Thanks everybody!

I just found that right front seat heater is not working
Maybe it is because dealer changed the battery the same day I bought it? When I came to see the car, battery was dead

And lights for "volume" and "change track" buttons on steering wheel are not working.

Any ideas? Thanks!!

hello and welcome!

if its still under warranty i would try to have them fix the heater. even if not, i would still bitch and try to have them fix. the lights on the other hand, i would just ignore. they may fix them, but its a bitch to swap out so i doubt they will. i know people have done it themselves but if and when mine go out i will just try to ignore. either way, good luck and enjoy your new purchase!

Hi again. One more question:
I am trying to write my MP3 files to CD, but my disc player in a car cannot play it, it shows "Disc: Format", and word "Format" is blinking.

Also I tried to create Audio DVD with Nero, but not succcess

Please, advise me what do you do to create Audio DVD for Acura?

Thanks!

Welcome and nice color!! Prepare your wallet.

BTW, on the first pic, is that an OEM rim? Looks strange, don't know is the angle of the shot, but the area where the valve is looks different.

Nice pickup there.
Ahhh thats what mine looked like over a year ago. Like others have said before...get ready to open the wallet if you hang around here for a while.
Good luck with the new found problems...

For some reason, I agree.

Yes- that is the OEM rim for the cars ('06+) with the TPMS.

Congrats and welcome. You may be able to resist the mod bug for a while, but it will get to you...

Even smaller, more subtle mods can make a big difference. Biggest bang for buck wise is probably the aspec bodykit (Tim @ hondacuraworld has hooked many of us up)

Hmm, I don't know if the rims are OEM. I think so.
Do you think rims are not originals?

They have their share of problems but they're generally very dependable and excellent all around.. he meant in terms of modifications you'll want to do to it..

Oh, ok
I don't think I will do "performance" mods. Maybe a little visual mods.
