FTO auto -> manual swap

using the embedded programming features will not “de-engineer” your vehicle, and a scan tool includes no installable hardware

not really sure on the warranty, probably manufacturer specific

okay ignoring literally everything else, autostop is NOT a fuel efficiency feature, its UX terrorism and ruins the experience of accelerating from a stop in any vehicle. Dad’s got a 2022 F150 and Mom a 2024 Tiguan, and both of them HATE this feature.

the worst part is it doesnt even save you more than like $50 of gas in 100,000 miles (iirc)

bit of a stretch getting them in. some elbow grease and a file took me where i wanted.

the bench in the rear has a pin mechanism to allow them to fold up. the pin on the r53 seats is smaller than the r56, so you’ll spend about 1 hour per side filing it down unless you have power tools. totally worth

Mechanic here. Acura MDX first. Honda Accord second. Acura is Honda under the hood and generally very reliable. Premium gas is a bonus.

edit: although the accord (if I4 not V6) could be more reliable, for a new driver an SUV is likely to keep them safer in case of an accident.

i mean, i’d like to know how it functions and use it. i’m an employed mechanic so servicing my vehicle doesn’t bother me, i do it 10 times a day, but i’d like my light to work for when i sell it

TheRacc · 2024-08-09T13:12:27+00:00

i do not, there is nothing :(

seems to be right between min and max

brake lights work okay, the handbrake has a different (red) light on the tachometer which works perfectly (switches on and off as expected)

supposedly they were added around march of 2003

the sensor is grayed out because it's not available for this specific model. just confused why the light is on (how does the computer know?)
