The Bells & Whistles

There's an eight-inch color LCD screen at the center of the instrument panel. It displays information for the Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition, the audio system, and other in-car functions.

Navigation, audio, dual climate control and other features are controlled using the dial that's mounted in the center of the instrument panel, just below the screen. The driver can use the dial to scroll through menu options, pointing and clicking to select like we would a mouse.

The RD-X features the AcuraLink satellite communication system, which includes real time traffic information and provides communication between the driver and Acura customer service.

The system also allows the driver to access the Internet, read movie reviews, and download music. A hard-drive provides storage for a digital music library.
