Car was busted up on the inside and you could see it had been hit on the passenger side front. Not to mention it was a smokers car. Oh well.

So you found a new car man, sweet! Low miles for the year, looks to be in pretty good shape. Better check up on that maint and make sure its had a timing belt. If not, better put one on!

Definitely won't see herself drive by often. Partial as I am to the 2G TLs and CLs, 1G cars give off a vibe of being built to a higher standard IMO. Good luck.

Had a little accident with them so I'm trying to prevent it from getting all foggy.

Did all of that stop working at once? I though it was just the a/c. Does your screen light up for the a/c and radio? Post a pic of the dash so I can see what your talking about. The more descriptive and specific the better I can help you. It would be diff if I was in person so I could understand what's going on

Sounds like you popped a fuse somewhere Danny. I would start with that. Fuse should be inside the kickpanel on the vehicle.

Just bought an 07 RDX a few weeks ago. Awesome vehicle! My other car is a 13 Corvette Grand Sport, but I wanted to upgrade from my little 04 TSX for my daily driver. I'm very happy with the RDX so far. Picked it up from Goodson Acura, was sold new there and was a one owner trade in. High mileage, but got a great deal on it.

Yes, wondering if there is a local shop that can tune the RDX, otherwise I'll just buy a FlashPro for it.

Your going to have to buy a Hondata FlashPro to tune reguardless, you cant just tune the stock ecu without it. You will get base maps with it, but if you want a custom tune then you will have to have someone tune it from there. You can send a copy of your tune via internet and someone can modify it and send it back. If its anything like the TL, you wont gain much HP or TQ at all, just better driveability. I dyno'd at 210whp to the wheels with only XLR8 Quad exhaust on my 07. Vietxquangsta here in Dallas has HFPC, J-pipe and full exhaust + a Hondata FlashPro that was tuned Via online many times and he's pushing 230whp to the wheels. 20hp over me and 2k more invested. Are you trying to get more power or better driveability?
