Tape deck is just about the only thing...

I use my heated seats often. Even in the summer. Does wonder for lower back pain.

Heated mirrors I use often too. But only in the winter obviously.

Tape deck, HFL, and seat warmers.

I don't travel enough to use Navigation. Only probably used it once in the past year.

I'm using the tape player less and less. I don't use cruise control. And my reverse mirror tilt thing is kind of fucked so don't have it set anymore.

It still works even when it clicks you know... Actuators are expensive though.

I actually use the cassette deck daily for my 'ghetto' AUX rig. Even in Florida, the seat heaters get used in the Winter months.. so I'll probably have to go with the heated side mirrors. Honestly, I don't think they've been touched since 2006.

Tape player, CD player, heated seats, heated mirrors, HFL (too lazy to turn on bluetooth on my phone because I always turn it off to save battery life). Power outlets. GPS.

Cup holders don't get used also.

- HFL & Fog lights. I used both one time.
- Never used heated mirrors.
- Rarely use map lights
- Never used trunk lock in glove box
- Never used valet key (cause I don't want anyone driving my car)
- Used the tape deck a couple times after I found some sweet early 90's tapes in a storage box (sounds great too)
- Rarely use the rev-match novelty feature (6MT)
- Spare tire & jack once (17" alloy enkie spare is hilarious looking on the 6MT)
- All-window roll up where you have to put the key in the door (used it like once)
- That stupid change holder thing in the arm rest (no toll roads)

surprised to see how many people don't use HFL. i havent used heated mirrors or seats since the car is garaged. i don't use the tape deck but now that i think about it i don't use the cd player or am/fm tuner because of the isimple.

I wish the HFL in our TL would allow us to import the phonebook wirelessly rather than recording the number and name one by one, and the fact that we have to press the HFL button and say "transfer" after dialing on the phone somehow drives me crazy....that makes me always have to dial the number first and quickly hang up then tell the HFL to "redial"

I think the HFL will allow phone book importation, but only if the phone is compatible with that feature. Before I bought my phone I looked on Acura's web site for compatibility - mine was compatible in every aspect except, I think it was referred to as "data transfer". I didn't realize that meant importing the phone book, but the only other phone my provider offered that was fully compatible would have cost me an extra $100.

The TL is an 07. The phone is an LG Rumor 2 (I think it's a 2) from Virgin Mobile.
