has anyone considered doing an auto up/close module like the rx330/pacifica/caravans on the rdx? or has anyone done it already?

i really want to do it and program it on my 2way pager...

anyone know any companies that do it? i know this one company that do it that i found out about at a car show, but they look crazy expensive so im not gunna bother with them

thanks

this never crossed ANYONES mind????? wow..

 

it may be very expensive, considering to fit a motor, and then safely wiring it. then there are fit and finish issues, and maybe the hinges may need modding...anything is possible with money, but the question is: how much of it?

 

yea that was one thing i was thinking about too... the damn money... i wonder if i buy the stuff the mdx has ...if it would fit on the rdx

 

not at all. if i wanted an auto open/close hatch, i would have bought the more boring rx350.

besides, that feature is intended for soccer moms, and a soccer mom i am not.

 

neither am i... but every damn time i use the trunk, im always loading something in or out with my hands completely full... usually large items

 

The MDX closer and lock assembly looks pretty big, so the vehicle tailgate area would have to be designed to house it.

I would use a feature like this every once and a while but not enough to make it worth it I think, but its definitely not a soccer mom feature. I would like it if it would open automatically, but you have to pull it down to close it. then it wouldn't even have to be a power tailgate, but just a release mechanism.

The MDX has a problem with its power tailgate. If you leave it open, it puts a continuous 3 amp draw on the battery, and it is killing batteries, especially if you tailgate.

 

same here, but i still manage.

 

u make a strong point, but i would still need the auto close... unloading is a bitch too for me.. haha...

what do u mean... "especially if you tailgate??"

 

so do i, but im also the type of person that loves all convenience and alot of power stuff haha

 

im with you chyllintsx. i could really use this feature. my hands are full most of the times and this would help out alot.

 

high five man

 

tailgate as in tailgating before a football game or something like that. Not tailgating by following someone closely on the road...

 

ahhh okay... i see... but wat do u think of this?

do u think thats suffice?

 

That thing isn't going to do anything. It will release the tailgate, but it won't open it. You'll still have to lift it by hand, so you might as well just push the button on the tailgate.

 

yea i talked to peter bout it, he said the same... guess i got to keep lookin
