    I have just finished both MDX delivery videos and they are outstanding. I am about to purchase a 24 MDX and have read so many reviews and watched video reviews. Universally the reviewer throws a negative at the info system on this car. Clearly they did not spend any time with it making their conclusion meaningless. I will be using this video while setting up my car in the driveway upon delivery and I am very grateful that Serra Acura spent so much time making this information available. Great job!

    Thank you for the video. It's so helpful! I was hesitant on getting an MDX because of the touchpad. I mostly used android auto in another vehicle and I kinda experimented a week to see how much I actually was using the touchscreen in that vehicle. While I did use the touchscreen, I also realized that most of those tasks could be done using voice command or the touchpad. There are some things I do miss using a touchscreen, but I'm getting comfortable with the touchpad. I am quickly getting used to it. One thing I appreciate about the touchpad is that I can do some things without having to look at the screen or touchpad or having to lean forward, which is one of the best advantages of this format. And it's located at a "natural" position. I guess time will tell how it holds up. I hope Acura will continuously provide updates to the system to make it more intuitive and user friendly and not quickly abandon it.

  • @DaveM-FFB
    @DaveM-FFB Год назад +5

    I've seen enough. You've convinced me not to purchase a 2024 MDX. I use Android Auto with a touchscreen. I can't believe that in 2024, there are infotainment screens that aren't touchscreen. It looks like the dashboard design positions the screen a bit too far for the driver to conveniently touch it. So they came up with this TouchPad on the console. Audi did the same thing 10 years ago. Plus, the factory navigation software seems so outdated. I don't want to look down at the console or coordinate between console and screen while trying to focus on the road. I could probably learn to use it, but when I'm in my wife's car or a rental, I'd have to unlearn what I do in the MDX. Unfortunately, the MDX is not for me.

      After 19 months with my 22 MDX Advance, Despite what others say (it's about a 50-50 Love Hate relationship to the TTIP), I still struggle wiith it. I truly LIKE the MDX for its Ride, Looks, Handling, etc. and put the TTIP on the backburner of the car's consideration. I figured it would Grow On Me. I still generally hate it. I use the Steering wheel controls, but still find it burdensome to say the least. Moreover, In AA or Car Play, the Touch Pad id awful!! Doesn't work the same...It's S L O W ! In 2019, I passed on the new RDX bnc of This TTIP. Tooka 2109 MDX which I traded for the new 22 last August 2021. My 37 yo son, who takes my car occassionally - drive a 2017 JEEP GC - hates It !!

    This system also is something that I am iffy about in this car. I understand that most think it's useful and safer, but just seems like either way you are using your eyes and your finger. And if that is the case, the safer method would be when you can see exactly what you are touching, and the eyes and the finger are coming together at the same point. As I watch this video on my laptop, I do understand (and this may be a better way to help demo it to people) that it is very similar to a trackpad on a laptop. However, that is why more people use tablets, smartphones or laptops with touchscreen capability - it's just easier. I do believe that people can get used to any way of doing something, so I'm sure most would get used to this. The challenge is just finding a way to get used to it prior to buying a car so that you are completely comfortable with it.

      Take it frome someone who hates the screen-less Wacom drawing tablet and prefers to be able to draw directly on the Wacom with the screens. I find it a handicap for me to look up at a monitor while my stylus is on the drawing pad. This is not the same with the MDX touchpad. I find using the touchpad to be functionally superior and natural over leaning forward to touch the screen. I wouldn't have it any other way under that scenario. However, if Acura was smart, they would make the screen also a touchscreen for those whose minds and hands don't have the coordination. Consumers brains operate differently and Acura needs to understand that if they want to keep their share of the market.

      Same with Android Auto - it is Awful!! Like a SLOW mouse ! I can't believe Acura would put this put like this. I will comment that the MDX's Navi system is a Good One and works seemlessly with Alexa. Same could be said for the Console USB connection for using a Flash drive. Only works when in Adroid Auto Mode or is it Vice Versa?

    Coming back to a 2023 MDX after a MB 2019 A220, this screen is a MAJOR downgrade. Though I am used to the trackpad after a few weeks, i still miss the gorgeous display of the A220 and I still can't get past that useless right side split screen. I don't see the point of having a gigantic time display or a redundant "Android Auto" display. I really wish they'd get rid of the right side and make the display full screen 😢 big issue for me because you literally can't avoid it.

    Thank you for this, terrific video. People are very split on this design and I understand why. I'm not bothered by the touchpad vs touchscreen, but I do think the side by side display could use some work - it would be nice if it gave the option for fullscreen. I imagine they could deploy that via software update. Having said that, I have a touchscreen in a different car and despise the smudges that show, and I have to lunge forward in my seat to reach it.

    Thanks a ton! Please make more videos like this one. Funny story: I was washing my MDX with AUTO LOCK ON, and the key fob in my pocket, and each time I got close to a door it would unlock the vehicle and push the mirrors out, and each time I stepped away farther it would lock the MDX & fold the mirrors in. (It was kinda amusing.), but, by the time I was all done, I think I confused the vehicle so much that it wouldn't let me back in the vehicle with just touching the door handle with my hand. I had to get the key fob out and hit the unlock button. (I read later in the owner's manual something about functionality being limited if the door handle is all wet.) I'll keep experimenting.

    I would be getting a new MDX except for this touchpad. My wife has a Mercedes without a touchscreen. We love the car but HATE the infotament sytem because of no touch screen. Even after years of ownership we can't get use to how clumpsy it is. All of our other cars are touchscreen and so much easier to use. Thanks for the video, I love everything else about the MDX and was hoping I could get over the touchpad but after watching this I will have to pass.

Re the Navi screen, IMHO, when you could simply use the Mic to announce an address vry simply, why would one use that horrible Handwriting thingee or the worse keyboard - While Driving!! I might add as an Older driver at 71 yo, and even though I am a Gadget Guy, this TTIP is way Too Much Over The ntop. There should have been a few more easy peasy Buttons , espcecially for the the various radio selections like the AC controls. I don't feel the need to get a BA degree to operate the car's functiions!! hahah

    This is a great video. Very thorough, clear, and well thought out. Unfortunately, that infotainment system interface is terrible and bad enough I wouldn’t consider this Acura. There are some nice aspects of that interface, but it generally looks bad. I didn’t think the infotainment system didn’t matter that much or they were all the same, but that is not true at all. Once you have used a nice system, using a bad one like is in our 2018 Highlander, is painful.

      I have had this system on my 2022 MDX and now on my 2023 MDX. I would not want a touch-screen system. The conveniently located touch pad is easy to reach. I would have to lean forward to manage a touch-screen system and then there's the fingerprints all over it. I do use Apple Carplay all the time.

    • @Marximarks
      @Marximarks Год назад +3

      I had just purchased 2023 MDX Advance yesterday and the touchpad is really not bad. I actually like it because it is located where your fingers fall naturally and not have to fully extend your arms to reach a touch screen. It is actually easier to operate while driving because you can just quick glance to confirm that the selected menu is highlighted instead of totally focusing on the screen to hit the target spot if it is touch screen. I think this is much safer when trying to operate it while driving. It was the sticking point for me when I was planning to get an MDX because of all the bad reviews. But once I’ve personally used it, it isn’t bad at all.

    • @s.patterson5698

      ​@TerrySanDiego TOTALLY agree with you. I also have zero issue or discomfort using the touchpad...and while Acura would have been smart to also make it a touchscreen, I would still use the touchpad 80 percent of the time. It is just functionally perfectly located...leaning back and working that screen like James T. Kirk on the starship Enterprise. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't give it the opportunity because it's the "in-thing" to disparage anything that's not a touchscreen. People want to be in the hip crowd, so they simply follow along and assume it's a handicap.
