I dont see that feature in the 2019 RDX and wondered how can you lock the RDX from the back without using the key fob.
Any ideas or observations?
You can configure the locking system in your “settings” to simply lock the doors as you walk away, as long as the key fob is in your pocket. No need to reach for your key fob. It’s a great feature. The car beeps to confirm it’s locked.

Hou-RL - There is a button on the tailgate. On page 151 of the manual is shows a button.

It retains Sport or Comfort if those were the previous modes.

Owner's Manual Pg. 427

• If Comfort mode or Sport mode was previously registered, Comfort mode or Sport mode will be reactivated.

• If Snow mode was previously registered, the drive mode will be changed to Comfort mode.

• If Sport+ mode was previously registered, the drive mode will be changed to Sport mode.

No. And the MID dash display ( between the gauges ) doesn't give turn instructions like it does for the Acura nav, it just says "Apple CarPlay active".

Billy,

Thanks! I had a good look at the RDX today and drove and Advance and an A-Spec. I l prefer the Advance but they didnt have my color preference available. If so, I may have purchased one today against my better judgement. They wanted to locate or trade but the Gunmeatal Metallic seems to be more difficult to obtain at this time. They said the earliest would be 7/4 to get it in but said they could not guarantee that car. I just got up told the Sales guy call me when you have it on the lot to sell.
I must admit the color options suck and they had limited Advance options in town currently. Back to the waiting and I will stay away form the dealer until they stock up.

You are very welcome. I couldn't wait last week, so we ordered a Modern Steel Metallic. Hopefully it will be in by the end of July.

Are they willing to discount over $2K yet? Saw a youtube the other day which implied the lots will have more of the ‘19’s on them in July. We’re still holding out (and purposely staying away from the temptation of the dealership).

Not really. They are trying to stay around $2K.

Good to know. We’re still planning on waiting til Nov/Dec unless something changes their discount strategies or we cave . Trying to stay strong . Good thing is we have a great running sedan (Acura), so there’s no urgent need and Nov/Dec will be here before ya know it.
