Those of you brave enough to install this on your own, I would highly recommend to tape up the back trim pieces (near the power gate) before you start. This will help prevent scratches on the trim while you are working. I think a clear shipping tape will do the job.
Remember, the new fob keys need to be programmed by the Acura dealership; at my local dealership is going to charge me about $140. The remote starter kit cost me $280.

That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen, all that work for a simple remote start!? The new RDX is lacking in remote start and wireless charging. Shouldn’t have to relying on the mobile app for remote start, it should be included on a luxury vehicle. Just my thoughts...

I’m more surprised that the USA version don’t have power side folding mirrors and the Canadian models do. Makes 0 sense and the reason I held off on buying one. I can’t support stupidity.

Nice job, man, I would be scared of doing it myself, I know , I would scratch something or worst break something, them plastic panels always seemed to weak for me.

Thank for the video!, just did mine did not have to do half the steps, just removed the Car rubber water Seal, then unclip some of the sides, then go straight to the plastic liner, unclip and disconnect light, then remove, mount the module, I was able to use a drill , place it horizontally, and tighten, before connecting to module make sure you disconnect negative terminal on battery, then connect. Good luck, easy project.

Holy moly thats rediculous for a remote start. If the app can do it, it should be an easy fob program...

@eronshaw3084

This is an excessive amount of work. The entire bottom of the vehicle doesn't need to be removed. The rear side panels can be popped loose enough to remove the top headliner panel. It's still an informative video. Thanks for taking the time to show people.

😂 the first 15 mins I thought you were pulling my leg. Man!! You nearly took the whole car apart just to get the remote start on this Acura. Something that’s standard on all lincolns. I just got an Mdx but I don’t think it will be long before I trade it for a navigator. It’s sucks that it doesn’t have a auto start or 360 cameras

so i have a 2021 rdx aspec that ,when i had the free subscription, could remote start the vehicle. does that means i just need to get some key fobs and have them programmed?

I just got done doing this today, using your video and the Acura instructions. Not hard as some people think, just follow the instructions and watch your video from time to time. Took me 2 hours of work with no knowledge of the car before. And that’s including putting everything back together. Now all I have to do go to Acura. I was told if I bought the remote start from Acura they will do the I-HDS for free. Just show receipt. Not confirmed yet because I haven’t gone.

I followed the updated instructions and it took me an hour to install. Although this video helped out to get through the new steps.

How did the wiring work? Is it just a pre existing wiring harness that you in cap and connect to the box? Does it require cutting and splicing wires ?

@johnnytvisto5112 2 жыл бұрын

Hi I know you worked thru to get to the wires, but I was really looking forward after you installed the bracket to see the receiver connected to the wire... And it sucks that the dealer still have to charge $140 plus tax to reprogram the new keys, question is the reprograming of the keys for the car to star when the brake pedal is pressed and the push button ia pushed? I assume the receiver and the new keys are already communicating to each other... Good video anyway you shed a lot light ...

Can you do another video of the new technique with explanation for each step?

@user-cp7wh4dk9b 5 жыл бұрын

How did you program the new keys to your car? Or did you just take it to the dealer to program the new keys? If so, how much was reprogramming? I bought my kit and this video helps a lot.

@jamestao539

Great video, couple of questions: did you bought the fobs from the dealer or someone else(and how much did it cost); and does 2019 RDX the same as 2021 RDX? Thanks 🙏
