FX50- 09,10,11 list of differences/changes

I like that the buttons are all on the button left of my knee....I don't like how on the 2010 or newer FXs they started moving things deep down in menus, which you can't even access while driving. Then found out they eventually moved DCA there. Can't believe they even thought of doing that.

The rca video is nice...I play movies from my iPod and iPad and iPhone while we drive on trips.
 
2009-2010 models had no power lift gate. 2011 later models have the power lift gate.

Note that the power lift gate was actually a weird mid-year update. You could have a 2011 with or without the power lift gate. I also believe that 2011+ models with the power lift gate lost the RCA inputs.
 
is the technology package (dca, ldw, fcw...)is available on the 2009 fx50s?


Those features you just mentioned is part of the technology package which is not standard on the FX50. You have to pay extra for it. The FX50 has two optional packages, the technology package and the sport package.

If you get the technology package you get:

DCA - Distance Control Assist which works in stop and go traffic to keep a safe distance from the car ahead of you by using an actuator to move the brake pedal up and down and control the gas pedal by pushing up on it to keep a safe distance from the car ahead of you. No other car in the world has this and the 2009 and up FX is the only and first vehicle to have this feature.

LDW - Lane Departure Warning works by using a camera mounted on the windshield that detects lane drift and send you an audible alert

LDP - Lane departure Prevention works with LDW by detecting lane drift and applies the brakes on the opposite side to help pull you back into the lane

FCW - Forward Collision Warning detects an impending collision and sends an audible alert

IBA - Intelligent Brake Assist works in conjunction with FCW to detect an impending collision and applies all the brakes to mitigate the impact

ICC - Intelligent Cruise Control works with normal cruise control by using the laser guided sensor on the front bumper to keep a safe distance from the car ahead of you on highway driving by decreasing engine speed. When the FX detects the car is no longer ahead of you it returns to the set speed you put the car at. If at anytime you slam on the brakes the FX cancels ICC.

Rain Sensing Wipers - Works by using a sensor on the front windshield to detect rain and automatically turns on the wipers when it senses rain on the windshield. It can also increase wiper speed depending on how hard its raining.

Pre Crash Seat Belts - Adds electronic motorized actuators to retract the seat belts in the event of an accident. Also works upon entering and exiting of the FX by electronically retracting them for you. Very nice feature!!



All I can say is the tech package is awesome. I have it on my FX35 and the just love all the features. DCA is my favorite because it actually almost drives the car for you. The electronic actuators that operate the brake and gas pedal make it look like a ghost is operating the car. My passengers never believe it until they see it. This car is extremely high tech when you option it up with the tech package.

By the way VDC or vehicle dynamic control is standard on all FX's just a part of the traction control system.

And there is no individual options all of that is in the tech package.
