FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

What ADAS systems does the Acura MDX have?
The Acura MDX is equipped with AcuraWatch™, which can include forward-facing cameras, front radar, blind-spot monitoring sensors, and parking assist systems depending on the model year and trim level. ADAS features became available starting with the 2014 model year. Core Auto Logic provides calibration and programming for all Acura MDX ADAS components.
Does the Acura MDX need ADAS calibration after windshield replacement?
Yes. Any Acura MDX equipped with a forward-facing camera mounted behind the windshield requires ADAS calibration after windshield replacement. The AcuraWatch™ system relies on precise camera alignment, and even a slight shift during glass installation can affect system accuracy. Core Auto Logic performs both static and dynamic calibration procedures to restore factory specifications.
What years of the Acura MDX does Core Auto Logic service?
Core Auto Logic services the Acura MDX from 2007 through 2026, covering 20 model years. Our services include ADAS calibration, airbag module repair, ECU programming, key programming, and other electronic module work specific to each model year.
Can Core Auto Logic program keys for the Acura MDX?
Yes. The Acura MDX uses the HISS / Honda Smart Entry immobilizer system, and Core Auto Logic can perform key programming including adding spare keys and all-keys-lost (AKL) recovery on supported years. We use Honda HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) alongside our advanced key programming hardware to ensure proper immobilizer pairing.
How has the Acura MDX's technology changed over the years?
The Acura MDX has evolved significantly across its production run. YD4 (2022+) platform completely redesigned the ADAS architecture. Radar initialization is complex and requires specialized aiming tools. The vehicle network uses CAN, which affects diagnostic procedures and module communication.
What diagnostic tools are needed for the Acura MDX?
The Acura MDX requires Honda HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) for OEM-level diagnostics, module programming, and calibration procedures. Precision targeting required. Radar modules must be initialized and targeted properly to avoid 'ACC requires alignment' messages. Core Auto Logic maintains current subscriptions and licensing for all required Acura diagnostic platforms.
