Replying to: carguy74 (Mar 12, 2008 8:27 pm) Of course there's always the opposite effect on some folks (like ABS....). Take a perfectly good safety feature and become less aware of your surroundings. Now when you're talking on the phone and drinking coffee you can not be bothered by actually checking your surroundings..... |

| Am I just too used to driving SUVs, with their high, wide, supple armrest/consoles, or are the driver/front passenger armrests on the Oddy (mine's an 08 touring) utterly deficient. Anyone done anything about it? | |

Replying to: pgpalmer (Apr 14, 2008 9:23 pm) if you know how to use a drill and can make a small hole behind the license plate, then the only tricky thing on the install is routing the wires over to one of the backup lamps which is powered when the vehicle is in reverse. that powers the camera. the way you get your wires from the hole made behind the license plate over to the backup lamp assembly is to loosen the bottom of the hatch's plastic paneling. then i found, going to home depot, some heavy duty velcro (the stuff that came with the unit didn't have good adhesive to hold up under the heat of summer). i applied some to the dash above my side view mirror adjustments (driver's dash lower left), and the other to the back of the display. then to power the display, i used a "Y" adapter plugged into the accessory outlet. I ran my wire down the left side of the driver dash, under and behind the dash garnish near the pedals, and over to the "Y" outlet. it looks fine. you may find this funny, every now and then i'll be in the vicinity of a shop using a wireless camera, and my display will show me the inside of the store, sometimes with people in the isle. once i was behind another car whose backup camera was transmitting all the time... i saw what their camera was looking at. for $100, it has been a good project / value. |

I had a 2004 Odyssey and right in the middle on the top was a hole with a rubber plug so I had not problem. I now have a 2008 Odyssey and do not see any unused holes in the firewall. Need to put some heavy guage wires from the battery for Ham Radio equipment. Anybody drill a hole through the firewall or find an unused hole? |
