Really want to thank this community for all the write ups and suggestions, I was able to do most of the fixes I needed for this car without going to a stealership.

Now that I'm finally done all the 100k mile maintenance items and minor fixes, looking to do some upgrades.

Just bought and waiting on a K&N Typhoon intake for a decent sale price since its more known to not cause any code issues as well as having a dedicated tune with Hondata.

On that note, are there any suggestions on where I can get this reflashed or get the flashpro here to Toronto? Flashpro seems to be the best bang for buck but having to spend 1.1K before tax kinda hurts (atleast from all the google searching I have done).

 

Here in the states there’s independent shops that are licensed to install Hondata for around $ 300 . Maybe Canadian independent shops have the same service ?

 

Try contacting Hondata and see who their Canadian distributors/dealers are. It may be a better price vs buying online and having to ship it.

Otherwise, I'd suggest trying to find one used. I paid half the price of a new unit for a used one off one of the RDX Facebook groups. As long as its unlocked from the previous car (ask for proof before buying), it will install and work in your car without issue. The Hondata software is free to download and use, however you need the physical Flashpro device to lock to your ECU so you can modify anything and interface with the car.
