Great video. Thanks for posting! Yes, the previous generation RDX had the lock button in the tailgate. It's farther from the open/close button than on the '19. It also included side mirror defrost with tailgate defrost.

41 psi is a lot of tire pressure. Is that normal? The 2G Advance was 35F/33R.

I realized it was high and brought it down. Shipped high from the factory and the dealership probably never lowered it like they were supposed to

What is the pressure supposed to be? The one I drove had 45 psi all the way around and handled like crap in sport mode. It seems everyone else's videos show 41 psi also.

Do the interior lights fade in when the door is opened at night or do the lights just turn on instantly?

All models should have a sticker on the drivers door jamb just below the latch that shows maximum loads and recommended tire pressures.

Mine was delivered with over inflated tires too.

The car ships from the factory with overinflated tires to prevent flat spots during shipment. Service bulletin 19-023 pre-delivery inspection was never done. You also likely to have large open holes in your frame rails with missing plugs and clips creating road noise and rattles. Those holes were used during shipment as well. Looks like the dealer cheated you to save a few pennies and let you drive away with dangerously over inflated tires, future rattles and road noise. They should have put a pre-delivery checklist inside your owners manual listing the 15 items to be performed during this service having been signed off and checked and initialed by the service technician. Lexus does this. Dealers can be skank. Print this out and show it to them. Search this forum for that service bulletin ( different number for 2019 model year ) and print it out. Don’t let them “just” apologize. In business the only real apology has monetary compensation as punishment. I received two free tanks of gas, a mini car detail, three oil changes, and a $200 service credit when I threatened to report to Acura what they were systematically doing to their customers. Look it up. Good luck. It is disgusting how businesses try to grub every single penny they possibly can at our expense.

I'm pretty sure the dealer skipped almost all the inspection on my '19 advanced. No PDI sheet in the owners manual or any of the papers I have. When I got home I noticed the car still had the protective plastic on the A-pillars. I've looked under the car and can see quite a few holes in the frame rails, Are they all supposed to have plugs?? Does anyone have a Delivery inspection sheet the techs use that shows the location of where the plugs should go?

Thanks

Thanks for the info, I'm pretty sure those holes are empty but will have to look again to be sure.
