No AcuraLink Messages on my new RDX
From everything I've read, I'm supposed to be getting a message every day on my new RDX (AWD + Tech). I've had it for a few weeks now, and haven't gotten any messages. In fact, the word "Messages" is greyed out on the screen. I know that my iPhone 4 won't work with this system, but I think I should be receiving messages even though the car can't talk to the Acura servers.
Is there something I need to do to start getting those messages?

Where did you read that? as far as I know messages are only for "important" things, like maintenance or reminders, etc, not just for the heck of it.

I've read on several postings on this site that for the first few weeks, you get one message a day - tips about the car. I think it may have said that in the manual too. I agree it would be annoying if it happened all the time, but at this point, I'm not even sure that this whole AcuraLink think even works because I've never seen a message.

I just traded "down" from MDX to RDX which is a lot more fun to drive. The MDX did send new messages which were helpful. I also can't connect to Acura server, but Bluetooth works fine in all other ways. Phone is Samsung Galaxy S Android. The tech pkg doesn't understand commands as well as the MDX ('08) did. May need dealer help. Any other ideas?
Thanks

I don't know about other Acura models, but I feel that the voice command in the RDX sucks! to make matters worse, I have an accent, so the computer (when it actually understands) performs the wrong operation, i.e. I ask for a radio station and the AC gets turned off....or something else..
Same thing here. But it does recognize when I dial and say the number. Th voice commands on the RDX aren't the best.

Somewhere (don't have the manual w/ me now) in all the RDX menus there is a section where you can set up the link and test the phone's connection. The dealer had originally set it up for me, but when it stopped woprking, they were not able to re-do it. Again pointing the fault to my phone service.

the first message that appears it clearly says that there are preprogramed messages to better help you get to know the vehicle better and for the first 90 days or once all messages have appeared. all these messages are stored in the headunit
