I've had my new RDX Advance for a little over a week and I love it (despite already popping a flat tire). But I have two questions I can't find answers to. First, when I shut my tailgate sometimes the car beeps once when its shut, and other times it beeps multiple times like a warning sound. What does this mean?

Second, in the multi-information display I swear there used to be a Navigation screen. Now it is not an option. The manual says this screen is only on certain models. Perhaps it was on the Tech I test drove, but I swear I was looking at it the first few days of owning my Advance. Am I mistaken -- is it perhaps not on the Advance because of the HUD?

 

Mine has done that a few times, and I've hypothesized (but haven't yet confirmed) that it occurs when I've walked beyond the auto-lock perimeter before the hatch was finished closing, and the urgent warning chime is meant to warn me that it can't auto-lock.

 

You are correct- multiple beeps indicate that there is an error (key not within 5’ of car when all doors/tailgate shut, etc) and the car will not auto lock. If it beeps once the system is ready to auto lock once you walk away.
Heres a YouTube video you can reference to for auto lock information:

 

It is on the advance as well. It is between the trip computer and maintenance. I didn't play around too much with it, but it MiGHT only appear after you have entered a destination in the Navigation system. At first I didn't see it. Then I entered a destination, then it showed up with the next turn. I cancelled the NAV and then this screen showed up. So try entering a destination and routing and then look for it. Again, this is my theory I didn't have time to verify this right now.

 

 

 

Yes. I have cycled through all of the screens in the MID multiple times. I have all of the other screens - just not the navigation screen. I thought maybe it was because I have the Sport+ display set to always on (to show the turbo gauge etc.) but I turned that off and it still does not show up as an option. It is baffling me. It's not a huge deal, but I do like the big compass.

 

That compass in the center Navigation screen will be replaced by a turn by turn Navigation instruction, once you entered a destination in the Navigation infotainment screen .
If you dont have a destination entered , then that screen change back to a compass.
And that center turn by turn Navi screen is on the Tech , A-spec and Advance , but not on the basic .
Basically its on the RDX that has a built in Navigation option in the infotainment

 

I believe in the Advance model it will show up in the HUD and not the MID.
