Rick - Thank you for helping us purchase our 2009 Acura MDX.  It was the easiest buying purchase we ever had.  Thanks again for everything! The S... Family

 Alleviate: To make more bearable.  From the Latin: alleviare, to lighten.

Over the holidays, I received some thoughtful gifts from my clients. Of these, the little box below made its mark. My clients know I will take all the time necessary to see them through their questions, hesitations, and uncertainties; I do my best to offer genuine counsel.  After a rather extended discussion involving no small amount of uncertainty, I received this little box...along with a box of top-notch toffee and, most importantly, a warm sense of humor.

In the end, we do well only if we offer each other gifts beyond the limited and mundane transactions of life.

Rick - First, I love the car.  I mean, who wouldn’t?!?

Second, on each encounter I enjoy getting together with you.  You lay things out fairly, and accurately, and warmly, and easily.  You make what is for many people a dreaded experience, a pleasure.

Third, I love doing business with Flatirons.  Besides the general high quality of the dealership and its products, my experience yesterday was extraordinary and, I’d guess, rather rare.  How many companies with which I might make a deal would come back to me and say, the rates have gone down, and therefore so has your price?!  I don’t know how awards are doled out in your industry, but you guys certainly deserve one for both quality and integrity.

So, thanks for infusing new excitement in my life, and within my budget!

Greg

The Keyless Access Sytem is available on all 2009 models of the TL that have a Technology Package.  When you carry the keyless access remote, you can lock and unlock the doors, unlock the trunk, and start the engine without using the built-in key.

Here is the same remote with the built-in key removed:

The keyless access remote slot is located on the dashboard, to the left of the engine start/stop button.  Use the slot to store the keyless access remote when you're inside the vehicle.

To remove it, simply turn off the vehicle and pull the remote firmly from the slot.

There is a keyless access system mode switch inside the glove box (see below).  Turn the switch off to disable the keyless access system.  You will not be able to automatically unlock the doors or trunk, and you will not be able to start the engine without inserting the keyless remote into the keyless remote slot.

There is also a trunk main switch in the glove box.  When you turn it off, the valet can only lock and unlock the doors and start the car.  The glove box, trunk, and trunk pass-through will remain locked.
