Not able to customize Multi-Information Display
My Multi-Information Display says "Driver unknown'customize' impossible" even though i use my remote transmitter to unlock my doors. Has anyone ever had this problem or knows how to fix it?

I think basically it turns on/off the transmission of whether the remote is Driver 1 or Driver 2 (the remotes still work if the FOB's are unlinked...and TSX's without memory link can only use the remote if it's left unlinked).

I had a lot of trouble getting this working too.. I think the manual says to push both the lock & unlock at the same time until the light blinks twice, open and close the drivers side door, lock and unlock the car with the remote, and you should see "Welcome Driver 1" after you turn the ignition on.. you only see "Welcome" when you open the door and will not see "Driver 1/2" until you turn the ignition on.
What I found was that if the remote blinked twice, it was unlinking the remote.. if I repeated the procedure and it gave me a single blink, it was linked. Honestly, I thought the manual could be a little bit clearer on this. I also looked for details on this in the 2000+ page service manual, and the only thing I was able to find was how to get the car to recognize a new/replacement remote transmitter, and it was only half of a page.

Make a hole, coming thru!
Also, as per p. 85 (of the 2006 manual), if you use the key to open the driver's door, you get the DRIVER UNKNOWN "CUSTOMIZE" IMPOSSIBLE (an awkward error message if I say so).

Dave: Open the driver's side door, TSX.
TSX: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave: What's the problem?
TSX: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
(...it could go on, but that's enough...)

^ Bastard beat me to it....
"Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency trunk release."
"Without your LED key fob, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult...."
I've been tempted to print up the Zero Gravity Toilet instructions as an aluminum label. As it is, I have a couple of aluminum vinyl labels I've bought off a Star Trek senior illustrator, just looking for a place to put one. "Danger: Plasma Manifold" over the not an ashtray?

Seems like others have broken into the navi and made customizations... I wonder where the text for the MID is stored? If you could find it and it was on rewritable flash memory it could be updated... I don't have the time to pursue this though but it would be a fun (and probably free) mod!

fobs don't blink when I press lock/unlock
I'm trying tofto get my06 tsx todto recognize driver 1 or 2 so ibI can get into the customizing menu .I press lock/unlock together on either of my key fobs and nothing. No blinks at all when both are pressed. Both fobs work fine to look or unlock the doors and roll down the windows ECT. But I've been trying to get this to work for days I've searched everywhere I can find . Does anyone else have this issue? Or is there something broken somewhere? I've also found that my hfl Bluetooth it now functional. When I press the back or ,talk buttons once/together/for 5 or 10 seconds .. And a dozen other ways I've got nothing. Any advice?
