Data Reset

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura TL and 2007 Acura TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This menu choice resets the AcuraLink control unit (XM receiver), and should not be selected. Only select "DATA RESET" if instructed to do so by the factory. If chosen accidentally, a confirmation screen appears to prevent accidental erasure. Select "No" to exit the screen.

NOTE: Selecting "DATA RESET" will clear the AcuraLink registration, and the AcuraLink service will reset to the factory default. If the vehicle was already registered for the AcuraLink service, it will have to be reactivated by calling Acura Client Services before all features will be available. The reactivation will cause the Feature Guide to start over at the first message, which will result in the client getting repeated messages.
