its weird because my manual also says theres supposed to be HFL buttons on the wheel

 

That is really strange. The HFL buttons should be in the area below the "CH" button. You said your car is used, so I wonder if the previous owner wrecked the car and replaced the steering wheel with one from some other Acura after the airbag deployed. Strikes me as very strange not to see the HFL buttons there, since they should be.

 

maybe whoever owned the car B4 u replaced the steering wheel and put one w/o the buttons back on???
strange...

 

according to the manual: HFL is only available with Dynamic or Navigation package damn thats one really useful feature gone for me.. Does anyone know of anyway to put this feature in?

 

Being as how this pretty much stunned most of us that there are TLs that don't have it. I would have to say that it's going to be tough. You can do it though if you research the electrical schematics for the car. But if it never had it from the factory then it would be an issue to see it in the MID in your gauge cluster.
