Hey guys i just bought a 2009 tsx with tech package and i need help on resting like the whole car. it has like the previous owners memory in it and i wanna have like a clean wipe on it. I think i read somewhere that for the first like month the car shows you hints on stuff i want that too, do i need to go to the dealer and get it done or can i do it at home. if so how?

 

Try disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes

 

This operation clears the HFL of your passcode, your paired phones, all names in the HFL phonebook, and all imported phonebooks.

Clearing is recommended before you sell your vehicle.

Press and release the Talk button.

After the beep, say ‘‘System.’’ The HFL response is, ‘‘System options are setup and clear.’’

Press and release the Talk button.

After the beep, say ‘‘Clear.’’ The HFL response is, ‘‘This process will clear all paired phones, clear all entries in the phonebook, clear the passcode, and restore the defaults in the system setup. Is this what you would like to do?’’

Press and release the Talk button.

After the beep, say ‘‘Yes.’’ The HFL response is ‘‘Preparing to clear all paired phones, all phonebook entries, the passcode, and restore the defaults in the system setup. Say OK to proceed, otherwise say go back or cancel.’’

Press and release the Talk button.

After the beep, say ‘‘OK’’ to proceed, or say ‘‘Go back’’ or ‘‘Cancel.’’

If you said ‘‘OK,’’ the HFL response is, ‘‘Please wait while the system is cleared.’’ This may take up to 2 minutes to complete, then the HFL response is, ‘‘The system has been cleared. Returning to the main menu.’’

 

To reset AcuraLink, you will have to register with the dealer. There is a whole section in the Owner's Manual in the Features section, page 337. Basically, they will put you down as a new owner, and then you'll receive all the new messages that new owners get.
