This bulletin applies to all affected vehicles including, for example, the 2014 Acura MDX vehicles equipped with a 3.5L engine. Acura reports that they have made the HDS easier to install.

With new software version 3.013.014, they have removed as many of the installation steps as possible. Prior, it took at least 21 steps to install the HDS. With the new version, it takes less than six steps.

They report that they have also simplified HDS software updates. Whenever the HDS download manager (HDM) gets new software, it will send a pop-up message to let you know. With a single click, the HDS will automatically start and complete the installation.
