There was an attempted theft of my MDX in Montreal last week.

Someone tried to steal my MDX from the street last week. He tried to break the side window but couldn’t. He then shattered the moon roof and broke the fabric cassette. Tried to start the car but the police arrived in time because a neighbour saw the whole thing and called them.

In the end, they caught him. A 15 year old that was detained and then let go because he was a juvenile.

The laws in this country are a joke. I hope the SOB gets what he deserves.

I’m stuck with dealing with insurance. The dealership quoted $10K. HOPING they fix it in a couple of weeks.

If you have an MDX, secure it and make sure it’s in a garage. There’s a wave of thefts going on.

2018 MDX Sporty Hybrid - 105k MAJOR service due...

Have owned the MDX since new and has been maintained by the book. So the B14 service is due for me soon. My research suggests doing the timing belt, serpentine belt, valve adjustment, water pump, spark plugs and oil change. (I rotate tires myself).
For this I have been quoted $3800 by my local Acura dealership? What are others paying
I have a indi shop that I am waiting for a quote on - they seem to be the best non-dealer alternative.

Key fob

Will you get the beeping sound if a key fob is nearby the car? Or only if it’s inside the car

I misplaced one of my key fobs, when I get out of the car (as I’m digging for it) i’ll get the beeping sound as if I left a key in there. I’ve torn my car apart. There is no key in there.

I really really don’t want to replace it.

I have a pods storage container in my driveway as I’m moving, is it possible it’s in here someplace?

Or will I only get that sound because it’s left in the car

2009 factory lug nut stule

Everything I find online indicates that the stock alloy wheels have a 60⁰ cone seat, which is what my daughter's 2nd hand MDX has installed.Can anyone confirm this? I have a knowledgeable friend insisting that they should be "mag type" flat washer seat.

It's Sunday night, don't have the vehicle with me. Will call a dealer tomorrow if necessary.

Thanks!

UPDATE for future searches:

I spoke to a dealer who confirmed that the factory wheels use M14x1.5 ball/radial seat lug nuts.

There are quite a few inaccurate parts listings out there including flat seats and 60⁰ conical seats, as well as M12(!), and I still can't find an actual official source from Honda/Acura on the web.

Anyone had their windshield replaced? Questions.

A rock hit my wife's '23 MDX windshield and I will need to get it replaced. I'm going to be making an insurance claim and looking for advice on replacement. Should I just contact the dealership for the process or go through glass shop then contact dealership for calibration? Has anyone experienced going through this? What is the best corse of action? Thanks in advance.

Infotainment issues

I bought a 23 Tech back in February and the infotainment system already seems borked. It restarts constantly and I can't keep my phone connected to it.

Has anyone else had this issue or is it just the end of the road for mine and need to replace it?
