I just purchased a barely used 2015 MDX SH-AWD with Tech package. Love it so far for many reasons, but have a few complaints/questions that I wanted to ask those that have owned these for longer then I have.
1) Preset seat/mirror settings: My wife is shorter then I am, but also drives this vehicle the most, so she is setting 1. When I get in, I have to set it to my setting (setting 2) before I can get in or else it is a tight fit trying to sit in my wife's setting. However, the first time I stop and get out, and then go to get back in again, it first moves everything back to setting 1 as soon as I open the door. Then I have to stand there and press my setting again before I can get in - everytime. This is incredibly annoying. I have owned cars in the past that seem to understand to stay on the last selected seat setting until another one is selected. So is this normal operation, and if so - WTF. Is there a way to override it wanting to always revert back to setting 1 every time the door is opened?
2) Display screen brightness at night: I have also owned cars with navigation/info screens that can auto detect when it is getting dark and dim themselves. This MDX appears to require the user to manually dim the display by pressing the button that has a moon or something on it. Again, WTF. Everytime you go to drive at night, you have to manually set that? Is there a display setting somewhere I am missing that does this automatically?
3) Driver Mirror Edge: The driver side mirror has a line on the far left side of the mirror. Everything to the left of that line is basically unusable mirror - i.e. it just blurs images. Was this some half-assed attempt to make the edge of the mirror convex so that you can see more area in your blind spot? If so, it is a huge fail. The visibility in that part of the mirror is really just terrible and unusable. What's the deal with that.
That's all I have for now. Just trying to understand some of the things that seem to be different or annoying compared to previous vehicles I have owned. Thank you.
