besides navi traffic what is different between the two? is the type s different than the base navigation? i hear all this talk about about importing contacts from your phone and i dont even see that option for my navi. also noticed that the menus are different between the two.

 

there is a big difference between the 2004-2006 and the 2007-2008 navi system.

The 07-08 TL use the 4.xx system which is faster, has more detail and as well more features. First off it has XM navtraffic and Acuralink so the car can link with acura for numerous things. It has a new revised user interface so it's easier to use and less prone to giving stupid search results such as stores 1000 miles away from your location. As you metioned, the HFL system is integrated with the navi system so you can import contacts from your phone's contact list into the car so you can select the contact and call them rather than manually entering into the car with the 04-06 HFL system.

Also there is the ability to play MP3's/WMA's!

 

dammit i knew it! cant wait to upgrade...

thanks for the response (:

 

what exactly do you mean by mp3s? like from a CD or something? cuz the 04-06 can do that pretty sure... atleast mine does

 

Yours plays cd-r not mp3/wma disc which can hold over 200 songs on one disc depending on music quality.

 

The latest Orange DVD upgrade for the '04/5/6 fixes that.
