Install the Body Plugs
Two body plugs must be installed in the rear portion of
the vehicle. Install the plugs as shown below.
Set Up the Rear Entertainment System
(If Equipped)
The rear entertainment system is available in the
Entertainment Package. The system consists of:
• Dashboard audio unit with front and rear system
controls
• Ceiling-mounted, swing-down video screen
• Removable, wireless remote control
• Audio CD/DVD player mounted in the lower
dashboard
• Two wireless headphones
• Three audio jacks with individual volume controls on
the back of the center console (for third-row
passengers)
• Video game/equipment jack on the back of the
center console
This system allows the front seat occupants to listen to
one audio source (radio or CD) through the vehicle’s
speakers, while the second- and third-row passengers
can watch a DVD or listen to a different audio source
through the headphones. For more detailed
information, refer to the
2008 MDX Owner’s Manual
.
To verify that the system works, do this:
1. Remove the remote control, both sets of wireless
headphones, and the batteries from the plastic bag
located in the cargo area storage compartment.
2. Install the batteries into the headphones. Each
headphone uses one AAA battery that is installed
under the cover of the left earpiece. To remove the
battery cover, put a coin in the slot and twist it
slightly. The remote uses three BR3032 batteries
that are already installed.
3. To use the headphones, pivot the earpieces
outward. This turns the headphones on. When you
remove the headphones, the earpieces pivot
inward, and the headphones turn off. Store the
headphones in the flat off position.
4. Remove the Acura MDX Advanced Technology
Tour DVD from the owner’s manual packet.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC (I) or ON (II)
position, then insert the DVD into the DVD player.
NOTE: The DVD-Audio Demonstration Disc will
work in both players, but the Acura MDX Advanced
Technology Tour (DVD Video) disc will only work in
the DVD player.
6. Release the screen by pressing the RELEASE
button, then lower the screen to the detent.
7. Adjust the volume with the dial on the earpiece.
8. While the DVD is playing, test the functions with the
remote control.
9. Repeat this test with the second set of wireless
headphones to make sure both work properly.
NOTE: The wireless headphones work in the two
rear seat rows only. They do not work in the front
seats or outside the vehicle. Additional wireless
headphones can be ordered from the parts
department.
10. When you are finished, install the remote control in
the ceiling unit. Store both headphones in the front
seat-back pockets.
11. Leave the DVD in the player for the client, and store
its jewel case in the glove box.
Activate the Remote Driver’s Seat Memory
Keyless memory settings can be linked to remote
transmitters 1 and 2 (identified on the back as
MEMORY 1 or MEMORY 2). Once linked, depending
on which transmitter unlocks the vehicle, the
corresponding memory positions are chosen. To link or
unlink the remote transmitters, do this:
1. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at
the same time for about 1 second.
2. The LED blinks once to indicate the remote is
linked; it blinks twice to indicate it is unlinked.
NOTE: The customized settings for the remote that
unlocks the vehicle will be selected.
Check the Moonroof One-Touch Feature
Make sure the moonroof one-touch feature works
correctly. When you firmly slide the moonroof switch
backward and release it, the moonroof should open
fully; when you firmly slide the switch forward and
release it, the moonroof should close fully; when you
push up on the switch and release it, the moonroof
should tilt. If the moonroof doesn’t work this way, reset
the control unit.
