I love Alex and his reviews, but not being aware of any infotainment issues sounds like my local Acura dealer...."first I have heard of that".

He doesn’t own a RDX, nor is he a member of this forum. So understandable.

He does own a model 3.....

Alex is great he gives a no bull straight facts approach to his channel... I go to other channels for laughs, for drag races, for lap times but Alex just gives a drive and lays out all the facts that the marketing brochures gloss over.

He sold the Model 3, there’s a video on it. His big thing now appears to be the RAV4 Hybrid.

I understand that he can't follow every car for every detail, but this is an issue that is not a secret to just this forum or owners. I actually think that his brain first went to the controller pad vs the glitches....or at least my brain went to the glitches and not tti.
Well, at least we know about it.

The infotainment was an issue, but since D1.2.1 the issue has been largerly under control. I wonder what is going to happen to the lawsuit now it becomes somewhat obsolete...

Not for me. I can’t use Carplay for 10 minutes before it freezes, and a few minutes later, restarts.

The Acura rep told me to do a factory reset, and see if that works. If not, go to the dealer.

Since we are driving home next week, I will wait till then to try it. But by any measure, Carplay for me is now a failure, and Acura clearly has no clue why. “Reset to factory specs, and hope it works” is not a solution.

Yeah, you need to do the reset.

If it helps, think of it as <ctrl> <alt> <del>

I have done the three button reset, no luck.

I decided last night not to wait and did the System Reset from the menus. It will be a couple of days before I go on a trip of any length, so I will see then.

Even if it works, I consider the implementation of the software to be a problem as I have had several other issues, like transmission refusing to upshift, drive mode stuff, etc., that went away after the car slept and restarted.

A year and a half after these cars have hit the road is long enough for software to be fixed.
