There are people who's names are literally attached to some rather polarizing opinions. If I was in HR I would totally be on Facebook and Youtube and not hire people who act a fool on those mediums, lol.
I read the forums daily, but I almost always lurk. Mostly because I mostly post when I feel that I can add something constructive to a thread.

As a side note, most HR people do watch employees on facebook. Just remember that you don't have privacy when you are working on a work computer.

I'm going to say that I am 99.8% sure that port bypasses the factory headunit's EQ settings because my stereo sounds amazing off the tablet. The sub in the trunk plays a full range of sound for a sub, not just a partial 30-42hz range.

Anyway... happy friday. I'm at 63 hours for the week when I punched in this morning... but i'm not salary
please post pics! Is the Aux port a 3.5mm jack? hmm, I gotta try that...wonder how it works if you've got a usb jack running though.

Our ILX is very well blocked from rain: the fog light housing, the fender well, and the cover underneath the engine block any water from coming in. There is the intake vent near the foglight, but that doesn't point to where the filter would be.
I know it's unlikely, my CAI on my mustang was in the fenderwell and when I hit that huge flooded part of my street I could hear the filter sound change when half of it went under water.. No hydrolock there luckily.. but if it were the AEM for example it would of been completely covered and for longer than just a second. That's the scenario that scares me. I may have to go with the K&N just because sacrificing a few horsepower is better than losing power completely right? I know it would be a rare thing if it happened but it WOULD happen to me of all people, Speed.. lol

If you order the AEM, I will order the K&N.
You first though, haha...

I'm at work and cant snag a picture, but this picture is what motivated me to do the whole thing. The car is an ILX, the tablet is a Google Nexus 7. I put mine in the cup holder closest to the arm rest as well so its not close to the shifter at all.

I should say to, I have an automatic 2.0L premium so I don't have to fight a manual transmission.



The other option for mounting is up on the dash using a CD-Slot mount, but I didn't know how secure that would hold. It's a mount that locks into the cd-drive and can hold up to a 10" tablet

The audio portion looks similar to this. I have mine setup without playlists, so it shows all the albums like the Apple products do which i like.

That's what I have in mine. Quad Core Processor, 32gb of memory for music and apps. Tether wifi off my phone for GPS and internet when needed.

Looks good (like a giant ipod) and is quick to remove from the car.

You can actually also use DashCommand.

So.. At the Acura dealer getting my Paint Butler application, oil change and tire rotation.. The RLX has grown a great deal on me and I really respect Acura for not trying to copy Audi on the headlights like everyone (even Honda) else.. The ILX body kit/spoiler is a must...

Damn. how many miles are you at bud? I agree with you on the headlights. Then again. I took a look at infiniti's incomnig Q50's headlights. I'm loving it.

I'm hoping to grab at least the spoiler next month..So if yall have a white ILX, you'll be able to see the spoiler without the whole body kit.

BTW. How bout dem lakers. Keepin it tight at #8

They're actually tied with Utah jazz. I think Utah has the 8th spot currently.
Doesn't matter though neither will make it out the first round.

I was planning on getting just the spoiler at first on my PMM.

I have 8,500 miles.. I believe I bought my car at the end of November.

Possibly moving closer to jumping on an ILX.
Wife hit her goals & is qualified for a big bonus. Should help us get a few things paid off & get us closer to a new car.
