DX models? by empowah

Anyone know if the 2005 DX models can be retrofitted with air conditioning? Is it still an accessory? How much should it cost?
 
Thank you.

I think DXs offer A/C only as a dealer-installed accessory and the price depends on what you negotiate with the dealer (probably about $1,000).
 
Note that the DX lacks a rear stabilizer bar in its suspension, so won't handle quite as well--I can't describe in what way; maybe someone else can elaborate.
 
You're better off buying an LX which comes with A/C, the stabilizer bar, and a few other features that are well worth the cost. It's my understanding that not much, if any, money is saved by buying a DX and then adding dealer-installed A/C. Shop for an LX instead......Richard

radio/cd player by maggiesue

I have an '05 Accord EX-L, it has xm, and the 6 cd in dash changer. However, when I load only 1 cd in the player, an original cd, it plays, when I load 2 or more, it skips very badly. And it won't play burnt cd's at all. I read the manual and it will not play rewritable cd's, which the ones I tried to play weren't. Do I just have a defective unit?

If memory serves, MSRP on the dealer installed A/C system is $1,200 PLUS labor for it's installation. H-and-A sells the kit online for $900.
 
Unless you're planning to keep this car forever, remember that you'll take a big hit on resale value - when used LX's are plentiful, who's going to want a stripped DX used?

Unfortunately my Accord was rear-ended on Tuesday. Kind of irritating to see damage on a car that's 5 months old. Hopefully, we will hear from their insurance company by Monday and be able to start the repair process. So we are left driving our Odyssey and Civic Si. I miss driving the Accord .....

Yes, on the DX model the AC is still an accessory and it can be retrofitted by the dealer. I used the information from HandAaccessories to negotiate my price. Got it for $1000 including installation. Hope this helps.

Why don't you just photocopy the appropiate page in the Navigation User Guide? You can laminate it in plastic for under a buck with the packs of sheets available in any office supply store.
 
If you are wed to your laptop, you can scan the User Guide page and store the file on your laptop.

I totally agree with you. In the nine years I've been selling Hondas I can count the number of DX's I've sold using the fingers on one hand.
 
As used cars they are dogs to sell too.

Sorry to hear about your accident. No injuries I hope. Did you have the baby on board? Hopefully not.
I'm sure the body shop will fix the car properly, knowing you and Gee.
Again, hope all is well!
