TSX - customization of Information Display problems by easman61
Jul 29, 2007 (11:48 am)

Just took delivery of 2007 TSX yesterday. Can't seem to get the car to recognize the remotes in order to to say "Welcome Driver 1". I just get the generic "Welcome". I've locked and unlocked the car with the remote as instructed to no avail. Without this recognition, you can't go in and customize any of the cars settings. I'll call the dealer tomorrow (monday) but they are 30 mins away and I was hoping somebody knows a trick to this to save me from having to drive all of the way down there.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

put your key in the ignition and start the car . and on the door you will find the memory buttons for l and 2.there is also memo above that. push that button first and then the # button. i think that should work. when i bought my car the salesperson did it for me. the dealer i bought from is 700 miles from me. It used to be only 50 miles but I moved. you also can find out for sure in the manual but that is how I was shown. good luck

I can get the memory seats to work just fine. It's the customization of the Information Display that isn't recognizing driver 1 vs. driver 2. I've read the manual completely but can't seem to find out what's wrong. I'll talk to the dealer and see what the scoop is and post back.
Thanks.

Took it to the dealer. They pushed and held buttons on remote a certain way and presto - they worked fine. Now I am able to customize all settings of vehicle.

I can't remember much from my quick skimming of the owner's manual. There is an entire section in the manual. A couple of things I remember: 1) you can set how long your interior lights stay on 2) you can set how long your headlights stay on before they auto shut off after you turn off the car 3)language on the display

Fog Lights ! by kts62

Turning on my Fog Lights during the twilght period (before really dark enough for full Headlights) has become a habit of mine over the years... But on my new 2008 TSX, I can't seem to get just the Fog Lights to come on. I don't think they are "On" except when the Headlights are also "On"
 
Does anyone know how to turn on Just the Fog Lights ?
     The Parking Lights & Fog LIghts?
Or do the fog lights only work when headlights are full on ?
...Bueller ?, Anyone ?

Pricing Impact of 2008 Accord and Upcoming TSC Model Change by zeep6785

I just posted my noodlings on the pros and cons on buying a TSX now versus waiting to check out the 2008 Accord over at the TSX vs. Accord Forum: Wait to check out 2008 Accord?
 
I know cross-posting is discouraged, so I won't repeat that post here.
 
However, what do you think the relative impact of the 2008 Accord and TSX full model change coming this spring will be on TSX pricing?
 
That is, is my best buying opportunity right now, after the 2008 Accord is out, or as we get closer to the TSX model change? TSX prices seem pretty good right now, and 07 Accords are being discounted very aggressively in advance of the 2008 release.
 
Similarly, do you think TSX prices will be even lower this winter/spring in advance of the model change, or are we as about as low as we'll see?
 
I know no one has a crystal ball, but I appreciate your thoughts.

I have no idea !
But since that wont help much, I think it depends on what you want as they are 3 pretty different cars. '07 Honda, workhorse sedan, somewhat larger and softer handling than TXS. '08 TSX - nice, amenity rich small luxury sedan with pretty good handling and economy. '08 Accord, "Full Size" sedan, notably larger now than TSX and '07 Accord. Handling is unknown but styling is improved (IMO-Pictures).
 
If you've decided on buying the TSX, I think the economy and the subprime mortgage dust up is going to impact auto sales this fall and some dealers are going to be hungry since they don't have much different to offer until Spring '08 when the redesigned '09 MY TSX is released.
 
Same goes for the New '08 Accord, but less so. The people who are waiting for the new model will make their buys this autumn and winter may be attractive. Beware of First Year gremlins.
 
But don't wait too long on either of these, the sub-prime stuff will un-wind itself sooner or later.
 
As for '07 Accords, then buy now while you can find some dealer holding what you want on the lot. Selection for Aug/Sept probably Pretty Good but not getting better... If you are not picky on color, etc, then wait it out a bit longer, perhaps.

08 Accord or 09 TSX by mrgold35

All the Honda/Acura I’ve own over the years (6 in 17 years), I’ve always preferred to purchase the 3rd model year or up because of:
 
- Refreshed styling (upgraded bumpers, taillights, add fog lights, revised rims, interior upgrades, etc..)
- Added features (updated Navi, safety features, Bluetooth, XM radio, extra HP, etc..)
- Corrected technical issues from earlier models (rattles, electrical, mechanical issues)
- Additional colors choices
- Additional incentives or availability to purchase at a lower price
- Added Type-S, SE, and coupe options (I've heard of a TSX convertible by 2012)
- Ability to read the pos/neg feedback for 2 years of 1st and 2nd model year owners on forums like this
 
I will not consider replacing my 06 TSX until the 2011 TSX is released. I will also consider the RDX, TL and MDX at the same time because they will also be right in the middle/end of model cycle. I’ve never felt comfortable purchasing the 1st or 2nd model year of a car.
