Bugs and glitches within the infotainment system
I found that my MDX sometimes will not allow access to the voice recognition. When the button is pressed the voice portal screen will come up but no voice prompts are available. If I turn off the car and restart it will work again. Also I have an issue where the phone contacts and call history will not display on the MID screen but will display on the main screen. Has anyone had these issues or other issues with the infotainment system?

He just hasn't spend enough time using all the functions and features on his new MDX.
The more voice-command/touch-screen/HVAC/radio/DVD/BT/navi functions he uses, the more surprises he'll find.

I had a 14 mdx service loaner for two days. I sat in my garage and utilized every function on the two screens. I was very disappointed on the performance and quality. It is a shame because otherwise, I would buy one.

I am pleased with the 2014 MDX. I only found a few issues like I stated above. By the way, I thought this forum was going to be for insight and sharing information. I didn't think I would have to spend time defending my opinions.

We're just giving you a friendly head start warning that the more you play with the "voice-command/touch-screen/HVAC/radio/DVD/BT/navi" functions, the more bugs and glitches (like those you just found) you will find.

I have to say that the 2014 MDX is not the worst vehicle I have owned as far as electronics goes. It is one of the best. I happen to like it and so do lots of other people. It is very technical and that is what I like. It takes a bit to figure out where everything is but once you figure it out it makes sense. A few years ago I traded a 2009 Lexus Lx570 that had the very worst voice control and a limited nav system but it was simple to use. Maybe less features makes things better for some people?

I feel the need...
Acura needs to spend some time refining this system and moving commonly used HVAC controls back to ergonomic physical buttons.
Another beef, entering addresses via touchscreen is annoyingly slow.

It's pretty sad when I get the same boilerplate BS from a regional manager that I do from the first-level jackoffs.

My only complaint is the voice command recognition..the infotainment screen is pretty simple to to use and not slow to me... My car was built 12/13..you would think with this latest mdx Honda would be able to fix software issues.. In three years of ownership of my 2011 mdx not one software fix was applied but hey the car was in its 5th year..

Cruisin'
so far so good on my end - I find the gauge cluster information screen and vehicle settings incredibly well thought-through and functional, they've really adopted the click-wheel methodology well.
on the other hand, voice commands seem clunky most of the time, and probably the slowest way to do anything at all. I will stick with using the touchscreen or, even better, the steering wheel-mounted click wheel.
Two questions:
has anyone figured out how to get album art displayed on either screen when playing a CD or the HDD? Shouldn't this be part of the gracenote feature?
Also - I ripped a couple CDs into the HDD yesterday. All said 'album info found' but only one of the CDs actually got named and had track names - the other CD just showed 'Unknown title' for each track and the album name. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I don't intend to minimize anyone's pain/annoyance, but, another option/suggestion (And this is the one I use) is to sign up for the 'Connect' package and enter your addresses via web browser or the Acura Connect app and then 'send to car.' This has been awesome for me and saves a ton of time. The only thing I have to do then is 'Save to Address Book' if it's necessary. Just a thought/suggestion/alternative.

Acura is an arrogant bunch of assholes to charge for this - especially considering that the latest generation of navigation is complete and utter garbage.

Too many, perhaps a first world problem. But to me, an unneeded aggravation.

I feel like the navi system in the '14 MDX is not much different from the one I had in my '05 TL almost 10 years ago!!!
