2008 rdx
I have the 2008 base model--bought it new. It's been flawless in reliability and a blast to drive. It's black on black so I keep it spit shined and enjoy the whole package every day. You made a great purchase.

I had two perivous black car/truck that I couldn't keep up cleaning it. This RDX is a CPO with 22k on the clock so I'm hopeing things remain solid for the next 5 years...and I drive like a grandma so I should'nt worry. No, I take it back the turbo is too addicting to baby it! =)

Picked her up yesterday. Loving it so far. I don’t feel like posting up pictures because it’s the same thing if you already seen a White 08. But anyways, I have a question for the Bluetooth guru. I've search the forum but no luck. I have the T-mobile HD2 and I could not get it work properly. The phone automatically connects to the car but I would need to tell the phone to “switch to handfree” when I’m a call. It is because of my phone? I have no problem with the wife’s Accord. The call gets send to the car every time I send/receive a call.
Thanks in advance

Not all bluetooth is created equally. Check out this site to see if your phone is on the list. This site will also give you instructions to pair (if it is on the list).

I've been buying phones to fit my TSX/RDX instead of the other way around (kinda sucks).

Now that I have a terrific bluetooth package, I can consider using other models, and maybe even using my iPhone as a phone in the car.

When I got it my current Verizon phone at the time (LG8350) refused to sync to the Bluetooth. I called Acura and they had no clue as the LG8350 should have worked but it didn't. So I changed phones to an LG8360 and it works perfectly. Weird, so be it.

Congrats on your "new" CPO RDX. I too have a 2008. Bought new exactly two years ago today, June 24th, 2008. It is definitely a blast to drive and most fun vehicle I've even owned.

I didn't have time to play around today. hopeing I'll figure something out. it'll be a bit disappointing if this "tech" package doesn't work. At any rate, the "whoosee" noise from the turbo make the car all the worth while.

I've had 3 different blackberry models and had three different (minor) problems while trying to pair the phones (losing pair, call quality, not finding phone). You would think there should be a standard with bluetooth for all devices? Handsfree is a lot better than using the bluetooth ear piece for me.

Back from the dead!!
The RDX is finally mine. It’s a nice feeling to finally own a car and not make payments. Should I start the modding? Probably not. Time have change since the day of fast and furious. The only mods I look forward too now are armrest leather replacement or ipad holder for the kids. Such a shame but I’m sure a lot of you can relate. But after 71,xxx miles, 2 battery, 2 set of tires, a full brake job and some faulty sensors on the transmission, the car have been solid. I’m driving this forever.
Long live the ONLY Turbo-ed Acura(pending new NSX) on the road!

Hondata for $300+shipping was the best bang for the buck mod for my RDX. After +5yrs with this, I think I might have broken even and save some $$ on the 1-1.5 bump of mpgs because of the reflash after 100,000 miles.

I currently 71k on the odo. working from home and having a short commute helps. $300 is steep but will consider it as the only performance mods now. I just don't like the the fact that my car will be down during the process. Maybe there's a local dealer that can do it on the spot. But thanks for the tip.
