Now if you could get a time/dated printout to show the cop or the judge that would really be something!!!

There isn't much in the TSX that is exclusive to the TSX. I had an 04 and just picked up my brand new 06 yesterday. New things I've found are Bluetooth, fog lights, new materials on the center console around the shifter, a new shift knob on automatic, and a little more power. I also like the new fascias. Another thing I noticed is that the spedo numbers are slanted now, when they were not before.

Wouldn't it be cool if Honda/Acura put night vision as a gadget on the Acura cars sometime soon?

And I know they're not just trying to help me not lose my gas cap by "attaching" that plastic tie thing to it.

Then I decided to take a break from my consternation and remember the engineer's credo, "Sometimes simplest is best" and poof! It all became so clear and everything fit into place. Imagine my joy in solving what for me was an annoying conundrum. So did I smile in satisfaction in a mystery solved? Did I jump in delight of "man defeats the plastic thingy?"

No I did not. I must be truthful hear. No false bravado. No "had it all the way" chest pounding. I simply did what most all of us would do when finding such a simple solution to what by now I had described as "how could Honda be so stupid not to..."

No. I just quickly looked around to see if anyone had noticed my "dog staring at itself in the mirror" moment. That little lightning bolt of perspective telling me that the jokes on me and "was anyone laughing?"

I offer this little humbling tale so as to better illustrate a long ago learned life lesson. "Brain farts are best served cold."

AKA - Don't get your panties in a bunch. Ya gotta smile. I do. Every time I fill up my gas tank.
I definitely felt like a dolt when I read that, but now I can't wait until I have to get gas so I can try it out!

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the 06 trunk closes and opens with a more luxurious sound now. my 04 made a junky metal sound when it opened and closed.

That's because he means "Hold map + menu + CANCEL button altogether for about 3 sec" not "setup" button.

Does it work now?
