New 08 MDX keeps losing key settings by msladybug
Jan 27, 2008 (3:39 pm)

I just bought a new MDX after owning an RDX for 4 months and not liking it too much. The first day of driving it off the lot, my MDX no longer recognized the keys and would not let me change the personal settings within my steering wheel and the address book and home buttons within the nav (as well as many others buttons) were now blacked out. It worked fine for 1 whole day then all of a sudden both keys are not recognized for personal settings. Since the Nav is the same in the RDX I never had this issue at all so this is a new one for me to have to deal with.

The keys for your MDX allow you to turn the recognition feature on and off. The instructions are located on the back of the keys. You just need to press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons at the same time until you see the light blink on the remote, then make sure all of the doors are closed and unlock your doors and it should recognize the key.

Question regarding MDX 08 Auto night/day menu feature by msladybug
Feb 09, 2008 (9:03 am)

In my RDX I was able to set up my menu so that when it got dark my menu would turn red and my map would be black.
 
In my MDX 08, it seems to not work..I have to manually push the button to make it dark at night.
 
Anyone know why it's not automatic in the MDX?

Press the setup button, you won'tsee the day/night color selection in the first screen, use the interface dial (push it to the right, I think) to get to the next screen, then you will see the color selection, and you go from there. I bought mine a week ago and have read the manual a few times. The electronics in this thing is complicated.
 
Good luck.

The owners manual is the best source for proper operation of all the features although boring to read, it will help you understand how things work instead of assuming things are broken.

Anyone hearing anything about the 09 MDX? It is the third year of the model as this is usually the year they make changes...I am hoping for a hard drive of 10gb, keyless start, better third row access

Creaks and pops when starting and stopping by cardriver4

I have an ’08 MDX purchased late November. I noticed early on subtle creaks and pops coming from either the front suspension or maybe the transmission while moving very slowly starting from a stop and braking to a stop. I don’t really notice it if I’m starting fast or breaking hard (maybe because of the additional noise) but during a normal acceleration from a stop or a slow breaking to a stop.
I recently took it to the dealership and the tech said that they are aware of this, that it’s also been noticed in the ’07 MDX, but they don’t yet know what it is.
Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, has your dealership been able to fix?
Thanks

I've been wondering about this too. Consumer Guide is claiming no real changes for the '09 model year but I would expect Acura to make some feature upgrades in it's 3rd year of the model.
 
Would be nice to see them make the back up camera standard, add a keyless starting feature with the tech package, update the navigation system (with features such as real time re-routing around traffic problems) and maybe give the stereo a once-over.
 
Wife and I are looking to buy or lease in May so we won't be worrying too much about changes, we still feel MDX offers best overall bang for the buck in this segment.

They didn't change the first gen. MDX until the fourth model year (dual tail pipes, projector head lamps, upgraded stereo, HP increase). If they follow suit w/ the 2nd gen., it will be MY 2010 for any significant changes.
