RE: 2015 TLX
VIN: = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dear

To ensure Acura clients have the best ownership experience, new software is sometimes released to improve the
operation of our product. Recently, we released a software update for the audio, navigation, and hands-free phone
systems in your navigation-equipped TLX. This software update provides functional and graphical improvements to
make the systems more user friendly.

A few examples of improvements include:
* Adjust navigation guidance volume using the audio volume knob or steering wheel controls.
* Customize audio source locations—put your most used selections in the order you want.
* Tune or store audio presets and viewing artist and song title information—all from one screen.

Abrochure detailing more specific improvements is included, and is also available at your dealer. In addition,
we have created some helpful videos explaining the changes and showing the new functionality, available at

www.youtube.com/user/Acura under the ODMD Playlist.

Our records tell us that you are the current owner or lessee of a 2015 TLX eligible for this update. To take advantage
of the improved functionality, please call your Acura dealer and schedule a service appointment before March 31,
2017. After this date, the offer will expire. The software update is provided free of charge and takes a few hours to
download onto your vehicle.

We believe the updated software will provide you greater satisfaction with your vehicle, and we encourage you to
take advantage of this update. If you have questions about this notice, or need assistance with locating an Acura
dealer, please call Acura Client Relations at (800) 382-2238.

Thank you for your continued loyalty to Acura.
Sincerely,
Bruce T. Smith
