Quick answer

The 2025 RDX True Touchpad Interface maps each touchpad location directly to the matching location on the 10.2-inch display, so there is no cursor to drag across the screen.

How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    While parked, identify the tile or control you want on the 10.2-inch display.

  2. 02

    Touch the same relative location on the large touchpad: for example, use the pad's upper-left area for an item in the screen's upper-left area.

  3. 03

    Tap the mapped location to select it; swipe on the pad when a page or list supports scrolling.

  4. 04

    Use the narrow secondary touch zone for the display's right-side information area.

  5. 05

    Use the physical Home and Back controls to recover quickly when you enter the wrong screen.

Important limits

  • Practice while parked. The interface is designed to reduce reach and visual search, but it does not eliminate driver distraction; avoid complex tasks while moving.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the wrong item is selected, stop trying to drag a cursor and touch the pad at the item's matching screen position.
  • ✓If input is erratic, clean and dry the touchpad and remove gloves that prevent reliable touch detection.
  • ✓If only the right-side panel changes, move from the narrow secondary zone to the larger main pad.
