#536 of 649 Re: Install a dvd overhead player for 06 ex-l [matt76110] by mani_r1 Dec 06, 2007 (8:34 am)
Replying to: matt76110 (Dec 04, 2007 9:07 pm) Hi,   I was able to install an an over head monitor and an indash DVD Player (without removing the factory installed CD Player) successfully in Best Buy. Initially the guy told it might be difficult, but then he was able to do it successfully.
#537 of 649 Does USASpec PA11-HON2Y have 4 Audio inputs? by mani_r1 Dec 06, 2007 (8:44 am)
I have a Honda Odyessey 2007 EXL and was able to successfully install an over head DVD monitor and In-dash DVD Player. The DVD Player that we installed is JVC KD-AVX11 which has a small LCD display as well. It kind of nicely fits into the small pocket just under the climate controls and above the glove box. I bought the player attachement kit from Honda (P/N 08B06-SHJ-100) that has the trim and bracket needed. It looks great. I also bought the HON03/PC-SON 03-07 PIE adapter that connects the audio out from the JVC DVD player to the factory installed Radio auxilary input. Every thing works perfect. The guy in Best Buy installed it properly.   But now the question I have is , the JVC DVD Player has 4 Audio outs. 2 for Rear speakers and 2 for Front speakers. We were able to connect only 2 front speakers to the HON03/PC-SON 03-07 unit as it has only 2 RCA inputs. Does USASpec PA11-HON2Y unit has 4 audio inputs. If not is there any other product that can do that. Any help appriciated?   Thanks in advance Replies to this message: thrinkes (Dec 18, 2007 6:58 pm) mani_r1 (Dec 19, 2007 11:31 am)

Replying to: donalduck (Dec 03, 2007 11:53 pm) Donalduck,   There are many ways to make dvd backups. Here is one way which works 100% on my '05 Ody factory RES unit:   -- AnyDVD from slysoft_dot_com to unlock commercially produced (Hollywood) dvds -- CloneDVD 2 from slysoft to copy and burn any unlocked (see above) dvd, or any portion (e.g. remove the nag screens and coming attractions)   These products aren't free, but there are other methods which are free which will work equally well. Nevertheless, I was happy to pay for these products (and in hindsight, I'm still happy I paid), because they are bulletproof and idiotproof. It's as simple as making toast and almost as fast -- and 100% reliable (at least in my experience).   YMMV

Replying to: dporter (Nov 07, 2007 10:57 am) Any suggestion on a good speakers to replace the factory speakers on a '07 EX-RES-NAV? I was thinking of just replacing the front speakers - I was concerned that replacing back speakers might break ANC? Thanks

Replying to: stickguy (Dec 02, 2007 7:35 pm) Thanks stickguy. Did you install the USA Spec unit yourself or got an installer to do it for you, and if so how much should one expect to spend on installation? Someone on another forum tried installing a USA Spec unit on a different vehicle and it didn't work so I'm a bit concerned since I've never installed a car audio part before.

I had a local custom car sterop shop (I won't let one of the chain places like BB or CC touch my car) put it in. I had no desire to start dismantaling the dashboard.   Not sure exactly what I paid, since I also had new front speakers put in at the same time, but I think it was around $40. It really is a pretty simple job if you know what you are doing.   I had the unti put in the small cubby below the HVAC controls. You can also mount it behind the dash and just run wires, but there are some switches on the box to change the settings so I wanted access to it just in case. Also easier to change the RCA cable for the extra set of inputs.   It actually works perfectly in that little cubby. You can leave the ipod in with it and keep the door closed and no one would know it was there. No exposed wires either.

#544 of 649 Re: Factory DVD or After market for 07 Odyssey EX-L - which is better? by thrinkes Dec 18, 2007 (6:58 pm)
Replying to: mani_r1 (Dec 06, 2007 8:44 am) Could you please tell me what you ended up paying to have the after market DVD installed in your 07 EX-L. I am suppose to buy one by weeks end and am having much anxiety over RES or no RES. Its about $1550 more on the price, which equates to approx. $27 more a month for my 66 mo loan! If there is a huge difference with integration, sound, look, etc....then I will just get Factory. But if I am going to have problems and its still going to run around $1k, then why hassle with After market. Please, can someone help my dilemma. Thanks so much!!!!

Replying to: thrinkes (Dec 18, 2007 6:58 pm) This is the breakdown   1. JVC KD-AVX11 Dvd player $230 from frys on thanks giving week end. 2. Overhead DVD Monitor $80 from cardomain.com 3. Trim and other accessrries needed to attach the player $50-$60 4. PIE adapter $50 5. Installation $220.   So around $600 to $650. The most important is to find an installer to install this. The BB installer was willing to try, but most of them are not. And the installation can be much more costilier as it varies from place to place.   Hope that helps.
