My center speaker doesnt work .. it ws wokign when i left the dealer but now it wont. does anyone know why or how its fixed.. i dont want the dealer to take apart my dash.. im thinkin of just keepin it as is cuz i dont want my car to be the ginny-pig.

 

Mike,

You might conisder asking the dealer about it. It doesn't mean that they will take your dash apart. It could possibly be a setting that isn't right or even a fuse. It's hard to tell without you going into more detail. But don't worry about the dealership ruining your car. It's brand new...it's still under warranty. Let them take care of you...that's what they are there for.

 

I don't want to insult the OP but there is a volume setting in the audio set up. If he has already checked this, my apologies.

 

Colin,

Don't you work at an Acura dealership? Would you have any insight on the problem or any possible solutions?

 

Yes, and that's all the insight I can offer. We haven't received our 2009 cars yet.

 

No its not a volume setting. i just placed the dvd audio disk and when it goes through each speaker.. and it gets to the center.. nothing comes out excepft for a litle bass from the mids while its on the center.. so i think the center speaker s either blown or te wire fell off.. i hope this is an easy fix for them.. i wonder if they even have a new speaker already beign thats its a 2009.. do you know where the amp is for this car?

 

If its making some sound, the wire didn't come loose. If it's making a scratchy sound, it's probably the voice coil rubbing something and it will need to be replaced.

 

Mike,

Take is to your dealership and let them take car of you and the car. It's under warrenty-they'll get it fixed. I had to have my subwoofer fixed on my Type S. To do that, you have to take out the entire back seat. I felt like you and didn't want to see my car disassembled. Let them give you a loaner car and don't watch them do the work! They'll have replacement parts...don't worry. But with it being under warranty, utilize it and get your car back to new!

 

i hear you both.. and colin yes there is absolutly no noise from that speaker.. it was there eysterday and it was very low and today its not there at all.. Steve thansk for the comfort... i will swing by the dealer in the am and see what they say and how long it takes to eeither swap the fron speaker or find out where the amp is to make sure the wire is till in tact... do u guys know where the amp is? is it eas access for them?

 

I don't know where it is...sorry. Hopefully, it will be a quick fix Mike. Heck, it might not be the amp. But I've got to think that the 2009 set-up for mechanical/electronic equipment couldn't be too different from year to year....even though it's a new generation of TL.

 

Page 289 & 290 of the manual -

Verify that the center speaker has not somehow been turned all the way down; check to see if Dolby PL II is on or off

Are you hearing any voice prompts from the car?

 

the center speaker turned all the way up. I tried it ith the dolby either way - no result. im not hearing ny voice prompts fromthe car at all - not even fasten your seatbelts

 

Bring it back to the dealer. Dont leave it as is because your scared. Dont settle for any thing other than what it should be.

 

I did this morning - I had a bad amp they said.. They also said they had to replace it out of another TL they received today from the factory as they didnt have the part available.... now we are waititng to see what is wrong with my XM Radio.

 

Glad it's being fixed!
