does remanufactured mean it's used parts that they spruce up and put back into a package? or does it mean it's some guy copying the original OEM part but using "similar" materials and recreating it.

I bought reman'd calipers one time and had to reman'd them myself after it started leaking after the first drive.
And then I reman'd my original calipers because the reman'd reman'd calipers were spongy.
injectors are a funny cat, I got lucky and replaced my lucas injectors (they were 100 each new) with bosch fox body mustang injectors and it worked

one time I brought a centric master cylinder from rockauto expecting it to be decent but it caused all my brakes to lock up after driving for 20 mins. All the forums said the only solution was to buy a oem trw master cylinder from UK for $300+
thought I would be do the final touch by swapping the tailgate to a non rusty one on the rage rover
ended up shattering the tailgate 
luckily it was the old one that shattered

Partition! 
I've always wondered if partitioning is better or not. Maybe better if you rent that side out?
I like the Target handbasket. Lansdowne location?

the garage was built in the 80s and cars grew alot since so the partitioning is a PITA, my RR is parked like 3in from the wall to get my little 2ft walkway infront of my bench. sucks big time when I need to work on the passenger side of the truck
otherside is basically the same, 2ft clearance on both sides but I put the fridge and random junk in there so its driver access only from the garage

I do it for the grief .
They are pretty easy to work on, they just get a bad rap because they are high maintenance and no RR owner will fork out money on maintenance.
The P38 is special though, mechanically its decent, its the electronics that's screwy and diagnosing takes a lot of patience. (usually its just corroded joints).

TRADED.
Goodbye my reliable friend of 5yrs/3months - 2021 RDX A-SPEC 
Hello my new friend for the next 10yrs!!! - 2024 RDX A-SPEC  
Why?
- enhanced drive modes - improved throttle response
- quieter cabin
- improved/faster infotainment with FULL screen carplay/AA
- Wireless AA / Carplay
- rear camera washer
- rear hands free trunk release via kick sensor
- courtesy lighting (puddle lights and side mirror lights)
- Ambient in-cabin lighting with customizable colors
- wireless QI charging pad
- VERY good trade in value for my previous 2021 (clean carfax/no accidents/no claims)

What's very good trade in value? I would assume a 21 is worth around 35k?
Have they made any changes to the drivetrain over the last few years? I actually really like how the RDX drives when we test drove it, but the tranny's occasional retarded decisions made me decide not to get it.

2022+ (refreshed) completely refined with smooth delivery on all drive modes and shifting thru gears.
my 2021 had 78,000km. $33k trade.

How's the trackpad work with CarPlay? Does it let you hover over different buttons in the UI, and you just press down on the trackpad to select? Is the screen also touch enabled (even if you have to lean forwards a little)?

The screen is not touch enabled, and is positioned so far away it wouldn't be accessible if it was.

If it's anything lime the Carplay experience with a trackpad on a Lexus, would not recommend. You mouse around and the hover moves around. Click to select. Sometimes pop ups like maps notifications come with a button that you cant mouse or click into.

The latest iOS update with liquid glass makes it even worse as the highlight colour makes it really hard to tell what's selected and, in some cases, like showing recently played albums you can't actually select certain items.
That Acura reversed it on the MDX in half a generation speaks volumes to how horrible a system it is.
