New owner of a 2014 MDX Adv w/Ent (I'm back!)
Hey Guys,
it's been a few years, but i'm back! I had a 2004 TL 6 speed manual, which I sold a few years ago. I just picked up a 2014 MDX Advance with Entertainment.
Planned mods:
- OEM Trailer hitch
- OEM Fog Lights
- LED lighting upgrade
thinking about......
Getting better use of the Nav screen with possible phone integration.
anything else i should be thinking about doing?
That being said i'm also a father of two toddlers(5 and 3) now so is limited.

Congrats! I've also got a '14 Adv w/Ent, and find that there's an awful lot to like about this vehicle. As the father of two little ones myself, I can personally vouch that the space inside is wonderful!
But I will also say that, compared to your previous Acura, you may be disappointed by a few things. The nav/infotainment system, for example, is really user-unfriendly and seems like a major step backwards.
Finally, I got the OEM fogs installed at delivery and personally think they just should have been standard (at least on the Advance model). They make a subtle but significant improvement in the looks of the front of the vehicle and are actually effective (unlike some cars' fogs which are just for looks). But in the department of things that are just for looks, I like the light-up scuff plates! Check those out and see if you want to add them to your list of upcoming mods...

I installed the factory hitch and wiring in my driveway. It's pretty straight forward if you have the tools. I used a floor jack to hold it in place. You may want a second set of hands if you don't have a way to hold the hitch while starting the bolts. I had the trans cooled installed at the dealer.
