I'd be interested to know what major (expensive) problems owners have had over 100,000 miles. Since we have had so many problems, we might trade for a new MDX or Honda Pilot after 100,000 miles.

I am trying to program a FOB for a 06 MDX. Followed your instructions without any luck.
 
Clarification - I am aiming the FOB the passenger's Multiplex control unit? (MCU is the passenger door lock?)
 
Thanks for your assistance.

I used the instructions on my 06 MDX and the instructions worked perfectly.
 
I sat in the driver's seat while going through the steps, and didn't point anywhere in specific, but yes, the control unit is behind the glove box.

Back Up Camera Problem by brothje

My backup camera on my 2003 MDX stopped working about a month ago. I took it into the dealer who said that the camera had gone bad, so I needed a whole new camera.
 
The price was going to be $1,094, so I said I would think about it, as I wasn't sure I needed if fixed that bad. Anyone had an experiences with backup cameras gone bad?

'04 Reliability Update by upstatedoc

Just had my '04 in for the 50k mile service (if there is such a thing) Anyway, it was the first time it has been in the shop for any "service" They replaced all the fluids and lubed everything,replaced pollen filter, flushed brake lines all for only $585. I guess that's not too bad when you consider it's never had any work done, only a set of tires. The brakes have about 10k left on them according to tech and he said that will be approx. $1k to have new rotors and pads all the way around, does this sound about right?

The dealers are big on making everyone replace the rotors because Acura/Honda under-designed them for such a large truck. Rotors should last 150K miles or more. If you are told they need replacing, ask for a comparison of the measured thickness to the service limit thickness. If they claim they are warped, ("have hot spots") then ask for a comparison of the measured runout to the service limit runout.
 
I changed my pads myself at 55K and not the rotors and the brakes continue to work fine.

Maybe I'll get estimates various brake shops and see what the difference is? scottm123, just had the driveway sealed and fear I would ruin it. ">

I was successful in programming my FOB for my 2006 MDX and it works great. However....I noticed on the weekend that my panic button does not work (on both FOBS). I then did a quick test. Left my window open, locked the doors with my FOB, and then opened the doors manually.
 
Big surprise....my alarm did not go off?
 
Any ideas? Does this have anything to do with the re-programming of my two FOBS?
 
Thanks in advance.

If the alarm is not going off when tampering with the car itself, it has little to do with the fob.
The alarm is set when the vehicle is locked... it's not set by any action of the fob, other than locking the car.
 
Sounds like a problem with the alarm itself.
I don't know off the top of my head, but is there a separate fuse for that?
