...a light around the ignition key hole? I noticed that mine doesn't have it...and my 2000 Accord did. It could be that mine is somehow "out"...in which case I need to get it fixed before my warranty runs out.

Thanks!

I can't speak for the 2007 but I have a 2008 and that does have a light around the ignition key hole. It's the bluish color.

Hmmm...mine is at the dealership getting some other stuff fixed up, so I guess I'll call them tomorrow and have them take a look at it.

Thanks!

Just for the record...the 2007 does have this courtesy light. I found it in the owner's manual....I just overlooked the "courtesy light" section in the manual.

yep... blue.

Yea...and mine's out =[. And I just got my car back from Acura today....

Thanks, guys!

Update...

So I took my car back to Acura and told them the light around the ignition keyhole wasn't lighting up. I go to pick up my car today and they said that it's not a feature on my model. Huh? I figure it's a pretty standard thing. Plus, the owner's manual says there's a light there and lists the conditions under which the light will come on.

Should I take it back to them and show them the manual?

BTW: I have a 2007 Base RDX

My Navi 2007 RDX has a light there.

Mine too. It's small, and it's only the inner circle where the key goes that lights up - it's not a big ring like on some cars.

I called my service manager again and he said he would talk to the techs and "call Acura" if they needed to in order to find out if that light is supposed to be there. He's kind of flaky...so hopefully he actually calls me today like he said he would.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to prove to a dealership that that light exists? I've called Acura Client Services and was told to tell the service advisor that the owner's manual for the car lists this as a feature and to reference the page number. I've done just that, and the service advisor has only responded by saying that they're still looking into it. I'm partly convinced that they are stalling until my warranty runs out (< 1k miles from now).

Any ideas?

Call the dealership manager. Point out the page # in the manual. Ask for an apt to get it resolved. Stop dealing with a service grunt and talk to someone that matters.
