One of my customers just had backup sensors added to his MDX. The install required 4 ~1" sized holes to be cut. Our service department did an outstanding job, the bumper looked like it had come that way from the factory.

 

Cool, thank you for the story. Where is the indicator? Is it LED or audible in the car?

Can the sensor be installed in the front?

How do they line-up the cuts to be sure they are perfeclty aligned across the back bumper?

 

It is audible and can be turned off via a button near the rear door. The sensors are spaced using a template that fits over the bumper. It took about 3 hours on the MDX but there was nothing really complicated.

 

Backup Sensors

I put sensors in my Sequoia that mounted behind the bumper.

 

Simpler but less effective sensors can be mounted in the license plate frame. These are a simple wiring job and only about $50. I bought one some time ago but have been too lazy to install it...

Cool. It is something I want, but am afraid to have anyone cut the bumper.

Do you have any before and after MDX pics?

 

The Brembos are standard on the 6-speed, and aren't available on the auto. The upgrade that is involved with the A-spec for the automatic models is the swapping of the pads, not the calipers. Sorry to spoil the fun for you slushbox users.

 

MAN! SHHHH! Dont tell me that..

Let me think I have brembos!

Do you have a idea to how much teh A-Spec Package is more? $2-3k?

 

You can have Brembos, if you ask someone to teach you to drive stick!

I think the 6MT also plays MP3's. That is a joke to everyone that is not 2004TL.

 

That will be a big bill, Teach my dad, mom, and me!

Anyways I know I can learn, but I dont want it..

Its a family car, I am not gonna keep it as a race car, I can't go in traffic with 6 Speed..

I am trying to buy a nice luxurious car with a smooth ride, not a sports car..

6MT plays MP3's WHAT?

 

I used the Rostra system
