Currently my navigation is screwed up. The positioning icon is in the wrong spot. I just posted a topic about it that has more detail about the issue.

Problems With My Navigation System. Please Help!

2000 Acura 3.5 RL

SRS light has come on 3 times in two years always for different reasons.

Passenger seat position sensor
Passenger seat belt
OPDS ecu

Now the maintenance light is flashing upon starting the car. yay

seamusNH

The maintenance light is just an annoyance. Check the owner's manual on how to reset. If I remeber correctly, you hold down the two buttons on the dash (the select and reset) while turning the key and keep holding them after the engine starts until the light goes out

Anyone know how or where to find a DVD navigation hard drive that i can replace my 98 Hard drive Navigation unit with? I called the dealer and they said it would cost me $1,044 to have them put the new unit in i asked to have the hard drive formatted/ flashed and they said they couldnt do it - im trying to find out if anyone has done something similar on their own. i have the alpine touchscreen stock and just need a dvd hard drive - can i use any dvd hard drive or do i need alpine...? any thoughts or words of wisdom

For the trunk, there is a switch in the glovebox that deactivates the inside trunk release. Check it.

- The 2000 RL Skids when theres sleet or when its snowing (not sure if its just me) even on D3.. Skids even crazier on D4 when I accel even a little.. Is it cause its front wheel drive? Do I need Snow Tires?
and with it help the performance? and will new Rims help with performance in the winter as well? Tips?
- The Glasses case broke off
- VSA goes off randomly when I start transmission
-The back passanger rear door won't open from the inside. (It's not the child lock)
- The Cigar light (12-volt systems) doesn't charge up and then push out by itself anymore
- The other 12-volt system socket in the middle compartment doesn't work anymore since my battery died and I got it replaced. (Fuse is messed up)
- The outside paint job has scratches that mildly show on the coating.
- The passenger door handle has broken chrome peeling. ( Gave me a cut when I opened the door)

Anyone got the same problems? Can you help? any ideas? Cost? What should be checked out?

Definitely go for snows. I live in NH and had them on my RL for 8 winters. TireRack.com is good. Bridgestone Blizzaks. I have a set of stock RL wheels for a 96 RL if you are interested ($200 + shipping).
Glasses case is a poor design. Often breaks
The chrome peeling on door handles is common as well.

I have some parts from my old 96 RL that may fit. I can check if you are interested. (Seamusnh@gmail.com).

I suggest getting the technical manual. It is a free download at pdftown.com. Search on "Acura RL". 40 MB download.
