| Just picked up a new 2005 Touring, the first question my neat-freak wife asks, "how do you clean the screen". Read the manual and not surprisingly, no mention. I would think those wipes for computer screens would work, is Windex OK as well? | |

Does anyone have an Odyssey equipped with the rear camera that can say how it works in the winter in a snowy environment? Does it requires continual cleaning? Also have you had any problem with lens becoming scratched or cloudy. We live in upstate NY and are wondering if it is a practical option for this area. Thanks. |

I am about to purchase an 05 Odyssey and am not really sure if the Nav or even the RES is worth the top $$ Honda is asking for. For 1 1/2 years I've been using a StreetPilot 2610 in my current two cars. For those who are not familiar, it's made by Garmin and has most of the features that a Honda system has. Price was about $700 at the time. It comes with 2 Map CD's for all of NA. To me, the main advantage, beside a $1300 saving is the flexibility you have with this solution: When I travel, I just take the Nav with me. Turns out, the places you are least familiar with are often those places where you sit in a rental car. Another advantage is that I can transfer the NAV between my wife's and my car and when I sell the car, I get to keep my NAV system. Of course there are some disadvantages: You don't have voice activation (although you get voice commands!), the system is not DVD based but the newer systems have a hardrive that stores the entire NA map. Obviously, the portable nav is not integrated as nicely and clean as the OEM one is. And sorry, no back-up camera. So, all things considered, I still find it really hard to justify spending $2000 on the Honda system. I also have similar thought on the RES system but that probably should go into another forum.

Replying to: daddyd (Mar 02, 2005 7:24 am) Included in that package were four features: XM radio; navigation system, back-up camera; and DVD system. The price of the Honda part(s) alone to enable an XM-ready system was about $500. The value of the back-up camera was $200-300 for me (and its already paid for itself!). Subtracting those numbers meant the cost of the nav and DVD was down to less than $2700. An aftermarket DVD system would probably run $1000 and (I believe) would not provide separate front and rear audio controls (which, given my teenagers, is a BIG plus). In my mind the value of this integrated system is probably at least $1350, meaning the true "cost" of the nav to me was about $1350. At such a figure I consider it a bargain, especially in comparison with the inferior system in my wife's Pilot that ran an extra $2000. All that said, if I had already owned a Garmin and neither wanted nor needed the DVD system, I would have bought the base Touring. |
