Has anyone hardwired a radar detector to a 2006 MDX and do you have suggestions on the best method to do this?

Hey Chuck,
 
I have an '04 that I have an Escort hardwired high.
For me, it saved me much frustration by paying Circuit City $29.99 to do it.
If you still want to do it yourself, check out radardetector.net where I am also a member. The guys over there can help you out.

A lot of it is personal preference, went with the MDX Sport Running boards on ours, mostly because I liked the look. Most adults really don't need them, your kids will love them. As an adult, I find myself naturally stepping directly down to the ground, if the running board is wet or muddy, your pant leg touches it if you aren't careful.
If you aren't in a big hurry, watch ebay, there are some dealers allowing their parts departments to sell anonymously to move inventory. Got mine from a dealer in the NE for $380 (delivered).
A couple on-line sites are www.acurapartssuperstore.com & handaaccessories.com. If you want to give your local store a shot, see if they will match an offer you see on-line, their prices aren't written in stone. Good Luck.

what is a good installed price on these accessories? by x5killer

What is the best installed price ppl have paid (for an 09 MDX) on thse accessories:
 
1. Sport Running Boards
2. Cargo Tray (no installation neccessary so just need invoice price on this)
3. Fender Garnish
4. Front Lower Garnish
5. Rear Lower Garnish
6. Body Side Molding
7. Roof Rails
8. Hood Air Deflector
9. Cargo Cover
10.Moonroof Visor
11.Door Edge Guards
12.Cargo Net
13. First Aid Kit
 
On the 'Roof Rails' for an 09 MDX I've seen ppl say they paid $271 installed and I think some have gotten lower then that but I had a dealer try to charge me $346.50 for the same thing.
 
for the 'Body Side Molding' I've seen ppl pay $238 installed but I had a dealer try to charge me $282 so there seems to be a wide range of prices for the accessories which tells me its an an area that consumers overlook, because they are concentrating on getting a good price on the vehicle.
 
I think some dealers try to gouge the customer who gets a good deal on the vehicle even more with the accessories because ppl don't do their due dilligence on accessories and it seems to be harder to find out the invoice price even on these accessories let alone what ppl are paying. Plus there can be a difference in installation/labor cost from one area, state , or dealership to the next.
 
Please let me know where I can find the invoice price on the 09 MDX accessories and better yet what ppl are paying plus how to figure out what is a fair installation cost on these accessories.
 
thanks

prices on installed accessories by x5killer

please list your installed price on any of the MDX accessories.
 
personally I am looking to compare installed price on the following:
 
1. Fender Garnish:
2. Body Side Molding
3. Cargo Cover
4. Moonroof Visor
5. Front Lower Garnish
6. Rear Lower Garnish:
7. Hood Air Deflector
8. Door Edge Guards
 
I have been using www.acura.bernardiparts.com as a reference for price on the part but its hard to determine the installation/labor cost for each as it seems to vary depending on dealership.
 
I may just order from there as long as the shipping is free or cheap and then take to a shop to have installed or try and do myself or at a friends shop.
 
but please share your installed price on factory accessories here.

I paid $97 for the sports running board installation. The front and rear lower garnish cost $190 total for both to be installed (the bumpers have to be removed before they are installed) by an Acura dealer.
 
The cargo cover should cost $0 as you should be able to do it yourself, just make sure you buy the right type (with or without power tailgate).
 
Haven't bought any of the other accessories so can't help you there.

Ping Pong table moving. by rputtagunta

Hi,
 
I have a question, but, I didn't know where to post it. Sorry if I am posting it in the wrong forum.
 
I was planning on moving a ping pong (table tennis) table using my friend's Acura MDX. Has anyone been able to move it successfully? Or should I find a pick up truck for moving the table?
 
Thank you.
