anyone tested door unlock/lock via Acuralink app?
My cousin said he recently took his 3 yr old son and 1 yr old daughter on a road trip in his Buick Enclave. At a rest stop, he got out of the car and his son locked the doors and wouldn't unlock them. He started panicking but then realized he could call OnStar to unlock the doors for him.
I see that the MDX offers this remote lock/unlock feature via their Acuralink app. It appears you have to subscribe to the mid-tier package to get this service. Can anyone comment on how well it works? Is there a distance limit, or can I be across the country and have this work?

+1! Just waiting for the remote start functionality to be added in...then again given the recent hack of these new cars maybe NOT having the remote start available is a good thing...NAH!

I just purchased 2014 mdx advanced that comes with remote start. I called Acura and they gave me 3 months of free trial of the highest tier they offer ( don't remember the name at this time ) , I just had to give them my cc # and make sure to cancel before 3 months passes. The application works nicely , I could get all of the info of the car on me Samsung Galaxy s3 , was able to flash the lights but when I tried unlocking the car it did not worked for some reason. Have to play with it some more and see if it works.

+1. I also would love to see the remote start functionality added to the Acuralink service. It would seem that all the pieces are there such as the mobile connectivity and full connection to the MDX's computer as evidenced by the extensive list of diagnostics that we get from the app.
