2)todays destination ... will be grey unless you have pre designated one or more destinations as "todays"
Overall, I've been very disappointed with the quality of the car .. so many noises and squeaks and rattles .. like a NYC taxi...
Most recent rattle that is driving me INSANE is one that appears to be coming from the drivers seat belt .. has anyone experienced this and does anyone have a solution? Dealer cannot do anything about it and I will trade the car in if I have to listen to this much longer.
The issue is the key fob is not properly linked to the car.
I dont know offhand how to do the link, as the service guys did it in about 2 minutes for me. BUt it may be in the manual, if not have them do it at your next service.
They said I may not be turning off the ignition all the way *rolls eyes* the first time. We'll see what they say this time.
Anyone with the battery problems get a fix or an answer for this?
P.S. for those of you who have squeeks, mine went away after about 3 months. it was coming from the driver's side of the dash.

Increased tire life
Improved fuel economy
Better braking and handling
Reduced chance of tire failure
Reduced wheel corrosion
Maintains tire pressure despite changes in temperature
I had never before heard of the product. Has anyone used this product on the dealer's recommendation?

When I tried to connecting with ALK,system identified the carrier, went thru 'easy process method', phone "bluetooth" would disconnect while trying to reach,,,then "reconnect" after telling me test connect had failed!
Any similar experiences?
Thanks.

Quite surprised that 3 salespeople from Acura had no clue as to why I could not initially get coverage! Neither had an answer as well!,,,I would bet they are told Not to add this feature if their local market traffic is not covered by this perk,,,
Thanks for your follow-up!

Sorry, though, to hear Acura dealers are not as good as they should be.
If anything of interest comes out of this, I'll be back to share.
Thanks,,,

You can also post your pics on your CarSpace page - it's a snap to get them there and then to display them in the Forums.
Still love the car but this is crazy.
What did they tell you the second time you have the battery replaced?
Has anyone experienced the same horrible mpg?? Any idea what's wrong? Our state has a very strong lemon law so I'll keep going back to document this horrible situation.
Thanks for any help you may have on this issue.
Good luck with your new car!
I believe that most of the low fuel mileage is caused by a "performance" shift algorythem being use rather than allowing for an economy one.
Having had a lot of experience with GPS systems and moving maps for aircraft and roads I pointed out to Acura that given the GPS integration that they could include on the DVD disk the readily available terrain information down to 1/2 minute (1/2 SqMi). This would allow dynamic shift algorythems that could be predicted prior to need just like the driver starts to accelerate as he reaches a hill and not wait until you start to slow down.
This would allow some reasonable set of shifting algorythems like "flatland, hills, mountains, etc.".

1. The car was so smooth, nice ride quality, no rattle, and very quiet.
2. A couple of days later I realized my RL had PAX system(RFT). Since I saw bad reviews on RFT, I asked the dealer to bring original tires and wheels. The salesman didn’t know why my RL had PAX on it. Seems a Tech pack customer didn’t want the PAX and swapped the tires. Anyway the dealer replaced the PAX by standard stock tires and wheels.
3. Wow! The tire noise is excessive. Even my wife immediately noticed. I thought transmission or engine noise. But it came from the tires(Pilot HX MXM4). The noise is much louder than my 10 year old Camry. I guess the noise level of PAX has been improved. But I’m not sure how long it can maintain the same level of noise and ride quality. I seriously think to replace the stock tires by Pilot Sport A/S. Acura should consider to chagne the stock tires.
4. When I picked up my RL right after the sealant job, there was a rattle from the passenger side chrome molding of the audio control console and passenger side dash board attached to the chrome. I guess the technician pressed hard the area during the sealant job. The dealer said a slip in the chrome molding was loose and they replaced. Now no rattle.
5. I feel the lack of low end torque as others. It looks the gear tends to stay at higher gear than it should be (but rpm was not low). Even if I sit in rear seat, I can feel some grinding noise/vibration. Either Acura should improve the torque or update the firmware to make sure the smooth gear transition. It is annoying. To avoid this bad feel, I have to push the acceleration pedal hard or use Manual mode. RL is lighter than MDX and has more power. I don’t understand the bad feel of low end torque.
6. The gas mileage is 16.7 mpg(my commute includes 3 mile highway drives). The camry shows 23 for the same daily route. My MDX(my wife drives around town) has 16 mpg(if I drive, I can get about 18).
