Hi guys!

I just got my CG TSX '06!!!
^.^

One thing I was so looking forward to, was the "one-touch moon-roof" feature!

I tested it .. and I had to hold it to open!!

Checked the manual .. it said I had to "hold" the button down ...

Could any other 2006 TSX owner verify if there is indeedly a "one-touch moon-roof" feature??
Is the Canadian version different??!@!

Thx!

That sux! I wanted to mod the 05 using the 06 parts.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your still only touching it ONCE

narci

HAHAHAHA good one dom hahaha

I only used the sunroof...once in the past 8 months I owned my car.

I ain't using my moonroof until spring at least. It's too bloody cold right now. Well, I will if we get one of those occasional 20C or higher days in mid-Dec again.

The moonroof is NOT one-touch on my '06 either.

ninjamyst

hmm...so no one-touch moonroof, no powered lumbar support, and no memory mirrors....i guess all those are coming in 2007 or 2008?

What gave you guys the impression that the moonroof would be one-touch?

And I haven't even thought about my moonroof since the weather has been too bloody cold lately to possibly put it to use.

I think the '06 brochure or the website mentioned "one touch moonroof"...

Yui

The website had alluded as such in the interactive showroom, under the overhead controls section. Let me quote it:

Moonroof Design
For fresh ventillation and to minimize turbulence, touch the controls and open the power moonroof. Tinted glass and a sliding sunshade help control radiant heat when the sun is overhead.

When I touch something, I don't expect to have to hold it down for 5 seconds for it to do its thing. So it's a bit of a letdown, but nothing a little modding couldn't cure =)

I think Acura should take a page out of VW for moonroof operation.
Just sat in a friend's new Jetta and the moonroof is controlled by a dial with different presets.
Each notch on the dial represents a certain distance that the moonroof will open.

Kor

Ya, went back to the dealer, tried it on the demo TSX'06 .. have to hold the button ..

Grrr ..
(Spoiled by my BMW :P)

Yeah that is a sweet design. I like how they will go all the way back and stop, then you can hold the dial for the extra couple inches and the glass and cover completely disappear into the roof. At least on the 04. I'd assume it's the same still.

Does holding it for 5 sec really gonna hurt you?
I know sometimes it might be inconvenient but come on 5 sec?
IMO

Step up to the TL and you will get the one touch open and close.

I find myself closing the sunroof a lot on the highway, because I don't want to listen to the wind and the road noise. It's left hand operated, so I have to look down for it because it's not so easy to find (I don't have the best sense of touch-n-go in my left hand cause I'm right handed). So for 5 seconds I'm kinda reaching over to my left in an awkward position holding down the button, maneuvering my head a bit because the steering wheel blocks a direct view from my normal driving posture, and focusing on the sound of the wind dropping out as the sunroof closes, and processing all of the traffic going on around me on the highway. That's just not the most ergonomic design in the world, don't you think?

It wouldn't be so bad if it were in the center console area and I was using my right hand to operate it, but because I'm forced to use my left, it just feels awkward. It also wouldn't be so bad if it was left hand and one touch.

If you can't coordinate your hands to operate the moonroof while driving, I think you're going to run into a few problems when driving stick

kyotousa

^^^^lol...that's so true.....
1 touch is cool......but it's not that hard to close the moonroof tho .....=_=||| haha

i use moonroof when weather is nice and chill ........like right now

Yui

Haha, I realize that It's not that I can't, but more of why should I have to? I guess the other thing is I haven't used the sunroof enough to do it without looking, maybe use it once every 2 weeks or so. I'm planning on modding it into a one-touch anyhow.

Irfo

Once your finger's on it, holding the button's not very distracting. Finding it in the first place is the real problem, especially with that close array of three little buttons.

So... why can't I voice-command the moonroof? And the windows, and locks, and mirror heaters and dimmers...

Probably don't want to pop the hood with a voice command, though...

Yui

That'll be standard on the 2012 TSX I'm sure...

Yui

Ok, I recant any issues I had with the sunroof not being one-touch. Just went out for a drive to look at a nearby house and it's pretty easy to see at night. Couple tries and I could get it by touch, without looking, left-hand notwithstanding. I guess the middle button helps it stand out, though I did notice that I had turned off VSA by accident in the process. And just for the record, it's only 3 seconds of holding it down. I must have been recalling one particular incident with the sunroof, probably when I had backseat passengers and had my seat shoved forward, requiring an awkward craning of the neck to see the button =)

My TSX has one-touch moonroof . . . just one looooong touch.

Tintin

Anyone moded their sunroof to work on '1 touch'?
Is that even possible?

peter_bigblock

To me, the inconvenient combination is the non-one touch (dom, great point on that!) and the awkward location. For me, it's easier to hold open when the controls are up by the sunroof. Especially having to reach with my left hand in a 6MT, it's just awkward and an odd location for sunroof controls. Especially odd for Honda given their usually bulletproof reputation for well-thought-out ergonomics.

Doesn't bug me, just an oddity. Nothing like scraping the shit out of your bumper with your garage door. (Sorry, can't let that go yet.)

I think KP Technologies is making something for the TSX that will convert the moonroof to one touch. Moda_way mentioned it in some of the threads for the auto window roll up module.

Where ya at Moda_way?
