The AAWireless - and man, it was a long wait. Works great, but I think there are others more readily available now.

 

Is that the "crowed sourced" developed one? Do I have that correct? I have the Motorola MA1, works great also. Hard to catch it in stock, but I guess I got lucky, just a few weeks and it arrived, much earlier than the sale confirmation indicated.

 

Yes, that's the one. Seems like I ordered it last June or July and finally received it in February.

 

hmmm...wonder if there are decent Apple Carplay versions....

 

Strange as I added a new contact in my cell phone yesterday to get the navigation system guide me to this place.
Even before I thought at deconnecting/reconnecting my phone in the car, I opened the cell and the new contact was there, showing the new phone# and address!
I checked another contact (the one that is showing only the phone# but not the address) and the adress is still missing. I made a deconnect/reconnect again and the address is still missing.
It confirms again that electronics are not Acura's forte, far from it.

 

Correct. I did not buy the RDX for the Acura Nav or phone interface, that's for sure. I have CarPlay on the screen 99.9% of the time. I tried the Acura Nav a couple times just out of curiosity and will never try it again.

 

... until you want to hear 5.1, which is awesome...

 

Same here. Anybody buying an Acura for its electronics should requestion his/her buying criterias.
However, while I'm not expecting top-of-the-world experience, I, at least, expect a system that works without flaws or bugs. That's not the case for me (ie: my car has bugs and flaws)

I think the Navi system works quite good. What irritates me are details like the impossibility to rename saved favorites. Any cheap GPS can easily do this. Even my wife's 2019 CR-V do this in a heartbeat. I would prefer to have 2019 C-RV's navigation in my RDX.
I'm not found of having to use a cell phone to patch the working failures of a car... Also, I often don't carry my cell phone with me.
But that's surely only me and my old age as I'm not judging anyone for sure.

 

LOL, I am older than you, and I carry my cell phone almost everywhere. NOT so people can contact me, but so I can contact someone (anyone) if I need help! ;-)

 

Just an update, when I asked the service advisor about replicating phone contacts, he said needing to unpair and then pair the phone is how the system is dupposed to work. What a POS.
