#52 of 649 TV/DVD? & sub wolfer by ohlone Jul 23, 2002 (9:52 am)
for those who have a TV tuner with their entertainment system; where is the antena for reception? how well does the picture come in? can you actually hold a signal while driving?   Re: Sub wolfer ; sounds like a good addition - I was hoping someone could mention how easy/hard it is to install, where did you place it and if the wiring is already there.
#53 of 649 Removal of factory radio/CD by phil0044 Aug 07, 2002 (9:52 am)
My factory radio/cd unit gives me an E-00 when playing the CD's. It works okay if the unit has not warmed up, but gives the error and won't play any CD's once it has been working for about 5 - 10 minutes. I'm looking to replace the unit with an after-market radio/cd with steering wheel remote controls. How difficult and what are the steps to removing and replacing the unit? The dealership wants $250 to remove it and send it in for analysis. Also a factory replacement is $500. Any information would help. Thanks.

The same thing happened to my CD. Kept giving me the E-00 error. I took it in and they said $250 to send it out to have it repaired. I have the Honda Care Warranty and with that they replaced the unit with a remanufactured unit at no cost. The warrenty is slowly paying for itself. Good luck.
#55 of 649 Aftermarket radio that works with steering wheel controls by keidejw Oct 15, 2002 (7:35 pm)
I'm trying to replace the cd/radio in my 2000 EX. I want to retain the functionality of my factory steering wheel audio controls. The vendors I have talked to (including Crutchfield) have told me that I can use an aftermarket infrared sensor adaptor to a new CD/Radio. This solution seems sub-optimum to me, since the existing factory unit utilizes a hard wired system between steering wheel and radio. Does anybody have any ideas on an aftermarket radio that will use the existing remote wire harness?
#56 of 649 Taping into video-signal from RES by drlapeza Nov 03, 2002 (3:35 pm)
Does anyone know anything about taping into the video signal from the factory RES (rear entertainment system)? I know I can feed a VCR or PS2 into the system by the in jacks, but how about getting the signal OUT on its way to the built in monitor? I want to be able to add an additional small LCD screen to the system so the front seat passenger can see what's on the screen. So many DVDs require additional steps besides PLAY to start correctly. With DVDs having musical animated menu screens, the menu screen will be on, playing the theme music, etc - we think the video has started while the 2-year-old is just staring at the menu screen getting frustrated. Thanks!
#57 of 649 Installation of i-VES DVD system on 2003 Odyssey by kentucky63 May 13, 2003 (2:04 pm)
I am considering the installation of an i-VES Honda DVD system on my Odyssey. However, I have some questions. I can get the system for hundreds less from www.handaaccessories.com -- however, I would like to have my local dealer do the install. Can a local Honda dealer refuse to do the install on a Honda accessory purchased from another dealer? Also, for anyone who has had this done, how much did installation cost?   I went to a Circuit City and was looking at an Audiovox VOD806 unit -- but the installation folks told me that I COULD NOT use a non-Honda overhead DVD unit in the 2003 Odyssey. They said that the Honda RES unit and the i-VES system came with some sort of bracket support and that non-Honda units could not be used in the Odyssey. They also said something about the type of headliner the Odyssey has in it. I think it was bull, but am not sure. They were stearing me toward some headrest units.   IS THIS TRUE?????

Have you contacted your Honda dealer and asked if they would do an accessory install if you didn't purchase the item from them? I would imagine they would, but it's probably a management decision. As for cost, it should be whatever they usually charge for labor on an installation. However, they might possibly try to up the labor if you haven't purchased the accessory from them?   I took a look at the installation directions for the Honda i-VES. Yikes...not something an amateur should attempt, imo.   As for the AudioVox unit, all I could find out about it was that it fits in "most" makes/models. So it's possible the Circuit City people were not feeding you a line.
#59 of 649 Create your own video system by jackfam May 30, 2003 (5:38 am)
With the price of 15" LCD Screens w/speakers falling and an abundance of portable VCR and DVD players...have any of you thought of "building" you own system? It appears that most LCD screens need 12 volts to be powered and most require a maximum of 3 amps.
#60 of 649 Steering wheel control interface by d8893 Jul 07, 2003 (1:21 pm)
I am looking to have an aftermarket CD/MP3 player installed in my 2000 Odyssey EX. I was thinking about having a steering wheel control interface installed as well, so I can still control the reciever using my steering wheel controls. Has anyone had one installed? How does it work?
