1. RDX and TL-S key fob since a lot of us are complaining about that, unless they are changing it?

2. LED tailights, I mean the USDM Accord and TL have it, why not the Euro Accord/TSX?

 

I don't see the need for either considering there is a complete redesign on the way. Besides, for under $100, you can get an integrated keyfob from moda_way. Honestly, the RDX keyfob felt rather large and bulky.

 

The lip spoiler as an option.

 

I'm kind of lukewarm to the LED tail lights. I guess some of the new Infiniti's look nice. I also liked the round prototype ones that were installed on the TSX. I've never been a huge fan of the TL's tail lights and the Accord ones are okay.

Some of the simpler electronic changes to add for '07 could be:

-auto door locks, why don't we have this?
-MP3 CD player
-Radio that displays song/artist info (guess this goes against XM though)

 

i really doubt anything will be changed until '09... except for the addition of the tpms... which i'm glad i don't have... I believe you won't be able to swap rims without defeating the system, which i'm sure will throw codes and take up your MID...

i too wish we had a nicer key fob, and AT MINIMUM the cd player displaying track info on the screen... i could live without the radio info, but atleast read it off the cd, even cheapo 150 decks can do that stuff these days...

mp3 cd player would be nice, but not totally necessary seeing as us 06+ have the aux input thaknfully...

 

I'll vote for MP3 CD player, lack of it has been a major annoyance ever since I got my TSX.

 

and, they should move the sunroof/moonroof controls to the console where the sunglasses holder is.

 

Actually, the TPMS system that Acura uses is built into their valve stem system and should be transferrable to most wheels. Plus, TPMS is now mandatory for all 2007 MY cars, if I remember correctly.

 

I would go for:
- a graphic EQ on the touch screen to adjust the mid-range sound
- keyless entry with push button start, this would save the key fob wear/tear
- rear A/C and Heat Vents on center console for rear passengers
- a way to update the Navi DVD without waiting 12 months to do it.
- a way to default to the current city you are in when performing searches (don't need the Walmart store 1,300 miles away first)
- memory seat buttons that control the side mirrors also
- pass through hole/latch when the center arm rest is down in the back.
- personalized MID for driver 1 and driver 2, different presets for Navi color, Radio stations, EQ settings, XM presets, etc..

 

That'd be sweet, but i heard from a honda engineer that it was built into/integrated into the OEM rims...

and

hopefully that's just them trying to scare people away from doing this, but somehow i doubt that...

 

i'm sure eventually rims will come out that will accept the tpms properly but at first i can see them being hella expensive...

 

Ooh, I like some of those

-I totally agree on the mid-range EQ addition. Why have a nice sound system w/o the ability to adjust it properly.
-Push button start is probably a differentiator with future TL/RL, as is rear A/C. They should add the side view mirror memory, even though this is also a current differentiator. The other 2 I could see keeping in the more expensive models and not be included in a sub $30k car (though both nice to have).

 

1. right side view mirror automatic lowering when car is put into reverse.
2. one touch sunroof open (i know there is a mod but just being standard would be nice)

 

Wait, don't we have that now?

 

Close the windows w/ the key fob, not just open them.

 

I have that.

 

I would like to see a single set of buttons for both handfree phone and voice command. One push and one pull is very confusing. I keep pulling the voice command button to answer call. There is really no need for two sets since only one can be used at a time.

 

aftermarket install?

 

Yeah I discovered there was module for that a few minutes ago. I will be looking into that and the one touch sunroof next spring.

 

I would like to see auto dimming outside mirrors. not just the inside one.
I would like softer seats like in the TL.
they do need to incorporate the two sets of buttons. I don't have navi, but I was sitting in a demo playing with the buttons and I didn't like it.
role windows up with the key fob.
auto locking doors

 

I rather not have the TPMS. Most aftermarket wheels dont support the sensor. On my G35 , I had swap new rims and they were unable to be transfer so therefor I had to live with the warning tire light on my dash. Besides if these TSX tires are damage results of flat tire, they are not that expensive to replace.

 

Umm...have you looked up the price of a Michelin MXM4 tire lately? They're around $215 each. I'd say that's a pretty pricey tire...

 

lsd

 

Wow I never knew that. I would get something better and cheaper. Theres alot of review on those MIchelin MXM4 and they are horrible. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....=Pilot+HX+MXM4

 

Why not spend the money and get the optional mp3 player. I have it and love it!

 

I thought of more stuff for 07/08/09 TSX:

- Real-time traffic monitoring (useless in 80-90% of North America)
- Real-time weather Info on Navi, nice to know if there is a hail storm or tornado two miles up the road at night.
- Internet access in wifi hot spots and/or with cell system. Down load latest DVD maps, get current show times to movies, email alerts (the car reads the emails to you), see a web address and go to it along with the address/phone # for a business, update your calendar/addresses/appointments in the car with your home/office computer.
- back up camera because the TSX does have a high booty
- A rear power jack for my son’s game boy
- Seat coolers for us living in the south east/west
- Rear head rest that you can push down flush with top of the seat when not needed.
- One touch up/down for all windows and moon roof (door controls and key fob)
- Tighter turning radius
- Real 3-way 6X9 speakers and a separate sub in the deck/rear
- CD player that can do MP3s
- Daytime running lights
- Adaptive cruise control
- Add more than one appointment in a day in the calendar feature
- Adjustable gas/brake pedals linked to memory seats (wife is 4’11”)
- 6AT with SS and paddle shifters
- Heads up display for Tach and Speedo
- More seat travel (I’m 6’3”)
- One touch back feature on passenger seat
- Redesign or move the DAMN door lock on the sill, it pokes and bugs me when I rest my arm on the window sill.
- Personalize the Driver 1 or 2 messages to change it to “I’m Wayne Brady Bitch” or “Ride me like the whore I am” or “You got Mail” or “You’re special and I love you” or whatever. It would be nice to hear some of that from the female Navi voice.

and still keep the price at $30-32K for everything.

I know, what the hell is he smoking and where can I get some!!!

 

^^ hahaah i like your ideas..

hah the features I like the most that you mentioned were the

- traffic monitoring (good for city core areas)
- weather info!!! i've always wondered this... get the forecast for areas etc... know when it's freezing rain or not etc
- wi-fi access or perhaps satellite internet available as a monthly subscription sorta like xm??
- more than one appointment in calendar
- HUD would be SWEEEET

ALSO!! being able to add in a waypoint by address instead of having to add a waypoint by searching through the damn categories...
- Keyless touch entry (like on the RL, if they key's in ur pocket the door unlocks when you touch the inside of the handle... and then push button start)

 

There are 3 things I want:

-an 8-speed automatic, a la the new LS600.
-suspension settings
-the 'Manettino' like the f430.....Basically, a switch for snow, race, drag, city, comfort, etc., that sets up the suspension, engine, and transmission for that specific condition.


Acura, don't just make it fast, make it easy to go fast.

 

How about a Turbo and an AWD?

 

I forgot about that. I would also like the window sill to be lower. I'm 5'9" and I feel like I have to raise my arm above my shoulder like to get my elbow up there.

 

What i want to see on future Tsx's is:

1. Cooling seats to replace heated ones.
2. A customizable greetings option on the MID
3. Cool looing key fob. If people dont see your car they look at your keys..so they have to look good.
4. An aluminum accent on the rear doors also...it looks boring in the back.
5. Auto passanger window and moon roof
6. Better turning radius.
7. Auto headlights
8. 6 speed auto with ss
9. The rear seat head rests can lay flat at a push of a button like my 96' Merc C-class
10. Auto wind-shield wipers
11. Turbo and gas mileage like an A4

I dont know am i greedy enough?

 

A bit more power, tighter turn radius

 

I did, but not an Acura's lame player. I had hardwired 40 gig MP3 player a few years back. But, when MP3s are so common and even cheap players can read them, it is a poor excuse for a luxury car maker to make it an accessory or require you to provide your own. A CD player should not require much more then a firmware update to decode MP3s.

 

Tell that to MB who still requires you to pony up money for a CD changer.

 

how about a turbo and RWD.

or I would just be happy with a tsx with the euro r engine and tranny and the throttle cable system instead.

 

 

Note that it's not even an in-dash CD changer...

 

Heated/cooled steering wheel and shift knob!

 

well it's surprising how TSX doesn't have an auto headlight

 

well i use iTunes to burn my cd's n i load them in my player and they play. Its the stock player. I think acura says it doesnt work because maybe not all formats work.
