Does anyone have any Hondata maps or calibration files for the RDX they'd be willing to share? The Hondata software includes a few different ones for the 2019 RDX, but the first gen RDX has only the factory map along with Hondata's map for a stock RDX.
I just replaced the stock airbox with the K&N kit for the RDX, and am wondering what (if anything) I should or could do in FlashPro to "tell" the car its getting more air. I do plan on having a proper dyno tune done once my ATLP exhaust arrives.

The FlashPro comes with seven base maps for the first gen RDX, including one specifically for an RDX with the K&N intake only. The file name is RDX-2007-6-K&NCAI.
I did end up finding the Hondata Vault, and tried some of the maps available there. However, I've realized that because I have the CARB version of the flashpro, many of them will not load.
It does appear the optimized Hondata map for the stock RDX is adjusting fuel consumption based on the increased airflow as feralcomprehension mentioned, so I'll be sticking with that for now. Planning on having Steve @ E-tunez do a custom map once my ATLP exhaust arrives.

Have you spoken with him yet about tuning with a CARB version? Very limited with what you can actually do. Many people have run into issues where the calibration their tuner sent them will not load because it’s not “approved.”
Indeed I did. Found this out when many of the basemaps in the Hondata vault (including the one you mentioned above) would not load onto my Flashpro.
When I asked about CARB tuning, Steve sent me this reply:
We can still make improvements feel boost control, but, we lose the ability to adjust the MAF Cal. So more power yes, and we can monitor the ignition and advise fuel and K.Control etc, but we can't make it "perfect" with spot on fuel trims.
He mentioned a CARB tune would be cheaper than a full non-CARB tune so IMO it'll be worth it.
