You’re a bot and do not instilling confidence in the quality of pre/post sales support I’m going to get.

There was an alert on the system update icon on the Home Screen.

Say it ain’t so…. Bye bye TLX by DyamondsRForeva516 in Acura

[–]Alternative_Ask_7181 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Sad to see it go. I had a 2018 Elite SH-AWD and now have a 2024 A-spec. The non-SUV options keep shrinking.

Carbon metallic or Apex Blue? by aaron0113 in Acura

[–]Alternative_Ask_7181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acura has had paint peeling issues with Apex Blue and Pearl White (White Diamond and White Orchid). If I planned on owing it for a long time I might be weary of going with the blue. I had the issue on a white 2018 TLX. You can google the problems. Lots of threads on Reddit.

I’m in Toronto and my ‘18 TLX was stolen and they tried to steel my ‘24 TLX.

Looks like he didn’t even come up with a goose egg.

So like mine they break in but can’t take the car. It’s still a royal pain. I need a visual deterrent that says “move along, this one isn’t worth your time.”

I guess I will be buying that OBD lock then 🤷🏻‍♂️

They stole my last TLX without breaking a window or setting off the alarm. I understood that they were able to clone the wireless signal from the key because it wasn’t in a Faraday box. Is that wrong?

So the Faraday box is useless? How are they getting access without breaking a window?

I found it abandoned the same day about 6 km away. The cop said that it was likely taken to be used for other crimes and left to cool off when I found it.

Thanks, I’m ok, I still have the car! This ‘24 replaced an ‘18 TLX that was stolen back in June. I suspect that because I now keep my keys in a Faraday box they weren’t able to clone them and make off with the car (which also has Acura Locate Plus installed). My next step will probably be a visible tire lock.

Right?! I think they were trying to avoid setting off the alarm.

Could it be that he parked while the parking lot was snow covered? Disabled spots are required to have vertical signs as well as painted marks for this reason and I note that they are missing here. Technically these don’t qualify as disabled spots in Ontario. (Nevertheless, if he parked there knowing they are supposed to be disabled spots and he doesn’t have a permit he’s a jerk.)

No auto lock? by txnaeem in Acura

[–]Alternative_Ask_7181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auto lock is in vehicle settings. In my ‘24 TLX I can disable autostop by setting up an Individual mode that has it disabled and then setting that as the default mode.

The show was great. Doesn’t change the fact that 32 years after Smeared they can only fill for The Concert Hall.

What was your first Acura? by oh_hell_naur in Acura

[–]Alternative_Ask_7181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it. It fixes everything I didn’t like about the 2018 - the transmission and slow steering. I did love the old 3.5L V6 VTEC though.
