I noticed some new things with the electronics, and I think the timing coincides with when Acura updated the software to provide us with the oh-so-helpful animation (yay) when changing driving modes. I’m wondering if others have noticed.

1 - when “reading” a group text message, the vehicle no longer reads off all the names and numbers, which is good, but in selecting a message to read, it no longer displays the contact name, just the number. Yes, these are contacts with names saved in my phone.

2 - when a phone call comes in, I used to be able to answer or ignored using the left side steering wheel control. This is no longer an option, and I must use the touch pad.

3 - if I use the apps button on the steering wheel to select audio input, the song playing is displayed on he dash (as well as the center display). However, the song displayed on the dash never changes from the song that was on when the input was selected.

Anyone else notice this behavior? Any suggestions?

Thankd.

 

I have no idea about 1 and 3 but I had my wife call me this morning to try out #2. It displayed on the HUD with the option to answer using the steering wheel control and I was able to answer with no problem. We are also on the latest update so I don't think that is your problem.
