1. No. Would be a cool add-on.
2. No. Would be an amazeballs add-on!
3. No problems with my iP6+ on the latest iOS release.

Oh Acura! I really don't understand why they don't offer the ability to start the car remotely via the app. After all, I believe they using the GM's OnStar system for AcuraLink, and this is a feature offered by OnStar and on many other cars. It would be really nice to hit the start button and begin cooling the car as I walk out of the office after one of Southern California's record 100+ degree days.

Advance package (2016+) have two way remote start. I too found it odd they chose not to offer remote start via smartphone app.

The RL used OnStar. Acuralink in modern Acuras uses a different system IIRC. Even so, you are right about that feature being useful. I can start my wife's Enclave from the OnStar smartphone app.

I just found the following video from Acura on Apple CarPlay.

youtu.be/Icz-5vB71CU

Does the 2016 and newer RLX's have this feature?

Also, can someone provide the measurements of the truck height (from the trunk floor to the trunk's ceiling)?

Thanks,

No Carplay in any RLX yet. While it'd be nice to have it, we get on without it pretty well.

Wow, I've not seen a Car Play demo before. Very slick.
