Unfortunately, the 2018 Acura RDX does not come with Apple CarPlay compatibility. Acura introduced CarPlay into their lineup in 2017, with the NSX. In 2018, it added the MDxAnd TLX to the list. Finally, in 2019, the ILxAnd the RDX were the last to join the fray. What does this mean for You Well, even though Your stock manufacturer's head unit is not CarPlay compatible, it doesn't mean You're out of options. Several aftermarket head units exist which are compatible with the '18 RDX. Companies like Alpine, Pioneer, and Kenwood manufacture units, but they do come at a price: they can run in the $500 range. Balking at that Consider it a safety upgrade; Apple touts their user friendly interface as one, since it can keep eyes on the road and off of mobile phones, thus reducing the chances of an accident.

No, the 2018 Acura RDX does not have Apple CarPlay. The only 2018 Acura models with the connectivity are the MDX. NSX and the TLX. But Acura is planning to release the 2109 RDX with smartphone integration.
