Reader’s Question:

I understand that the Acura TL is one of the best-selling cars of Acura. I want to go to an Acura dealer in Texas, but I am afraid that I might just get razzle-dazzled with all the electronics in this car. I am pretty sure I can understand the mechanical parts of the car from a brochure, but can somebody please give me some insight into the electronics?  What is the best best Acura dealership in Houston?

Hi, Sid, thanks for the question. It seems that you have not kept abreast of the technology that goes into a lot of cars now. You might even be surprised that the “mechanical parts” you think you understand are even monitored electronically. But let’s not go into that. Let’s go with the electronics that you will tinker with the most and these are the ones inside the cabin. The electronics now go way beyond your AM/FM stereo of old times. Gone are the cassette tapes and 8-tracks, in way, CDs, too, are becoming old. These are just the examples.

I’ll just show you some key electronic features in the Acura TL that you might find. A little info in your hands might show a salesman that you know your Acura. You can start with the audio system in the TL. The standard system on a TL consists of an 8 speaker system, an in-dash CD player that can read mp3s and wma files (the same files that play on a computer). The optional 10 speaker premium package comes with an ELS system that reproduces sound as if you were inside a studio. It even has its own hard disk (that’s computer memory storage for you) that can keep your music in the car even without the CDs. Then there’s Bluetooth connectivity for your phone, so you won’t have to fumble for it when you drive. Cell phones, as you know, have always been cited as one cause of vehicular accidents. There is also a satellite-connected navigation system to keep you on track to wherever it is that you are going in Texas.

Hope these helped bolster your confidence to go inside an Acura dealer.
