Anyone had their Accord damaged due to an accident? by bszeto

Hi all,
 
My car was parked on the side of a street, and when I came back to pick up the car, I found it damaged due to a speeding driver that struck the rear quarter panel of the car when trying to aggressively merge onto another lane. The damage involved the suspension and rear bumper as well as bending the left rear alloy wheels. I am just wondering whether there will be a vast change in the "rigidity" and the handling of the car once it is repaired! My car, by the way, is a 2003 Accord EX-V6.

My previous Accord (a 2000 EX V6) was rear-ended while I was stopped in traffic, pushing it into the Jeep in front of me. The repair bill was just under $10,000, so obviously the damage was significant. The car spent several hours on the repair shop's unibody straightening system, and it was key to the success of the repair, IMO.
 
To make a long story short, the Accord felt and drove exactly the same after the repair as before the accident, a situation that I attribute to the quality of the unibody straightening job. So just make sure that the repair shop does unibody straightening and has experienced technicians in this procedure, and you shouldn't have any problems with rigidity or handling after the repair.

XM Radio Disruption Yesterday...... by richards38

Between 2:30 PM and just after 3:00 PM yesterday (Sunday, 12/4) I switched on the XM radio in my '04 Accord EX-L and there was no sound--just the word "LOADING" on the LCD monitor (no nav).
 
I don't know how long before 2:30 PM the XM might not have been working and the signal was restored after 3:00 PM and worked later yesterday, too.
 
Did anyone else experience an XM outage (I'm in San Francisco and was heading East at the time) or might there be something wrong with the car's radio?
 
The radio worked on AM and FM stations when I switched to regular broadcasting after several minutes of silence from the XM........Richard

If I had a vehicle that had $10,000 dollars worth of damage, I would let the insurance company repair the vehicle properly, and as soon as the process was completed, I would trade the vehicle back to the same Honda dealer that repaired the vehicle. I would not want a vehicle that sustained that amount of damage.

LCD vs. LED radio display? by ktnr
Dec 05, 2004 (5:35 pm)

The one interior feature on my ’05 LX that seems a little cheap is the large monochrome LCD display on the radio. This has black characters and symbols on a gray field with backlighting.
 
I just noticed in a photo of a non-nav EX-V6 (with in-dash CD changer), that the radio display appears to be of the luminous LED variety (glowing characters and symbols on a black field). Am I correct that even the LX-V6 (which has an in-dash CD changer) has this luminous LED radio display?
 
If so, then bummer. I knew the LX-V6 had a in-dash CD changer but I didn’t realize that there was a big step up from a monochrome LCD display to a luminous LED one. That LED display seems like a much better match for the quality the LED instruments and the Accord’s interior overall. I’m amazed that I never noticed that before. I sure notice it now!

I have an 05' EX-V6 w/navigation and am looking for some online resource for the voice commands. Does anyone have any links for this? Thanks in advance.

All you have to do is say "help" and the navi will display a list of voice commands.

Thanks, I understand I can say help but I'm looking for an "online" reference to the voice commands. Something I can reference while using my laptop. A web link to the Navigation guide or the command summary.
