At least one editor finds the numerous buttons associated with the radio and navigation system to be a problem with the Acura TL Type-S; however, others counter that the controls are intuitive, clearly-marked, and easy to use. Buyers will have to make their own impressions, but it’s obvious that the large silver dials are radio volume and tuning, the slots are for CDs and old-school cassettes. If you can read, all the other controls, including those with tactile bumps on the steering wheel, can be mastered quickly. The touch-screen navigation system with voice controls is simple and easy to use, and the Real Time Traffic function is great. Unfortunately, the screen washes out in sunlight. The radio can also be controlled through the touch-screen interface.
