Anybody heard of this problem? Our '06 RL started making a high- pitched whining noise that kicks in at a certain speed (varies, but mostly around 40-45 mph), increases in pitch as the speed increases, then diminishes in pitch as speed falls off, stops when speed goes below original speed when it started. Hit the same speed, and it kicks in again.
The dealer's had the car on five separate occasions for upwards of 20 days at a time, and they're nowhere near figuring it out. One of their mechanics was convinced it was wind noise coming through the windshield, and over my outright objections, sub-contracted the windshield for replacement. NOW we have a wind noise in addition to the original whine.
The latest news from the dealer is that they're working with the Acura tech group out in Torrance, CA, but no solution as yet. We're growing increasingly impatient - we've had various loaners - TL's, RDX's, MDX's - but sorely miss our beautiful RL. Any observations, comments?

Will check with dealer tomorrow.

-   The whining noise you are hearing is caused by the driveshaft center bearing. Just had mine replaced under warranty and it fixed the problem (05 RL w/47,000 miles). Read here for stories from owners with the same problem: http://rl.acurazine.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-3482.html

Rearview mirrors controls quit working. I do not see any fuse locations in the manual. Swithing the control from the left or right mirror is no help. Both seem dead, They do not automatically change with the memory settings either. What is the problem?

I have an acura rl with music link connection in the glove box. It has been working perfectly unitl about 3 weeks ago when the connection just seems to have failed. Does anyone know how to make sure the cable is connected to the system?
