Aftermarket Dash Decals

This lettering makes my TL stereo install look a little more OEM.

I found these puppies at an auto parts store while vacationing in Bangkok,Thailand of all places!

Side Note: It's so sad how every poor S.O.B. that buys an Acura from 10 years ago or less really can't really customize and install an aftermarket DIN size stereo. Your ears have to take what Honda audio engineers decide upon and like it 😥.

Car wash procedure for 2026 MDX?

I’m embarrassed to have to ask this, but I just bought my first Acura (a 2026 MDX Advance) and took it through Mister Car Wash for the first time. I’m pretty sure I did something wrong going in, because I pressed the brake and pressed the N button once, and then when the car wash’s conveyor belt started moving, my sensors started beeping like crazy and the car kept trying to brake itself. I also tried to get out at the end of the car wash by pressing the brake and the D/S button, but it wouldn’t shift out of neutral and kept telling me to use the paddles. I kept holding the brake and pressing D/S, and eventually that worked.

What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to take these cars through the car wash?

(Please be kind—I’ve exclusively driven low-tech, 1990s/early 2000s Toyotas and Kias until now, and this is my first vehicle with all of these technology features.)

Finally gave her the EOS Front Splitter Lip

I finally pulled the trigger on the EOS Front Splitter Lip on the Teggy. It was a pain installing it on my own, but it will definitely be much easier with a second pair of hands. I love how it turned out, but I still have to get used to the dips because it can scrape!

First 30k Miles

We’ve owned Hondas and Acuras for close to 30 years. We’ve been blessed to be able to “upgrade” to the higher-end Acuras and we have been super happy with our 2024 MDX Type S during its first 30k miles. No issues and great service at Gillman Acura North.

'25 TLX Front Emblem Stolen

I don't know if this is becoming increasingly common, but someone stole the front Acura emblem off of our '25 TLX, leaving behind the sensor? Tried calling the police to report the vandalism and they said they have no one to send. What the hell? Has this happened to anyone else? Replacement OEM Emblem is $350... 🫩

2023 Acura MDX SH-AWD vs 2022 Genesis G70 2.0T AWD — which would you buy?

I’m deciding between two used cars and would like advice from owners/mechanics.
Option 1: 2023 Acura MDX SH-AWD
49,455 miles
3.5L V6
SH-AWD
Automatic
7 seats
White exterior / tan interior
Fuel economy: 19 city / 25 highway

Option 2: 2022 Genesis G70 2.0T AWD
18,000 miles
$30,000
Not CPO
2.0T turbo 4-cylinder
AWD
Lower miles, but older and smaller sedan
My main priorities are:
Long-term reliability
Lower maintenance/repair costs
Overall ownership experience
Resale value
Gas mileage
Engine/transmission durability

I know these are very different vehicles — a 3-row SUV vs a sport sedan — but I’m mostly trying to figure out which one is the smarter long-term buy.

For people who own or work on Acura MDX or Genesis G70 models:
Which one would you buy and why?

2026 Acura MDX Type S B&O system replacement/upgrade?

Love my new type S, but absolutely hate the B&O system. Bummer the ELS is gone. It’s great for some I understand, but it hurts my ears, even at low volume. I don’t know if it’s a frequency thing, faulty speakers, or just from the lack of adjustments. Even with the crappy circle adjustment, you can never seem to remove the bass and treble. After short stints, my ears are fatigued and there seems to be a slight shrill in the sound. Maybe it’s just because it’s so amplified? IDK not an expert at all with sound. But I do know that the Honda Pilot Bose system I had prior was way better for my ears.

Has anyone successfully upgraded the stock B&O for model year 25/26 to better speakers, or modified with software, the current system, to make it better? Can it be addressed by a car audio shop?

Ridiculous a 31 speaker system is terrible for my ears but there you go! Love everything else about the car. Any advice would be appreciated. I would HaTE to trade this in down the road, because it’s that good of a car.

My First Acura!

Well as someone who has been a Mopar driver for most his life (Mainly Jeeps), I decided I wanted to try something different. I wanted something somewhat unique and reliable and I think I hit the nail on the head. So found myself a 2011 Acura TSX Sportwagon, loaded with 121k miles. Runs like a top, semi rare and a blast to drive! Can't wait to dress it up a little.

MDX 2020 timing belt question

Hi there,
New owner MDX 2020 is here.

Just bought MDX 2020 a few days ago. Certified and well maintained vehicle in the past. Only 47 000 miles
Transmission fluid/ differential / brakes/ tires.

However I don’t see any records for timing belt replacement

How much time I have before going back to dealer/ shop and get it done? How about coolant / spark plugs? Anything else i should be worried about?
MDX 2020 base 47k miles certified pre owned

2008 mdx transmission

Recently had my transmission fluid drained and filled in may, mechanic drained didn’t see how much but added 4qts of the Honda fluid I got at the dealership. Fast foward to July, feel the transmission slip trying to get out first gear once or twice last 2 weeks.

Yesterday drove for about 10 mins and then the car really started thumping when changing gears, I didn’t hear any grinding while driving back home.

Today I when out to check to see if it the transmission fluid was low and that was the cause but I noticed this, I checked it the way it says, turn the car on let it get to operating temperature, shut off and check before 60 to 90 seconds. Does this look overfilled? Car is at 152,000 never gave me issues before especially transmission issues.

Acceptable MPG when road tripping at least!

Mid refuel when I took this pic, hence the range/fuel gauge being wonky looking. Refueled with more than 1/4 tank, estimate I could have got about 390-400 miles on a tank.

Even though it says comfort I drove it in sport for the entire drive. It just returns to comfort on restarting the engine.

26 MDX Adv, Is this a good deal?

Got dealer down to 58,767 with dealer discount and current allegiance offer from sticker price of 68,950.

I was pushing for more but they don't seem to have any more room. Should I pull the trigger?

[Serious] Every time I drive my Acura RDX 2018, my testicles ache badly

I cannot figure why it would be. I have 2 other cars which I drive regularly and they never cause me the same problem. The aching pain lasts for hours afterwards.

Has anyone else experienced this? What could possibly be the cause?
