Nope, can't move 3rd row. Only option is to upgrade to a van with 8 seats.

Remote Start and Window Down in Ody EX-L 07 by ody07

I think Ody EX-L 07 comes with keyless entry and security system. Please correct me if I am wrong. Does anyone know if it also has remote start and remote window up/down feature as well?

2006 Odyssey Fenderwell Trim Install and Maintenance by nowakj66
Apr 14, 2007 (12:24 am)

I just had the Fenderwell Trim installed on my 2006 Odyssey.
 
The front trim involves the trim piece only and the rear includes the trim plus a rubber strip called an "inner protector".
 
The service tech warned that water can collect in the "inner protector" and cause rust. He suggested removing it once a year and making sure the area is clean and dry to avoid rust.
 
This got me thinking - should I just remove this "inner protector"? Or remove it now and wax that area thoroughly before putting it on again to fight rust?
 
I just recall how early 90s Accords all seemed to rust in that area.
 
Thoughts and advice are appreciated!
 
Note - You can see how the fenderwell trims are installed here:

Let me put this question simply - has anyone who has installed the fenderwell trim in a 2005 or later Odyssey had a problem with rust?

in two years or less, are they likely to have seen it? would they be taking it off to inspect the fenderwell area? i think you're asking a question that isn't likely to be answered.
 
personally, w.r.t. additional trim like this or even bras, etc, i'd be weary of unnecessary dirt and water accumulation. i don't think appearence-wise or protection-wise they are necessary on the vehicle. and, i think they'd interfere with proper wax. also, i think these things are likely to cause paint color differences (what is protected / what isn't). which is another way of saying what is protected, long-term has to remain that way, or there's likely to be a paint coloration difference.
 
that's just one reader's opinion though.
 
if you really want to seek out an answer for this question, you might want to try posting in another ODY forum on another site that deals with appearence issues. another option is to speak to someone knowlegeable at a detailing or paint shop. this must be a common question, not specific to hondas.

Thanks - they are on there now for better or worse.
 
I guess the same arguments could be made against the splash guards / mudguards which I also put on my cars to protect the rocker panel.
 
Now that they are on, I need to enjoy the protection and keep on eye on them for water accumulation.

yeah. enjoy them. just keep the vehicle clean and periodically waxed. if it isn't necessary, don't leave it exposed to sunlight... that is, enjoy it while it's not filled with dirty diapers, used juice boxes, cheese fish crackers, stale cereal bars, etc.
 
i think one thing i would have done (i have an LX with cloth) would be to apply more scotch-guard on the flooring to prevent stuff from staining. specially between the middle seats.
 
watch out for and immediately remove crayons. they melt!
 
four years into ownership, we don't have mud-flaps, no problems. just the typical dings and scratches from other stuff.
 
wife asking now for a backup sensor or camera. hmmm.

See May issue of Consumer Reports for info about a wireless back up camera. Mag says it is worth a look, and can be found for under $100.00.

Having owned our '05 Ody with OEM backup camera now for two years (and an '04 Lexus GX470 with same), I can say the sonic parking sensors are better than a camera IMHO. The rear camera easily gets dirty, sun washes it out, and if you really want to use it you have to wait for the NAV to boot. I'd spend the money on parking sensors before a camera.

Is it easy to install fog lights? by zoozeek

Has anyone installed fog lights on a 2005-07 Odyssey? Is it easy or difficult? Is installing the switch easy? Is the minivan pre-wired, or is wiring necessary? Thanks for the help.
