Just picked up a slightly used 2019 RDX Advance last weekend and noticed something odd - the turn signals and parking sensors appear to be functioning correctly but there is no audible sounds for either. The turn signals are completely silent and the parking sensor displays the warning indicators but there are no beeps. I reset the system volume settings in the infotainment center to no avail and I'm not seeing anything online or in the manual about being able to adjust the volume settings for either the turn signals or the parking sensors.
Thanks, I was not aware of that method. Will try that this evening and report back. In the meantime, I'm open to any other suggested solutions in case the reboot doesn't fix the problem.
You can adjust the sound level of the turn signals. I have done it 4 times already!! See above post.
Unfortunately, no luck with the 3-button reboot or the System Volume setting - tried that initially (and again after the reset) with no luck. The feedback sounds from the Infotainment certainly adjusts, but no effect on the volume of the turn signals or parking sensors.

Anyone have any ideas?
My guess is that the GCM (Gauge Control Module aka "instrument cluster") is faulty and will need to be replaced. I believe that's where the speaker that reproduces the sounds you mentioned is located. Hopefully the dealer will be able to get the dash back together without damage, rattles, or "extra parts".
Yeah, if the software approach fails, hardware is next. Hard to believe someone would trade-in a car that's less than a year old. ( cough...zroger... cough ).

When I first saw "just picked up a slightly used 2019 RDX Advance", I couldn't help but wonder if they had bought my lemon then realized that my turn signal and parking sensor sounds worked fine.
Do you get a full warrenty on a used car, seems like a lot of places I went you got like a 2000 mile 30 day warrenty then your on your own
All factory warranties and the Honda/Acura Care extended warranty are fully transferrable to subsequent owners at no cost. The 4/50 new vehicle limited warranty and the 6/70 powertrain warranty still apply to subsequent owners the same as they did to the original owner.
If the dealer sold it as a Certified Pre-Owned, then the powertrain warranty gets extended to 7/100 and the non-powertrain coverage gets extended to 5/62.
Buying a CPO Acura or Honda less than a year old with fewer than 12,000 miles actually gets you a longer warranty than when buying new.

ok good, I think the ones I saw were on Subaru’s but they were like 2-4 years old cars
To close the loop out here, apparently there is a small speaker in the instrument cluster that produces the audio for the turn signals, parking sensors, seat belt alerts, starting "fanfare" as one poster put it, etc. - this was the problem on my car. Dealer replaced the cluster under warranty, had the car for about 5 business days. Dealer said it is the first 2019 RDX they've had this issue on so they had to get Acura techs involved in the diagnosis.

Wow. I shudder to think what that would cost out of warranty. 😱
$800 + $200 labor = $1,000 if a dealer does it. $600 if you buy it online and replace it yourself.
In the olden days, DIY replacement of an instrument cluster would have been frowned upon because of that little thing called an odometer. Words like "fraud" tend to get thrown around when that gets tampered with.
Having said that, I'm not sure where the odometer data gets stored in this "modern" rolling mainframe computer. But if data needs to be transferred to a new module, I'm quite sure it would require a proprietary HDS scanner.

Odometer data is stored in both the GCM and ECM on current Hondas. However, the GCM does not obtain the odometer data from the ECM. Yes - an HDS is required to transfer odometer (and Maintenance Minder) data from the old GCM to the new GCM.
