after 7 years of being absent from the Honda/Acura world, I chose to sell my MR2 due to the high mileage and picked up a 05 TL yesterday....I love this car, the navs and everything else...this car also saves me some money cuz previous owner already tinted the rear and back window and also installed the ipod control/aux....


however, quick question to you guys, i noticed the side mirror tilts down when it's in reverse, should both of them tilt down or just the driver side???

 

I believe it's just the passenger side. My 02 TL is like that

*edit, wait, did you mean the passenger or the driver?

 

No its one or the other they both do not move at the same time.

 

+1, on my '05 TL you select which one goes down when you go into reverse by the switch that selects which mirror is being adjusted by the little D pad thing to the left of the steering wheel.

If its selected to left, the left mirror goes down. If its set to the right, the right one goes down. If the switch is in the middle position, neither mirror will move when you go into reverse.

Knowing Honda, it is probably much the same for most TL's of that era.

Yes only one goes down, there's a switch on the side, slide it left or right for which mirror you want to go down when you reverse.

 

yup my type s does that as well. Pretty cool especially at night or curbage. but I look at my dash when in reverse lol.

Good luck with car 3g TL's are nice.
