If you search these forums, I posted a link on how to program the acura key fob. I found an article on google groups about how to program a 1994 acura legend (I think that is what it was) and followed the steps. When I had my kef fob replaced...as I lost one, the dealer charged a lot for the fob and wanted an additional $100 (or something close to that) for re-programming. Anyway, I would guess that Acura didn't re-write that software? It was something like turn the key 13 times, open/close the door, turn it 2 more times, press the button, etc. I had to do it a couple of times but not that hard. Go for the pre-owned MDX. My 2002 is great. I have a touring without NAV. |

I mean the keyfob in the new MDX's the redisigned model. Anyway, yea we might end up getting the MDX beucase the Volvo doesnt have very good reliability and the T6 models they all have a 4 speed auto from GM and i see that many people jave had problems with the tranny. Though i prefer looks of the Volvo, i rather have a reliable car. Anyone know where i can find night interior shots of the 2004-2006 MDX? I really want to see how the interior looks at night. Thx

Replying to: player4 (Feb 01, 2007 8:13 pm) It already has 22,000 miles on it, and other than a subwoofer rattle, I've had no issues what so ever. I've driven from MA to IL and MI twice and never once needed a map and averaged 23 mpg. Navi was 100% accurate and helped me find gas stations, various food options and hotels as well. I have not yet, even once, regretted this purchase. Unfortunately, the Acura website no longer shows the 06 model, but if I get around to it this weekend, I'll take some interior pics. The interior is nice at night. Acura offers LED ambient lighting (blue) throughout the front cabin space. It's very minor but you know it's there and I think it's kinda nice. The Navi has options for different background colors for night driving and the gauges are easy to read, without bugging out your eyes. I only have one complaint about the interior at night... The steering wheel controls are not backlit. Acura dropped the ball here... very sad for a $45,000 vehicle. You'll be happy with the MDX... I am.

Replying to: scottm123 (Feb 02, 2007 6:13 am) And the NAV since Honda has one of the bests ones out there i wasnt very doubtful of it but now that you tell me how great it is im sure we'll end up getting one with NAV. I want to get my hands on a 2006 MDX brochure from Acura but i dont know where to get it at? Thank you

Replying to: player4 (Feb 02, 2007 4:53 pm) I was gonna take some interior pics but the wife decided to play some sort of disappearing act with my brand new digital camera...  I stopped by my dealer and they had one brochure left and after working on them for awhile, they let me have it. I also have the Accessory Guide. See if you dealer has one, and if not, I'll just throw the thing in the mail to ya.

I was bored and thinking about this, so I decided to look it up and found my post from way back. Transmitter Programming for a 2002 MDX Storing transmitter codes: The codes of up to three transmitters can be read into the keyless reciever unit memory.(If a fourth code is stored, the code which was input first will be erased.) Note: It is important to maintain the time limits between the steps. 1.Turn the ignition switch ON (| |). 2. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the reciever in the passenger's multiplex control unit. 3. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF. 4. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (| |). 5. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the reciever in the passenger's multiplex control unit. 6. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF. 7. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (| |). 8. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the reciever in the passenger's multiplex control unit. 9. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF. 10. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (| |). 11. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the reciever in the passenger's multiplex control unit. 12. Confirm you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock button again. 13. Within 10 sec.,aim the transmitters (up to three) whose codes you want to store at the receiver, and press the transmitter lock or unlock buttons. Confirm that you can hear the sound of the door lock actuators after each transmitter code is stored. 14.Turn the ignition switch OFF, and pull out the key. 15. Confirm proper operation with the new code(s). Took me 2 times to get it right. I messed up 12 and 13 (I got excited when I realized this was going to work). This is from a discussion group on how to program 2000 TL remotes, works for the MDX too. Double checked it and everything seems fine. $59.95 labor for this.
