If I had one I would try it

I already tried it on my 2G MDX keeping the shifter down and see if it will kick down 2 gears but nope... Just 1 by 1 which is fine I guess since I only have 5 forward gears.... But 9 gears??
I think the logic behind this is that Honda/Acura thinks you will use this on slow winding roads so you should be already in a low gear but since the first 5 gears are so god damn close to each other I would not be surprised if you have to move between 3 or 4 gears depending on the curve you are taking which is insane to shift 1 by 1.
Since the ZF9 transmission works with dog gears I think its highly possible due to the design of the trans to behave like this with a simple software update for the driving behavior of the paddle shifters... This will make the Paddle Shifters work like they used to on the low geared 5 and 6 speedo by skipping unnecessary gears on the 9 speed.
