#647 of 901 Re: ODY Cargo tray [otguy] by hangaralf1 Aug 05, 2006 (7:07 am)
Replying to: otguy (Jul 10, 2006 1:14 pm) if you are talking about the tray that fits into the well in the back that the rear seat drops into - get it!!! worth every penny. can't tell you how many times the milk carton leaked (in some cases, broke), or the extra bottle of antifreeze broke or mud or sand or whatever. its worth it.   if you are talking about the tray that fits in when the rear seat is down, i personally stayed away from it since the rear seat is up and down so often, that it would be more of a pain than a help

Replying to: black (Jun 21, 2006 10:42 pm) did you add coolers?   Dealer wants $1339 for hitch and coolers installed on my '06! I am trying to find some options!
#649 of 901 Can Power Rear Liftgate be put on EX-L by ramants Sep 05, 2006 (11:37 am)
Has anyone heard of the dealers or any aftermarket places that could add the power lift gate option to an '06 Odyssey? They really should offer it as an option if you don't get the touring.
#650 of 901 What is the best Bug shield / deflector for 2006 Odyssey? by deliciousbass Sep 12, 2006 (3:32 pm)
There are a lot of choices out there, and I would like to get some input from you concerning which one is best for appearance and installation. Thanks! Replies to this message: cableguy06 (Nov 09, 2006 6:52 am) fx35awd (Nov 09, 2006 8:15 am)
#651 of 901 Re: ODY cargo board? [otguy] by davant Sep 22, 2006 (6:29 pm)
Replying to: otguy (Jul 10, 2006 1:15 pm) The cargo board is different from the cargo tray. The tray is for catching fluids, containing sand, whatever fills you Ody. The board is actually two composite felt covered boards, each supported by U-shaped tubing and a plastic edge that supports the boards. Each has a hinge on the front edge but still allows the tubing and board to be two parts (4 parts in the set). There are lanyards and hooks to catch on the headrests so the boards can stay up while loading. I bought it for the flexibility to make the larger board into a table. I mostly use it as a platform when the third row is up and it creates hidden storage beneath each section, split 60/40 like the seats. I have the clear mat set (can't remember the name) that fits four rows nicely and the rear most section covers the boards or the cubby bottom perfectly. The only drawback is the space they take up when you want a flat floor and they spend most of their lives in the garage since we do more cargo hauling than we have people in the third row. The grey nappy felt is durable enough but seems stain prone and wet soaking might warp or degrade the pressed board. The table is handy for impromptu picnics but the expanding legs aren't height adjustable so it's awkward but nearly perfect for kids. Overall worthwhile if you want flexibility but under used here.   Between this hiding spot and the lazy sue in our '06 Touring, there's more than enough space; we're fully loaded with boxes and an 8 ft table up the middle right now.   This darn Ody-MV has more usable space than our '03 Expie EB ever did and gets nearly twice the MPG!
#652 of 901 Remote Starter by drjcl Sep 25, 2006 (3:55 pm)
What is the best remote starter for this vehicle? I would like to be able to start the van (and the air conditioning) from hundreds of feet away. I heard that KARR makes one, but I do not see it on their website. Any ideas? email directly at azdddcox.net
#653 of 901 Re: 2006 Honda Odyssey Rof Box [user777] by 01intrigue Oct 05, 2006 (8:14 pm)
Replying to: user777 (Jul 15, 2006 6:32 pm) Wind resistance would seem to be diminished by having the hardshell roof carrier on the crossbars, because the air can flow both below and above/around the carrier. Our former 2000 Silo got 22 MPG with a full load in the van plus 100 lbs in the 20 Cubic Foot Sears carrier over 2500 miles. We traded the Silo (114K miles) for a 2006 Ody EXL this past Saturday, and I got the dealer to toss in the crossbars as part of the deal (28345 minus 3500 for Silo). Why carmakers now do not include the crossbars (even GM now) can only be to get more money. Just like the Honda cargo trays, which are standard on GM minivans.

Replying to: 01intrigue (Oct 05, 2006 8:14 pm) The bars themselves cause wind buffeting and can effect economy and noise. Slightly yes, but everything counts.   I never use a rooftop carrier so I could care less about the bars. I took them off my previous SUV's because they were ugly and in certain windy situations, quite buzzy. If you need the rooftop carriers...then by all means go for it.   But either way, as long as Honda is moving vehicles at a profit, they're not going to give you an inch more than they have to!

Replying to: 01intrigue (Oct 05, 2006 8:14 pm) look here under accessories for ML 05. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/   looks like you saved $150 for getting the bars for free.   as i mentioned, on our LX, I had them leave them off.   i'm not sure i agree w.r.t. wind resistance of the hard shell carriers vs. a good roof sack with a low front profile like a Kanga.   i tend to agree with the other poster. for a seldom used feature (the cross bars, not the rails) the propensity to "sing" or vibrate when at speed is not worth it when they aren't needed. you can remove yours right?   when i need to really load the roof, i'll probably use 2x2s or 2x4s as cross members for the time it is necessary. so far in 3 years, i haven't had the need for cross members.

Replying to: dj123 (Jun 26, 2006 11:58 am) Sorry, John.. not been on the boards in a while.   I purchased the Yakima Fullswing 4 for use on my Honda OEM hitch. The 2" stingers fits the 2" receiver - no interface or adaptors required. Expensive, but very happy with it.   Steve Replies to this message: mtbhead (Dec 20, 2006 12:06 am)
